Aho's blast pushes Hurricanes past Devils 5-4 in double OT to advance in Stanley Cup Playoffs
RALEIGH, N.C. — Sebastian Aho hammered a one-timer past Jacob Markstrom at 4:17 of the second overtime to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New Jersey Devils 5-4 on Tuesday night to clinch their first-round playoff series.
The score came with the Hurricanes on a four-minute power play on a double-minor high-sticking penalty by Dawson Mercer that sent Jesperi Kotkaniemi skating off to the tunnel with a towel to his face. Aho provided the capper, the only lead the Hurricanes would have in a wild game that pushed them into the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
They'll next play the winner of the Montreal-Washington series, with the Capitals leading 3-1 in that one.
Carolina won this game despite falling behind 3-0 in the first 10 minutes.

MLS proposes new Club World Cup prize money payout deemed ‘retaliatory' by players' union

Photograph:Major League Soccer has submitted a new proposal to its players concerning how bonuses for the Club World Cup will be paid out to the players on clubs participating in the tournament, according to a source familiar with negotiations between the parties who spoke to the Guardian and other outlets on the condition of anonymity to protect their relationships within the game. The MLS Players' Association, the union representing MLS players, later confirmed they had received a proposal. According to the source, the league's offer would see players earn 20% of a team's performance-based prize money at each stage of the tournament with no agreed-upon cap on maximum payout. This means each group of MLS players competing in the tournament would collectively receive $200,000 for a group stage win (from a total prize of $1m), $400,000 for a group stage win (from a total prize of $2m per team, per win), $1.5m for making the Round of 16 (from a total prize of $7.5m) and so on. Advertisement The players' current bonus structure, outlined in the MLSPA's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the league, allows MLS players to receive half of any prize or participation money awarded to a team participating in an outside tournament, but with a hard cap of $1m. With the Club World Cup's $9.5m participation prize given to MLS teams, players had already maxed out their maximum payout and would have not been entitled to any more money for progress in the tournament. Related: Cristiano Ronaldo will not play at Club World Cup despite 'plenty of invitations' Under the proposed terms, in the unlikely event an MLS team wins the Club World Cup, players on that team would be entitled to split a prize pool that would total up to $23.9m. In their own statement, the MLSPA confirmed that the proposal had been delivered but said that the 20% payout is 'below the international standard,' and also said that the league has attempted to 'strong-arm' the players into CBA waivers that do not regard the Club World Cup. Advertisement The prize money structure was the subject of protest by the Seattle Sounders last weekend, with the squad wearing T-shirts in the warmup reading 'Club World Cup Cash Grab.' The MLSPA later said in a statement that the league had 'failed to bring forward a reasonable proposal.' The source said that MLS had originally planned to propose the 20% arrangement on the following Monday, but then elected to delay delivering the proposal until Friday. The Club World Cup kicks off on 16 June in cities across the United States. The Seattle Sounders, Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC are the three MLS clubs participating in the tournament.

President Trump to golf with SEC commish, Notre Dame AD as college leaders seek federal help
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua were scheduled to play golf with President Donald Trump at his course in New Jersey on Sunday as college sports leaders continue to look to the federal government for support. Two people briefed on the meeting confirmed the president's plans to The Athletic, speaking on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to speak publicly. Yahoo! Sports first reported about the golf outing. Advertisement Sankey is the longest tenured power conference commissioner and a longtime policy shaper at the NCAA and national level. Bevacqua leads the athletic department of one of the most prominent schools in college sports. The former television executive was previously the CEO of the PGA of America and has a prior relationship with the president going back to the days before he became a politician; the tour regularly played tournaments at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. The meeting comes two days after a federal judge approved a $2.8 billion antitrust lawsuit settlement that will pave the way for colleges and universities to directly pay their athletes for the first time. But the rules and regulations laid out in the terms of the agreement are still vulnerable to legal and political attacks. College sports leaders have been lobbying lawmakers on Capitol Hill for legislation to pre-empt myriad state laws that have created a patchwork of rules regarding athlete compensation, address athletes' employment status and provide some antitrust protection for the NCAA and its conferences. Now with the settlement of House v. NCAA in place, lawmakers have a structure to build upon — if they can come to agreement on a bill. Trump has indicated he would like to help facilitate a federal solution for college sports, possibly with an executive order. Plans were in the works for a presidential commission on college sports led by billionaire businessman Cody Campbell, a prominent Texas Tech booster, and former Alabama coach Nick Saban. The commission is currently on hold as lawmakers in the Senate, led by Republican Ted Cruz of Texas and Democrat Cory Booker of New Jersey, work on what they hope will be a bipartisan bill. Another hearing on college sports and how athletes are compensated for name, image and likeness is scheduled for later this week in the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
