    Following Alex Ovechkin's record-breaking goal, @BudweiserCanada is honoring the 28 goalies who kept him off the scoreboard with #KingofZero commemorative cans. I love seeing some of the names on this list, including now-@NHLPA exec Rob Zepp.

    #Isles owner John Ledecky just walked into the pizza place by Barclays Center, yelled “Who’s the best team in hockey?,” walked around high-fiving everyone and left. What a time to be alive.

    Replying to @jeremyslevin and @mattduss
    Dems don’t need to move to the center on economics. They need to moderate on social/cultural issues. That’s where they’re alienating normies.

    Breaking from @MLS Board of Governors: The league will not adopt the proposed fall-to-spring international schedule format coming out of the World Cup next summer. A switch to the global calendar is still on the table but would not happen until the 2027 season at the earliest.
