Lanny McDonald brings Stanley Cup to Calgary police officer who helped save his life
CALGARY — Former Calgary Flames co-captain and Hockey Hall of Famer Lanny McDonald surprised a city police officer who helped save his life earlier this year by paying him a visit with the Stanley Cup in tow. Const. Jose Cives performed chest compressions on McDonald at Calgary's airport in early February after the 71-year-old collapsed while returning from the NHL's all-star game in Toronto. Cives had no idea that McDonald, who played with the team during its 1989 Stanley Cup win, was coming to

Oilers expect Stars to push back in Game 6 of Western Conference final
EDMONTON — In Friday’s Western Conference final Game 5 win in Dallas, the Edmonton Oilers played probably their most complete game of the entire season. They held the Stars to just 10 shots through the first two periods and won 3-1. It never looked like the game was in jeopardy. With the chance to close to set a date with the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup final, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch believes his team will have to step up their efforts even more. What was good enough Friday in Dallas
Rangers leave disappointed after Presidents’ Trophy curse hits them in East final
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — When it was over, Vincent Trocheck wrapped his arms around goaltender Igor Shesterkin. Mika Zibanejad took a knee along the boards, watching Florida celebrate. Some other members of the New York Rangers stared blankly, just waiting for the handshake line to form. The best team in the regular season isn't going to the Stanley Cup Final — again.
