Scott Sabourin just crushed Aaron Ekblad along the end boards, then cross-checked Ekblad in the face once he got up. Ekblad skates off to the back, and Sabourin gets a match penalty. No, I'm not live-posting off this game, but I am here to tell you there are too many preseason games.

It is not fascism unless it comes from the fascist region of Italy. Otherwise it's just sparkling authoritarianism.

Grew up hearing about “Lesley’s Angels” throughout my childhood. RIP Dr Goodall.

(Was fortunate enough to recover these iconic covers from my grandparents place awhile back, it’s a history trip when reading these old editions)

My wife and I had fond memories of hiking the Samaria Gorge and Chania. Western Crete was amazing. Also, can’t say more good things about the island of Milos too. The boat cruise around the island with 4 other Greek couples in their 20s was an experience! 😏
