Gotta love hockey fans.

Despite having a lead entering the third period in the first three games, the Jets were swept 4-0 by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round and eliminated from the playoffs.

But the success of making it that far was more than enough to give the notoriously raucous crowd a reason to cheer.
And it wasn't just a round of applause. The fans went crazy, as the Jets congratulated the Ducks with the traditional handshake at center ice.

Game, set, match.
When you heard this sound.
The wisp of air into a pressurized can is truly like a breathe of fresh air.
When your shots were placed so expertly there was visual proof.
When you felt the delightful pop of a tennis ball going into your hopper.
I don't have to bend over to pick up the balls? Genius.

When you executed the between-the-legs shot like a pro.
Or at least tried to.
The NFL announced Hardy, who was accused of domestic violence in 2014, will not play until Week 12 of the 2015–2016 season.
Greg Hardy, who signed a one-year, $11.3 million contract with the Cowboys during this offseason, has been suspended without pay for 10 games, the NFL announced today.

NFL's new senior vice president and special counsel for investigations Lisa Friel, whose background is in sexual misconduct investigations, completed the investigation into 2014 domestic violence allegations against Hardy.
Criminal charges against Hardy in North Carolina were dropped earlier this year when the victim, Nicole Holder, refused to cooperate. Law enforcement officials believe Holder and Hardy have reached a private settlement and her silence is a condition of that agreement.
The NFL said they made "numerous efforts to interview Ms. Holder."
During interviews with Hardy, the NFL determined he "failed to provide complete and accurate information to NFL investigators and members of the NFL staff.
First, he used physical force against her which caused her to land in a bathtub.
Second, he used physical force against her which caused her to land on a futon that was covered with at least four semi-automatic rifles.
Third, he used physical force against her by placing his hands around Ms. Holder's neck and applying enough pressure to leave visible marks.
And fourth, he used physical force to shove Ms. Holder against a wall in his apartment's entry hallway.
The use of physical force under the circumstances present here, against a woman substantially smaller than you and in the presence of powerful, military-style assault weapons, constitutes a significant act of violence in violation of the Personal Conduct Policy.
He made millions in the NFL, but has seemingly had a negative cashflow for nearly two years.

Now that Aaron Hernandez has been convicted of the first-degree murder of Odin Lloyd, the victim's family's wrongful death lawsuit against the former New England Patriots star can proceed.
And one of the goals of that suit, said Doug Sheff, who represents Ursula Ward on behalf of her dead son, is figuring out how exactly much money Hernandez has left.
At a news conference Wednesday, Sheff said that the 2013 suit, if it goes to trial, aims to make people "remember the name Odin Lloyd long after they forget Aaron Hernandez." He said he aims to achieve "complete justice" for the victim's family, though this suit has "never been about the money."
But, Sheff said, he will attempt to call witnesses with knowledge of Hernandez's financial situation. He would not reveal any known status of Hernandez's financials, adding the family will "need the court's help" to uncover this information.
Sheff also said he would call at least one other witness who did not appear in the criminal trial to testify: Aaron Hernandez.
In addition to revealing any information about his assets, which Sheff says he does not expect him to be "forthcoming" about, Hernandez will be called to answer two questions for Ursula Ward: "What happened that night, and why?"
The state of Hernandez's financials is a question that has lingered after his first murder trial came to a close last week. ( He was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. Hernandez will appeal, which is automatic in Massachusetts for first-degree murder crimes.)
How much did he earn during his short NFL career? How was it spent? Will he have enough money to retain his high-powered attorneys? And how much money is left to be claimed through his four pending civil cases?
The process to potentially reveal how much money Hernandez has left, and where, will be complicated. But Sheff's position is simple: "We are not confident he has any money, but he sure has received a lot over the years."
Lloyd's family have already secured two potential sources of restitution if they win their case: Hernandez's mansion in North Attleborough, Mass., and any money the Patriots might owe him.
In 2014 his family requested – and a court approved – a freeze on the assets of his home, ensuring it could not be transferred or sold while his trial played out. His fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, still lives in the home with their two-year-old daughter, Avielle. Hernandez bought the home for $1.3 million. The victim's family has secured it for up to $5 million.
When the lawsuit was filed in 2013, the Patriots and Kraft Patriots, LLC., were listed as "reach and apply" defendants. A dispute about whether or not the team owes Hernandez $3.25 million as part of a signing bonus has yet to be resolved.
Ward's attorney confirmed on Wednesday an agreement to remove the Patriots from the lawsuit with the understanding that if the Patriots are found responsible for any money owed to Hernandez, it will be secured for Lloyd's family.
Ward, who did not take questions, also spoke on behalf of her slain child at Wednesday's the news conference.
"The day they told me my son was shot and killed, I thought my life had ended with him. I always wished I had taken those bullets for him" she said, tearfully. "Odin was a hero in my book."
