In the Stanley Cup Final, the Carolina Hurricanes are turning to Brandon Bussi between the pipes for Game five. The young netminder is expected to get the start as Carolina fights to stay alive, and the pressure couldn't be heavier — this is championship hockey, and Bussi is being asked to carry it.
Shifting to the hardwood, Victor Wembanyama's rough night in New York didn't end when the final buzzer sounded. After the game, Wemby returned to his hotel only to be met by a crowd of Knicks fans throwing boos — and apparently at least one egg — in his direction. It's an ugly scene that raises real questions about fan conduct and where the line gets drawn.
And in Denver, the Broncos made it official — Sean Payton is staying put. The team locked up their head coach on a new five-year deal running through two thousand thirty. After turning the franchise around and putting Denver back in the conversation, Payton earned every dollar, and ownership clearly isn't taking any chances on losing him.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
