What do you need to know about the weekends big stories? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Cup matchup preview?: The Chicago Blackhawks have won three Stanley Cup titles since 2010. The Montreal Canadiens have won 24 Cups, but none since 1993. Imagine if these two Original Six teams were the last two standing come June? If they keep on track, its quite possible well see that matchup in the finals. On Sunday, the Blackhawks defeated the Canadiens 3-2 to snap Montreals four-game winning streak, showing Cup contenders they must still beat the Blackhawks to be considered legit. The Blackhawks are now 11-3-2 and have earned points in 11 straight with a 9-0-2 record. After suffering a first-round exit to the St. Louis Blues in the playoffs last spring, the Blackhawks appeared to be on their way out. But theyre now leading the Central Division with 24 points. The Canadiens (13-2-1 for 27 points) are for real, too. It would be incredible for hockey if the Blackhawks and Canadiens battled it out in the Stanley Cup finals.Flyers have net deficit: A team is at its best when it can rely on two solid goaltenders, especially this season with the compressed schedule. Up until this weekend, that was the case for the Philadelphia Flyers, who had Michal Neuvirth and Steve Mason, both instrumental in helping the Flyers reach the playoffs last season. But now its all Mason after Neuvirth suffered a lower-body injury that will sideline him for four to six weeks. Mason has the ability to make the most of this opportunity, but he has to take full advantage of it. Meanwhile, the Flyers will recall Anthony Stolarz, 22, from the AHL to serve as Masons backup. Stolarz is talented and athletic, has a great glove and is known for his good work ethic. He will keep getting better, and some in the hockey world believe he is better than the Pittsburgh Penguins Matt Murray. But make no mistake, the Flyers hopes for a playoff return clearly ride on Masons shoulders.Bickell determined to return:?Carolina Hurricanes forward Bryan Bickells diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, which was announced Friday, doesnt necessarily mean the end of his career. The 30-year-old left winger and three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks said he has been unwittingly dealing with the disease since the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs. He was shocked to learn the news, but hes hopeful hell return to playing. The disease impacts motor skills but affects everyone differently. In November 2012, Minnesota Wild goaltender Josh Harding was diagnosed with MS and played only 34 more games; he is now a high school goalie coach in Edina, Minnesota. Calgary Flames goalie coach Jordan Sigalet was diagnosed with MS during his junior season in 2003 at Bowling Green State University. He finished his college career, turned pro and played four more seasons, including three in the AHL, before finishing his career in Europe. Former Major League Baseball standout Rocco Baldelli had his promising career cut short after being diagnosed with a mitochondrial disease, which has similar effects as MS. He was 28 when his playing career ended; he is now the first-base coach for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move. Carlos Sainz believes he can force opportunities to gain an early promotion to Red Bull if he continues to impress at Toro Rosso.Red Bull team principal Christian Horner confirmed on Wednesday that Sainz has had his Toro Rosso deal extended for 2017, while senior team drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are both contracted until the end of the following season. Sainz says he feels the early announcement can only be a positive and that it emphasises the belief Red Bull has in him.From my personal point of view its good news, Sainz said. because in such a tough program like Toro Rosso, where we all know what has happened in the past, to execute the option in the ninth race of the season I must be doing something good. I must be performing. So Im happy with that, it shows the hard work is finally paying off and I just need to keep pushing.The Spaniard has already matched his 2015 points tally (18) after just eight races this season, including a career-best sixth place finish at his home grand prix at Barcelona.Red Bull opted to switch its drivers ahhead of the Spanish Grand Prix in May -- when Daniil Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and eventual race winner Max Verstappen took his place -- and Sainz believes there is every possibility to earn a move to the senior team if he can continue his strong form.ddddddddddddIn F1 everything is open. Even if a contract is signed for 2018, you know Formula One contracts are just a bit of paper that can be broken very easily. In the end my job is to keep doing good races this year and if I stay like Im staying in Toro Rosso in 2017, keep doing the same and create my own opportunities. If I force opportunities they will come.Yes its true that the senior team is a bit too crowded at the moment so I will have to wait, but Im convinced that if I keep doing good races they will make me a seat and they will find an option for me. I just need to keep doing what Im doing, focusing on myself, getting strong results and opportunities will come.
