stanley cup final BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

Pause for a second, and embrace the absurdity. The pregame spectacle at T-Mobile Arena is unlike anything outside of, say, a Cher show on the Strip if it were injected with medieval theater. “Everyone’s kind of sick of all the hoopla,” Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik said hours before the puck dropped Monday for the Stanley Cup finals. Little did he know he had not yet seen even a fraction of what Las Vegas has to offer in terms of showmanship. There should be a deep breath and a small smile, though, for what Monday represented, regardless of the theatrics: an appreciation for the Capitals’ first Stanley Cup finals appearance in 20 years. Enjoy it? OK, that’s enough. This is going to be a real hockey series, likely a long one. And for the Capitals to win it, they’re not going to get away with games played in the wild style of the opener. It’s who they once were. It’s no longer who they are. That’s why they’re here. Part of that is because these Golden Knights must be

acknowledged as a real powerhouse. The 6-4 win they hung on the Capitals in Game 1 was their 13th win in 16 postseason games. That’s no longer a small sample size, and this is no fluke. That’s a steamroller producing a staggering stat. “You can’t take a breath,” goalie Braden Holtby said. It’s how the Golden Knights play, so cut any notion that this is “just an expansion team.” The path for the Capitals will be difficult enough if they play the right way, the way that has come to define them over the past two months. And that wasn’t the style that showed up on Memorial Day to start the final series of the season. This was insane, back-and-forth stuff, the kind of style the Capitals dismissed long ago. Even if the Capitals had won, it’s not sustainable. “I don’t think we played very good tonight,” said forward Brett Connolly, who scored Washington’s first goal. “We didn’t find our game tonight.” Here are the goals allowed by the Capitals in the 12 games they won en route to the finals, in chronological order: two, one, three, three, one, three, three, one, two, two, zero, zero. That’s an average of 1.75.

On the bright side The performance of the second line — Jakub Vrana, Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie — was a silver lining for the Caps in the series opener. Don’t be surprised if the trio is deployed against Vegas’ top line. BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)

Untenable style: Wide-open play doesn’t favor Caps

The Caps got sucked into a back-and-forth Game 1 and allowed six goals, including this one by William Karlsson.

In the Eastern finals against the Lightning, the Capitals completed a transformation from their old playoff selves. We’re years removed from the time when Alexander Semin and Mike Green joined Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom and defined the Caps with their offensive skill. But in those days, when the playoffs rolled around, it still felt like the Caps were waiting to get on the power play, where they were deadly. That’s a tough way to win in the postseason, when referees ignore their whistles for periods at a time. The current Capitals are a solid, structured team that works for even-strength chances. Washington has scored more five-on-five goals

than any team in the playoffs, more than two per game, and that’s how all four came Monday. They don’t solely thrive in transition — giving up a chance in hopes of turning it back up the ice. “You don’t want to be trading chances with any team,” Connolly said, and it’s true. Vegas’ top line — led by 43-goal scorer William Karlsson — is fearsome. Going up and down with those guys, night after night, would be deadly. But no one on the Caps believes that will continue. “I’m confident we have another level,” coach Barry Trotz said. “To me, that’s exciting.” Follow Barry Svrluga on Twitter @barrysvrluga

T.J. Oshie He had a pair of primary assists and three shots on goal in Game 1. The Caps only had one power play in Game 1, and Vegas limited Alex Ovechkin’s looks. So Oshie, who has a team-high five PP goals in the playoffs, could see even more chances.

A surprise trip to Las Vegas CAPITALS On Thursday, Lorin Hranicka received an email from her boss, Rick Moreland, the senior vice president of executive suites at Monumental Sports & Entertainment. The subject line? “Let’s go to Vegas.” “With like a million exclamation points,” Hranicka said Monday. In the email, Moreland explained that Capitals owner Ted Leonsis had arranged for 200 Monumental Sports & Entertainment full-time employees to make the trip to Las Vegas, where they would be put up in the Excalibur Hotel for one night and receive a ticket to see the Capitals play the Golden Knights in Game 1 or Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. Leonsis is the founder and owner of Monumental Sports. “I just stopped dead in my tracks, I was so excited,” said the 30-year-old Hranicka, an eight-year veteran of the company. She was among the group of Monumental Sports & Entertainment employees rocking

A company spokeswoman said ticket availability prohibited Leonsis from inviting more of Monumental Sports’ roughly 500

full-time employees, so priority was given to employees who work most closely on Capitals-related business; it was also based in part on seniority. Hranicka and the rest of Monday’s traveling party were handed red “All Caps” rally towels as they boarded their 7 a.m. charter flight at Dulles Airport. “It was an early start to the day, but everyone was very, very excited about it,” said Hranicka.

manager who has been with the company for nearly two years, first learned of the trip on Thursday via a call from his boss, who gave him a heads-up that he would soon be receiving an email with details. “I’ve never replied to an email so fast,” Castro said. “I said, yep, I’m good, I can go.” Before this season, Castro, a Puerto Rico native, had never watched a full hockey game. After he was named one of the primary guest relations managers for Capitals games, he became determined to learn the sport by peppering his more experienced colleagues with questions. By the start of this year’s playoffs, he said he had a handle on most of the rules. He was also hooked on the team. He can hardly believe he’ll be making his first trip to Las Vegas on Wednesday. “It’s truly amazing and out of this world,” Castro said. “I never expected an owner of the company to do this. We get to share in this with them. … He’s thinking of us as part of a family, as part of the experience. All I can say is a big thanks to Ted and his family for the opportunity.” SCOTT ALLEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

ELLICOTT CITY, MD. After yet another devastating flash flood ripped apart their historic Maryland town, hundreds of residents and business owners are again asking themselves: Should I stay or should I go? Some people in picturesque Ellicott City — established in 1772 as a Patapsco River mill town surrounded by hills — say they’re determined to rebuild after Sunday’s devastation destroyed buildings and left one person dead. Their hope: to pull together as a community again after the second terrible flood deluged their downtown in less than two years. Simon Cortes, owner of La Palapa Grill & Cantina, said Monday it’s “a horrible time,” and his business took on about a foot of water.

about how much it might cost, on top of the debts they’re still paying from the last time their homes and businesses were destroyed. Nathan Sowers, owner of the River House Pizza Co., an outdoor eatery, said that after all the hard work rebuilding from the July 2016 flood, he’s feeling a bit overwhelmed at the idea of attempting yet another comeback. “We’ll see. It takes a lot of money and a lot of time, a lot of energy. We’ll just have to assess it,” he said. But Sowers said he saw other hard-hit locals laughing and joking about their troubles first thing Monday morning — a good sign the Maryland town will launch yet another rebirth. DAVID MCFADDEN (AP)

local GOP-led legislature set to pass budget today that boosts coverage VIRGINIA Virginia is on the verge of expanding Medicaid after years of partisan battle. The GOP-controlled General Assembly is set to pass a state budget today that’s expected to expand Medicaid eligibility to about 400,000 low-income adults. The vote comes after antiexpansion Republican senators failed Tuesday to block

expansion in a last-ditch parliamentary effort. The House has already passed Medicaid expansion and Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam is a strong proponent. Today’s vote will mark the end of a more than four-year battle over expanding the publicly funded health care program for the poor in Virginia. The fight led to a standoff over the state budget in 2014 and again this year. Democrats have pushed for years to expand Medicaid, saying Virginia should not pass up the roughly $2 billion in extra

federal funding the program will bring to the state. Republicans had previously blocked past expansion efforts, calling the long-term costs unsustainable. Medicaid, a federal-state collaboration originally meant for poor families and severely disabled people, has grown to become the largest government health insurance program, now covering 1 in 5 people. Former President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul gave states the option of expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income adults.

Rep. Tom Garrett’s sudden announcement that he will not seek re-election has turned the race for Congress in Virginia’s conservative 5th District upside down. Four candidates publicly offered themselves as candidates, trying to win the support of the 36-member party committee that will pick the nominee. They are: Denver Riggleman, a distillery owner who ran for governor last year; Marta Boneta, an activist and the only woman in the race so far; developer Jim McKelvey; and state Del. Michael J. Webert.

President Trump is erratic, inconsistent and impulsive on issues large and small, but he is unwavering in his attack on federal unions and in efforts to make life tougher for federal employees. He used his ultimate weapon, his power to issue executive orders, Friday with three directives — two targeting labor organizations and another making it easier to fire feds. The orders were just the latest in a series of steps designed to weaken unions, federal employee compensation and civil service protections. Along with other moves, Trump’s orders potentially could make him one of the more consequential of recent presidents on federal

workforce issues. The executive orders: Sharply cut “official time,” which Trump wants to redefine as “taxpayer-funded union time.” Official time allows union officials to represent all the members of a bargaining unit, whether they are union members or not, in grievances and matters of broad interest to the workforce. Rebuke collective bargaining agreements, saying union contracts “often make it harder for agencies to reward high performers, hold low performers accountable, or flexibly respond to operational needs.” Encourage managers to fire employees instead of suspending them, while discouraging “progressive discipline,” which allows for increasingly severe corrective measures. Federal unions are not

alone in their denunciation of Trump’s orders. Paul C. Light, a New York University public service professor, said they “reinforce the myth of the overpaid, underperforming bureaucrats that has produced so many attacks over the decades.” The orders are in keeping with other actions to belittle federal unions and the pocketbooks of all federal employees. Trump wants to freeze federal pay next year and cut federal retirement benefits by $143.5 billion over 10 years. Trump also wants to speed dismissals and exclude “any dispute concerning decisions to remove any employee from federal service for misconduct or unacceptable performance” from grievance procedures. Praising the orders was Iain Murry, a senior fellow at the small-government Competitive Enterprise Institute. He claims “it has been a long-standing outrage that it is almost impossible to fire a federal civil servant who isn’t up to the job.” Organizations representing federal supervisors and managers are split on Trump’s streamlining procedures. Bill Valdez, president of the Senior Executives Association, said the orders represent “improvements to the performance accountability system,” though he is not sure what the phrase “supervisors and deciding officials should not be required to use progressive discipline” will mean in practice. But the Federal Managers Association (FMA) is apprehensive, even as it calls for civil service reform. FMA President Renee Johnson said, “These executive orders seem to run roughshod over a responsible, deliberate review of the current system, with the possibility of causing real harm to America’s civil service and, therefore, to our country.” Follow Joe Davidson on Twitter @joedavidsonWP

U.S., N. Korea working to revive nuclear talks

ABOUT THAT BURGER ...

Loud music linked to poor food choices

WASHINGTON The United States “continues to actively prepare” for an “expected summit” between President Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in Singapore, the White House said Tuesday as diplomatic efforts were underway on two continents to prepare for the historic meeting. Trump confirmed that a top North Korean official, Kim Yong Chol, is headed to New York for talks with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. It marks the latest sign that prospects for the summit are growing, just days after Trump ostensibly called it off. In addition, teams of U.S. officials have arrived at the Korean demilitarized zone and in Singapore to prepare for the meeting. The summit had been scheduled for June 12 in Singapore, but Trump announced last week in an open letter to Kim that he had decided to “terminate” the meeting following a provocative statement from the North and its decision to skip planning talks and ignore preparatory phone calls. White House officials have characterized the letter from the president to Kim as a negotiating tactic, designed to bring the North back to the table. White House press secretary

Pyongyang sends top official to New York for meeting with Pompeo

North Korea’s Kim Yong Chol, left, a former military intelligence chief, is traveling to New York to meet with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that since the letter, “the North Koreans have been engaging” with the U.S. South Korean media had reported earlier that Kim Yong Chol’s name was on the passenger list for a fight Wednesday from Beijing to New York. Kim was seen in the Beijing airport Tuesday by Associated Press Television. U.S. officials familiar with planning said he was scheduled to meet with Pompeo today. “Meetings are currently taking place concerning Summit, and more. Kim Young Chol, the Vice Chairman of North Korea, heading now to New York,”

Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. “Solid response to my letter, thank you!” Kim Yong Chol is a former military intelligence chief and now a vice chairman of the North Korean ruling party’s central committee. He will be the highest-level North Korean official to travel to the United States since 2000. Pompeo has traveled to Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, twice in recent weeks for meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and has said there is a “shared understanding” between the two sides about what they hope to achieve.

Dipayan Biswas, a professor at the University of South Florida, conducted the study at a cafe in Stockholm, where music was played at 55 decibels and 70 decibels at different times for several days. When music was louder, researchers found that 20 percent more customers ordered unhealthy food, compared to those who dined during quieter times. The study says music can affect our decision-making.

Trump renews threat to place tariffs on China POLITICS The Trump administration has renewed its threat to place 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion of Chinese goods in retaliation for what it says are China’s unfair trade practices. The White House also said Tuesday that it would place new restrictions on Chinese investment into the United States and limit U.S. exports of high-tech goods to China. The threats came just over a week after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the trade conflict between the world’s two largest economies was “on hold.” Mnuchin’s comments followed a commitment by China to significantly increase its purchases of U.S. farm goods and energy products. Commerce Department Secretary Wilbur Ross is scheduled to visit China on Saturday to negotiate the details of that agreement. Some trade experts said the tariff announcement is likely intended to strengthen Ross’ hand. Others say it may be intended to appease congressional critics of a deal Trump made Friday that allowed Chinese telecom giant ZTE Corp. to stay in business. China’s Ministry of Commerce responded in a mild fashion Tuesday, saying the announcement “is contrary to the consensus the two sides have previously reached,” according to China’s official news agency, Xinhua.

Ark. abortion law upheld COURTS The Supreme Court is allowing Arkansas to put in effect restrictions on how abortion pills are administered. Critics of the state law say it could effectively end medication abortions in the state. The justices didn’t comment in rejecting an appeal from the Planned Parenthood affiliate in Arkansas that asked the court to review an appeals court ruling

and reinstate a lower court order that had blocked the law from taking effect. The law says doctors who provide abortion pills must hold a contract with another physician who has admitting privileges at a hospital and would agree to handle complications — and Planned Parenthood says it has been unable to find any able to do so. The legal fight over the restrictions isn’t over, but the state is free to enforce them for the time being. Planned Parenthood said the ruling effectively makes

Arkansas the first state to ban medication abortions. It says preventing women from obtaining medication abortions creates an undue burden, which is the standard the Supreme Court has set to measure whether restrictions go too far in limiting women who want the procedure. The state had argued that the restriction was needed to protect women from any complications from the abortion pills. But Planned Parenthood argued that such complications are rare, and that complications can be handled by hospitals. MARK SHERMAN (AP)

ABC gives Barr the boot

LIEGE, BELGIUM

Man kills 3 using guns from stabbed officers A knife-wielding prison inmate stabbed two female police officers in the Belgian city of Liege, stole their service weapons and shot them and a bystander dead in an attack Tuesday. Justice Minister Koen Geens said the assailant, who was later killed by police, was on a two-day leave from prison. The attacker had been indirectly mentioned in state security reports on radicalization. (AP)

Network cancels the controversial star’s popular sitcom after a racist Twitter rant ABC’s reboot of “Roseanne” was a surprise hit, praised for its portrayal of Trump supporters.

KIEV, UKRAINE

Anti-Kremlin journalist killed outside apartment

ABC

CULTURE ABC canceled its hit reboot of “Roseanne” on Tuesday following star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet that referred to former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett as a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes.” ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey said the comment “is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.” Barr had apologized and deleted her Monday night tweet, calling it a “bad joke,” but the damage had already been done. Barr was also dumped by her talent agency, ICM Partners. The revival of the comedy was a surprise smash for ABC, owned by the Walt Disney Co., and was counted on to lead the network’s fortunes next season. Its first new episode in March was seen by more than 25 million people, with delayed viewing counted in, numbers that are increasingly rare in network television. And it was all killed in a 53-character tweet. One of the few network shows about a working-class family, “Roseanne” attracted considerable attention upon its return when Barr’s character supported President Trump. That made the show popular with conservative viewers, and Trump himself suggested the character’s backing had a lot to do with the show’s success. Barr herself has a history of diving into political conspiracy theories on her Twitter feed, and she ended her Memorial Day weekend with a series of statements. She criticized Democratic financier George Soros and tweeted that Chelsea Clinton was “Chelsea Soros Clinton,” implying she was married to a nephew of Soros. Clinton herself corrected Barr online.

Donald Trump Jr. retweeted two of Barr’s statements about Soros, although not the remark about Jarrett. Jarrett, who is black, was brought up in response to Twitter commentary that raised her name in relation to an Obama conspiracy theory. Barr tweeted: “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” Barr later tweeted an apology to Jarrett. “Forgive me,” she wrote. “My joke was in bad taste.” It was a quick decision at ABC for Dungey, who is the first African-American to serve as programming chief for one of the major broadcast networks, and her boss, network president Ben Sherwood. Bruce Helford, executive producer of “Roseanne,” said he was “personally horrified and saddened by the comments and in no way do they reflect the values of the people who worked so hard to make this the iconic

Quick condemnation Here are some of the key responses on Twitter to Barr’s comments. (AP) Wanda Sykes: “I will not be returning to @RoseanneOnABC,” the comedian — a consulting producer on the show — tweeted before it was canceled. Shonda Rhimes: “But honestly she got what she deserved,” the TV producer tweeted. “As I tell my 4 year old, one makes a choice with one’s actions. Roseanne made a choice. A racist one. ABC made a choice. A human one.” Roger Iger, CEO of Disney: “There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.”

show that it is.” ABC has lately downplayed the show’s political angle. Dungey three weeks ago suggested the show next season would focus more on family

than politics. The NAACP applauded ABC’s actions on Tuesday. “Roseanne Barr’s comments were appalling and reminiscent of horrific time in our history when racism was not only acceptable but promoted by Hollywood,” said Derrick Johnson, NAACP president and CEO. “We applaud ABC for taking a stand against racism by canceling ‘Roseanne.’ We commend the network and ... Dungey for placing the values of diversity, inclusion and respect for humanity above ratings.” ICM talent agency dropped Barr within hours of the cancellation, saying in a statement that the agency was “greatly distressed by the disgraceful and unacceptable” tweet. In addition, The Wrap reported on Tuesday that cable conglomerate Viacom is pulling “Roseanne” reruns from its Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT channels. DAVID BAUDER (AP)

PUERTO RICO At least 4,645 people died as a result of Hurricane Maria and its devastation across Puerto Rico last year, according to a new Harvard study released Tuesday, an estimate that far exceeds the official government death toll, which stands at 64. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that health care disruption for the elderly and the loss of basic utility services for the chronically ill had significant impacts across the U.S. territory, which was thrown into chaos after the September hurricane wiped out the electrical grid and caused widespread damage to infrastructure. Some communities were entirely cut off for weeks amid road closures and communications failures. Researchers calculated the number of deaths by surveying nearly 3,300 randomly chosen households across the island and comparing the estimated

University experts to review the government’s death certification process. Lynn Goldman, dean of GW’s Milken Institute School of Public Health, expects an initial report to be released in the coming weeks. Experts are assessing statistical mortality data and plan to dive into medical records and to interview family members of those who have died. (TWP)

post-hurricane death rate to the mortality rate for the year before. Their surveys indicated that the mortality rate was 14.3 deaths per 1,000 residents from Sept. 20 through Dec. 31, 2017, a 62 percent increase in the mortality rate compared to 2016, or 4,645 “excess deaths.” The official toll included an array of people from across Puerto Rico, such as those who suffered injuries, were swept away in floodwaters or were unable to reach hospitals while facing severe medical conditions.

The new study indicates there probably were thousands more who died in the weeks and months that followed but were not counted. The Harvard researchers reported that there are several reasons the death toll in Puerto Rico has been drastically underestimated. Every disasterrelated death, they said, must be confirmed by the government’s Forensic Sciences Institute, which requires that bodies go to San Juan or that a medical examiner travel to the local municipality. And it can be difficult to track indirect deaths from a worsening of chronic conditions due to the storm. The researchers said the government of Puerto Rico stopped sharing mortality data with the public in December 2017. The authors wrote: “As the United States prepares for its next hurricane season, it will be critical to review how disasterrelated deaths will be counted, in order to mobilize an appropriate response operation and account for the fate of those affected.” ARELIS R.

CAVALIERS AT WARRIORS | GAME 1: 9 P.M. THURSDAY, ABC

CONCUSSION PROTOCOL

Warriors finally find cure for complacency

Love waiting to be cleared for NBA Finals

ANALYSIS The Warriors spent the past seven months telling the world they would be fine. But at halftime in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals, everything was decidedly not fine. The Warriors trailed the Rockets by 11 points, and they had spent first 24 minutes looking lethargic and apathetic. It appeared, finally, that Golden State was about to pay for its hubris. Only it didn’t. The Warriors emerged with a 101-92 victory and their fourth straight berth in the NBA Finals. The Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers will travel for Game 1 on Thursday in Oakland. Trailing 54-43 at halftime, Golden State looked dead. But Stephen Curry exploded for 14 of his 27 points in the third quarter, helping Golden State — the league’s best third-quarter team over this four-year run under coach Steve Kerr — to a 33-15 advantage in the period. Kevin Durant scored 11 of his gamehigh 34 points in the fourth. A fourth straight finals against Cleveland was expected when this season tipped off seven months ago. The way the matchup came to be, however, was unpredictable. While Cleveland has gone

through one crisis after another to make it back, Golden State was always supposed to be here. All year, the Warriors have assumed they would replicate last season, when they cruised to 67 victories before going 16-1 in the playoffs and winning the championship. That cockiness led to Golden State looking only mildly engaged at times and completely disinterested at others for all 82 regular-season games — and the first two rounds of the playoffs. It took a team as talented as the Rockets — which led the NBA with 65 wins this season and built

a roster specifically to challenge Golden State — to finally make the Warriors look vulnerable. By taking a 3-2 series lead and going up by 17 after the first quarter of Game 6, the Rockets made Golden State uncomfortable. The Warriors responded by outscoring Houston 93-47 over the final three quarters to force a Game 7, then shook off another poor start to win the series clincher. After seven months of insisting everything would work out just fine in the end, the Warriors ensured that it did. Now the NBA Finals await.

Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love remained in concussion protocol Tuesday, and coach Tyronn Lue said the fivetime All-Star’s status for Game 1 of the NBA Finals was still unclear. The Cavs traveled to San Francisco on Tuesday and will face the Warriors in the finals for a fourth straight year. Love missed Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals at Boston after banging heads with Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum in the previous game. Jeff Green started for Love in Game 7 and scored 19 points with eight rebounds. Love, 29, is averaging 13.9 points and 10.0 rebounds this postseason. (AP)

MISSED 3-POINTERS

The number of missed 3-point shots by the Rockets in their Game 7 loss to the Warriors, the record for most in a playoff game. The Rockets shot 15.9 percent (7-of-44) from beyond the arc Monday in Houston, missing 27 straight 3s at one point. Starting forward Trevor Ariza, left, was 0-for-12 from the field and 0-for-9 from 3. Chris Paul, who was 9-of-18 from 3 in Games 3 and 4, missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.

Serena wins her first match of French Open TENNIS Serena Williams on Tuesday won her first Grand Slam match as a mother — and her first match at a major in 16 months. Williams beat 70th-ranked Kristyna Pliskova of the Czech Republic 7-6 (4), 6-4 at the French Open to reach the second round in Paris. Williams, 36, hadn’t competed at a Grand Slam tournament since the Australian Open in January 2017, when she earned her 23rd major championship while pregnant. Williams gave birth to a daughter last September. After her victory, she responded to a report that she recently played beer pong as part of the royal wedding festivities. “Not even remotely true. ... I don’t even drink beer,” she said. Two-time Grand Slam winner Garbine Muguruza, who beat Williams in the 2016 French final, opened her tournament with a 7-6 (0), 6-2 win over another former Roland Garros champ, Russia’s Svetlana Kuznetsova. In men’s play, Rafael Nadal narrowly avoided dropping a set at the French Open for the first time in three years and finished off a rain-interrupted 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over 129th-ranked Simone Bolelli of Italy. Nadal is chasing a record-extending 11th championship at Roland Garros Jurgen Zopp, a 30-year-old from Estonia, scored a 6-7 (4), 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 upset of Jack Sock, the 25-year-old American ranked No. 14.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Mendes goes fragile and soulful

Jackie Lee bounces back big The cancer survivor channeled the worst year of his life into his music usic MUSIC In September 2016, country singer Jackie Lee was headed to a songwriting session when he knew something was wrong. It was three months after his mother died of cancer, so nothing had really felt normal since then. But this was different. He wasn’t in pain and he didn’t feel sick, exactly — it was “a weird intuition,” he says. Multiple doctor visits, an ultrasound and one surgery later, Lee, then 25, was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Lee shared the diagnosis with his father and manager, and was truly conflicted over whether he should tell any anyone else. His family was still reeling from his mother’s mother s death, and he was worried about

how people might react. So in early 2017, Lee kept things quiet as he continued going in for routine scans. In between, he still toured and wrote songs. However, as months went by, things started to pile up: He broke up with his longtime girlfriend. He parted ways with his label. And in August, the doctor called: A scan revealed the cancer had returned, and this time, he would need chemotherapy. Lee completed his final treatment in January, and he now wants to let everyone know everything: Last week, he released “Long Year,” an achingly emotional autobiographical song. The music video chronicles his cancer battle, with footage he filmed while going through chemo. whil

On the ‘Comeback’ trail Jackie Lee’s newest song, called “Comeback,” dropped Thursday night. To Lee, it’s an all-too-fitting way to kick off his new era, as the song — technically about a relationship — works on multiple levels. “It’s more of a physical comeback, an emotional comeback, a spiritual recovery,” says Lee’s producer, Aaron Eshuis. E.Y.

“I was really on the fence about this,” Lee says. “I just didn’t want this to be what I was known for my whole life.” However, his producer, Aaron Eshuis, said these magic words: “This isn’t your story. This is just a part of your story.”

Even though getting so personal is mildly terrifying, he feels it’s the perfect opportunity to cement a new direction as a country artist. One of the biggest challenges when he moved to Nashville at age 18 was to set himself apart. He had an impressive voice, yet he still had to figure out the critical question: What did he really want to say? So he leaned on his late mother’s influence for motivation. “I feel like I learned more from my mom this year than I did in That’s the other 25,” Lee says. “That’s what I think about constantly ntly — she didn’t raise me to be a wimp … or make excuses. I’m not ot going to do that. I’m going to carry on the legacy of who she he is.”

Shawn Mendes has a knack for pop hooks, but his self-titled album, which came out Friday, has a quieter, funkier and more soulful vibe. The record opens unconventionally for a pop collection, with Mendes fighting depression in the rocker “In My Blood.” He gets in a welcome R&B groove for the lovely, aching “Lost in Japan” and goes on to admit self-consciousness in “Nervous” and vulnerability in “Where Were You in the Morning?” Mendes then teams up with Khalid on “Youth,” a beautiful union of two of the most exciting millennial voices pushing back against the old order. It’s a song as timely as you can get and a defiant step out of Mendes’ fragile world. MARK KENNEDY (AP)

Peeking behind a concert’s curtain Dierks Bentley offers a look at the final night before a summer tour MUSIC Though it’s not officially summer, it is officially summer tour season: Entertainers including Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney have already started elaborate concerts that will take them through the next few months, usually outdoors. Country star Dierks Bentley kicked off his “Mountain High” tour on Friday at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md. Before that, he offered The Washington Post a chance to go behind-the-scenes Thursday for his final tour rehearsal. Here’s what went down.

As Bentley took the stage at 9:40 p.m., he was performing in front of roughly 20 people — in an amphitheater that can hold about 20,000. These performances are a nice treat for, say, the tour bus and truck drivers, who typically sleep through the real shows so

they can wake up and drive to the next city through the night. Bentley acted as if he would in front of the real crowd, however, running through the aisles and holding out the microphone so the audience could finish certain lyrics.

Even after months of prep, artists can always find things to fix. Bentley found himself on high alert for potential last-minute adjustments. He felt the band was standing too far apart during “Up On the Ridge” when they kicked into the high-energy bluegrass song, for example. On “Tip It Back,” he caught a glimpse of himself on an enormous screen and said, “That is way too hi-def.”

It gets a little awkward to put on a raucous show and receive a smattering of applause from 20 people. “And the crowd goes mild!” Bentley joked to the empty seats after a particularly rollicking song. He also acknowledged he was fairly anxious to perform in front of an audience. “I hope more people show up tomorrow,” he said. EMILY YAHR (THE WASHINGTON POST)

stanley cup final

Caps look to bounce back After suffering a 6-4 loss Monday in a wild Game 1 in Las Vegas, the Capitals can take solace in how the rest of their postseason has played out this year. Washington also lost its series openers in the first round against Columbus and in the Eastern Conference semifinals against Pittsburgh before rallying to eliminate the Blue Jackets and Penguins. Here are five more storylines to watch as the Capitals attempt to even the finals in Game 2 tonight before the series heads back to Washington. BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)

AP AND GETTY IMAGES

Holtby resets after allowing five Vegas goals

Stars didn’t score

Vegas leaders hot

Wilson’s impact

Rare slip from Fleury

Calmer nerves

Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov have been instrumental in leading the Capitals to the Stanley Cup Final — in 20 games, the captain has 23 points and the first-line center has 25 — but neither talented scorer found the net in a Game 1 that featured 10 goals. Ovechkin, who acknowledged that he felt nerves in his Stanley Cup Final debut, was limited to two shots on goal at even strength, both in the first period and none in two minutes on the power play. He did find Tom Wilson for a go-ahead goal 1:10 into the third period, and Kuznetsov got the secondaryy assist. second

While the Capitals will look for more production from their No. 1 line, the Golden Knights’ top trio of Jonathan Marchessault, William Karlsson and Reilly Smith will simply be looking for more of the same. The line was effective at both ends of the ice, scoring twice and firing eight shots on goal. Together, they are now responsible for 37 percent of Vegas’ scoring in the postseason. Marchessault’s assist in the second period gave him 19 points in 16 playoff games, a record for a player representing a team in its inaugural playoff appearance.

Tom Wilson made his presence felt Monday night with a game-high nine hits, including a late open-ice hit on Marchessault that drew a two-minute penalty for interference. Wilson did not receive any supplementary discipline, but he certainly caught the Golden Knights’ attention. Don’t be surprised if Wilson mixes it up with Vegas’ Ryan Reaves, who scored a tying goal in the third period after getting away with a crosscheck on John Carlson. NBC’s Mike Milbury said the missed call was “unforgivable.” Wilson would be wise to avoid a five-minute fighting major.

Although the Capitals acknowledge they were not at their best in Game 1, neither was Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. For that reason, Monday may have been a missed opportunity for Washington. Fleury is now 13-3 in these playoffs with a 1.81 goals-against average, a .942 save percentage and four shutouts. In 131 career playoff games, he’s had a 2.54 goals-against average, so the Caps are unlikely to score four again. After giving up four goals in Game 1 of the Western finals, Fleury allowed six goals in his next four games combined.

Both teams are loaded with Stanley Cup Final first-timers, but at least Vegas was comfortable at T-Mobile Arena, where it improved to 7-1 in the playoffs. Elaborate pregame ceremonies, including a sword fight featuring a Golden Knight and an official “Let’s get ready to rumble!” from Michael Buffer, made for a raucous atmosphere, and the Caps appeared tentative with just one shot attempt from a forward in the game’s first 10 minutes. “Next game is going to be different,” Ovechkin said. “All the nervousness, all the bad things go away [tonight].”

KNIGHTS’ UNLIKELY HERO

Nosek gives fourth line a lift

The expansion Golden Knights are a team built of castoffs and misfits, so it was appropriate that the game-winning goal Monday was scored by a 25-year-old fourth-line winger who entered the regular season with 17 games of NHL experience. Tomas Nosek, who this time last year was helping the Grand Rapids Griffins win an AHL championship, scored the last two goals in Game 1, the first multi-goal game of his career. (EXPRESS)

*Game 6: June 10 in D.C. (8, NBC)

NHL PLAYOFFS After 60 minutes of hockey and a 10-goal game, the Capitals skated off the ice Monday in Las Vegas. In short order, Elvis, too, had left the building. So did his pal, Elvis, and his other friend Elvis and the whole crew of Elvis impersonators who watched Game 1 from the first two rows. The opening scene of these Stanley Cup finals was surreal from just about every angle, perhaps none as surprising as the one seen from inside Braden Holtby’s mask. The Golden Knights’ 6-4 victory was both a spectacle and a goal-scoring clinic put on by Vegas’ fourth line. Holtby and the Caps’ defensive units had their worst showing of the playoffs, giving up four even-strength goals, a power-play score and a late empty-netter. Holtby hadn’t allowed more than four goals in a game since Feb. 17. Back then, he was in midst of a midseason slump that saw the Caps drop six straight with him in net. In May, Holtby has looked like a different player, calmer and more composed, and he entered the finals coming off back-to-back shutouts to close out Tampa Bay. Then Vegas hung five on him. Holtby had a day to process the weirdness and study each goal that slipped past him, analyze why and then move on. “That’s one of Braden’s strengths … He’s got a short memory,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. “He moves forward.” RICK MAESE (THE WASHINGTON POST)
