Disbelieve it: Canadiens eliminate Pens, 5-2

First the Capitals, now the Penguins. The Canadiens, the worst-record team in the playoffs, keep sending home the NHL's best. Brian Gionta had two power-play goals, Mike Cammalleri scored his seventh goal of a series in which he upstaged Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and Montreal built a stunning four-goal lead before beating the Penguins 5-2 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday night.

Rondo has 19 assists, Celtics tie series with Cavs

LeBron James better make sure his new MVP trophy isn't missing. The Boston Celtics stole everything else....

I'm rooting for Boston since I'm a Kevin Garnett fan.
