Both the NBA and NHL finished amazing and dramatic Finals. While neither went the full seven games, each game within was dramatic to say the least. One of the most exciting games in Stanley Cup Finals history was Game 3, where the Las Vegas Golden Knights seemingly were putting a beat down of the Carolina Hurricanes both in the game, and maybe in the series, as they scored 4 second period goals to take a commanding 4-0 lead, looking to go up 2 games to 1. This after torching the Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen for 5 goals in Game 1. Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'amour had seen enough. He pulled his goalie for a journeyman first-year player who had never played in the playoffs, let alone in the Stanley Cup Finals. Brandon Bussi put up 45 straight minutes of scoreless hockey as the Canes came roaring back to force double overtime. It was into second overtime before his Canes fell. They would not fall again. Bussi ran off three straight wins, the Cup winner a shutout of the high-flying offensive Knights in Game 6. Bussi came from nothing to win it all. And is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
