    Life's not too different. If you put in an honest effort and take care of those closest to you, you'll be rewarded. With all that in mind, I'm pumped to share: 🚨Introducing Darryl Sutter's "The Code of the West - Lessons From the Ranch and the Rink"🚨

    Excellent pick-up by Friedman/Burke/Marek here ... Department of Player Safety should use this as a teaching vid. Benn could’ve ruined a vulnerable opponent, onus is on hitter to avoid the head, he wisely passed where a few years ago few most players would’ve lit the guy up.

    Bob Johnson throws behind Lenny Randle. The next pitch Randle bunts down the first baseline just so he can fucking blast Johnson.

    Canucks assistant sees Horvat’s on a breakaway and goes with the “If I watch I’ll jinx it I’ll just look down and cross my fingers” option, gets rewarded. No immediate hug though 😞

    Been waiting a long time to send these tweets, as I’ve been eager to share this loud and clear: Hi, my name is Justin Bourne, and I’m an alcoholic. I’m in a good place now, but yeah … it’s been a journey. 🧵

    Carey Price congratulating his mother for being re-elected Chief, just after Indigenous People’s Day in Canada, in the wake of all the awful news surrounding Canada’s residential schools, felt particularly powerful.

    Every single NHL team should see Vegas’ success and think, “hey, maybe we should give that buried player who we insert in the lineup every fourth game for 10 mins a better opportunity? Maybe he can do more with a legit chance?”

    My favourite part of the Olympics is watching a sport I never watch for like 9 mins then becoming an expert on it. “Ah, the tuck on the second backflip was way too loose, brutal.”

    The Sens rolled back a 5-1 lead on the Leafs and got the Habs coach fired, they can basically put their feet up and call their season a success at this point

    My only regret in life is that Chara didn’t discover his love for doing this until his 105th season in the league

    Not sure I’ve ever seen a cleaner definition of “pass off the pads” on a rush. Trying to score 0% on the initial shot.

    Challenging days for a lot of people right now so we feel super-blessed to have had such a great one today. Weighing in at seven pounds, introducing Molly Annabelle Bourne. Momma’s doing great 👍🏻.
