Here’s a Thing I Made
I had a couple free minutes during lunch, so. Yeah. I’m sorry.
Storylines
- Mike Green will not be playing tonight. Upper-body thing. Nate Schmidt will be getting the sweater.
- The Habs will be starting Tokarski in net. He’s got a .902 save percentage in 10 career games.
- There will be a whole bunch of pregame festivities for the 40th anniversary so get to VC early.
- Hey, did you catch the RMNB podcast? There’s still time!
- As demonstrated above, PK Subban is going to fart on your favorite player and there is nothing we can do about it.
- Andre Burakovsky is keeping number 65 so he can “make it famous.”

In case you forgot.
What You’re Missing on TV
On a very special episode of Parenthood (10/9c, NBC), Someone named Camille and the kids anxiously await news about someone named Zeek. Someone named Julia confronts someone named Joel about their (whose? I do not know) relationship status. Someone named Amber decides to face her future and someone named Drew supports her. There will probably be a montage at some point and someone you know will talk about it on Facebook on Friday.
Oh my sweet summer child, winter is coming.
