Me, about fighting in hockey: it's kinda dumb, we don't really need it Me, when Ullmark skated down the ice, tossed his stick and blocker:

Linus Ullmark, certified bad boy

As I was saying

The father of one of our neighbours is a loud car guy. And you might be saying to yourself, no worries it's getting cold so his loud car will go away for the winter. Turns out he also drives... a loud F150.

Many of these businesses did the normal thing and gave out candy. Jen & Larry's Ice Cream Shop though? They went all out 😏

1LW Nick Cousins, juuuuuuust like we all had it drawn up in preseason.

The kid who is "too old" for naps is sick and napping. The kid who "absolutely still needs to nap or else she's a tyrant by 5pm" won't nap.

Downtown Stratford businesses are hosting a Saturday afternoon trick or treating event for kids. I'm gonna get so many coffee crisps.

Of course Ovi scored 899 the game before he plays Ottawa. Of course.

It's almost halloween which means it's the time of year when I devour the world's greatest chocolate bar non-stop for two weeks. Bless up.

A Timmy GWG feels like the move, imo

Definitely wouldn't be my first jersey choice for a game 7 but...

Got to score a goal while my kid was watching today, I imagine that's what playing an NHL game is like

When the kids are feral and you're just watching the clock for when it's time to go to beer league

Maybe the diamond formation on the PK was Leevi's idea, did you ever think of that?

5 year old doing his swim lessons, there's a parent-and-baby class going on at the same time. 6 dad's (or perhaps uncles or Grandpa's) and 1 mom. We love involved father figures, folks. Way to break that cycle, fellas.

Aaaaaanyways

Hysterical to me that anyone doesn't like the new alternates. I'm sure the number is small, it must be. But there are people out there who don't absolutely love this look and it's crazy. There should be absolutely zero people who feel that way.

The 3 year old is at the ER with my wife because she decided to shove a small stone inside her ear. So that's how today is going.

Checking in from the golf course, I see the Ottawa Senators have continued the tradition of allowing the first goal. Love that. We got'm exactly where we want'm.

What do other parents do when their child has a friend who absolutely sucks? (he's a 5 year old child... but boyyyyyy does this kid suck)

Kids didn't finish their kraft dinner at lunch yesterday. So am I going to make some air fryer Mac and cheese balls today? Yes. Yes I am.

Josh Norris, man. What an incredible shooter... when healthy. Alas. Never healthy. Hope he finds a new passion in life because I just don't see contact sports working out anymore. Feel for him big time.

Well, the 3 year old decided she needed to know what sticking her fingers into a pumpkin pie feels like so... solid start to the weekend!

If you're ever in the London, Ontario area, and have children, Clovermead Adventure Farm is literally Disney World for kids under... probably 8? Climbing structures, farm animals, potato sac slides, tricycle racing tracks, places to dig, places to build. An actual oasis for kids. HIGHLY encourage.

Having an a-mazing day

It's game one but I'm ready to fire whomever designs the penalty kill already

Who is going to be the first Ottawa Senator to score this season and why is it for sure going to be like... Lars Eller or something?

Due to the timing of bed time with my children, I hereby grant Tampa Bay permission to have as long of a season opener ceremony as they wish. Minimum 30 minutes. Thank you!

Had the best shawarma of my life today in London, Ontario, Canada.

The 3 year old has the call and response of "what time is it?" "Game time!" so down right now you guys. I can yell if from anywhere in the house and, no matter what she is doing or where she is... it's game time.

I have mastered air fryer fried pickles for my wife so needless to say I'm winning in life

I know it's preseason, I know it's a road game.. but that's a weird ass lineup for being just 2 games from regular season

Who? (respectfully)

So McDavid is getting like $22M per year or what

Massive improvement on last year's beer league season since I was able to bend over and tie my skates without being out for breathe

Weirdest marketplace situation. We are helping our in-laws sell some furniture. Somebody responded to a post about a couch, set up a pick up, sent us money and then... ghosted us? Like. We have their money. And then they disappeared. It's been days?

After a tough day, the kids down the street showed up with girl guide cookies for sale. Saturday salvaged with the greatest cookies on the planet (mint thins)

Potty training the 3 year old while also looking at my sister in laws dog. So far the dog has done my damage to the carpet than my 3 year old. So that's nice.

Me, when I join a new team: doesn't really matter, whatever number you got I don't care. I'll wear whatever. Also me:

Babe, wake up, a new beer league szn just dropped

Always wonder what goes through people's heads when they card me and then see how old I am. They're going their job, better safe than sorry, etc... but what's it like being almost *2 decades* wrong? 😂

You never wish injuries on people but a lack of M. Tkachuk and Barkov makes the Atlantic sooooooo much more interesting 👀

Forced to change my work password, after 4 business days I have finally got my new password correct on the first try. Everyone say good job daddy

Anywho, I built some floating bookshelves for Steph.

So does everyone have a big container of all the leftover screws, bits, washers, bolts, etc from various furniture? And you don't know what to do with it. I have some Ikea hardware from like 2013 kicking around. Haven't used it. Probably won't use it. Here we are.

Sens lost yesterday eh? Better pack it in

I googled how to stream RedZone online because my site from last season is gone and Google Gemini kindly told me you "can not and should not" do this because it's illegal. Fucking narc.

Is there anything more disappointing than finding an excellent skipping stone but then you whiff the throw and it only skips once.

Sources are telling me the Sens are doing that thing today
