Jon Bon Jovi’s very first professional music credit was on a 1980 Star Wars Holiday album. (Insert “The More You Know” graphic here 💫)
Does Santa write his own scripts?
Solo wraps for intermissions and pre/post game in studio for two straight days. Make it fun, no matter what!
Never a dull moment with PK 🔥🔥

The first 2 eps of Star Wars Skeleton Crew are out now. If you liked the kids adventure movies from the 80s (think ET, The Goonies.. "Amblin films"), definitely check it out.
Also, this is 1000% "Star Wars Toronto"
Toronto is now Star Wars Canon 🇨🇦
Today in 1972 the world’s first commercially successful arcade video game was released. It was also the very first sports arcade game.
Pong jump started the explosion in popularity of arcades and home consoles. Unequivocally one of the most important games ever made.
GOALIE G-oh no…

Jim Montgomery just set the record for fastest in-season hiring after being fired for a head coach in NHL history.
5 days between fired by Bruins - hired by Blues.
The previous record was 6, set by Bruce Boudreau (Caps fired - Ducks hired in 2011-2012)
Mats Zuccarello’s cup really should be #1, but here are the latest ESPN NHL Power Rankings, written by yours truly

Fun day at work
If this Caps game was pro wrestling, Utah would make it a one-goal game, only for Ovi to hobble back onto the ice, pushing back medical staff, and score an empty netter.
OVECHKIN HAS TIED ANOTHER NHL RECORD!!!
By scoring on Connor Ingram, Ovi has now gotten the puck past 178 different goalies in his NHL career, matching the great Jaromir Jagr for the all time lead!
#Great8GoaliesChase
Alex Ovechkin has 15 goals, which is the most he's had in the first 18 games of a season in his entire career.
Might be too early to say this... but he seems motivated.
Could be just me.
If Alex Ovechkin scores tonight, it will be the 58th time in his career he's scored on consecutive days (had a hat trick yesterday). Only 4 have more:
Gordie Howe (72x)
Phil Esposito (63x)
Wayne Gretzky (62x)
Bobby Hull (61x)
This looks like a Mortal Kombat Fatality
OVECHKIN SCORES ON GOALIE #177!
Ovi gets one Past Ilya Samsonov, tying Patrick Marleau for most goalies scored on in NHL history!
One left to catch - Jagr at 178!
Ovi has never scored on Ilya Samsonov. One goal against Adin Hill.
Caps/Golden Knights tonight
