If you’re keeping track....four journalists covering the murder of George Floyd have been arrested. The four police officers who took part in the murder of George Floyd are still free.
Tonight Sidney Crosby plays his 1000th NHL game. I think he is a top 5 player of all time.
Ridiculous resume: 3x Stanley Cup, 2x Olympic, World Championship, World Cup, World Jr. 2x Hart, 2x Conn Smyth, 2x Rocket, 2x Art Ross.
He's only 33
Gaudreau to CBJ a big surprise to me. Not as close to his family as Philly, NJ, NYI. Not as close to being a Cup contender as CGY. Also left $10M+ on the table. I don’t get it. 🤷♂️
I know it's a business and you need to make money, but would have been very cool if the 2500 fans in attendance in Montreal tomorrow were front line workers given tickets to show thanks for all their sacrifices during the pandemic.
Beyond the Astros winning the World Series we will never know the full chain of events that occurred from the cheating. Pitchers sent to the minors after giving up hits/hrs to Bregman and Altuve. Major league careers ended etc This can’t be ignored.
Some exciting news out of Nashville as Tennessee State University is exploring the possibility of becoming the first HBCU to begin a men’s and women’s hockey program.
TSU partnering with the NHL, the Predators and College Hockey Inc.
This is how you grow the game! 👍🏽
Sidney Crosby continues to be one of hockeys best ambassadors. One by one took pictures with a number of fans. Had individual conversations with each of them. Made it special. 🙌🏽

Very happy to hear
@IceSinghHNIC
and
@LouDeBrusk
use their voices during our broadcast tonight to speak out against racism in hockey, after an incident tonight in the ECHL. We need everyone to be allies to make the game accessible, safe and inclusive. 🙏🏾
Jose Berrios says one reason he decided to sign in Toronto was the diversity of the city. Calls Toronto a worldly city, where he and his family can be safe and comfortable.

I’m embarrassed to be a Canadian when I see stuff like this. If you don’t like diversity, you can leave. We’re not going anywhere. Also this notion that anyone who is a visible minority was “handed” a job is laughable. People need to wake up.
Still work to do, but it’s been great watching all the political parties put their differences aside and work together for the betterment of our country during this health crisis 🇨🇦
Canada has controlled its Covid-19 cases as the US struggles. There's been no controversy over masks, plus "early and widespread testing, a free health care system still building surge capacity, longer shutdowns, slower reopenings, social distancing,”

Tonight is Connor McDavid’s last game as a 22 year old. He has the 5th most points in NHL history for a player under the age of 23. Hockey royalty on this list
Wayne Gretzky 861 pts
Dale Hawerchuk 529
Mario Lemieux 516
Sidney Crosby 506
Connor McDavid 442
Mcdavid is running away with the Art Ross and is closing in on the Rocket too. 20 goals now, just one behind Matthews.
McDavid is just out of this world.
The misdirection in this George Floyd trial is really disgusting. The defense is basically putting Floyds drug use on trial. Should every drug user be killed in the streets with a knee on their neck?
Some notes for Montreal in this sweep:
*Scored first every game
*Never trailed
*10 different players scored in series
*PK 8/8 with 3 short handed goals
Amazing run for the Canadiens
On Tuesday, Keith Yandle broke the NHL record for the most consecutive games played, at 965.
Here's a behind-the-scenes look back at Keith's historical night. 🙌
Hey
@CP24
please don’t try to humanize this guy, who crossed state lines with an assault rifle he wasn’t old enough to own, to shoot 3 people. He is a killer, not a victim.
Incredibly proud of my niece who after two years of medical deferrals, finally begins her college life! An amazing young woman, with a bright future.
@penn
28 year old rookie goalie Michael Houser has just won his first 2 NHL games on back to back nights. Tonight 45 saves and a shootout win for Buffalo against the Islanders. An amazing story
The Toronto bubble's job is done after the Islanders leave for Edmonton tomorrow -- six weeks after the teams arrived.
Well done by everyone in Toronto.
Today is the day finally the great Willie O’Ree goes into the Hall of Fame. A well deserved honour for someone who really did change the complexion of the game.
HE DID AGAIN!

Connor McDavid ties things up with yet another UNREAL goal on an odd man rush and it’s 1-1!

Something to consider, if the Oilers and Penguins lose their respective series, Alex Lafreniere will have a 1 in 4 chance of playing on a team with either Sid and Geno or Connor and Leon next year.
Phase 2

goes on Monday.
If you’re going to give him 3 games, just give him zero games, because you’re basically saying his behaviour is acceptable.
Disappointed is an understatement.
Andriy Deniskin has been banned for 3 + 10 games (or a fine of ₴50 000). The decision was made by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine.

29 year old Manjeet Singh didn’t think twice before jumping into the Kings River Wednesday night when three kids were swept away. But he drowned trying to save their lives. One of the kids- an 8 yr old was underwater for 15 mins and is now on life support. The others made it out.
We all know shooting a person in the back (7x) is the last resort, never the first option. Why is this so confusing to so many people?

A heartfelt thanks to all of you who watched our

coverage over the last 2 months. So much fun to be a part of it. Your passion is appreciated.
Just like the NHL is nothing without its fans, we are nothing without your viewership.
Enjoy the off season.
It’s a mob scene on the field minutes after Houston wins the World Series and who is the first reporter to get an interview with Astros Manager Dusty Baker? Of course it’s

- a total pro!!
Very special Saturday for both Mark Giordano and Wayne Simmonds who both play in NHL game
#1000
. Pretty amazing considering Giordano wasn’t drafted and Simmonds only played AA till he was 16.
40 years ago today, after running 5,373 km in 143 days, Terry Fox was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario, because his cancer had spread to his lungs. Fox's legacy reminds us that a courageous person can change the world
