Mt St Helens

 At 8:32am on this day in 1980, Mt St Helens erupted. 57 people died in the eruption that buried stuff, cataclysmic lahars, forests blown away, Toutle river flowed with ash and trees, Spirit Lake boiled, and flora and fauna took years to recover. Here is a photo of eruption as it started. I don't remember the name of photographer.

Habs slay Sabres

 Overtime in game 7 because why not. Montreal wins it 3-2 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals starting Thursday against Carolina. Should be a good one.

Another Canada win

 Canada is 3-0 afternoon beating Denmark 5-1. So far so good. Canada's next game is Thursday vs Norway.

Canada wins again.

 Canada beat Italy 6-0 to go to 2-0 in the tournament. Next game is Monday vs Denmark.

 This is from Ebbets Field. Note the first inning between Cincinnati and Brooklyn. Brooklyn scores 15 in their half of the first, bringing 21 batters to the plate. Dodgers win 19-1.

Canada wins opener

 First day of the world hockey championships and Canada won their first game 5-3 over Sweden. Good test to start. Next game is tomorrow vs Italy.

Vegas finishes Duck hunt

 Wow Vegas beat Anaheim big time, 5-1 in game six and series 4-2. They will get Colorado next in the Western Conference finals.

Colorado buries Minnesota

 Crazy game 5. It was 3-0 Minnesota. Colorado ends up winning 4-3 in overtime to win series 4-1. Colorado gets either Vegas or Anaheim.
