The first 2 eps of Star Wars Skeleton Crew are out now. If you liked the kids adventure movies from the 80s (think ET, The Goonies.. "Amblin films"), definitely check it out. Also, this is 1000% "Star Wars Toronto" Toronto is now Star Wars Canon 🇨🇦

Today in 1972 the world’s first commercially successful arcade video game was released. It was also the very first sports arcade game. Pong jump started the explosion in popularity of arcades and home consoles. Unequivocally one of the most important games ever made.

Jim Montgomery just set the record for fastest in-season hiring after being fired for a head coach in NHL history. 5 days between fired by Bruins - hired by Blues. The previous record was 6, set by Bruce Boudreau (Caps fired - Ducks hired in 2011-2012)

If this Caps game was pro wrestling, Utah would make it a one-goal game, only for Ovi to hobble back onto the ice, pushing back medical staff, and score an empty netter.

OVECHKIN HAS TIED ANOTHER NHL RECORD!!! By scoring on Connor Ingram, Ovi has now gotten the puck past 178 different goalies in his NHL career, matching the great Jaromir Jagr for the all time lead! #Great8GoaliesChase

Alex Ovechkin has 15 goals, which is the most he's had in the first 18 games of a season in his entire career. Might be too early to say this... but he seems motivated. Could be just me.

Arda Öcal @ardaocal.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

If Alex Ovechkin scores tonight, it will be the 58th time in his career he's scored on consecutive days (had a hat trick yesterday). Only 4 have more: Gordie Howe (72x) Phil Esposito (63x) Wayne Gretzky (62x) Bobby Hull (61x)

OVECHKIN SCORES ON GOALIE #177! Ovi gets one Past Ilya Samsonov, tying Patrick Marleau for most goalies scored on in NHL history! One left to catch - Jagr at 178!

Ovechkin faces Justus Annunen tonight and backup Trent Miner - Ovi hasn’t scored on either in his career. He could tie Patrick Marleau tonight at 177 different goalies scored on tonight #Great8GoaliesChase

Arda Öcal @ardaocal.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

While we patiently wait for Ovi to break the goals record, I’m dialed in to tracking if he breaks the “most goalies scored on NHL history” record. He’s at 176 different goalies. Only Patrick Marleau (177) and Jaromir Jagr (178) have more. CAN HE DO IT??? #Great8GoaliesChase

27 years ago today - one of the most significant moments in pro wrestling history. Hulk Hogan turns his back on the kids and joins the nWo. This was so massive I remember watching TSN SportsCentre and they actually covered it - did a whole highlight like it was a Leafs game.

If Connor Bedard leads Hawks in goals this season & makes playoffs: Only 2 teams in NHL history reached postseason with an 18-year old leading team in goals: Sharks 95 (Jeff Friesen) Canucks 89 (Trevor Linden) Only 1 where 18 y/o led team in points: Wings 84 (Steve Yzerman) (🎩 ESPN Stats / Info)

This country has given me a lot of incredible things - I met my wife here, two amazing kids born in New York, fulfilled dream jobs, wonderful joy. In many ways I've become the best version of myself in the United States & I'm grateful to be a citizen. I hope you had an enjoyable 4th!
