      <description>&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. — Bill Gates scored on a rebound at 5:53 of the third period, and the Portland Brewers edged the New York Times 2-1 Saturday at the Rose Garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gates’ unassisted goal, a point-blank chance lifted into the high corner after a blocked-shot rebound, broke a 1-all tie and stood as the winner for Portland, which outshot New York 32-30 in a tight, low-scoring game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ken Kesey made 29 saves for the Brewers and was named the game’s first star. Tom Robbins stopped 30 shots for New York, keeping the Times close despite Portland’s late push.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;PHILADELPHIA — J Dilla snapped a third-period deadlock with a wrist shot from the low slot with less than five minutes remaining, lifting the Philadelphia Pisces to a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Style on Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The winning goal, recorded at the 15:29 mark of the final frame, was the result of a relentless Philadelphia forecheck. After forcing a turnover deep in the Chicago zone, Jerry Rice and Simone De Beauvoir connected to find Dilla in space. His quick release beat Chicago goaltender Hunter S. Thompson, providing the margin of victory in an intensely physical contest.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;WASHINGTON — Cassie Campbell scored an unassisted short-handed goal in the second period, and Linus Torvalds turned aside 27 shots as the Washington Swamp edged the Pittsburgh Parallax 1-0 on Tuesday at RFK Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &amp;ldquo;Capital Clash&amp;rdquo; rivalry lived up to its billing in a defensive stalemate that saw only one breakthrough before a crowd of 16,132.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The game’s lone goal came at 8:41 of the second period. With Washington’s Aaron Swartz in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike conduct, Campbell took control of the puck on a short-handed rush. She fired a slapshot from the point that beat Pittsburgh goaltender Richard Branson to the back of the net. It was the only scoring Branson would allow, as he finished with 25 saves on 26 shots.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;LOS ANGELES – Maurice Richard scored three times in the third period and spent ten minutes in the penalty box for fighting as the Los Angeles Suns dominated the New York Times 5-1 on Saturday at Dodger Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;

The Suns’ flurry was sparked by Steph Curry, who scored the eventual game-winner just 29 seconds into the final frame.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;BOSTON GARDEN, May 1, 2026 (AP) — The Boston Tea Party secured a decisive 4-0 victory over the Montreal Expos on Monday in the Old Border Feud matchup, showcasing an aggressive third-period surge that ultimately overwhelmed the visiting team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The game remained tightly contested through the first two periods, with neither squad able to breach the opposing net. Momentum finally shifted for Boston during the second frame when Cammi Granato fired home a crucial unassisted goal at the 5:30 mark. The goal provided the go-ahead marker and set the stage for Boston&amp;rsquo;s eventual dismantling of the Expos’ defense.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Dear Friends of the Game,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I sit here in the high office, looking out not over a city skyline but over the vast, shimmering expanse of the multiverse that our league now occupies, I am struck by a profound sense of awe. When we first conceived of the Cosmic League, the skeptics were legion. They said you couldn&amp;rsquo;t put poets on skates. They said philosophers couldn&amp;rsquo;t backcheck. They told us that the egos of tech moguls and the raw energy of grunge musicians would combust if confined within the same rink.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
