The Tampa Bay Lightning lead the Pittsburgh Penguins one game to none in the Eastern Conference Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They won 3 – 1 Friday night and they did it without goalie Ben Bishop who’s been amazing this year and a key element of their success in the playoffs. He went down with a leg injury in the first period of Friday’s game and was carried off on a stretcher. The good news is the MRI’s have been negative but he is questionable for game two which is tonight in Pittsburgh at 8 o’clock.

NEW YORK (AP) — “60 Minutes” said goodbye to Morley Safer on Sunday, honoring the newsman who has been a fixture at the CBS news-magazine for all but two of its 48 years. The tribute marked the close of a 61-year career for Safer, who, according to the program, has had the longest-ever run on prime-time television. CBS announced his retirement last week. Safer’s first report on “60 Minutes” in 1970 was about the training of U.S. Sky Marshals. His 919th and last, a profile of Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, was broadcast in March. At 84 and dealing with health issues, Safer had cut back on work in recent years. The Toronto-born Safer was the first Saigon bureau chief for CBS News.
