 I finally got to watching this. Napoleon Solo won the 151st Preakness with a time of 1:58.69. Paco Lopez was winning jockey and Chad Summers winning trainer. Next up the Belmont Stakes on June 6. 

 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.

 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.

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

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

 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.

 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.

 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.

 Golden Tempo came back from the rear of the field to win the Kentucky Derby in a time of 2:02.27. Cherie Deveaux is the first female trainer to win. Jose Ortiz is winning jockey.

 The Vegas Golden Knights just eliminated the Utah Mammoth in game 6 5-1 and will face the Anaheim Ducks in the next round. It's getting fun now.

 After 14 years out, not only did Buffalo make the playoffs, they're into the second round after beating the Boston Bruins 4-1 in game 6 and the series 4-2. They will get either Tampa Bay or Montreal. That has a 7th game. 

 Tournament was held from February 9-23 and 12 teams participated. Tournament was at the Meribel ice palace in Meribel, 45 minutes from Albertville. 46 games were played. First tournament to have a knockout round. Unified team wins gold (consisted of old Soviet Union republics). Canada wins silver - their first hockey medal since they won bronze in Grenoble France in 1968. Czechoslovakia won bronze. Next up is 1994.
