Seeing Patric Hornqvist at the Pens-Preds game brings up a fave tidbit

Hornqvist was the last pick drafted in the 2005 NHL Draft, the same draft where Sidney Crosby went 1st

Hornqvist would score the Cup-clinching goal for Crosby and the Pens AGAINST the Preds in 2017.

Oregon fan in a Slipknot fit in Iowa is diabolical

For the Jays, that was like

Gretzky slash on Gilmour
Roenick goal
Patrice Bergeron
The 2020 bubble
The 3-1 series collapse in 2021
Nick Paul
Brad Marchand

All in one night

Will Smith HR or Wayne Gretzky slash on Doug Gilmour

Been watching MLB since 1985

If I had to pick in order the best World Series of my watching lifetime from an entertainment perspective:

2001
2016
1986
2011
1991
1997
1985 (Game 6 got me hooked)

If Tom Niedenfuer was pitching for the Dodgers, this game would've been over.

Nothing can stop a test of the Emergency Alert System, not even the World Series

That ball needed to be kicked so far out of bounds and it just wasn't. Bad job by the Bears.

Saturday Night Live did a skit that involved Matt Prater in 2011 during the height of Tebow Mania.

Prater still delivering winning kicks 14 years later.

The pose? Iconic

His hockey career? Legendary.

He won a Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe in 1971 and THEN won the Calder the next year ... 6 Cups total

His post career? Inspiring.

Ken Dryden will forever be more than just the Hall of Fame goalie.

Mike McCarthy truly is no longer the coach of the Cowboys .... They just had great clock management at the end of the first half

Now might be a good time if the Stars wanna make a Jason Robertson trade 😁

When I finally get a chance to see The Naked Gun, I can only hope this new version makes me laugh like this scene did in the original

+Grateful Dead w/ Steve Miller Band

+Faith No More/Metallica/Guns N Roses

+Aerosmith

+Primus w/ U2

Story by @downgoesbrown.bsky.social about best of 7 change got me thinking about greatest "What If?" series: 1991 NJ vs PIT

- what if Weinrich doesn't mess the pop up in Game 3?

- what if it was best of 5?

- what if Pietrangelo doesn't make The Save?

- what if replay overturns Boschman no goal?

Chuck Mangione played the National Anthem before Dave Righetti's no-hitter on July 4, 1983 and then serenaded him after the game.

Chris Kreider's 22 goals and 8 assists isn't really a Cy Young type season

I'd put it more in the Vida Blue, Orel Hershiser, Matt Morris type season

Remember when a Metro team could go into Florida and win twice in a 3-day span

Best quirky playoff stat since Matt Murray won 2 Stanley Cup titles as a rookie.
Logan Stankoven making the Western Conference Final and Eastern Conference Final in his first two NHL seasons is pretty sick

At least one streak continues

The Devils franchise has never been swept in a best-of-7 series.

They may lose in 5 a lot, but not 4.

Tampa is the best 5v5 team in the game. With fewer power plays than ever before, the teams that are best at 5v5 will prevail.
April 19, 2025 at 1:19 PM
How many 5v5 goals did the Rangers score vs the Devils this season?

Zero.

They had 3 power play goals and 1 at 3v3 in OT.
