They all played for the #Thrashers and 6 of them were the team captain. The only captains that didn't fit anywhere were Holik and Ray Ferraro. Could've had a lower score if I used alternate captain Slava Kozlov instead of Kovalchuk.

Happy election day Canada. Get out there and vote if you haven't already.
For what it's worth, I don't recommend living under a far-right gov't run by technobros. Vote wisely.

Oh look... the garage door spring broke. Again. For the third time. Granted we've been in our house for 18 years, but that still seems like too many times.

Allow me to interrupt the doom posting with an uncle brag.
My niece, who is a junior at Wofford College, is tied for 6th in NCAA D1 softball complete games with 13 and is 36th in the country in ERA (1.78). Only 3 pitchers ahead of her have pitched more innings than her (110.1).
