Vegas needs just four more wins to eclipse the record of 33, which was set by both the Anaheim Ducks and Florida Panthers in the 1993-94 season. With 38 games left to play, the Golden Knights will almost surely be the most successful expansion team in league history, but the bigger question that remains is whether or not they are legitimate Stanley Cup contenders. Vegas quieted its doubters again Thursday, as James Neal scored just 56 seconds into the first period and the Golden Knights never looked back in a battle between the NHL’s top two teams....

Defending champion Sterne beat runner-up Schwartzel by seven strokes at the European Tour tournament last year to take victory for the second time after winning a play-off in 2008. That triumph denied Schwartzel a third win in four years following his successes in 2010 and 2011 and compatriot Branden Grace's win in 2012. Only two non-South Africans have won the competition in its seven-year history, with Argentina's Ariel Canete winning the inaugural event in 2007 and Dane Anders Hansen emerging victorious in 2009....

"Just normal," Ko said. "I didn't feel too odd or special or slow or whatever today. That actually surprised me. I thought I would be much more nervous. And actually, one of the good things was I wasn't thinking about any money or related stuff. I just tried to play my game, which was obviously very helpful." It was a slow start and a strong finish, quite the opposite of Sandra Gal, who made six birdies on the opening six holes and wound up with an 8-under 64....

Heading into last weekend’s tournament at New Orleans, five of the past six final round PGA Tour telecasts had double-digit increases in viewership. Four of those five increased by more than a third — by 35 percent for the Tampa Bay Championship, 34 percent for the Bay Hill Invitational, 42 percent for the Houston Open, and a whopping 77 percent for the Heritage. The viewership gains have been accompanied by multi-year ratings highs....

Crandall averaged 16.6 points and 3.6 assists for the Fighting Hawks last season who struggled to a 12-20 record and eighth place finish in the Big Sky Conference.

Google Doodles often change the classic Google logo to incorporate a historical figure or special occasion relating to a specific date. The Google image for Friday, June 17 features a pairing of Aldridge with a doodle of musical treble clefs on either side.

Indians–let alone Indian girls–don’t play on English soccer teams. It’s a scenario found only in dreams, and in Britain’s unlikely, irresistible indie hit “Bend It Like Beckham.” The movie, which was directed by Gurinder Chadha, is the story of 18-year-old Jess (Parminder Nagra), a tomboy who wants to play soccer but is forbidden by her Sikh parents. Jess dodges finger-wagging, sari-clad mums and leering British boys. She befriends a blond London girl named Jules (Keira Knightley), who’s bent on bolting to America because her homeland doesn’t have a pro team for women....

The lawsuit is a challenge to Act 77, which was signed by Governor Tom Wolf last year and passed through a GOP-controlled legislature (the Associated Press reported that only two “no” votes were from Republican members). The legislation provided Pennsylvanians the option to vote by mail up to 50 days before an election without providing an excuse, as was previously required for voters using absentee ballots. It also eliminated straight-party ticket voting and moved voter registration dates closer to Election Day....

It’s common knowledge that dogs love nothing more than going for a dip in a muddy puddle. What’s less commonly known are the reasons for this behavior. According to the dog walking experts over at Wag Walking, it can often be down to the fact the dog is “overheating.” “On a hot and humid summer day, some cool wet mud can just hit the spot,” the website said. “The moisture and cooler temperatures can help your dog cool off....

The Warriors have had an incredible 5-year run, winning 3 NBA titles, 2 Western Conference titles and have given the fans infinite memories to cherish for the rest of their lives. With Kevin Durant rupturing his right Achilles tendon and Klay Thompson tearing his ACL, the future of this Warriors team is uncertain at this point in time and this year’s off-season is expected to be wild. While the Warriors failed in their quest for a three-peat, they definitely had a great season and no one can take that away from them....

“I just can’t believe I did that,” he said afterward. “I am such an idiot.” LEADERBOARDS: PGA | LPGA | Rory McIlroy and model Ashley Bongiovanni The worst collapse of Mickelson’s career was complete.

Golovkin (41-1-1) had not fought since October last year, when he stopped Sergiy Derevyanchenko by unanimous decision in New York, but the Kazakh star had no trouble in his record-setting title defense — a seventh-round TKO over the previously unbeaten Szeremeta (21-1) in Hollywood, Fla., and live on DAZN. Golovkin, whose second-round knockout of Vanes Martirosyan in May 2018 saw him equal Bernard Hopkins’ middleweight record of 20 consecutive defenses before that run and his undefeated streak was ended by Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in September of that year, was in control from the outset....

In fact, the new world order in computer chips has been around for a while. Large joint ventures between bitter rivals in semiconductors have existed since 1987. But both the AMD deal and, on the same day, IBM’s announced $1 billion alliance with Toshiba and Siemens to design and build powerful new memory chips (use to store data in computers) made it clear that huge crossborder strategic tie-ups are no passing fancy....

Washington has two headline names, of course, with former No. 1 picks Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg, but neither is a huge reason for the club’s success in 2014. Harper is seventh among Nationals position players in wins above replacement, by baseball-reference.com’s calculation of the stat, while Strasburg has the starting rotation’s second-highest earned run average, at 3.46. Strasburg, Doug Fister, Gio Gonzalez, Tanner Roark, and All-Star Jordan Zimmermann comprise one of only two rotations in baseball with five pitchers who have made 20 or more starts with an ERA of 4....

If this sounds somewhat familiar to anyone, then they must be Google doodle fanatics. As it happens, this is actually a continuation of a story that began on Halloween in 2016.
