  • In a matchup between Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid, the game’s two pre-eminent players, the Penguins proved their star power goes a little further down the lineup card than Edmonton’s does.
  • Martavis Bryant wants the ball more. Ben Roethlisberger wants to be part of that conversation. And Mike Tomlin wants to talk about football rather than his disgruntled wide receiver’s role in the Steelers offense.
  • When the Penguins put Antti Niemi on waivers on Monday, they decided to go young at the backup goaltender position.
  • It was hot, 103 degrees. Hotter than it has ever been at the start of an MLB postseason game. Hotter than the game-time temperatures of the previous two World Series openers combined.
  • In a letter sent to Tom Jurich to justify his firing as Louisville athletic director with cause, interim president Gregory Postel alleges that Jurich engaged in willful misconduct.
