LAst Night's Action: Ducks Outlast Canucks

Naptime!Ducks 2, Canucks 1, 2OT - The Ducks won the series in five games but it felt more like six. Vancouver pushed Anaheim to overtime in three of the games, two of those going into double OT. The final game featured a jaw dropping 63 shots by the Ducks, who only faced 27 in return. Roberto Luongo had 56 saves for Vancouver for a 96.6% save percentage. Five shots were blocked by Dany Sabourin who filled in when Luongo had equipment problems. When you face that much action, something is bound to break.

Royals 5, Angels 2 - Anaheim wasn't just looking to break even in Kansas City, but that's all they could manage. The Royals salvaged a split after dropping the first two games to the West's top team. Vladimir Guerrero's hot streak continued with another first inning homer, but the next 17 batters couldn't find their way on base. Reggie Willits eventually found his way on base in the ninth, extending his hit streak to ten games.

Elsewhere - The Dodgers are auctioning the game-worn jerseys from all players who rocked #42 on Jackie Robinson Day. And yes, all the proceeds will go to charity ... The big fight is on Saturday. Mayweather is a 2-to-1 favorite in Vegas, but a lot of experts are picking De La Hoya because of his experience and natural size (5'-11" compared to 5'- 8.75"). All we know is that the largest either of these guys has ever been is 154 pounds. What's up with these weight classes, anyway? ... The Hoff isn't the only one struggling with beer ... College basketball scores are about to get lower ... Tom Brady pulls a David Beckham. Why can't the ladies-men pick the rick baseball cap?
