Today's UPDATES

We're get into Avengers: Infinity War a bit later in this post, but let's talk about what's is happening in the NBA and NHL Playoffs in our Max Sports Rundown. Last Friday, the NBA offered a trio of Game 6s and could decide who moves in the second round, the Raptors were able to stop the Wizards dead in their tracks and are waiting for their next opponents which will be determined in a high-stakes Game 7 today. The Cavaliers were just one win away to being the Raptors' next opponents, they just had one job to do last Friday don't lose to the Pacers, but they failed to complete that task and let the Pacers go on ahead to win the game in an impressive win. Meanwhile, the Jazz bounce back from an embarrassing Game 5 loss to the Thunder and needed to secure the advantage they had on their home court, and the Jazz did an excellent job on defense which helped to a 4-2 series win. Last night, the first Game 7 of the 2018 NBA playoffs took place between the Celtics and Bucks, the former of the two were the winners of this Game 7 and will soon match up the with the surging 76ers. Then, in the first second round series, it was the Warriors next challenge to make it back to the Finals and took on the Pelicans who put on a good performance on in the first half of Game 1, but it was the Warriors who owned the second half and the entire game 1, so no Rust on the Dubs even without Steph Curry. The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs saw the remaining eight teams competing in for the right to be in the Conference Finals. The Sharks have done what no one else has done so far, hand the Golden Knights their first playoff loss in franchise history, in a Double Overtime victory last night, the Sharks found a way to defeat the NHL's newest and hottest team. The Bruins and Penguins won their respective Game 1s with the greatest of ease, and the Jets who have been impressive thus far, stunned the President Trophy winning Predators in a massive victory. Check out the results and upcoming matches for these two great playoffs, along with the results of the WWE's Greatest Royal Rumble from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

If you are a '90s kids , then you're favorite thing to do back then was to watch '90s Nickelodeon and see shows such as All That, Kenan & Kel, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Are You Afraid of the Dark" and so many more. But the one show that made Nickelodeon a household name was Double Dare, it was considered the very first game show for kids, and it had everything: dares, prizes, trivia questions, physical challenges and obstacle courses. Well today's #TwitterTrend is about one big news that broke out last Thursday, and it can be summed to just four words: DOUBLE DARE IS BACK! The classic kids game show will return for 40 episodes this summer on Nickelodeon after its original run hosted by Marc Summers from 1986-1993, which included spin-off shows such as Supper Sloppy and Family Double Dare. The series had gone through a previous revival with Double Dare 2000 hosted by Jason Harris,and that only lasted for the entire year of 2000, but this new reboot in 2018 will be a bit different. It will have the same format with two teams of two kids competing against each other for prizes and a special run in the obstacle course, but it will also feature "appearances from blasts from the past, longtime Double Dare fans and stars from today." So while we wait to see how this new Double Dare comes along, see you what these said longtime fans about their favorite agme show returning this summer.

Yesterday I saw Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War and it was more than just any War, it was a race against the clock. I went to see it yesterday because I was completely bored ans stressed out because I could not wait another minute, I had to know how it all played out. Some of the things that I liked about the film what that it fits perfectly with the previous films of the MCU, and it tell a compelling story that has been in the words in the past ten years. Also, it takes you from one different place in the universe to another, one moment you're right back to where Thor was after Asgard was destroyed, the next minute you're in New York with Iron Man, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, and then you're with the Guardians of the Galaxy, and then taking a vacation in Wakanda where Black Panther and his forces are trying to stop the evil army led by Thanos. If those who have not seen Infinity War, I suggest you see it right now, because you don't what you are missing, there were so much emotion in this film that I literally almost cried, I felt what every character was going through and when it came to the very end, you had only question floating in your head. That question is: What's happens next? The answer will have to wait next year when Avengers 4 hits theaters and this War is far from over. Now to see the mood right going forward, today's Web Choice playlist highlights even more stuff from the Infinity War World Premiere last week and more of the stars of the film cracking more jokes on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
