April 15, 2024 will mark the 77th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's debut in Major League Baseball. Robinson, who was 28 years old at the time, broke the color barrier.

Golden Knights Look to Repeat, but Face a Bumpy Road
Well...they're in. The Vegas Golden Knights are in the playoffs, but it wasn't an easy road. Despite an 11-0-1 start to the season, the Knights fell off the rest of the way, and it looked like that the defending champs wouldn't be back in the playoffs. However, Vegas did manage to get back in the thick of things and move back above the playoff line, and they would enter this day with a chance to stay up there for good. They got some help from the Carolina Hurricanes, who won 5-2 over the St. Louis Blues, meaning that Vegas could get in with a win of any kind. Boy, did they get it: a 7-2 win over the decaying Minnesota Wild.

Will the Kings' 3rd Straight Playoff Appearance Serve as the Charm?
Entering this very day, only one team was playing for the chance to join the greatest Sweet 16 in sports: the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That team was the Los Angeles Kings, who were having a devil of a time trying to get in the playoffs. They had a chance to clinch on Sunday. No go. They had an easy chance to get in on Tuesday. All they had to do was defeat the Anaheim Ducks. Again, no go. Take three came on this evening, as the Kings were at home against the Calgary Flames. The third time was the charm. A 1-0 lead after 20 became a 3-0 lead after 40, and that pretty much did it. The Kings went on to win, 4-1, and it was party time in the City of Angels.

Red Hot Predators Join the Playoff Party
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are upon us, and the pieces of the playoff puzzle are filling up. Entering this insane day of NHL action, five playoff spots remained overall, with three of the open spots being in the Western Conference. Two of the spots could have been filled on this night, as the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings could have locked in spots. All the Preds needed was one point, that's all. Just get to overtime. It didn't look like it would happen, as the Preds were down 3-1 against the Winnipeg Jets. Nashville did manage to tie it up, and the third period managed to end with the score tied at three. The Preds did lose in OT, but the one point they got ended up placing them in the playoffs.
