There's a new contender for game of the 2022-23 season, and it came out of nowhere. Goals, big saves, playoff intensity, enormous hits, fights and sheer chaos, Monday's Rangers-Flames thriller had absolutely everything a hockey fan could want — especially for a Monday game in early February between two non-conference opponents the day after the All-Star break.
Rangers captain Jacob Trouba set the physical tone with just under six minutes left in the opening frame, absolutely dismantling Flames forward Dillon Dube with a monstrous open ice hit before dropping the mitts with Chris Tanev — and scoring a win in the bout — immediately after the collision.
Trouba's enormous check and the scrap that followed kicked off a slew of chaotic events over the remaining two-plus periods. Less than three minutes after the game's first melee, Sammy Blais had an answer for Trouba, landing a heavy hit on the ginormous Milan Lucic before tempers boiled over once again.
The Rangers scored on the subsequent power play to take a 3-2 lead heading into the third to add another element of value to that insane sequence from Trouba. The pesky Flames did not go away, however, completing their third comeback of the contest to knot the game at threes on a controversial tally from Andrew Mangiapane seven minutes into the third was called a good goal after a lengthy review, despite appearing to be kicked in.
Calgary rode that wave and took their first lead of the night just moments later before Mika Zibanejad tied it up once again, setting the table for a fitting, chaoting ending in overtime as Alexis Lafreniere secured a wild win for the Rangers with his seventh goal of the season.
Daniel Weinman was crowned winner of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event on Monday, taking home a record breaking $12.1 million in winnings. Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
