First off congratulations to Joel Quenneville and the Chicago Blackhawks on winning the Stanley Cup. There are few people in this business I’d rather see lift the Stanley Cup before Quenneville. This guy has been a great coach for a long, long time and will finally receive the recognition he deserves as a winner.

Sources confirm the negotiations with the St. Louis Blues and goaltender Chris Mason have taken a step in the right direction as the two sides appear to be closer to reaching a deal on a contract extension.

The Blues are having ongoing discussions with former first rounder David Rundblad in an effort to get the Swedish native signed prior to the June 15th deadline.

It was the end of an era in baseball a few nights ago as one of the all time greats announced his retirement. Ken Griffey Jr called it a career after 22 years in the bigs, and will be primarily be remembered as one of the dominant power hitters in MLB history…

Or will he?

Hear me out! There’s no disputing that Griffey Jr has the numbers to support being labelled as one of the best the…
