FOX is set to return to the baseball ⚾ diamond this Saturday, April 27, with regional coverage of two exciting matchups on the FOX broadcast network at 4:00 PM ET. FOX's afternoon regional coverage on Saturday will be followed by FS1's presentation of the Diamondbacks vs. Mariners game later that evening at 9:30 PM ET.

Blog Update - Wednesday, April 10, 2024 - The Official Addition of the WNBA

Hi, everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hopefully, your week is off to a great start. I just wanted to write up this blog update today to inform you about a new and exciting addition to my sports website. Now, if you pay attention to the blog description near the top of my blog, I mentioned that I would be adding the WNBA to the list of sports that I cover, starting in 2024.

Now, the time has come to embrace being uncomfortable and tackle some new projects. So beginning with this season, 2024, I will be covering women's sports for the first time in the nearly decade long history of this website. I am so excited to share this news with everyone out there!

I will be covering the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) for the first time ever. As part of this new commitment, WNBA games that will be airing on ABC and ESPN will be tracked, with any announcing assignments and game updates. Plus, any and all postseason broadcasts will be documented as well. If you guys want any other networks (besides ABC and ESPN) to be covered here in this space, please let me know and I will see if I have the time to devote to these networks as well.

The WNBA is a league that features some exciting talent, like 2023 Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year and rising star in the broadcasting industry, Aliyah Boston and two-time Kia WNBA Most Valuable Player Candace Parker, who of course, covers the NBA for TNT during the WNBA offseason.

Ladies, you will be getting your shine 🌟 on TamirMoore.com now and moving forward! Women's basketball is exploding in popularity thanks to electrifying basketball players like JuJu WatkinsCaitlin Clark and Angel Reese. I hope to share just a small piece of the emerging women's basketball scene with you on TamirMoore.com

Again, as always, with the men's sports and now with the WNBA, please comment on my articles regarding any updates on the broadcasts and/or your own comments (as long as they follow my blog's rules, which can be found at the bottom of each of the articles).

Thanks, again! And let's have some fun in the sun hooping 🏀 this summer, ladies!

Look out for future blog updates here on TamirMoore.com. In the meanwhile, enjoy the rest of your day and thank you for reading.

Sincerely,
Tamir Moore - owner, operator & administrator of TamirMoore.com

The Mercury is led by WNBA career points leader Diana Taurasi, nine-time All-Star Brittney Griner, and new additions in 2021 WNBA Finals MVP and three-time All-Star Kahleah Cooper and two-time WNBA All-Defensive Team selection Natasha Cloud.

- ESPN/ABC to present 14 first round matchups over four days, starting on Sunday, April 21 at 12:30 PM ET.

- ESPN, ESPN2, TNT and TBS team up to broadcast first round action

With the NHL's 2023-24 regular season in the books, now is the time to look ahead to the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs will kick off with a doubleheader of Game 1 action on TBS (and simulcasted on truTV) on Saturday, April 20

In the first game, the New York Islanders will visit the Carolina Hurricanes to open up the first round at 5:00 PM ET on TBS and truTV. Former Hurricanes commentator John Forslund will call the action with analysis provided by Jennifer Botterill and Darren Pang.

Then, in primetime on Saturday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs battle the Boston Bruins in Game 1 of their series at 8:00 PM ET on TBS and truTV. TNT's lead commentary team of Kenny Albert, Eddie Olczyk and Brian Boucher will provide commentary.

The first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs then continues on Sunday, April 21 with four games on the ESPN family of networks.

Sunday's playoff action begins at 12:30 PM ET on ESPN with Game 1 of a first-round series between Tampa Bay Lightning and this year's Atlantic Division winner Florida Panthers. The Panthers' Sam Reinhart and Matthew Tkachuk look to match the offensive explosion of the Lightning and Art Ross Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov. Bob Wischusen provides play-by-play commentary, with analyst Ryan Callahan and reporter Leah Hextall.

At 3:00 PM ET on Sunday afternoon on ESPN, the Washington Capitals and Alexander Ovechkin take on the team with the best record in the NHL this season - the President's Trophy winner New York Rangers for Game 1 of the best-of-seven series between the teams at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers boast one of the best offenses in hockey this year - led by goals and assists leader Artemi Panarin. ESPN's lead commentary crew of Sean McDonough, Ray Ferraro and Emily Kaplan will be on the call.

Sunday's postseason coverage then shifts to ESPN2 at 7:00 PM ET as the Colorado Avalanche and its points, goals, and assists leader Nathan MacKinnon hits the ice to play the Winnipeg Jets and their outstanding goalie Connor Hellebuyck - this season's William M. Jennings Trophy winner for Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round. Play-by-play commentator John Buccigross & analyst Cassie Campbell-Pascall will describe the action from Winnipeg.

The final game of Sunday's quadrupleheader of postseason action goes back to the main ESPN channel at 10:00 PM ET (following the Rangers-Braves game on Sunday Night Baseball), the Nashville Predators and the Pacific Division champion Vancouver Canucks square off for Game 1 of the Western Conference opening round - after both teams missed the playoffs a season ago. The commentating duo of Mike Monaco & AJ Mleczko handle the broadcasting for this game.

The final two Game 1's of the opening round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs then will take place on Monday, April 22 (the other two Monday games are Game 2 of the Maple Leafs/Bruins series and Game 2 of the Islanders/Hurricanes series).

The defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights and reigning Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Marchessault invade Dallas to battle this year's best team in the West, the Dallas Stars, and its points and assists top dawg Jason Robertson in Game 1 of the best-of-seven First Round series at 9:30 PM ET on ESPN. Bob Wischusen, Ryan Callahan & Leah Hextall will provide commentary from Dallas.

In a rematch of last season's opening round series, the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid - who tied for a league-leading 100 assists this regular season - host Anze Kopitar and the Los Angeles Kings at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN2. Mike Monaco handles the play-by-play while analyst AJ Mleczko provides analysis of the action from her perspective.

The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs first round will then continue with daily games through Monday, April 29. ESPN, ESPN2, TNT and TBS will combine to air the first round games.
