Pair of Bruins having strong showing at World Championship
Elias Lindholm has carried his strong play from the end of the 2024-25 Bruins season into the World Championship.
The center is tied for first in points with 10 and goals with six through in six games. Lindholm helped Team Sweden to a 4-0 win over Slovenia with a natural hat trick.

Lindholm, who signed a seven-year deal with the Bruins last offseason, got off to a slow start in his first year in Boston. He revealed during the team's end-of-season media availability that a back injury hindered him throughout the campaign before he amassed 15 points in Boston's final 16 games.
David Pastrnak is also having a strong showing at the tournament. Representing Czechia, the Bruins forward has four goals and six assists in five games.
Despite a trying season for the Bruins, Pastrnak was a bright spot for the team with 43 goals and 63 assists in 82 games. Aside from the offense, Pastrnak also took on a bigger leadership role after Brad Marchand was traded to the Florida Panthers during the NHL trade deadline.
Jeremy Swayman, however, isn't having the same kind of success for Team USA. While he has a 1.95 goals-against average, Swayman's save percentage is .875 and has given up six goals in three games — including five goals on 18 shots against Norway.

Mason Lohrei has three points in five games and is a plus-4 for the Americans, while Andrew Peeke has an assist in six games.

Reggie Miller's Reaction To Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winner Against Thunder Goes Viral
Reggie Miller's Reaction To Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winner Against Thunder Goes Viral originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Tyrese Haliburton sent the basketball world into a frenzy by hitting the game-winner for the Indiana Pacers against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Pacers icon Reggie Miller was watching the action unfold from his house with his family, and he shared their reaction to the game-winner on Instagram. Advertisement "I think this was all of Pacers Nation at the closing of Game 1!!! Well done, Tyrese Haliburton." That might have been the reaction for a majority of the neutrals following the game as well. It was a magical moment on the biggest stage by a player who is making a habit of hitting big shots in the playoffs. Haliburton has now made four go-ahead or game-tying shots in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime in this postseason. This fourth one was a long two-pointer over Thunder guard Cason Wallace that put the Pacers up 111-110 with 0.3 seconds remaining. It was their first lead of the night and would be the final score as well. Advertisement Prior to this, Haliburton had made the game-tying buzzer-beater at the end of regulation against the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Miller was calling that game for TNT at Madison Square Garden, and Haliburton decided to pay tribute by recreating his iconic choke celebration after that shot. Haliburton thought he had won the game with a three-pointer, but realized later that his toe was on the line. The Pacers would go on to win in overtime, to spare his blushes. Miller certainly was a happy man that night, and he probably wishes he was calling the Finals as well. Getting to watch the games with his family and having moments like this is quite special, too, though. For his career, Haliburton has now made five go-ahead or game-tying shots in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime in the playoffs. That is tied with Miller for the second-most since the 1997 playoffs, with only LeBron James (eight) ahead of them. Advertisement It's safe to say that the Pacers have found their heir apparent to Miller. It will be interesting to see if Haliburton can pull off what Miller couldn't, which is to win the title. Miller led the Pacers to the 2000 NBA Finals, where they took on a Los Angeles Lakers team led by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. They battled hard in that series but would ultimately lose in six games. Haliburton's Pacers have already done something that Miller's didn't. That team had fallen down 2-0 to the Lakers and never led in the series, while this one is up 1-0. Belief is growing among fans that this could be the year that they finally win their first NBA title. Miller and his family's reaction to this win isn't the only one that has gone viral. A clip of fans at Indianapolis International Airport going wild after Haliburton's shot spread like wildfire on social media. Sports can bring people together in a way that few things can. Seeing all these strangers celebrating together was quite special. They'd be hoping to celebrate again when the Pacers take on the Thunder in Game 2 at Paycom Center on Sunday at 8 PM ET.

Flamengo announce Jorginho as new signing
Flamengo have announced the signing of midfielder Jorginho, following confirmation from Arsenal that his contract has been ended by mutual consent with immediate effect. The 33-year-old, who represents Italy internationally but was born and brought up in Brazil, has now officially joined Flamengo on a three-year deal. Advertisement Jorginho made the move to Arsenal from Chelsea in January 2023 and quickly became a useful part of Mikel Arteta's squad. He featured 79 times for the Gunners and chipped in with two goals. Although he didn't always start, his leadership and experience were highly valued - so much so that he captained the side on several occasions. He arrives at Flamengo just in time for the expanded 32-team Club World Cup in the U.S. this year, where they'll be up against ES Tunis, LAFC, and Chelsea in the group stage.
