Christian Post Report – After Sony started pushing the Android 5.0 Lollipop updates to the Xperia Z2 and the Xperia Z3 Compact in March, the company recently announced that they will start rolling out the much awaited update to other Z series phones.

Starting April 13, Sony has the following phones lined up for updates: the Xperia Z Ultra, the Xperia Z3 Dual, the Xperia Z1 and the Xperia Z1 Compact.

According to a report in iDigitalTimes, the update will be made available through Over-The-Air or OTA. In order for phone owners to check if they are eligible for an update, they must go to Settings, then About Phone, then System Updates and select Check for Updates. The rollout is likely to happen in phases so users are advised to check for updates once in a while. It is also important that the phone is fully charged as downloading the update may take some time.

After this line up, the next Sony phones that will receive the update are the dual-SIM phones, the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra and the Xperia C3. The rollout for these will start next week.

A report in Tech Times cited that the next in line are the older Xperia Z phone models. This will complete Sony’s promise that the Lollipop update will be provided to its Xperia Z series. The models included are the Xperia Z, the Xperia ZR and the Xperia ZL. The Xperia Tablet Z is also said to receive the update.

The report also said that although Sony has made the update available to the said phones, rollout is still very much dependent on the different mobile carriers in the different countries.

Sony is one of the few mobile phone makers who made it a point to bring the OS update even to older models of its flagship phones, the Z series. Owners of non-Z series phones however are still waiting for news if the update will ever reach their phones.

Christian Post Report – Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins go against the New York Rangers defense.

The New York Rangers try to go 2-0 up on the Pittsburgh Penguins as they meet at Madison Square Garden in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference in the NHL playoffs on Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the NBC network, or online through live stream (details below).

In the first game, New York took the first game after a 2-1 win thanks to early goals.

Derick Brassard scored in one of the fastest goals in NHL playoff history after only converting in 28 seconds of the first period.

It set-up the momentum of the game as New York continued to press on with the early lead.

They were able to find the second goal while in a power play as Ryan McDonagh scored on a slap shot assisted by Keith Yandle and Mats Zuccarello.

Pittsburgh had to wait for the 27th minute before scoring their opener as Blake Comeau beat the Rangers’ defense to cut the lead down to one goal.

Unfortunately, they could not add to their goal tally as they were blanked in the final period for New York to come away with the win.

New York dominated most of the match, eventually finishing the game with 38 total shots on goal, while Pittsburgh only had 25.

Henrik Lundqvist was also impressive, as he stopped 24 attempts from the Penguins as they proved that they were still a force in the conference.

Marc-Andre Fleury started off shaky in the first period but eventually got his bearings back to finish off the game strong. His 36 saves were good enough for a 95% save rate and hopefully he can bring it over to the second game as they try to get one in New York.

Another win for the Rangers will give them a big advantage as the third game is at Pittsburgh, meanwhile, if the Penguins get to steal a game in New York, then home advantage goes their way as the next two games will be played in front of their home crowd.

Christian Post Report – Sebastian Vettel, who is now competing for Ferrari, won his first trophy on Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia Grand Prix for the current Formula One season. Right after receiving his accolades, the 27-year-old German driver pays tribute to the racetrack legend, Michael Schumacher.

“It’s been my dream, Michael was my hero. All the kids at the go-kart track looked up to him,” Vettel said. “When he turned up to shake hands every year it made our lives. I don’t understand yet how special it is.”

The racer meanwhile took the chance to express his gratitude to the people of Scuderia Ferrari for their warm welcome and the eager support they have given him.

In terms of legacy, Schumacher’s son, Mick, is also reported to be running his way for glory just like his father in Formula 1.

A report from the Daily Mail said that the 16-year-old has returned to the racing circuit just weeks after the 100mph crash in the Lausitzring speedway in Brandenburg, eastern Germany.

As said by the report, he was travelling at speeds of up to 100mph when he “skidded out of control.” Fortunately, the crash was nothing serious. He walked away from the track unharmed.

“Of course we know that his father is a seven-time world champion,” coach Frits van Amersfoort said. “But I want to emphasize that Mick will take the time to learn the trade of the racing driver.”

As for Schumacher’s current condition, it has been reported that the recovery rate of the seven-time F1 Racing champion has been very slow.

Philippe Streiff, a former Formula 1 driver like Schumacher told a French media outlet earlier this year that Schumi “has yet to recover the power of speech” but he’s “nevertheless starting to recognise those close to him.”

Christian Post Report – After dropping the first game at home, the Tampa Bay Lightning will try to rebound against the Detroit Red Wings in Game 2 of their NHL playoff match in the Eastern Conference.

Game 2 will start on April 18, 2015 at 3:00 PM ET, and can be watched on TV on the NBC network or online through live stream (details below).

Pavel Datsyuk celebrates his goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It was veteran Pavel Datsyuk who displayed his usual brilliance in the first game as he scored a tip-in in the 10th minute of the first period to give Detroit the lead.

Tampa Bay had an answer as Brian Boyle scored a short-handed goal after five minutes to keep things level after the first period.

However, Datsyuk had more up his sleeve as nifty re-direction stunned the Tampa Bay defense as he scored in only eight seconds of the second period.

Mesmerized by his performance, Tampa Bay could not find an answer and saw themselves failing to capitalise against an aging and lower-seeded squad.

In fact, Luke Glendening scored a short-handed goal for Detroit in the third period to go up 3-1.

Nikita Nesterov answered back for Pittsburgh with a goal in the 49th but they could not find the game-tying goal to extend the game.

With the win, Detroit now hold the home advantage heading into Game 2.

For Tampa Bay, it is important that they get this second game at home in order to restore some order in the series for if they fall for a second straight time at home, the next two games at Detroit could be their final games of the season.

Detroit will look to get another big win in order to have a big advantage of moving on to the next round of the competition.

Christian Post Report – Real Madrid will host struggling Malaga at Estadio Santiago Bernabeau in the Spanish La Liga. The match is on April 18, 2015 at 2 p.m. ET.

Two points behind Barcelona as of this time, Madrid have pulled off three straight wins since their loss to the Catalans late in March. They thrashed Granada 9-1 behind five goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, before visiting Rayo Vallecano and leaving with a 2-0 victory. In their home clash against Eibar, Ronaldo, Javier Hernandez and Jesse Rodriguez scored for the Los Blancos as they comfortably collected three points.

With only a handful of matches left in the season, Madrid must continue to keep getting maximum points and hope that Barcelona stumble along the way in order to retake their place atop the standings.

Meanwhile, Malaga are seventh in the league and are five points behind Villarreal for the final UEFA Europa League spot.

Despite the difference mathematically reachable with seven games left in their schedule, Malaga’s form has been less than impressive. They have not won in their last four league games, alternating losses and draws.

Losses to Rayo Vallecano and Eibar alternate with a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad and 2-2 against Atletico Madrid.

In their first meeting this season, Madrid won 2-1 behind goals from Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale. Roque Santa Cruz got a consolation goal late in the game but the points went to the visitors.

In that match, Madrid played with 10 men for the last minutes after Isco was sent off for his second yellow card. It was an intense game, with six total cards issued on both teams and a total of 27 fouls were committed.

Malaga have never won in the Bernabeau, while Madrid have beaten their opponents four straight times.
