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.

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.

New at @SBJ: Retiring @USWNT star @SammyMewy is becoming editor-in-chief of the new women's soccer vertical at @MenInBlazers. It's a dream hire for @RogBennett, who has been in awe of Mewis since her dominant performance at the 2019 Women's World Cup.
