Though he got called for roughing here, Shaw was the one who got roughed up earlier, taking a puck to the face. But as is typical of hockey players, he got stitched up and was back out on the ice in no time.

Durant and Ty Lawson were teammates at Oak Hill Academy, where they were both McDonald’s All-Americans.

In a big “what if?” situation, the two could have started a dynasty at UNC. The Tar Heels made it to the Elite Eight in 2007. They made it to the Final Four the next year. And Lawson and the Tar Heels finally won a National Championship in 2009.

Would they have won three in a row with the addition of the offensive mastermind that is Kevin Durant? We will never know.

Durant received 90 out of 125 first-place votes from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Atlanta’s Al Horford finished in 2nd place, and Houston’s Luis Scola finished 3rd.

Not a bad deal for someone who hadn’t even played a minute of professional ball yet. (LeBron’s contract was seven-years, $90 million).

Too bad Durant wasn’t signed with Roc Nation back then. Jay could have taught him how to hold out for more.

The Oscar Robertson Trophy is awarded by the United States Basketball Writers Association to the most outstanding NCAA men’s basketball player.

The Adolph F. Rupp trophy is awarded by an independent panel of sportswriters, coaches, and sports administrators to the nation’s top NCAA Division I men’s basketball player.

With his spectacular shooting performance in 2013, Durant joined the very exclusive group. He is among great company: Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash, and Dirk Nowitzki.

During these three seasons, Durant averaged 30.1, 27.7, and 28.0 points per game, respectively. He almost won the award again this year, but was narrowly beaten by Carmelo Anthony by .6 points per game.

The first goal of the series was scored by Boston’s Milan Lucic, courtesy of a great cross-ice feed from Horton. This would be the first of MANY shots to beat Crawford glove-side throughout the series.

Lucic struck again early in the second period off a drop pass from Krejci, giving the Bruins a 2-0 lead.

Chicago’s first goal of the series came on a nice one-timer from Saad over Rask’s left shoulder. Hossa created the scoring opportunity with a slick pass through a defender’s legs.
