If you’re keeping track....four journalists covering the murder of George Floyd have been arrested. The four police officers who took part in the murder of George Floyd are still free.

Tonight Sidney Crosby plays his 1000th NHL game. I think he is a top 5 player of all time.
Ridiculous resume: 3x Stanley Cup, 2x Olympic, World Championship, World Cup, World Jr. 2x Hart, 2x Conn Smyth, 2x Rocket, 2x Art Ross.
He's only 33

Gaudreau to CBJ a big surprise to me. Not as close to his family as Philly, NJ, NYI. Not as close to being a Cup contender as CGY. Also left $10M+ on the table. I don’t get it. 🤷♂️

I know it's a business and you need to make money, but would have been very cool if the 2500 fans in attendance in Montreal tomorrow were front line workers given tickets to show thanks for all their sacrifices during the pandemic.

Beyond the Astros winning the World Series we will never know the full chain of events that occurred from the cheating. Pitchers sent to the minors after giving up hits/hrs to Bregman and Altuve. Major league careers ended etc This can’t be ignored.

Most insane stat of the playoffs:
Montreal has been short handed 40x. They have allowed 3 power play goals and scored 4 short handed goals.

Some exciting news out of Nashville as Tennessee State University is exploring the possibility of becoming the first HBCU to begin a men’s and women’s hockey program.
TSU partnering with the NHL, the Predators and College Hockey Inc.
This is how you grow the game! 👍🏽

Very happy to hear @IceSinghHNIC and @LouDeBrusk use their voices during our broadcast tonight to speak out against racism in hockey, after an incident tonight in the ECHL. We need everyone to be allies to make the game accessible, safe and inclusive. 🙏🏾

Jose Berrios says one reason he decided to sign in Toronto was the diversity of the city. Calls Toronto a worldly city, where he and his family can be safe and comfortable. #BlueJays

McDavid is the most skilled player we’ve ever seen
The goal that ensured a Cup Final rematch and another chance for Canada to bring its first home since 1993.
Full marks to @Jacob_Cathro for the perfect angle.
Game 1 Wed. at 6pm.

I’m embarrassed to be a Canadian when I see stuff like this. If you don’t like diversity, you can leave. We’re not going anywhere. Also this notion that anyone who is a visible minority was “handed” a job is laughable. People need to wake up.

Look at all those teeth
12 years ago today: Chris Tanev scored his 1st #NHL goal on #LetsGoOilers goalie on Devan Dubnyk in 3-2 overtime win @ Northlands Coliseum
Tanev became the 1st & remains the only player in #Canucks history to score his 1st 🚨in OT

Still work to do, but it’s been great watching all the political parties put their differences aside and work together for the betterment of our country during this health crisis 🇨🇦
Canada has controlled its Covid-19 cases as the US struggles. There's been no controversy over masks, plus "early and widespread testing, a free health care system still building surge capacity, longer shutdowns, slower reopenings, social distancing,” @paulanewtonCNN explains.

The misdirection in this George Floyd trial is really disgusting. The defense is basically putting Floyds drug use on trial. Should every drug user be killed in the streets with a knee on their neck?

Some notes for Montreal in this sweep:

*Never trailed
*10 different players scored in series
*PK 8/8 with 3 short handed goals
Amazing run for the Canadiens

Hey @CP24 please don’t try to humanize this guy, who crossed state lines with an assault rifle he wasn’t old enough to own, to shoot 3 people. He is a killer, not a victim.

Something to consider, if the Oilers and Penguins lose their respective series, Alex Lafreniere will have a 1 in 4 chance of playing on a team with either Sid and Geno or Connor and Leon next year.

If you’re going to give him 3 games, just give him zero games, because you’re basically saying his behaviour is acceptable.
Disappointed is an understatement.
Andriy Deniskin has been banned for 3 + 10 games (or a fine of ₴50 000). The decision was made by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine.
Deniskin made racist gestures toward @hcdonbass player @jalen_smereck during a game on 26 September 2021. (1/3)

29 year old Manjeet Singh didn’t think twice before jumping into the Kings River Wednesday night when three kids were swept away. But he drowned trying to save their lives. One of the kids- an 8 yr old was underwater for 15 mins and is now on life support. The others made it out.

We all know shooting a person in the back (7x) is the last resort, never the first option. Why is this so confusing to so many people? #BlackLivesMatter
For anyone defending the #Kenoshapolice shooting of #JacobBlake here are cops dealing with a white man who isn’t “following their commands” pay close attention to the difference

A heartfelt thanks to all of you who watched our #StanleyCupPlayoffs coverage over the last 2 months. So much fun to be a part of it. Your passion is appreciated.
Just like the NHL is nothing without its fans, we are nothing without your viewership.
Enjoy the off season.
