Stayed there in April. It’s a beautiful room and it’s perfect for a couple. The bed is front and center to the windows so you may want to keep that in mind.

[Vinny Chenz @SevenOutPod]

Bellagio was kind enough to give me a Cypress Suite this trip. I've only stayed in the Salon Suite, so looking for any reviews.

Should I be switching?

30-plus years and still feels like yesterday

Congrats Jacob!

[Jacob Ullman @jacobu]

This month marks 30 years as a staff employee for @FOXSports - 32 years total with FOX since it started with the rights to the NFL in 1994. Most of the time it hasn’t felt like work - I get paid to watch sports which I would be doing anyways. I wouldn’t change it for the world!

To answer number 3:

George Mikan

Bob Gibson

(and Ron Hextall was probably a better puckhandler)

[Tim Wood @timwuud]

1) Marty basically wore the Sunday Times for pads.

2) He eliminated the dump and chase, making their trap as effective as it was

3) name another athlete in the history of sports who had the physical playing surface changed because of them.

NHL All Star Game in 1991

[Steve Levy @espnSteveLevy]

Forever, I’ve said the loudest sports arena I’ve ever been in was the old Chicago Stadium. After these first 2 #StanleyCup games in Raleigh, I might have to rethink that. My ears still hurt!

Berger fun fact:

Captain Lou once bought me a Carvel flying saucer ice cream sandwich at the Nassau Coliseum

[Kris Zellner @KrisZellner]

Captain Lou Albano as a heel manager in the old WWWF/WWF was pretty damn wild at times

Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito was one of his great tag champions that he managed and they could cut their own promos too which always helped

Saito talking about lazy Americans here was great

[michael a. berger @bergerhere]

you know you’ve been in the presence of an absolute FOX Sports legend, right?

Hockey Reference got most of its stuff from Dan Diamond. Dan was the vendor the NHL used to subcontract to publish the Guide and Record Book

I prefer ‘vintage’

[3-6-3 DP @GeorgeFalkowski]

All this talk of retro jerseys, it ain’t retro if you saw them play! It does, however, mean you’re old, or older or old-ish.

Or retro!

Very few?

Very few??

Name ONE…ONE person who knows hockey better than Scotty Bowman

[BetRivers Network @BRNPodcasts]

Very few know hockey better than Scotty Bowman.

Hear him give his take on Auston Matthew with @EJHradek_NHL.

"Montreal Canadiens; A Religion"

The love for the Canadiens in the city of Montreal and province of Quebec has run deep for generations.

Michael Farber has more on how the passion for the Habs has become much more of a religious experience....
