Welp, Habs deserve to be up by a goal in this game. The xG looks a *little* better than the shots, but the Habs straight-up won that period.
A graph showing that the Montreal Canadiens have roughly 0.9 xG in this game than the Leafs.

Made ossu bucco for dinner and have been listening to this terrific jazz record. It’s a good Saturday. Don’t screw this up, Leafs.
A photo of the ossu bucco I prepared this evening. Unfortunately, the shot does not include the lemon orzo or gremolata. A photo of a vinyl copy of Cannonball Adderly’s “Know What I Mean?” With Bill Evans.

Hahah I probably post almost this exact photo every year, but I don’t care because I love it.

Hahah, love it. Our back yard has similar vibes right now. Took my daughter to hockey this morning, cut and epoxied our new bathroom countertop, and now I get to drink amber beers right here:

Pretty happy to already own this one on vinyl right now. Perfect Friday night music.

Made my first ever turkey today with all the fixins. The bird was so tender we had to get it out of the pan in pieces, because everything was falling off bone. Hope everyone’s Thanksgiving is just as tasty.

Also, the TVA Sports broadcast just reported that Nicolas Roy's favourite player growing up was Mats Sundin and that his favourite team growing up was the Leafs?

Okay. Okay. I'm a fan of Roy. You'd better believe I was a francophone who grew up with this guy on my wall:

Bagged a couple walleye so lunch today is fish as fresh as it gets. Fried in copious amounts of butter and a touch of salt is all you need, but a dill pickle tartar sauce goes down pretty well, too.

And then, the legendary reply, against which all companies' social media accounts were henceforth measured:
Someone replies to the first fake RC Cola tweet with "This is not a good marketing strategy." The fake RC Cola account replies with an image of Spongebob Squarepants looking deranged and mockingly saying "ThIs iS nOt A GoOd MaRkEtInG StRaTeGy."

And the legendary tweet it spawned:
