Tampa didn’t get off to the best start in the Stanley Cup Finals. The team met with Colorado and in the first match imposed a serious fight on their opponent, losing in overtime (3:4). In the return match the Lightning suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0:7. Quite unexpectedly, the team failed to show their attacking potential, making only 16 shots on target. Returning to the home arena, the Lightnings rehabilitated by easily beating the Avalanche (6:2). It is worth praising the entire first link, since almost every hockey player scored a productive action.
Serbia barely made it to the European Championship. In the last qualifying group, they scored seven points with Ukraine. The full-time match ended in a draw and the indicators of goals scored and goals conceded were the same. As a result, Serbia ended up in the Euro due to fewer yellow cards. The team was the favorite to face Israel in the first round. However, they had to fight back. As a result, in the third minute of injury time, the guys equalized the score to 2:2.
