Neck guard sales jump after Sask. hockey player slashed by skate

More adult players are now investing in the protective equipment.
The Golden State Warriors are back in the NBA final for the fifth straight year.
“BORING!” was the first piece of feedback I heard following their overtime victory to sweep Portland in the Western Conference final.
Sure, it’s the same team in the final … again. Whatever team LeBron was on made it to the final for seven straight seasons.
But the NBA is star-driven more than any other league. The stars are on the floor for at least three-quarters of the action. NHL stars are in play about one-third of the game, NFL is half the game and Major League Baseball for the offensive stars is one-ninth.
I for one am bored with the New England Patriots, but that’s because the way they play is plodding ball-control offence. The Warriors are must-see TV.
And they are winning without three of their top six players. They win with strong defence and high-paced offence.
If you’re not a fan of dynasties, I understand. But if you’re a fan of entertainment, I think you should be rejoicing that you get to see more Golden State basketball this spring.
