Power Rankings: Ovi and Caps reign supreme - ESPN.com
4. Los Angeles Kings
- The Kings welcome Vincent Lecavalier and Luke Schenn and continue to roll, going 6-1-1 in their last eight as the undisputed rulers of the Pacific while also taking aim at the big boys from the Central for the top seed in the West.
- The Ducks are 5-2-1 in their last eight after losing 2-1 on Sunday to the Wings. If John Gibson keeps playing as well as he has, he will shoulder his way into the Vezina Trophy discussion with his 1.84 GAA. The Ducks are tops in the league on the penalty kill and 10th on the power play and right back in the playoff chase in the Pacific.
- The Sharks still look like a team that will be on the outside looking in come playoff time, no matter how tepid the Pacific is. After all, you only get to play the Maple Leafs so many times, right?
Never, Ever Taunt A Big Hitter
Kisner talks trash to Bubba, then gets smoked
The biggest challenge may have been playing with Bubba Watson on Friday, “it’s two totally different golf courses for us,” said Kisner, who ranks 61st this season in driving distance on the PGA Tour.
That disparity between the two players off the tee didn’t stop Kisner from holding his ground against the big-hitting southpaw late on Day 2.
“I smoked it by Bubba on 17, look it up,” he smiled. “And I talked trash all the way down. Then he hit it by me 70 [yards] at [No.] 18.”

Social Media Junkies Are Such Idiots
No, splitting the Powerball among the US population would not make us millionaires
The record-breaking $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot is starting to seep into the world of memes. But one viral meme in particular is plagued by a case of bad math.
The concept is simple: If Powerball simply split the pot amongst the entire US population, poverty would be solved!
According to the meme's math, $1.3 billion divided by 300 million people would provide everyone with $4.33 million.
Except, it really wouldn't.
Everyone would get about $4.33.

Editor's note: Why the original math was incorrect. The person divided 1.3 billion by only 300, and not 300,000,000.
