Bobby Ryan's wife is on the verge of giving birth, and he appears to be having fun with it.

The Ottawa Senators forward has been sharing updates since Sunday morning.

About 12 hours later, Ryan was ready to have a cry in the shower.

Later on Sunday night, it appeared as though he was asked to leave the hospital to get some sleep, but he had the perfect analogy for the situation.

Ryan was infamously snubbed from the U.S. Olympic team for the Sochi Games in 2014, and when Brian Burke said Ryan "can't spell intense", the winger fired back by calling Burke's comments "gutless".

It's good to see Ryan is able to joke about it now.

The San Jose Sharks have made a fan out of Marreese Speights.

After soaking in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday in San Jose, the Golden State Warriors reserve big man arrived for Game 2 of the NBA Finals sporting some new duds.

There's never been a Stanley Cup champion and NBA Finals winner from the same region, in the same season, in seven previous opportunities across all sports markets, according to CSN.

The father of Vancouver Canucks forward Linden Vey and Angela Nicholson were found guilty on Sunday of plotting to kill their spouses.

A jury found Nicholson and Curtis Vey guilty on two counts each of conspiracy to commit murder, according to CTV Saskatoon.

The couple planned to kill Linden's mother, Brigitte, in a house fire and plotted to drug Nicholson's husband, Jim Taylor.

Brigitte testified that she secretly recorded the pair making the plans in July 2013.

Curtis and Nicholson will be sentenced on Sept. 2.

Linden opened up about the case and its effect on him earlier this month, admitting that it's been difficult to focus on hockey.

With the San Jose Sharks gaining last change as the Stanley Cup Final shifted to Northern California over the weekend, Pete DeBoer in essence dared Evgeni Malkin to be the difference-maker.

With Marc-Edouard Vlasic shadowing Sidney Crosby and Brent Burns' unit drawing the "HBK line" in Game 3, Malkin - one of the game's most dangerous attacking weapons - primarily received the favorable matchup of third-pairing defenders Brenden Dillon and Roman Polak.

DeBoer's hunch paid off. Malkin was largely ineffective, failing to generate meaningful attacking pressure with Chris Kunitz and Bryan Rust, and was eventually bumped up to the top line as Pittsburgh was forced to shorten its bench.

So on Sunday, and in response, it was DeBoer's counterpart who issued a challenge of his own.

"He's been a big part of our playoff success, but I know there's another level that he has to help us win," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said, via the team's official Twitter page.

Malkin has yet to record a point in the Stanley Cup Final, registering eight shots on goal, but his lack of production is not unlike most stars being featured in the NHL's terminating series. Crosby, Joe Thornton, Kris Letang, Brent Burns, and Logan Couture haven't scored, while Joe Pavelski - like Malkin - is still looking for his first point.

San Jose Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer isn't as bothered over the shot count in the Stanley Cup Final as one might think.

After the Pittsburgh Penguins came out on top in that category in all three games of the series so far, DeBoer admitted at a press conference Sunday his team could probably do a better job of getting in the shooting lanes to block some shots on net, but overall he's not worried about it.

"They shoot from everywhere, they slam the pucks from everywhere. So I think you do have to look at quality versus quantity," he told reporters. "I don't think it's as easy as looking at the shot clock and saying, 'You're getting dominated because they have 40 shots and you have 26.' I don't think the game's that simple."

While there does exist a wide gap in total shots over three games, the total attempts are much closer, as is the goal margin.

And while the Penguins did have a 42-26 advantage on Game 3, San Jose had the edge in attempts (79-76), which speaks to DeBoer's call for his team to jam up the shooting lines in the way Pittsburgh was able to do Saturday.

Finally, DeBoer added the shot difference may be more about storyline than anything else.

One can imagine Matt Murray blasting some Taylor Swift in his earbuds after Game 3, as the Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender was clearly in "shake it off" mode after the overtime loss.

Murray allowed three goals on 26 shots fired at him by the San Jose Sharks, two of which appeared quite stoppable, namely Joel Ward's third-period equalizer and Joonas Donskoi's overtime winner.

Still, he appears quite ready to move on to Game 4 with his confidence well intact.

"I definitely don't dwell on it," Murray said after the game, according to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

"After a goal goes in you can't take it out of the net and you can't take it off the scoreboard, so you move on and you just worry about stopping the next one," Murray continued. "I made a couple good saves there in the third and a couple in overtime. Unfortunately that one (in OT) gets past me, but I felt really good all night to be honest."

Even with veteran Marc-Andre Fleury - who won a Stanley Cup in 2009 - ready and able to step in, Murray's calm demeanor bodes well for a bounce back in Game 4.

The 22-year-old has certainly demonstrated an ability to do just that over the course of the postseason, posting a record of 3-0 following a loss.

Joonas Donskoi lived out a dream in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The San Jose Sharks rookie scored the game-winning goal in overtime, further garnering the respect of his teammates, including all-world defenseman Brent Burns.

"It's great for him. What a special moment," Burns said after the game, according to Michael Traikos of Postmedia. "You score in overtime, Stanley Cup Final, it’s pretty badass.

"It's no secret for us, he's been great all year and it's been fun to watch for us him come in. He plays beyond his years."

The Finnish forward may be a rookie on paper, but the 24-year-old came to the NHL with plenty of professional hockey experience in his home country, with 60 goals in 271 career games with Liiga's Karpat.

Donskoi recorded 11 goals and 36 points during the regular season and has upped his game in the playoffs, where he has six goals and 12 points in 21 games.

While there's sure to be plenty more goals to come in Donskoi's career, an overtime goal to secure San Jose's first win of the Stanley Cup Final will be hard to top.

Badass, indeed.
