Carolina may have beaten the Golden Knights 4-3 in OT to even the series but the important thing to remember is once again the Stanley Cup will not be going to a team from Canada. The last time the Cup was won by a Canadian franchise was 1993 when Montreal beat the LA Kings.

Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The Knicks won game one of the NBA Finals and I don't have a prediction on the outcome of the series though I will predict that another New York win will come and many will blame the Spurs loss on Victor Wembanyama fouling out of the game.

Halberstam Upper Level History
Just a thought but you could make a whole year of college upper level modern history classes from some of the books of David Halberstam. For example:
History 301: From World War II to Vietnam. The class would be based on Halberstam's book The Fifties and his book The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War.
History 302: The start of the Vietnam War to Japan taking over the US auto market. This class would be based on Halberstam's The Best and Brightest and his book The Reckoning.
These two classes would span the better part of four decades of US history over a single college year. There would be plenty of historical details to review and Halberstam is considered liberal royalty by many - so that should ease the courses being adopted by various universities. Halberstam has become more controversial as the years go by so all of the items from the books should give plenty of subjects and differing takes for historical papers.
So let it be written so let it be done.

The NBA Finals between the Spurs and Knicks open tonight in San Antonio. Could be an interesting series and with ABC carrying both the NBA and NHL Finals guessing you probably won't have to decide each night which game to watch.

With AJ Brown being traded to the Patriots look for some to start saying he's the best receiver New England has had since Randy Moss. Then if Brown or the Pats get off to a slow start look for many of the same to note that Moss only cost a 3rd rounder. Some people already have their columns written, That's how it goes in Boston.

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up Substack.
President Trump has been emptying the strategic oil reserve trying to keep the price of gas at the pump at a reasonable level. He's also been been selling that oil at top of the market prices because of the war in Iran. If that war ends and the price of oil drops - will he then start refilling the oil reserve by buying at much lower prices? Did the US government just make a huge windfall? The art of the oil deal?
