Stanley Cup Live Stream

Last season the NHL rushed the start of the finals after the Red Wings and Penguins swept their opponents. This led to a controversial decision of holding back to back finals games to start the series. This year, the NHL may opt to take a little more time, though it may not matter.

The Sharks were not able to come back from a 3-0 deficit, and instead were swept by the Blackhawks yesterday in their home rink. Regardless of the outcome of the Flyers series, the Stanley Cup Finals will be playing their first game in Chicago. Chicago’s record is better than both the Flyers and the Canadians,

Chicago Blackhawks won the Western Conference Finals with the fantastic play of Dustin Byfuglien. He scored a powerplay goal just seven seconds to left on in the third period as Chicago rallied to beat the top-seeded Sharks in their Western Conference series.

The Stanley Cup finals between the Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers will begin Saturday, May 29 at 7 p.m. at the United Center. All times Central.

Jones Beach

Thousands of people gather around Jones Beach in Wantagh, New York (Long Island) for the Jones Beach Air Show 2010.

Parking lots at Jones Beach were overflowing with a crowd of nearly 150,000 as the aircrafts showcase their exhibition on the clear skies of New York.

Lt. Col. John Klatt of the Air National Guard is one of those who perform death-defying stunts in the sky. “I’ve always enjoyed airplanes,” says Klatt, who began flying at 17. “My dad used to take me to air shows as a kid and I was always excited about it.”

People were so enthusiastic about what they’re watching. Some were a bit nervous and scared, “One particular aircraft looked like it was going to fall, but I’m glad it’s not me up there, I’d have a head ache and a stomach ache,” said Sara Morrison, a beachgoer.

The Jones Beach Air Show is part of the celebration of Memorial Day. This is one way of remembering and honoring the military and the veterans who have given America their service.
