This will be a season that will be like no other, thanks in large part  to the new TV deal made by ESPN and Turner Sports. Hockey fans will get to see their favorite teams get more exposure and publicity. More coverage, more attention, more ratings, and hopefully more excitement.  Another major headline heading into this season was the debut of the NHL's new expansion franchise, the Seattle Kraken. Seattle, like the Vegas Golden Knights of 2018, look to start off with a bang and make a deep run at the Stanley Cup.  Who will be hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup this Summer? Will Tampa Bay three-peat?

After tough losses early on in the playoffs last season, the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets look to bounce back stronger than ever and make runs to an NBA title. KD, along with James Harden, will have to step up more and more and stay even more focused with everything going on with teammate Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, King James, along with a Lakers roster featuring new star Russell Westbrook, look to shake off a very disappointing first-round playoff exit to the Phoenix Suns.  While Brooklyn and L.A. are the prohibited favorites to meet in June, don't sleep on the Philadelphia 76ers or the Los Angeles Clippers.
