The Bruins are about to endure one of the most painful offseasons in recent memory, one that will prove a harsh reminder of just how much it takes to win in professional sports.Boston fell flat on its face in its first-round Stanley Cup playoff series, suffering a Game 7 loss Sunday night to the Florida Panthers, ending the season in its tracks.

The Golden State Warriors played in one of the more entertaining first round series that we've seen in recent memory.They were pushed to seven games by the upstart Sacramento Kings, and tickets for that series were a hot commodity.Those who were willing to pay the price were not disappointed.The city of Sacramento hadn't hosted an NBA playoff game in 17 years, and fans were eager to be in the building to see their team compete.

The Boston Bruins were far and away the best team in the NHL this season, and were actually the best historically, too.Their 65 wins and 135 points were both the highest marks in league history, and they entered the postseason as the obvious favorite to win the championship.But the Stanley Cup Playoffs are some of the most unpredictable in sports, and that proved to be true in Boston's first round series against the Florida Panthers.

Professional Sports often don't feel like reality.In good and bad ways.Good, because we all get a moment to give a shit [or not give a shit] about something that doesn't really mean anything at all.Bad, because there's a divide.Something artificially separating us from them.A code, a story, another language.

Those of a certain age will remember, and possibly even recall snogging to, Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale, a song that sold 10m copies and became one of the bestselling singles of all time.Maybe it still lurks in our subconscious when we think about rose, because there seems no other rational explanation for the unaccountable attachment we now have to its palest iteration, which more closely resembles a white wine than a pink one.

Julio Urias has struggled over his last two outings this season.After getting off to a hot start, sporting a 1.90 ERA through his first four starts, he's had two of his worst starts in recent memory.After allowing five earned runs on seven hits in 3.1 innings against the Cubs on Friday, Urias was back on the mound on Thursday against the Pirates hoping to get back on track.

For the third consecutive season, the Norris Trophy is the only major NHL award that is still up for debate.Connor McDavid should be skating away with the Hart unanimously, Patrice Bergeron, Linus Ullmark and Jim Montgomery will be carrying the Selke, Vezina and Jack Adams, respectively, back to Boston, while Matty Beniers is the clear frontrunner for the Calder.

A few players have been tossed around as the number one striker target for Bayern Munich.The prominent names that were being lobbied are Victor Osimhen from Napoli and Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt.It looks like the Bavarians are leaning towards the latter:

Randal Kolo Muani is the new favourite internally to be Bayern's new striker.

If there's one key to succeeding as the coach of Bayern Munich, it is to play Thomas Müller.The 33-year-old offensive player is the heart of the team and is arguably the most important player that Bayern has.Orchestrating attacks, exploiting spaces, passing to teammates, going for goal himself, he can do it all.
