With John MacLean on same stage as Dano & Shanny, got me on how fun '88 Devs were

- OT goal to make playoffs for 1st time & eliminate NYR

- End Denis Potvin's career with 6-game win over NYI

- Win Gm 7 in Landover

- Have another donut and get within 1 game of Cup Final

Ondrej Palat is responsible for the only playoff success the Devils had since they made the Cup Final in 2012.

His play led to the only goal the Devils needed in 2023 Game 7 vs the Rangers

After the Devils won at the Caps on Nov. 15, they had the most points in the Eastern Conference.

If they lose in regulation tonight, there is a scenario where the Devils could wake up tomorrow with the worst points percentage in the Eastern Conference.

Leading goal scorers since Dec. 4, 2024

Leading goal scorers since Dec. 4, 2024

Here are the players who have scored 50+ regular season goals since the 4 Nations Face-Off rosters were announced on Dec. 4, 2024

Two of these four players are still not certainties for the upcoming Olympics in Morgan Geekie and Jason Robertson

Watching this Rangers-Blackhawks dark on dark jersey color game ...

Got me thinking about the complaints the NFL got when they had the color rush dark on dark Bills-Jets game

Such is parity life in the NHL Eastern Conference....

With a win, the Red Wings went from being the 2nd team out of the playoffs to 1st place in the Atlantic Division

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.

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

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

Remember the contest CBC had after they lost the rights to the song in 2008? The "Canadian Gold" version was actually really good.

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

This is a fantastic take

Slide Away - Best start to finish
Acquiesce - Anthemic
Live Forever - Beauty
Listen Up - Goosebumps

And the Unplugged versions of Live Forever and Listen Up just spectacular

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

+Genesis (I sat by myself at 15)

+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?

I know pitching wins isn't the be all-end all for pitcher success but ...

Righetti won 14 games in 1983 as a starter

Then he won 12 games all in relief in 1985

Then he set the single-season record for saves in 1986 (since broken).

He had such a unique, successful career

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