Why Florida Panthers are 'another animal' compared to Hurricanes
Former NHLer Riley Cote explains that while he sees the Carolina Hurricanes as a strong, consistent team -- the Florida Panthers are 'just a different animal.'
Sports Seriously
Can the Florida Panthers complete the sweep and advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the third consecutive year?
They will try to close out what has been, to this point, a one-sided Eastern Conference finals at home Monday night in Game 4 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
It hasn't been much of a series so far, with Florida outscoring the Hurricanes 16-4 over three games. But there is some hope for Carolina: Four NHL teams have won series after falling into 3-0 deficits. Their opponent nearly became the fifth team to squander a 3-0 lead in last year's Stanley Cup Final, but the Panthers fought off the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7.
Working against a Hurricanes comeback: they have lost 15 consecutive games in the conference finals.
USA TODAY is providing live updates for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes. Follow along:
The Hurricanes, trying to stave off elimination, have another strong period, outshoot the Panthers 12-5. Carolina is getting good breakout and zone entries. They also get their first lead of the series when Alexander Nikishin finds Logan Stankoven as the Panthers were caught with five men on the same side of the ice. Sergei Bobrovsky is keeping Florida in the game with 22 saves, including back-to-back-to-back opportunities in the second period.
Brent Burns off for cross-checking. Panthers need to get something here. Carolina kills the first part, but 11 seconds will remain in the third period.
Nice pass from Alexander Nikishin. Nicer goal by Logan Stankoven, who rips a high shot past Sergei Bobrovsky. It's the Hurricanes' first lead of the series. Hurricanes 1, Panthers 0
Jordan Staal hooks Florida's Matthew Tkachuk, who's called for embellishment. Carolina outshooting Florida 5-0 in the period so far.
Seth Jones goes for hooking Sebastien Aho. Hurricanes get one shot, but Panthers kill it off.
No score in the first period for the first time this series. Frederik Andersen was solid in his return to the Hurricanes' net, though he wasn't really tested.
Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour had called out much of his team's effort in Game 3. He got a better effort in Game 4. Carolina leads in shots 11-7 with Sebastien Aho, Andrei Svechnikov and Jackson Blake each getting two. They also have 22 hits though 20 minutes after not having more than 50 for the entire game in the first three games.
Jackson Blake picks up his second penalty of the game for slashing Nate Schmidt. But Schmidt negates that for roughing Blake. Penalties expire.
Jackson Blake goes off for slashing. Hurricanes kill it off, allowing one shot.
He has stopped all three shots he faced, including an Aaron Ekblad shot that deflected off a Hurricanes defender.

Miami Marlins join efforts to restore defaced Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso mural
MIAMI — The Miami Marlins are joining efforts to restore the defaced mural of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, which was marked with racist graffiti last week. City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King announced Wednesday that she along with the Marlins, Urgent, Inc., Omni Community Redevelopment Agency, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency and other community activists will lead the restoration at Dorsey Park, where community leaders said a 7-year-old boy first discovered the vandalism last Sunday and asked his mother what the words and the Nazi symbols meant.

Saints receiver Chris Olave brushes off concussion concerns and laughs off trade talk
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Chris Olave, the New Orleans Saints leading receiver in two of his first three seasons, wanted to make two things clear. He is not concerned about the long-term implications of repeated concussions and sees himself spending his entire career with New Orleans. Olave has been a full participant in non-contact, offseason practices and this week's mandatory minicamp, but has not played in an NFL game since last Nov. 3. That was the day he was leveled by Panthers safety Xavier Woods during a downfield route across the middle of the field. Olave remained in a prone position on the field for several minutes, after which he was taken from the stadium to a Charlotte hospital. While he was permitted to return to practice in December, he never returned to the lineup. 'It was tough, man, at first.; I ain't never really sat out that long,' Olave said after practice on Wednesday. 'That was really my first major injury. ... Just not being able to go and practice and go to meetings with my guys was the worst part, but I feel like I'm ready. I was training and lifting and everything in December. So, I feel like I'm good.' Olave has had at least four confirmed concussions in his first three seasons. The first occurred when he was a rookie in 2022 during an Oct. 9 game against Seattle. He missed just the following game and finished the season with team highs of 72 catches for 1,042 yards. During the 2023 season, he did not miss a game after a Week 12 concussion against Atlanta and finished that season with team highs of 87 catches and 1,123 yards receiving. Last season, however, he missed nine games because of two concussions. He sat out just one game after his first against Tampa Bay on Oct. 13 before the Nov. 3 one in Carolina ended his third NFL season. Olave consulted with specialists after the most recent head injury. 'They said I was OK back in December when they cleared me. It was just unlucky situations I was being put in,' Olave said. 'God's got me at the end of the day. I'm not worried about nothing. So, just got to go out there 100% and be ready.' Saints rookie coach Kellen Moore, hired in February after winning a Super Bowl with Philadelphia as the Eagles' offensive coordinator, has largely brushed aside questions about Olave's concussion history. 'I don't worry too much about that,' Moore said. 'We feel really really good about Chris. He's had an excellent offseason, an excellent career so far and (has) an excellent future. 'We feel like we've got a good one in him,' Moore added. So, apparently, do some other teams who've reportedly asked the Saints about their willingness to trade Olave as New Orleans rebuilds from a five-win 2024 season. The Saints also have lacked a proven quarterback since veteran Derek Carr's sudden retirement in May. All three of New Orleans current QBs have less than three season of experience and not a single NFL win. But Olave expressed optimism about those young QBs — rookie Tyler Shough, second-year pro Spencer Rattler and third-year pro Jake Haener. 'The young QBs are good,' Olave said. 'I don't think they're going to come in and have hiccups. I feel like they got a good head on their shoulders. They got a good IQ. They're ready to play NFL ball. So, I'm excited.' Olave also laughed off reports that he's the subject of trade offers. 'It's all rumors, man,' Olave said. 'In the offseason, everybody's trying to have something for clicks. So, I love it here. I love the front office. I love my coaches. I'm excited to be here and I want to be here forever.' ___ AP NFL:

Thunder vs. Pacers: Live updates, highlights from Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals
The Oklahoma City Thunder-Indiana Pacers 2025 NBA Finals series is headed to Indianapolis for Games 3 and 4 of the series, currently tied 1-1. Game 3 is set for Wednesday, June 11 at 8:30 p.m. ET from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This year's NBA MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, & Co. are looking to build off a dominant Game 2 performance over the Pacers, besting Indy 123-107 after falling short in their first meeting. Advertisement Through two games in the series, SGA is averaging a whopping 46 points per game, including 5 rebounds and 5.5 assists, well out-performing Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, who totaled just 31 points combined over two outings to SGA's 72. Still, there's no doubt that the Pacers wouldn't have been in a position for a tied series at this point without his stunning game-winning 3-pointer in Game 1. Haliburton has, no doubt, been the magic that's fueled the Pacers' miraculous postseason and kept them in it. He's shot a ridiculous 13-of-15 on shots to tie or take a lead in the last two minutes of a game this postseason, per ClutchPoints — precisely the reason he's earned his new nickname of "The Moment." One team will be a step closer to the NBA championship with a win Wednesday night. We'll soon find out which one. Date: Wednesday, June 11 Advertisement Time: 8:30 p.m. ET Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse | Indianapolis, Indiana TV channel: ABC Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from Thunder-Pacers in Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals:
