The North Carolina Tar Heels beat the Old Dominion Monarchs by a final score of 80-20.That's right, 80-20.MORE: || | North Carolina, a team that gave James Worthy Jersey up 55 points to East Carolina, scored 11 touchdowns on Saturday. The 80 points scored was the most by any FBS-level team all season. The beatdown was so bad that the North Carolina and Old Dominion coaches agreed to shorten the clock in the fourth quarter from 15 minutes to ten minutes.The Tar Heels finished with a school record 721 yards of total offense. Eight Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jersey of their touchdowns came on plays of 27 yards or longer. Five of the touchdowns came on plays of 56 yards or longer. Quarterback Marquise Williams pa sed for 409 yards and five touchdowns.Now, granted Old Dominion is in Nick Young Jersey its first season as a FBS-level program, but the Monarchs are 8-5 and quarterback Taylor Heinicke has thrown for 3,892 yards and 42 touchdowns this season.But this is not the first time a team has shellacked an inferior opponent and it won't be the last. The only other instance of a shortened fourth quarter due to a competitive disadvantage came in September, when Miami (Fla.) led Savannah State 77-7. The two teams agreed to use a running clock for the final quarter.What's interesting is that No. 2 Florida State, a team that has won five games by at least 48 points, has not implemented a shortened fourth quarter Byron Scott Jersey at all this season. Heading into the fourth quarter of the five games Florida State won by 48 points or more, they led 48-7, 54-6, 42-0, 52-0, and 59-0. One of those games came against Bethune-Cookman, an FCS-level program.We would Dennis Rodman Jersey expect this result from Florida State, probably Baylor and Oregon.But North Carolina?They probably didn't expect it either.

TAMPA, Fla. Down one goal, Montreal battled back twice. Up one, it faltered twice. Dale Weise then Bill Ranford Jersey put the Tampa Bay Lightning away for the night.Weise scored 18:08 into overtime and Carey Price stopped nine shots in the extra period, giving the Canadiens a 5-4 victory in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal playoff series on Wednesday."We kept our composure. We didn't want to get out of our game plan," Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. "The players stuck to our game plan, and we got rewarded in the end."MORE: | Daniel Briere pa sed from behind the net to Weise in the right circle, and he beat Anders Lindback for the winning score. Lindback stopped 39 of 44 shots while filling in for injured goaltender Ben Bishop."I can't remember the last time I had an overtime goal, so that one feels real good," Weise said. "I was surprised I was so wide open. ... That was a real breakdown on their side.""I kind of just turned my head and saw a pa s come out," Lindback said. "I was a little late on the play, so he buried it on me. Jesse Puljujarvi Jersey "Price stopped 21 shots for the Canadiens, who blew a pair of third-period leads. Brian Gionta had a short-handed goal and Tomas Plekanec, Lars Eller and Thomas Vanek also scored for Montreal.Steven Stamkos scored twice for Tampa Bay, including the goal that forced overtime.Game 2 is Friday night.PHOTOS: "Bad news is, we lost the game. Good news is, one game doesn't win the series," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "We get to come back and regroup."Three of the four regular-season meetings Grant Fuhr Jersey between the teams were decided in overtime or a shootout, while the fourth was clinched by an empty-net goal.This one was just as tight, with the Lightning making the most of a limited number of opportunities against Price and the Canadiens overcoming a pair of one-goal deficits before squandering a pair of their own while outshooting Tampa Bay 35-16 in regulation."I thought we played a solid game. Nothing was bothering the team," Therrien said. "They capitalized on our breakdowns, but their attitude was good."Vanek and Eller scored in the third period for Montreal, each giving the Canadiens a lead that Price couldn't protect. Alex Killorn countered for Tampa Bay to make it 3-all, and then fed a perfect pa s to Stamkos for the goal that forced overtime.Nikita Kucherov scored off a pa s from J.T. Brown to give the Lightning a 1-0 lead at 10:09 of the first period. The celebration for the sellout crowd of 19,204 had barely begun when Plekanec angled a well-placed shot past Lindback from the left circle to tie it just 19 seconds later.Stamkos' seventh career playoff goal gave the Lightning another lead that wouldn't hold up. Plekanec nearly knotted it for the second time when he hit the post le s than 30 seconds after Tampa Bay went up 2-1, but Lindback wasn't as fortunate when Gionta gathered a loose puck and skated in on a breakaway for his short-handed goal.The 6-foot-6 Lindback stopped Jonas Gustavsson Jersey the first shot, but Gionta scored on the rebound to make it 2-2 at 16:39 of the second.Bishop mi sed fourth straight game because of a left elbow injury, and his status for the remainder of the series remains uncertain. Cooper said it would Nail Yakupov Jersey be wrong to pin the blame for the Game 1 lo s on Lindback, who had just 13 minutes of playoff experience before Wednesday."He gives up five, so people are probably going to look and say: 'Oh wow, he gave up five,'" Cooper said."Look at the overtime goal, we put him in a tough situation when you leave a guy in front of the net all by himself. Couple of those other goals they scored, we hung him out to dry a little bit. So, it's tough. It's tough for any goalie."

The Blackhawks made their first move of the 2022 NHL trade deadline, trading Brandon Hagel to the Lightning on Friday.was the first to report the Hagel trade while reported the full trade details.The and Trade:Hagel4th round 224th round 24KatchoukRaddysh1st round 231st round 24 House of Bucci Mane (@Buccigro s) The 23-year-old forward is enjoying a career year, breaking out with 21 goals and 37 points in 55 games in his second full season in Chicago. He's also only in his first year of his three-year, $4.5 million contract Jerry Stackhouse Jersey with the Blackhawks, carrying a very cheap $1.5 million cap hit for two more seasons.For the Lightning, it's very reminiscent of the Blake Coleman/Barclay Goodrow pickups from the past two deadlines, both which helped the team to win two Stanley Cups. Like Hagel, they weren't the biggest names to be moved at the deadline, but are exactly the kind of player needed on a championship team.New Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson capitalized by trading a promising young player with term at his highest value, taking back multiple picks and players that will help as Chicago enters a long-term rebuild.Brandon Hagel trade detailsLightning get: Brandon Hagel, 2022 fourth-round pick, 2024 fourth-round pickBlackhawks get: 2023 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick, Boris Katchouk, Taylor RaddyshHagel came out of nowhere this season as a reliable offensive weapon for the Blackhawks this season. Bill Laimbeer Jersey His 21 goals rank only behind Alex DeBrincat for the team lead, thanks in part to his off-the-charts22.3% shooting percentage.He'll fit in right on Tampa Bay's third line as a nice replacement for Goodrow and Coleman, who the Lightning lost in free agency this offseason. He's not as strong defensively as either of the former Lightning players, but he's not a liability.Brandon Hagel, acquired by TB, is a playmaking middle-six forward who loves to attack off the rush. Draws lots of penalties as well. JFresh (@JFreshHockey) If it was any other team trading away multiple first-round picks for Hagel, I'd call them Detroit Pistons Jersey insane. But that logic doesn't nece sarily apply Tracy McGrady Jersey to BriseBois and the Lightning. He traded away first-round picks for Goodrow, Coleman and David Savard over the past two trade deadlines, leaving some people scratching their heads at the cost, but it resulted in two Stanley Cup rings.Hagel also has two more years under his contract before he's an RFA, so he's not a rental. He's young enough that the Lightning could eventually sign him to a long-term deal before he hits his prime. And given the trajectory early in his career, he could be well worth the two first-round picks.As for the Blackhawks, this was the kind of "can't say no" offer Davidson needed to be offered in order to trade Hagel. They still are without a 2021 first-round pick, traded away to the Blue Jackets in the Seth Jones deal, but now have two first-rounders for a 2023 draft expected to be much deeper than this year's and two Reggie Jackson Jersey first-rounders in 2024.In addition, they got two players in Taylor Raddysh and Boris Katchouk that are in their first NHL season. Both taken in the second round of the 2016 draft, Raddysh had 12 points in 57 games for Tampa Bay while Katchouk had six points in 38 games.Raddysh played with Dylan Strome and DeBrincat when the three were in the OHL with the Erie Otters. Katchouk and Raddysh, who , can contribute immediately and figure prominently into the team's future.

There are no style points in hockey, and the St. Louis Blues proved as much with a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins in Game 5 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.Outshot 39-21 by the Bruins and the benefectors of that immediately led to the game-winning goal, the Blues may be lucky to have claimed victory but the end result is the same. A standout performance by goaltender Jordan Binnington and clutch goals by Ryan O'Reilly and David Perron were enough to hold off the Bruins and give St. Louis a 3-2 series lead.MORE: Along with being outshot, the Blues were also outhit by the Bruins. Yetit seemed like St. Louis was the team dishing out more of the physicality, including in the first period of Thursday's contest that seemed to set the tone for the Blues for the rest of the game.Binnington withstood whatever the Bruins threw at him, and the Blues took advantage of somefortuitous calls (and non-calls) andsome opportunistic play to get the best of the Bruins on the night.With Game 6 set to be played in St. Louis on Sunday, the Blues have the opportunity to win their first Stanley Cup on home ice.Sporting News Jonas Brodin Jersey tracked live scoring updates and highlights from Game 5 between the Blues and Bruins.

Don't tell the Lightning you're supposed to be a little off your game when you haven't played in a week.In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final, their first game Logan Couture Jersey since they sentthe Bruins packing on Aug. 31, Tampa Bay claimed a dominant8-2 win over the Islanders.The two biggest contributors to the Lightning's lopsided victory were none other than Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, who entered the game ranked first and second, respectively,on the team in points this postseason.

"(Blake)Coleman makes a great play in the middle there to be patient, let me get some speed so, its just nice to score one early." David Schlemko Jersey With his opening marker, the Lightning forward extendedhis playoff point streak to seven games (the team has only played 14)."He put on a burst there that was, obviously much needed for us, but any time you go in and you get a lead that early in a game, its uplifting to a team," said head Patrick Marleau Jersey coach Jon Cooper."Hes so talented," added Yanni Gourde, who also had two goals in the game.

Who will replace Lou Holtz on ESPN?Holtz, , became a fixture on Saturday afternoons.
