George Canyon’s beautiful rendition of, “Johnny B. Goode,” to wrap up the candlelight vigil for Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.

He left his career as a Toronto firefighter to devote his life to caring for elephants. He had to leave them for 14 months due to family emergency. He couldn't have expected this upon returning.

Nothing but admiration for Rachel Blount and am looking forward to what’s next. Absolutely loved working with her. As I’ve said before, she’s a pro. Eloquent. A grinder. Dogged and committed. #FNG Rachel Blount

One of America’s great sportswriters is working her final Star Tribune shift today. A few words about Rachel Blount …

As we all grieve the immense loss of actor James Earl Jones (Star Wars, The Lion King), I wanted to celebrate one his funnier milestones, reading Letterman’s best Top Ten List, reciting commercial jingles with his spectacular, powerful, booming voice. #RIPJamesEarlJones

Still the most underpaid player in the game?.....

Curious as to how a foreign student-athlete can take advantage of NIL (and NIL collectives). Not just hockey as there are foreign student-athletes playing other sports as well. Maybe I’m wrong on this, but a foreign student can’t work off campus (can work on campus).

Morton was great in the A to finish last season and didn't disappoint as one of the older players in Penticton. I don't see a better candidate for the Flames' 4C job out of camp.

The bowels of the Saddledome literally smell like purple Gatorade as the bottles were emptied yesterday as part of the thoughtful dissemination of items from the Gaudreau memorial. These sticks will be made into benches dedicated to the memory of Johnny and Matthew.

👀 Cousin Tyler played for the Mavericks in 2009-10 before heading off to the Hat.

I remember the exact moment I first heard ‘The Tragically Hip’ I was sitting in my apartment in NYC, ‘Phantom Power’ had just come out and somehow MuchMusic was on my TV. The video of ‘Bobcaygeon’ came on, I heard the snare tone of Johnny Fay and instantly new they meant
