I'm keeping this to remind myself that there are no unicorns! Especially since I feel like the rhino at times

I've always been a law of attraction believer, so seeing that Rod Brind'Amour literally placed a 35lb (exact weight of the Stanley Cup) cinder block at the door of the Canes facility and had the players and staff lift it over their head every day on their way in calling it a 'blue collar press' is somewhat substantiating to me.

Logan Stankoven 5-year resume:
2021: World U-18-Gold
2022: World Juniors-Gold
2023: World Juniors-Gold
2024: Western Conference Finals
2025: Eastern Conference Finals
2026: Stanley Cup Champion
Lots of “experts” thought Stank was too small. All he does is win.

Always a good reminder that PREVENTION is always cheaper both in terms of money and in suffering than "combating the infectious disease once it's coming".
Every. Single. Time.

It's a little sad to tweet this two weeks before it goes away. It's seven seasons. At least a month to rewatch ;)
It's a show? It's a lifestyle. It's a religion.
We are sorry to say that Gilmore Girls Seasons 1-7 will be leaving Netflix in the US on June 30. Raising a cup of coffee to every fan who visited Stars Hollow with us.

Rod sneakily built in a 35 pound cinderblock lift into the Canes offseason workouts, called it “Blue Collar Presses”, and the boys never thought anything of it…
Turns out he was having them practice lifting the Cup all season long 🤯🔥

It's also a fundamental misunderstanding what "going to university" means. It's not only the lectures. It's what you have to do outside. Read, read more, digest, discuss, think and then read more. It's the hours it takes to really read a book/journal to understand it.

I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is.
University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

Jarvis "I came in as a young and immature kid, well I'm still young and immature"
Oh Jarvis, never change. You're genuine and so good.
Seth Jarvis is a #StanleyCup champion, and you best believe he brought his buddies with him!
Jarvis (and his buddies) spoke with @jasondemers5 and Cory Schneider.

Ehlers giving a thank you and emotional response about Winnipeg and the Jets! 💙
So happy for the Danish player to win with the other danish player 🎉
Ahhh so you can do an interview after leaving a team you’ve spent your whole career with and not shit on the fans who treated him “like a god” and the city of Toronto like Marner has done for a year

Eric Tulsky just won the Cup while his AHL team is in the final. He has four 1st round picks in the next three years.
He has Aho, Jarvis, Ehlers, Stankoven, Blake, Slavin, and Miller all locked up until at least 2031.
Probably should have won GM of the Year
