Dear scamming dipsticks: if you're going to try to pull one over me on the Honda Pilot I've never owned, at least get my name right. Although I must say, Imani Myers has a nice ring to it.

BTW, on the reading front, for those who like nonfiction, I highly recommend "The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey." Outstanding.

OK, offseason hath commencethed so I need reading recommnedations. I'm still big into history/nonfiction/biographies, so give me reads! Thanks in advance #TraceysBooks

A lot of great stories on NHL.com this morning. Check them out.

That wraps another season and what a Stanley Cup Final. Here’s my story on Brandon Bussi’s memorable season, which ended with a brilliant Game 6 performance. www.nhl.com/news/brandon...

See you soon sweet home, Chicago

Game, set, match, Cup. Carolina celebrates the 20th anniversary of their first Stanley Cup win with another one.

We're through two, it's 2-0 Carolina. SOG 16-14 Hurricanes.

Carolina’s going on the power play with 2:56 remaining in the second period. Andersson interference.

Believe it went off Marner's stick.

Blake's shot went off the stick of a Vegas player. I couldn't see which one.

Hurricanes take a 2-0 lead at 13:31. Jackson Blake. Another one from that sizzling second line.

Well, that was quite the end to the first period. Bussi lunges to knock Dorofeyev's shot off his left arm. It's 1-0 Carolina through one. SOG 10-8 VGK

Now Stankoven sits for cross-checking at 18:38.

VGK kills that off.

Taylor Hall drives the net and draws a hooking penalty on Jack Eichel. Carolina power play at 16:12. SOG 7-5 Carolina.

Hertl called for face-off violation and it's 4-on-4.

Vegas getting the first power play of the game at 10:26. Jackson Blake tripping on Hart. SOG 5-3.

Taylor Hall strikes first for the Hurricanes and it's 1-0 3:47 into the game. Definitely a big group of Hurricanes fans in the building.

Puck. Droppethed.

The lineups, starters and scratches for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final:

Defenseman Kaedan Korczak also on the ice for warmups for VGK.

Warmup time. Carter Hart leads the Golden Knights onto the ice while Brandon Bussi does the same for the Hurricanes. Reilly Smith is out here for warmups as well. So is Braeden Bowman.

Saad and Kolesar the forwards out there skating for VGK right now. Kolesar always skates though, per the Vegas scribes. Reilly Smith skated on his own around 8 am local time, for about 20 minutes.

Delay of game on Carolina with 2:13 remaining. It’s been a theme for the Hurricanes tonight.

Dorofeyev gets his second of the game, right in front, and it's 4-2 Hurricanes with 6:11 remaining in regulation.

Double-minor high-sticking on Stone (on Chatfield) for VGK with 11:22 remaining in regulation.

Third beginning shortly. No Wiliam Karlsson for the Golden Knights.

Hurricanes had been outscored 9-1 by Vegas in second periods in this series heading into tonight. Carolina scores two in the second tonight to take a 3-1 lead through 40 minutes. SOG 15-13 Carolina. We'll see if Karlsson returns for the Golden Knights.
