Watercooler Chat: NBA, NHL PLAYOFFS AND THE TRIPLE CROWN!
Quite a weekend in sports. A few series came to an end, and a new streak began.

Kobe
Bryant and the Lakers finally finished off the pesky Utah Jazz in 6
games. Now -- they await the winner of the New Orleans/San Antonio
series, which concludes tonight in what will surely be an historic game
7.
And there's more: This one... on the rink. The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, and advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals. They did this behind their young all-star, Sidney Crosby, who many consider to be the best player in the league. More importantly, in the past few seasons the Penguins had become an almost forgotten franchise. Now, they are headed to the Finals, and are just four games away from completely reclaiming the sport.
Finally
, a new streak began
this week as Big Brown, the
Kentucky Derby champion, won The Preakness
in Baltimore. Now he has won two of the three triple-crown events,
and will go for the third and final leg at the Belmont Stakes in three
weeks. While it may only seem like a race to some, winning all three
major events is LEGENDARY and the amount of money involved in
just a 2 minute race is simply astounding. Winning the Belmont stakes
and completing the trifecta would launch Big Brown into the halls of
sporting masterpieces. The last horse to win the Famed Triple Crown was
Affirmed in 1978. So, question is... can you wish a horse luck?FOR MORE ON FEMALE FAN, COME VISIT US AT WWW.FEMALEFAN.COM
