I'm signed up for some pay to play with NHL alumni pickup and Guy Hebert will be there. I wanna get him to recreate this Simpsons bit with me in my goalie gear:

I recall an interview Dani Probert did after Bob’s passing where she mentioned that he could recall specific moments from his playing career 20 years back, but would forget what he had for breakfast by lunch time.

It makes me sad to see the alumni gather and Bob not be here to be a part of it.

USA vs Canada for the championship. In Boston.

Dear leader "took" time out of his "busy" day to speak to the team.

I think Canada rolls

Tied at 1 with about 13 to go in the 2nd Period.

I spoke too soon. ‘Murica leads 2-1.

Great 3rd so far

[Brian707]

OT we go

[minnesotacubsfan]

That sucked

Can’t leave McDavid open there.

I thought USA played a better game, it just came down to that stupid fact that Canada has the worlds greatest hockey players and horsefeathers

After allowing the goal in the first meeting I thought McAvoy did an excellent job disrupting McDavid. Not having him tonight stung.

Watching those guys skate last night was absolutely amazing. The best of the best playing their hearts out. I won't even tune into "all star games". Sign me up for more of that.

I kept thinking the same thing. That game felt like a SC final game, just amazing athleticism up and down the ice

Fantastic tournament, but man, they were REALLY pushing the "NHL has SO MANY NEW FANS NOW" narrative. It was wishcasting to the extreme

Rantanan signed to 8 years with 12m in average annual value with Dallas which is pretty reasonable and something he probably only accepted because Dallas offers a shot at the cup and Chicago would not.

Pretty steep price too. A good young player, two conditional 1sts, and two 3rds.

Ahhhh yea…..it’s that time of year again

Toews wants to come back to the NHL(not with the Hawks) probably Winnipeg.

I will always love and appreciate JT for what he meant to the Hawks, greatest Hawks captain that ever played, but he’s turning 37 and has been out of the game battling illness for two years. I just don’t see it happening.
