Getty ImagesNo. 1 Star: Brent Seabrook, Chicago Blackhawks

Seabrook fired home the winner for the Blackhawks as his overtime goal gave them a 6-5 victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 4, evening the Stanley Cup Final 2-2. It was his second overtime goal of the playoffs, with the first coming in Game 7 against the Detroit Red Wings.

No. 2 Star: Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins

Continuing to make his case for the Conn Smythe Trophy, Bergeron scored a pair of goals that helped the Bruins tie the game at four early in the third period. The first of his two goals came on the power play and was the result of a deflected shot that went off the glass behind Corey Crawford, off the top of the net and right to Bergeron.

No. 3 Star: Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks

Reunited with Jonathan Toews, Kane (and Toews) woke up offensively with a goal and an assist. The goal was Kane's first of series, while Toews put home his first since Game 5 against the Detroit Red Wings in the second round.

Oh, this was unfortunate on Wednesday night in Austin, TX:

It was overtime in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night. The pressure was high. The next goal would either bury the Chicago Blackhawks in a 3-1 hole or give them new life in a 2-2 series against the Boston Bruins.

Viewers watching KXAN in Austin witnessed the Blackhawks cycle in the Bruins zone, tension mounting.

And then … they heard KXAN news anchor Sally Hernandez tell us that “you have to love what you do” in order to host a morning show. And that Amanda Dugan is your traffic guru. And then a commercial for Capital KIA and their giving-away-cars prices.

And then, after roughly 30 seconds of promos and ads, the station cut back to the game ... to see the Blackhawks celebrating Brent Seabrook’s game-winning goal in overtime.

Which KXAN missed.

But at least viewers now understand how lucky the morning news team is to work with one another.

KXAN issued an epic apology on its newscast after the game (via Awful Announcing). Ironically, it aired right around a feature story on hockey’s growing presence in Austin:

“Computer automation will bite ya sometimes.”

This is how it begins, the robot apocalypse; not with a rain of nuclear missiles triggered by SKYNET, but by a computer ruining Game 4 for hockey fans in Texas …

Well that was fun, wasn't it? After two tightly played games in the Stanley Cup Final, Game 4 was a sloppy, unpredictable ramble of an overtime game that featured 11 goals between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Boston Bruins.

And here they are ...

Brent Seabrook's goal at 9:51 of overtime was the game-winner in Chicago's 6-5 victory, to even the series at 2-2. Patrice Bergeron's power-play goal at 17:22 of the second period was the nuttiest. Johnny Boychuk's game-tying goal at 12:14 of the third might have been the most shocking.

Getty ImagesBOSTON -- When you get pucks to the net, good things usually happen. For Brent Seabrook, he did just that and helped the Chicago Blackhawks even the Stanley Cup Final with a 6-5 overtime victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 4.

The Blackhawks were desperate to get their offense going, so head coach Joel Quenneville put Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews together on his top line. The reunion worked as Chicago built up a 3-1 lead midway through the second period. (Game 4 was the first time Kane and Toews both scored in a playoff game since April 2010.) Then things got crazy.

Over the next 18 minutes of the game, the teams combined for six goals, including Patrice Bergeron's wacky off-the-top-of-the-net tally, and the game moved to overtime for the third time in the series.

In the extra frame, the Bruins were unable to clear the puck from their zone when Seabrook picked it up and fired it past Tuukka Rask:

"It's one of those things that we talked about all year, all playoffs is getting pucks to the net," Seabrook told NBC Sports afterward. "It just sort of found a way in."

The series now shifts back to Chicago for Game 5 on Saturday night and with the Blackhawks having re-discovered their offense and successfully scoring on a power play after firing blanks on 11 opportunities entering Wednesday night.

After the offensive struggles in their two losses, the Kane/Toews combination paid off in Game 4, making one wonder why they weren't put together before earlier.

"You always get second guessed," said Quenneville. "There's reasons why. At the same time, you know, I think we didn't mind the way we played the first game, first part of the second game. Game 3 we were disappointed with our offense. So we went to the well."

The Washington Nationals might or might not ever get their collective groove back this season. But this much we know: A foul ball by slugger Ryan Zimmerman is the scariest thing in Major League Baseball — even to a fan sitting behind home plate, supposedly well-protected by a net from flying objects.

Zimmerman made a fan wearing a Philadelphia Phillies shirt flinch at a screamer headed right his way Wednesday night, and the fan's reflex was so pronounced, he splashed beer on himself (and on two or three other fans nearby) from a bottle he held in his left hand.

Which reaction is more appropriate? "D'oh!" or "Hah-hahhh!"? Either way, as Zoo with Roy pointed out, the moment was worth Nats broadcaster F.P. Santangelo activating the Telestrator. He circled the fan, like Bert Blyleven or John Madden might have, and added this commentary:

What has to happen for two teams to combine for five goals in a period?

A little luck, for one thing. It helps when the bounces are incredibly conducive to goal-scoring, and we mean incredibly. Case in point: Patrice Bergeron's 4-3 goal, which was the direct result of one of the most fortuitous bounces we're bound to see in this Stanley Cup Final, as Zdeno Chara's wrist shot deflected high off the boards behind the goal, up onto the goal, and then down into the crease and right onto the stick of Bergeron.

Ever the opportunist, Bergeron didn't waste the freebie and finished the Rube Goldbergian play off by putting the puck into the goal. Thanks, hockey gods!

That was the wackiest moment in a truly wacky second period, where Game 4 between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Boston Bruins turned into an unexpected track meet

Really, it seemed less like the Stanley Cup Final we've been watching for the past week and more like a game between the Flyers and the Penguins.

After deciding to move forward with the case against three Navy football players yesterday, specific charges have been filed against the Midshipmen by the U.S. Naval Academy.

From the Associated Press:

The academy said in a news release that the male midshipmen are being charged with two violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. One involves rape, sexual assault or other sexual misconduct. The other is for making a false official statement.

The academy did not identify the three students, and it was not immediately clear if they have an attorney.

This ring comes with quite a story. First there's the one you know: The Cincinnati Reds won that World Series amid one of baseball's most famous scandals. Players from the Chicago White Sox were alleged to have thrown the series and afterward were banned from baseball.

Now the story you might not know: Back then most players didn't get World Series rings. They got World Series pins because rings were considered "effeminate." Reds manager Pat Moran, however, got a ring after the '19 series. According to the item description by Lelands, Moran's ring was given to a milkman in the manager's hometown after his death. Crazy, right?! Must have been some good milk.
