@brianmlucey I was sitting in a seat on one flight. One of the cabin crew came over and thanked me for not sitting on the floor.

I was traveling back from a holiday. Las Palmas de Canaria. With my family On an airplane I was in seat 27D on Ryanair. A man came down the aisle He said "scuze me is this 27C?" "Ah no, its D lad" "Ah grand, sorry" "No bother" The cabin crew didn't notice.

@Kingstorian @LAKings Harry Neale's commentary was often inane. McSorley the goon's flying elbow was intent to injure. Wendel stepped up - where was the equivalent from the team when Matthews went down this year?

On May 17, 1993, @LAKings defenseman Marty McSorley laid out Doug Gilmour with an open ice hit in Game 1 of the Campbell Conference Final. The #LAKings lost 4-1 to Toronto at the historic Maple Leaf Gardens. #GoKingsGo

@canuckshistoryx Genuine nvt job.

This day in Vancouver #Canucks history, May 17, 1995: Gino Odjick takes on the Blues’ Bill Houlder, Glenn Anderson and Adam Creighton late in an 8-2 loss in Game 6 of the first round. Odjick was assessed 39 PIM during the game. 🎥: pjstock20 / YouTube

@MitchyGallo TL;DR

Here are my three takeaways from tonight’s 8-3 Montreal Canadiens loss to the Buffalo Sabres in Game 6, brought to you by Snap Bar Sportif in Rigaud. 1- What happened...?! Everyone in the building and everyone on the Canadiens bench had to be thinking the same thing: how did things unravel so quickly? Montreal looked completely in control and well on their way to punching their ticket to the Eastern Conference Final. They scored on their first three shots on goal, one at even strength, one on the power play and one shorthanded. They chased Alex Lyon from the crease and forced Lindy Ruff into an early goalie change. The Bell Centre was in a celebratory mood and the Sabres looked lifeless with no answer for Montreal’s early push. But everything changed abruptly when Mike Matheson took a four-minute high-sticking penalty. Buffalo capitalized with Jason Zucker scoring on a bit of a broken play, giving the Sabres life. To Montreal’s credit, they followed that goal with a couple of dominant offensive-zone shifts, but they couldn’t extend the lead and instead headed into the intermission up by just one. The second period completely belonged to Buffalo. For the second time in the game, and continuing a troubling trend, Montreal allowed a goal in the opening minute of the period. The Sabres then got goals from Jack Quinn and Konsta Helenius, and for the first time all playoffs, the Bell Centre went quiet. You have to give Buffalo credit for refusing to quit. Now, for the second time this postseason, Montreal will have to go on the road and win a Game 7 to keep its season alive. 2- Slafkovsky has his worst game of the postseason Juraj Slafkovsky had a disaster of an opening shift and things never got better from there. He blew a tire in the neutral zone, turning the puck over and sending the Sabres the other way. He then chased Rasmus Dahlin and pulled more of a fly-by than an actual defensive play, giving Buffalo’s captain a clear lane to the net and another early lead. The rest of the night wasn’t any better for Montreal’s young budding star. He couldn’t handle the puck and seemed to either fumble it or turn it over every time it came his way. On the power play, he was a dead spot on the ice. Last game, Slafkovsky finished with three assists and was one of Montreal’s most impactful forwards. Game 6 could not have gone any differently. There’s really been no middle ground for Slafkovsky in these playoffs. He’s either been terrific or he’s struggled mightily. On a team filled with young players, he’s probably shown the biggest highs and lows. He’s getting a crash course in playoff hockey. 3- Turn the page A lot of the issues that plagued Montreal during the regular season resurfaced in Game 6. It was another poor start, allowing the opening goal of the game. It was another rough night on the penalty kill, a unit that has been operating below 80 percent in the playoffs and gave up three more goals. And maybe most concerning, home ice once again meant very little. Montreal’s home record in these playoffs now falls to 2-4. Last round against Tampa Bay, the Canadiens actually played a strong Game 6 but ran into a locked-in Andrei Vasilevskiy, who essentially stole the game. That wasn’t the case tonight. Against Buffalo, Montreal was thoroughly outplayed in almost every measurable category and simply couldn’t match the desperation level the Sabres brought with their season on the line. The one positive is that by taking a 3-2 series lead, the Canadiens gave themselves multiple chances to eliminate Buffalo while the Sabres had no margin for error. Montreal already found a way to win a Game 7 on the road once in these playoffs. Now we’ll see if they can do it again. @tsn690

@PlatoonGhost Cowshit is better than horseshit.

Stone temple pilots are way better than Pearl Jam

@BizNasty2point0 Next time the Habs are ahead, don't jinx them. Please STFU, champ.

Jake Evans shorthanded. 3-1 Habs. Lyon gets the hook. The streets are going fucking BANANAS outside. This is over. We knew this was coming.

@MarkDiStef @john_macgowan "indices".

@john_macgowan The investing in indexes and collecting 9% for doing literally nothing also benefits from not destroying your nerves/health/family becoming a degen gambler

I don't know as much about growing wealth through shares as Matt (or anyone else for that matter) but I do know a lot about losing it through gambling. Compared to 9% to -13% pa on the ASX, -40 to -45% Powerball EV still isn't viable with the tax changes versus same stake on the ASX. Poker is -5% to 20% EV, but remember poker winnings aren't always tax free. An irregular game, even at a high stake is fine, but you're never going to consistently make 20%+ on that. Good players trigger a lot of the thresholds for the ATO, not all of them, but enough to get audited - they use betting systems, they keep records, "volume, frequency, scale", it becomes difficult to prove the activity is not for profit at that point, and while rare, guys have been stung with this. It doesn't attract CGT - but it's a blow on income tax. Where gambling gets competitive recreationally is casino cards - in ascending order of probable net profit: Pai Gow Poker, Baccarat, Blackjack, and Pontoon. Roulette has the same probable profit as Pai Gow but a much higher expected loss and double the house edge. You can hedge your losses, but that's for pussies, so I don't think it's on the same level. Blackjack is right in the middle but you also have to put up with crowded tables, house rules (hole cards etc), plus, and I have no evidence for this - I just feel like the house cheats somehow. Pai Gow has a bank, but it doesn't quite get to the same edge reduction as even blackjack. Pontoon wins out for me simply because, you can't really play Baccarat one handed and I like to have a cocktail permanently grafted to my hand while I play. The table gets annoyed if you don't do the stupid card roll thing and I don't want to be feeling bad woo from the Chinese lady next to me because I'm disrespecting the ancestor ghosts or something. Pontoon, specifically Federal Pontoon - is the only game where Matt's ascertain could come close to being true. House edge is just 0.38%. Only game in a casino where you can reliably get expected net profit to 50% with the lowest loss. But importantly, the real house edge on pontoon isn't in the odds - it's in player behaviour. The casino can afford to run a game that's within a bee's dick of being fair because the majority of players do not know the rules, they think it's like blackjack - so very similar to the ASX in that regard.

@VintageRockN_85 Is cowshit better than horseshit?

Is “Urgent” by Foreigner a better Song than “Wheel In The Sky” by Journey?

@Berger_BYTES Also missing Serge Savard in Top 10. Guy Lapointe in Top 20 deffo.

Tough to argue these names, but I’d have Paul Coffey at No. 2. He’s the most-fluid skater I’ve ever seen and the nearest facsimile, with the puck, to Bobby Orr. Also, I would rate Tim Horton in the Top 10, ahead of Al MacInnis. The donut magnate was an indispensable figure on all four #Leafs Stanley Cup teams of the 1960’s. #NHLBruins #Oilers #NHL #LeafsForever

@Jimfrombaseball And bad timing denied him the 1971 Cy Young.

"Mickey Lolich was starting with one less day of rest. He pitched the first two innings like a man defusing a live bomb, working slowly and unhappily, and studying the problem at length before each new move." Roger Angell. "When we got to the World Series, the people of St. Louis were convinced that the Tigers were no match for their team. I met Bob Gibson at an autograph signing function years later and he told me that as far as St. Louis was concerned, the 1968 World Series never happened." Mickey Lolich. "Mickey Lolich was far from a conventional athlete. Labelled as too heavy, too slow, and too unconventional, Lolich was dismissed by scouts and sportswriters early in his career. But with a devastating fastball and deceptive left-handed delivery, he steadily rose through the ranks, eventually joining the Detroit Tigers in 1963. Over the next 13 seasons, Mickey Lolich would become one of the most durable pitchers of his era, known for throwing complete games with near-superhuman consistency." "It doesn't seem like such a big deal to me." Mickey Lolich after becoming the eighth pitcher to win three games in a seven-game Series. Mickey Lolich won 14 games and started 30+ games for 11 years straight (1964-1974). His HOF credentials rival many who are there. 3.44 ERA, over 200 wins and over 2,800 Ks. World Series MVP. In my HOF!!!

@Ruby__8090 12 or -6

Test your logic ! Find the value of x ??

@KevinMcCurdy If so, then where's the Norris nomination?

This guy is genuinely the best defensive defenseman in the league. Absolutely unreal.

@HistoryOfFights He was still a goon.

Paul Holmgren became the first U.S. born player to score a hat trick in the Stanley Cup Finals. The milestone occurred during a Flyers 8-3 win over the Islanders in Game 2. 05.15.80 #HFH

@newscomauHQ Sure. Like Webber was. Like Riccardo was. NOT!!!

@Berger_BYTES Robinson is #2.

@YaBoyCoots Tuktoyaktuk

If the NHL expanded to one new city after the season , what would be the FUNNIEST possible choice?

@BBGreatMoments I reckon Reggie's at Tiger Stadium at the 1971 All-star game was the biggest I've ever seen.

On September 10, 1960 Mickey Mantle rockets a home run that measured 643ft. Guinness Records as it as the longest ball ever hit in a major league game. This is where the ball supposedly landed

@OleTimeHardball Gates Brown gets my endorsement.

All-Crayola team (no repeated colors) C - Silver Flint 1B - Pete Rose 2B - Red Schoendienst 3B - Pinky Higgins SS - Khalil Greene OF - Devon White OF - Chet Lemon OF - Ollie Brown SP - Vida Blue SP - Sonny Gray SP - Bud Black

@VintageRockN_85 Fly By Night, even if there is a Tom Sawyer.

Tom Sawyer doesn’t exist!!! Now what’s your go to Rush Song?
