Today in 1973, the greatest horse race in history was run.

Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to become the Triple Crown winner and set a world record time that has never been beaten!

@AZadarski No issue with the four goalies in the team photo ... but the franchise leader in wins should also be in there ... along with the Gumper, Hainsworth, and Vezina, to name but four notable omissions.

@Sid_Seixeiro Charlie Conacher ... led the NHL in goals 5 times, NHL scoring twice, three time 1st Team All-Star, twice a 2nd Team All-Star ... 1932 Stanley Cup Champion ... HHOF

John Cena is surprised by one of his fans.

With over 650 Make-A-Wish requests granted, he holds the record for the most wishes fulfilled. He attends these visits knowing that not all of them have happy endings yet he continues to show up, year after year, without hesitation.

What a legend!!

@jimmathesonnhl ... "Kulak, a UFA on July 1, 2026, at a $2.75-million AAV, never missed a game after the Oilers stole him from Montreal for a second-round pick in 2022."

That second-round pick ... Lane Hutson.

Quite the "theft" by the Oilers ... 😉

@BallMechanic Cole Hamels is an interesting candidate ... he won't get to the 75% this year ... but he'll probably do better than most are predicting.

@coopincanada @RanceBlueJay5 Does he have a "shared" account with Garth Iorg ... ??

[Todd Denault @ToddDenault]

@simmonssteve Carter, Alomar, and Sprague are 1-2-3 because they all led to a championship ... all the other one's fall in line behind those three in terms of "importance"

Ed Giacomin once tried out for an AHL team weeks after suffering severe burns on his legs and feet. Details here: https://t.co/9w5e8YcGUt
His grit was unsurpassed. RIP Fast Eddie #HHOF #NYC @NYRangers @NHL

@SNKenReid A Pictou County Boy duking it out with a lad from Cobourg ... I'm totally conflicted ... 😩

@TheHockeyNews @Ken_Campbell27 Good list Ken ... I would put Durnan over Price, 2 Cups, 6 times a 1st Team All-Star (when the completion included Broda, Raynor, Brimsek) and ranked #34 on the Hockey News 100 list of the greatest players up to that point, but a minor quibble.

@Berger_BYTES In terms of a sports media career in this country ... and the "impact" of a single person on our country and its history ... I think that the line forms right after this gentleman.

@listensessions1 I for one ... jumped all over this cd when it was released in Japan in 2021 ... this particular series included a few harder to find Cannonball titles rarely seen on cd
