Please see tip, pledge or subscribe buttons or my venmo is : @Rich-Monetti Wantagh Slideshow On Saturday June 7, Somers faced Wantagh in the regional finals. At Yorktown, Miguel Iglesias put Somers up 1-0 after only 32 seconds. But the actual tone for the game was started right out of the gate by Matt Mayfield. “We had so many more possessions,” Bret Kennedy expressed a kind understatement.

A Look at the 2023-24 Florida Panthers
You know, a team's road to their very first championship is always interesting, no matter what the sport is. In 1989, the Calgary Flames capitalized on some key acquisitions over the years, as well as the Oilers being weakened a bit after The Great One was traded. In 1996, the Colorado Avalanche came off a move but were still building from that big trade a few years prior. And in 2019, the St. Louis Blues were finally rewarded after over five decades of close calls, bad seasons, and heartbreak.

Somers Season Ends with Loss to Rye
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons below or my venmo is : @Rich-Monetti At Rye High School, the clock was winding down on Somers season and quite a few careers. One in particular was Sydney Ingraham, and no surprise, she stayed in character. “You play to the end,” said the senior, and a leaping interception turned into one last goal for Somers parents to voice appreciation for their standout. Of course, the sentiment went both ways in the 16-6 semifinal loss.

Stanley Cup Final Game Six: You Always Remember Your 2nd
On July 24, 2024, the Florida Panthers finally reached the mountaintop and became Stanley Cup Champions in Game Seven of that year's Final. Winning the Stanley Cup is intoxicating. It's a beautiful feeling. After eight months overall, and about 100 games of grueling hockey, a team finally reaches the pinnacle and wins the greatest trophy in sports. And just a week shy of a year later, the Panthers were looking to do it again. As for the Edmonton Oilers, they had their backs to the wall and were facing elimination for the first time all year. Their last visit to Sunrise was a victorious one, but they needed to do it again to bring the series back to Edmonton one more time.

Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is : @Rich-Monetti On Friday May 23, Somers hosted Nanuet in the first round of the sections, and it didn’t take long for the teams to know who was advancing.

Stanley Cup Final Game Five: Rat Trap
For the first time in six years, the Stanley Cup Final is even at two games each, and has now become a best-of-three series. 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.

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?

Stanley Cup Final Game Three: Around the Goal Horn
So far, the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, the rematch between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers, has been quite legendary. Only two games played, but nine periods were featured.
