The (Late) Morning Roundup: Masters and playoffs
Phil Mickelson wins his third Masters, the first round of the Stanley Cups playoffs is on its way and BC rules the college hockey world.
- In a week when it was all Tiger, all the time, someone else actually won the Masters. Phil Mickelson won his third Masters by three strokes over Lee Westwood. Tiger Woods finished fourth. I’m not sure what kind of story it would have been – good? bad? – if Woods had won. But it’s a much better one with Mickelson winning.
- The NHL ended its regular season on Sunday and the field is set for the Stanley Cup playoffs, which begin on Wednesday. Bruins fans have to be happy with the team’s first-round matchup with the Sabres. Boston won the season series with Buffalo, 4-2, and goalie Tuukka Rask has been lights out against the Sabres this year.
- Boston College won its fourth national championship in men’s ice hockey, defeating Wisconsin 5-0 on Saturday. Apparently this title is sweeter because a lot of these players are from New England.
- The Jets got a little bit better Sunday night, when they reportedly agreed to send a fifth-round pick to the Steelers for Santonio Holmes. The move comes with some risk for the Jets, as Holmes is expected to be suspended for part of 2010 and he’ll be a free agent after the season. But it sounds like it was better than nothing for the Steelers.
