For the final stop on their Best of Times World Tour, Godsmack takes on Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena. Being from the Boston area, this show is the closest to a hometown show the band has gotten on this tour. Frontman Sully Erna even mentioned that many of his family members were out in the crowd.

These Alternative Metal giants released a new album back in February entitled Lighting Up The Sky. After almost five years since their previous release, the band returned kicking and screaming with their eighth studio album and subsequent world tour.

After the brief break following the Austin Meade set, the audience returned, beers in hand, as the lights went down. A mashup of classic hard rock tunes began to play as blue and red lights flashed throughout the packed arena.

The curtain in front of the stage dropped, and the audience cheered… until they realised there was still another curtain separating them from the start of the show. Finally, the final curtain fell, and we were off to the races with Godsmack.Godsmack – Mohegan Sun Arena – 28 May 2023. Photo: Shannon Wilk/MetalTalk

“Alright, Mohegan,” yells frontman Sully Erna as drums begin to pound. Godsmack has quite the light show, and this first song, When Legends Rise, was only a fraction of what was to come for the rest of the…

Fast winners in Tuesday Pocono features

May 30, 2023, by PHHA for Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania

Wilkes-Barre, PA – Ever since the Game Of Claims Series earlier in the spring, the Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania Race Office has been able to keep together multiple divisions of the top claiming handicap trotters, and on Tuesday (May 30) afternoon two $15,500 sections were featured.

The Wheeling N Dealin gelding Diehard Seelster parlayed a pocket trip into a victory for the second straight week in the faster division, gaining into a :28.2 last quarter for driver Marcus Miller to take an easy victory in a 1:54.4 mile, a tick off the lifetime mark he set last week. However, if Diehard Seelster is to run his winning streak to three, he’ll be doing it for different connections, for the horse was claimed from owner Jerry Zollo and trainer Marc Mosher for his $25,000 tag.

In the other division the Muscle Mass gelding Dart Guy came up with the mile of his life, grinding first-over to the lead and holding off the field in a lifetime best of 1:55.3. You don’t often get 20-1 on driver Matt Kakaley at Pocono, but you did here if you backed the Steven Brabrook-trained trotter, owned by Jaypaul Hoover.

There were also four divisions of the $15,000 “nw 4 races” class for the various gaits and sexes. Two of the races were for trotters, and trainer/driver Åke Svanstedt won both with 3-year-old fillies bred on the Continent.

Pure Hope S was certainly impressive in her 2023 debut, making the lead at the quarter and then striding home in :27.3 to…

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Taj McWilliams Franklin — “Mama Taj, Grandma Taj,” as she was commonly known to hall of famer Lindsay Whalen and countless other players who crossed paths with McWilliams-Franklin — stared into the rafters of Mohegan Sun Arena last Sunday afternoon. She watched as the Connecticut Sun slowly unveiled a fresh new Sun Legends banner including her No. 11 jersey.

McWilliams-Franklin, who was joined by Sun President, Jen Rizzotti; Mystics general manager and former Sun head coach, Mike Thibault; and two members of the Mohegan Tribal Council at center court, tried to hold back tears as she stood at a podium in an arena where she spent the majority of her WNBA playing career. She stepped back and took a deep breath as she soaked up the moment and what it meant to her.

“I never thought I would be here,” McWilliams-Franklin told the Sun faithful who stayed after the game to watch the ceremony. “You belong here!” a fan from across the court interjected loud enough to kickstart another eruption of applause from the crowd. “I just wanted to be part of something special,” McWilliams-Franklin continued. “And I found that here in Connecticut.”

McWilliams-Franklin was drafted by the Orlando Miracle in the third round of the 1999 draft and spent eight years with the franchise (four years with Orlando and four years in Connecticut) before playing into her 40s for various other WNBA teams.

She helped guide the Sun to two WNBA Finals in 2004 and 2005, won a championship with the Detroit Shock in 2008 and was part of the starting lineup that helped push the Minnesota Lynx to their first WNBA title in 2011.

During her time with the franchise, McWilliams-Franklin earned five All-Star appearances (1999-2001, 2005, 2006), made the All-Defensive Second…
