Tampa Bay Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy is so good these days that it seems like him being a Vezina Trophy finalist is kind of a shoo-in.But one of the best back stoppers of the last decade is not immune from being the butt of a joke, and the Lightning decided to have some fun while giving Vasilevskiy his second career Vezina Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s best goaltender.And it was the kind of prank that would look right at home on an episode of “Punk’d.”ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! …Remember “Punk’d”?!The NHL has been doing this thing over the last couple of years where they announce all of the award winners early instead of doing it at the NHL Awards. I’m not big on this, and I think the idea is to come up with ways to surprise winners and cook up some sweet, sweet social media content to boot.So, with Vasilevskiy winning the award over Boston’s Jeremy Swayman and Islander Ilya Sorokin, the team got creative with how they’d give him the award.HERE ARE THREE NHL GOALIES WHO WERE MASSIVE VEZINA TROPHY FINALIST SNUBSAnd what better way to do…

The conversation surrounding college football these days is all about whether or not an expanded playoff is the right move for the health of the sport.Whether the College Football Playoff expands to 24 teams or not remains to be seen, but as a traditionalist, I miss the days of the BCS, when only two teams played for a national championship at the end of the season.It was brutal for a large majority of the country, where one loss put all your team’s hopes and dreams on life support, but it made for some insanely dramatic television week in and week out.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!This era gave us some of the best champions in the history of the sport, but it also gave us some all-time teams who never played for a natty who more than deserved a shot.Today, I’ll be looking at five of the best teams to never play for a national championship in the BCS era.Obviously, this is a very subjective ranking, so feel free to comment your choices below.5. 2000 Miami Hurricanes We all remember the 2001 Miami Hurricanes as one of the greatest college teams…

It is a bit of a sad day. We don’t have any NHL or NBA Playoff games to enjoy tonight. The Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights played last night, and there was an extra travel day for the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks who play Game 3 tomorrow.That leaves us with baseball and women’s basketball, but that isn’t a complaint. Those bets cash the same as any other.The Chicago Sky are just 4-6 for the season, and were able to grab a win on Friday night, taking down the lowly Connecticut Sun. The Sky are universally considered one of the worst-run franchises in the sport, but I’ll give them a bit of credit for at least building a roster with some solid veterans on the team. They added players like Skylar Diggins, who is leading them in points and assists. Natasha Cloud provides solid defense, and Rickea Jackson was playing very well before injury.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Still, you need to wonder what the team is actually searching for this season. At best, they will make the playoffs, but will probably be eliminated without any real…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The World Is Approaching “Tank Bottoms” As Experts Warn That Very Painful Oil Shortages Are Ahead This Summer Without sufficient quantities of oil, the global economy will not be able to operate normally. So the fact that the global economy is running a massive “oil deficit” right now should deeply alarm all of us. Ever since the war with Iran began, the world has been consuming far more oil than it has been producing. We have been running down commercial oil inventories and strategic oil reserves all over the planet, and now those supplies are starting to run dry. In the not-too-distant future, global demand for oil will substantially exceed what is available, and that will mean much higher prices and very painful shortages. Asia will be hit the hardest because they are more dependent on oil from the Middle East than anyone else, but we will certainly feel this crisis very keenly as well. According to the International Energy Agency, global oil stocks are being depleted at a record pace, and they could reach “critical levels” by the middle of the summer… Global oil…

Major League Baseball had Rivalry Week a few weeks back. However, this weekend is the one where we get the most commonly thought of rivalry in baseball. Two of the most historic franchises square off as we have the Boston Red Sox taking on the New York Yankees.Rumors have it that the Boston Red Sox are expecting to make a push for a playoff spot. We aren’t quite at that point where they need to make a decision about their roster, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see them make an early splash if they do plan to add to their team.They have a losing record for the season, and I’m not sure this is the division that they can afford to be bad for too long. Everyone in the division considers themselves a contender and has a legitimate chance to make the playoffs — or at least did before the season started.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Tonight, Boston sends out one of their major offseason acquisitions, Ranger Suarez. For the season, Suarez is 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. I have to imagine the team is pretty happy with his performance overall. On the…

The idealized concept immediately took root and blossomed: the Royal Air Force saved Britain from invasion in 1940. The conventional wisdom holds that Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s legendary “few” handed Nazi Germany its first defeat in World War II and paved the road to eventual victory. But was it true? In this poster, a German bomber is shot down by a British fighter during the Battle of Britain. Image: NARA After eight decades, it’s time for some objectivity about this admittedly heroic stand. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the Western allies joined in a belated effort to counter Adolf Hitler’s avarice. The months-long “phony war” turned chillingly real in May 1940 when the Wehrmacht unleashed the Blitzkrieg that swallowed Western Europe, leaving Britain to face the all-conquering Third Reich alone. After a short interval in which Hitler expected London to accede to his demands, the Battle of Britain began with persistent Luftwaffe attacks from July onward. Before the Battle Britain had fought an aerial battle in home skies during World War I, soundly defeating Germany’s Zeppelins and heavy bombers. Then the years preceding World War II stirred a mixture of techniques and technologies that proved crucial in 1940. They…

We get Saturday Screencaps rolling this morning with the sun shining, the birds chirping, the humidity rising and that smell of summer in the air. I can’t stop thinking about those road trips. Those golf scrambles where your phone magically doesn’t work for 4 1/2 glorious hours. No work calls. No Zooms. Just one with nature.That’s what Danica Patrick is up to on this Saturday morning. From the look of things, she took off for Italy where she’s on a yacht doing what people do on yachts. No work calls. No late-Friday Slack messages to address. She’s just out there living life after making a boatload of money in her career. This is how you celebrate summer. Bikinis. Shrimp buffets (or whatever seafood she’s eating). Late-night DJ sets in some Italian coastal city. Great wine. Bottomless mimosas. Sun. Surf.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.
