Blake Wheeler went head over heels into the Golden Knights’ bench in the first period of Game 1 Saturday.

Will “Hi-Tech’s” upgrade to lightweight prove fruitful, or will Jorge Linares send Lomachenko to the locker room, second guessing his decision to move up?

Webb Simpson has been making everything on the greens so far this week.

Vasiliy Lomachenko and Jorge Linares fight in a high-risk, high-reward fight on Saturday, May 12. Here’s all you need to know about the fight.

Irish rugby’s remarkable year shows absolutely no sign of ending. By no stretch of the imagination was this a classic final but it is impossible to deny the scale of Leinster’s achievement in becoming only the second team in history to win four European Cups. Given Ireland’s Six Nations grand slam and potentially a Pro14 title as well, the 2017-18 season has been a rhapsody in green and blue.

While the margins in Bilbao were distinctly slim, the soon-to-retire Isa Nacewa slotting the winning penalty with less than two minutes remaining, there can be no disputing Leinster’s consistency.

Arsène Wenger’s head fell off and rolled across the glass table before plunging on to my living room floor. Last week, an hour after Arsenal had lost to Atlético Madrid, to ruin the fleeting dream of Wenger’s final match as manager being in the Europa League final, I had lifted up the old bobble-head and prepared to move it back to the window sill.

As a family joke, and a worrying sign of my lifelong support of Arsenal, I had been given this wonderfully naff homage to the club’s greatest-ever manager years ago. The Wenger bobble-head had stayed in my office until March 2013 when, after a 3-1 home defeat against Bayern Munich, we needed a miracle in the second leg.

Tiger Woods relished this Sawgrass Saturday just as much as those desperate for the 14-times major winner to approach anything like his former self. Maybe all parties needed it; until now, fevered hype around the American amid his latest return from back surgery had not been endorsed by results. Actions will always speak louder than the upbeat words consistently offered by Woods.

A seven-under-par 65 was the highlight of the 42-year-old’s season thus far. The scale of reaction as Woods was in the middle of his charge only served to highlight once again what impact he has on a sport that not so long ago looked like it may have to resign itself to life without him.

Soon after 10am, the Irish players gathered together on the outfield while the chair of selectors, Andrew White, set down a scruffy cardboard box full of handsome new caps. He handed them out one by one, the first to captain William Porterfield, then the rest in alphabetical order, Andy Balbirnie, Ed Joyce, Tyrone Kane, Tim Murtagh, Kevin and Niall O’Brien, Boyd Rankin, Paul Stirling, Stuart Thompson and Gary Wilson. The first Irish Test XI. At least a couple of them started to cry from pride. Then, their coach, Graham Ford, cut them short. “Let’s get moving.”

For the second consecutive Saturday, fighting broke out at one of Britain’s premier racetracks. An Ascot official confirmed that two groups of men had engaged in a fight inside the main grandstand after the final race. The incident, which was also flagged up on social media by onlookers, followed a week after a 50-person fight at Goodwood that resulted in three people being taken to hospital.

Britain’s racecourses are likely to come under unprecedented pressure to show they are taking the subject of antisocial behaviour seriously, with some concerned a reckless pursuit of profit through sales of alcohol is causing a serious problem for the sport.
