Doing a lot of work from my home studio… much to the chagrin and confusion of my 3 year old granddaughter Maisie who doesn’t get why I’m doing this and not hangin’ with her.
July 1st, Patrick Maroon became a UFA. Didn’t get many bites, so days later, he made a late night call to Blues GM Doug Armstrong saying he wanted a chance to play for his hometown team. Tonight he scores the Game

Anxious to do something tangible following the

tragedy?Maybe follow the lead of Logan Boulet. He signed his donor card when he turned 21 just 2 weeks ago. Matches have been found, 6 people will receive the gift of life from Logan. Consider signing a donor card.
So my son is a front line worker, finishing up 14 straight days and then self quarantine. This was his daughter when he pulled up the driveway just moments ago.

Tom Wilson’s suspension will cost him $1,260,162.60, and his salary this season is only $1,100,000. So he’s going to play the season without getting a single paycheque this year. True he got a 5 million dollar signing bonus on July 1st, but nothing moving forward.

Nasty stick swinging attack at a high school hockey game just outside of Dallas.
Both teams play in the Metroplex High School Hockey league sponsored by the Dallas Stars.
The player swinging the stick has been suspended indefinitely. The kid getting attacked is fine.
After driving to Montreal for Game

in Hamilton. Didn’t have tickets, so I just drove to Copps by myself, figured I’d try to buy a ticket from a scalper. Showed up about 3 hours before the game. Mike Gartner walks up, see’s me, “Hey kid, need a ticket”?
Russian President Vladimir Putin scored eight goals in his annual charity game, beating everybody on the ice.

This time last year NHL players were asked to vote for the best goalie in the NHL ..”Who’s the goalie you would least like to face in a winner take all scenario?” Their answer? Carey Price. His legacy continues to grow.
When the Arizona Coyotes discovered Mitchell Miller and a classmate were convicted of assaulting and bullying a developmentally disabled classmate, they dropped him. With full knowledge of his past, the Boston Bruins just signed him.

I just want to say thank you. Your humility, brilliant talent and love of people always pushed me to do, and be better. Congratulations on your incredible journey and enjoy your next chapter my friend.
Something to ponder. On this day 4 months ago, the
@CanadiensMTL
fired their coach. On this day 4 weeks ago they were just a loss away from elimination… Today? They’re just a win away from the Stanley Cup Final.

Join me in recognizing
@jsamantharivera
as a rising young talent in the industry! Doing a live report at a sporting event is a tough challenge at the best of times... pulling it off, while a fan is trying to mess you up, and not missing a beat? Awesome!!
This is completely unacceptable! Shame on anyone who would stoop this low. If you’re doing it… stop, apologize and delete. If you “know” someone who is doing it… step up and make them aware this is completely unacceptable. Sports are emotional. But please keep perspective.

Here’s a look at
@cmcdavid97
increase in points per game pace:
First 100pts- McDavid averaged 1.09 pts/game
Next 100pts- averaged 1.18 pts/game
Next 100pts - averaged 1.49 pts/game
Next 100 pts- averaged 1.52 pts/game
Next 100pts - averaged 1.59 pts/game
#McDavid
#TSNHockey
Progression of McDavid points/game..
He needed 92 games to reach 100 pts.
Then 85 games to go to 200.
Then 67 games to reach 300.
Then 66 games to get 400.
Then 63 games to reach 500.
Stay at that pace and he will become 11th player to score 600pts before 25th bday.

Why is

day so incredibly important?
I just got this note from a friend of mine. I had no idea what he was going through, no one did.
But on this day 4 years ago, he decided it was time to talk to his wife, and his journey began. I asked if I could share his story:
This was the quote that really hit home with me:

“I’ve spoken with Auston. He’s thrilled. He’s thrilled that John’s coming. His goal is to be on a Stanley Cup team, and obviously having John on the team is going to help.”
Another weekend, another pair of incidents where

was targeted without repercussion.
Do the
@EdmontonOilers
need to stand up for their star? Do NHL refs need to clamp down on penalties?
How do you protect the best player in the game?
Jagr just cleared waivers: Is this it? The end of the NHL career for one of the greatest of all-time? Only Gretzky had more pts. Only 2, Howe &bMessier played more games. 2 Stanley Cups. Member of Triple Gold Club. 1st ballot HHOF - What a career!

To Wayne, Kim, Keith, Glen and Brent, thank you for sharing your dad with us.
Wally taught us all so much and left us with so many incredible memories.
Please know you are in our thoughts and please accept my heartfelt condolences.
The global pandemic has made it difficult for many to pay their respects to Walter Gretzky, but the community in Brantford has still found way to do just that:
I have lost so many dear friends and colleagues over the last few days.
It’s been such an honour and privilege to work along side so many wonderful people.
I’m at a loss for words.
Much has been made about the fact that

‘s 14 goals are just 1 shy of Crosby’s 15, that are the most in a playoff run over the last 20 years. And while that is impressive, lets not forget,
@markscheifele55
also had 14 in these playoffs, and in 5 fewer games.
