Of the 29 previous occurrences, the winner of Game Five went on to win the series 22 of those times. One of the seven teams who failed was the New Jersey Devils in 2001. The Devils won Game Five in Denver, but dropped the next two games to the Colorado Avalanche. The most recent failure was 2011, when the Vancouver Canucks shut out the Boston Bruins, but were blasted again in Beantown before getting shut out at home in Game Seven.

Not only is it the first month of summer, but it's the month of champions, as two of the main four leagues award their trophies during the sixth month of the year. Usually, one seems to outdo the other, and nearly every year, it's the Cup that does it. But there's something different about this year. While the Cup Final rematch has delivered big time, the NBA Finals has also been quite delicious.

Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is : @Rich-Monetti Crowd Shots and Video On Monday May 19, John Jay was cruising along with a 7-0 lead after four. But a bloop RBI single in the fifth, a home in the sixth and four straight hits in the sixth suddenly had the game feeling way too close for comfort.

Stanley Cup Final Game Four: Eins, Zwei, Drai(saitl), Vier
In Game Three of the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers were absolutely punched in the mouth by the Florida Panthers--literally and figuratively. A 6-1 Panthers victory, the Oilers' first horrific performance of this year's playoffs since Game Two of Round 1. An argument could be made that the Oilers needed this. They needed a bad game to really focus and get back to basics. Would it work? Would the Oilers rebound from their horrible defeat?
