GUY ADAMS: The clock has just struck 8.15 p.m., and inside Utilita Arena in Sheffield, a showdown between the two biggest competitors in British ice hockey is heating up to what promises to be a thrilling climax.

Dylan Strome, who managed to redirect the puck into the net, had a goal, but Ovechkin's stick was actually off the wall, according to a report.

LeBron Raymone James Jr., a young basketball phenom in the United States, has a lot in common with his legendary father's.
