During Game 3, at a certain point, Logan Stanley unleashed a dreadful open-ice hit upon Jordan Kyrou. As Kyrou skated through the neutral zone, Stanley stepped into his path and delivered a thunderous check that sent the Blues forward crashing to the ice.
Reacting live, a former NHL player said,
'Oh, that's a big hit. Stanley just killed somebody. Stanley just absolutely hammered that guy. Did he get off the ice? He must be taken to the med.'
The statement echoed the shock felt in the arena and across broadcasts.

Kyrou stayed down after the collision as trainers rushed in. He eventually skated off with help, heading straight to the locker room for evaluation. No penalty was called on the play, and Stanley remained on the ice, anchoring the Jets' blue line with a commanding presence.
The Blues appeared shaken after the hit. Their momentum slowed, and they failed to convert during a key power play minutes later. Winnipeg capitalized, controlling the tempo and ramping up physical play.
Montgomery: 'We Need to Find Another Level'

With the Jets taking a lead in the series, the Blues are looking for answers. Head coach Jim Montgomery admitted the need for change.
'The games are really close,'
Montgomery said.
'There's not much separation going on right now. We need to make a separation, we need to find another level when we go home so we can end up on top by a goal.'
St. Louis will need more scoring and better puck control, especially if Kyrou is unable to return. His absence leaves a gap in both speed and creativity for the Blues offense.

Defining Moment in the Series?
Stanley's hit may have shifted the tone of the series. As the action returns to St. Louis, expect the Blues to bring added intensity. The physical battle is now front and center, and emotions are likely to boil over in Game 4.
This moment could define the series. Whether Kyrou returns or not, the Blues will have to find another gear to stay in the fight.

RCB's bitter victory - The cost of celebration
Bengaluru: An aerial view of fans gathering for Royal Challengers Bengaluru�s fan engagement programme after the team won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, near M Chinnaswamy Stadium, in Bengaluru, Karnataka. (PTI Photo) (PTI06_04_2025_000476B) By Vinod Jacob, Urban strategist and general manager, Namma Bengaluru Foundation The finger-pointing began almost as soon as the news broke. On June 4, a devastating stampede outside M Chinnaswamy Stadium shattered what, less than 24 hours earlier, had been a moment of pure jubilation for Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans, celebrating their first IPL trophy win after eighteen agonising seasons. Eleven lives were claimed, and dozens were injured. The irony was palpable: a triumph long yearned for, now overshadowed by loss. Arrests were made. Officials suspended, followed by more resignations, ex gratia promises — and even calls for Virat Kohli's arrest — while the blame game raged on. But this isn't merely about individual culpability. This is about a systemic breakdown — a question of total administrative failure, especially when dealing with an event that touches the very core of India's cricket passion. For a nation where cricket borders on religion, any public gathering of this magnitude demands meticulous foresight. Was M Chinnaswamy Stadium, with its 35,000-seat capacity, ever truly suitable for a city-wide victory parade, particularly one made free after initially being a paid event? The answer, tragically, is no. The entire celebration should have been shifted to a venue, like the Palace Grounds, the BIEC, or a similar venue, offering proper entry/exit points and capacity for millions. The fact that RCB was headed to the finals had been known for a full week. This provided ample time for the responsible authorities to engage in comprehensive planning, coordinate with the police machinery, and anticipate the monumental public turnout. To now deflect blame onto an already overburdened police department, reeling from the previous night's unruly celebrations where citizens went berserk, pulling out barricades, seems not just unfair, but a convenient diversion from deeper administrative shortcomings. And why was there need for two locations? A single, well-planned convergence at one venue could have ensured effective crowd management, robust contingency plans, and, most critically, citizen safety. That safety aspect appears to have been completely disregarded. The stadium's own infrastructure is wanting – narrow, unramped gates with metal obstructions, utterly incapable of handling a rush, even for a normal game, let alone a historic celebration. Bengaluru has hosted large-scale gatherings before; surely lessons could have been learned from major shows that proceeded without incident. Other metros – Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai – have successfully orchestrated similar mass celebrations. Why, then, can Bengaluru, the supposed IT capital, not leverage technology for better crowd management, anticipating flows and ensuring security? A bus parade, like those seen elsewhere, would have been infinitely safer than directing millions to a fixed point of convergence. Unchecked chaos also inflicted damage on Cubbon Park. Trees, plants, and even birds' nests were destroyed due to the event's chaotic spillover — another terrible blow to Bengaluru's strained biodiversity, a particularly painful scar on the so-called 'Garden City'. Fans have every right to celebrate after an 18-year wait; they cannot be blamed for their exuberant outpouring. While citizens do bear some responsibility for failing to adhere to basic crowd control measures like queuing and respecting barricades, the primary culpability lies with the planning. The critical misallocation of manpower at free gates, with too few police for too many unmanned entry points and the added burden of VIP security, tragically sealed the fate for those eleven lives. The euphoria of victory has been drowned out by the cries of anguish. Bengaluru must now reflect, learn, and ensure that no triumph, no matter how sweet, is ever again marred by such preventable sorrow. The blame isn't diffused; it lies squarely with a system unprepared to manage its grand moments. What systemic changes will we truly implement to prevent history from tragically repeating itself ?

Bengaluru stampede: IPS officer challenges suspension order
Bengaluru: Suspended IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikash Monday moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), challenging the govt's order suspending him for dereliction of duty. Vikash is one of the five officers suspended. The suspension order, citing Rule 3(1)(a) of the All India Services (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1969, alleged that Vikash, along with other officers, failed to take adequate crowd-control and safety measures despite prior knowledge of the celebrations. However, it doesn't specify the exact role, negligence or wilful misconduct attributable to him. The order highlighted the fact there wasn't enough time to prepare for such a huge event, but was silent on how the tragedy could be attributed to Vikash and the other officers. The applicant stated in his application that he has been made a scapegoat. Retired officers' plea to CM Meanwhile, nearly 30 retired IPS officers have written to chief minister Siddaramaiah, urging him to revoke the suspension of senior police personnel over the June 4 stampede at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In their open letter, they stressed that punitive action should follow judicial inquiry, not precede it. The officers said the RCB management first announced the victory celebrations on social media, drawing lakhs of fans to the stadium within hours of the IPL final. The hasty celebrations were arranged due to travel plans of RCB's foreign and local players, the letter said. They noted that police had warned the organisers in writing about the risks of holding such a large event on short notice. Calling the suspension of police officers unjust, the letter stated they were made scapegoats while the real accountability lay with RCB, KSCA and the organisers.
