By Aaron Holm -
But enough about my evening. How was yours? Did you listen to the game? Were you fortunate enough to watch it somehow? Sounds like that power play showed up and the team looked pretty good overall. The games don't count yet, but winning is always the goal, isn't it?
For todays musical selection, let me take you on a trip back in time. To a simpler time, before selfie-sticks and self-service beer kiosks. A long, long time ago, way back to the days of NHL12.

The NHL has a responsibility to suspend Patrick Kane - SBNation.com
Guys and gals, I have very deliberately avoided posting anything Kane related in my walks. It's certainly not because I don't feel it's an important story, relating purely to victim blaming, slut shaming or rape culture in professional sports. I simply just refuse to give the guy bytes on our little corner of the internet. You all know where to find the stories without my help anyway. This one however, deserves to be read. Not because it's a divisional rival, but because of the message the NHL is sending to it's players. Please, if you feel compelled to discuss this in the comments, keep it clean, practice empathy, and do not use this site as your soapbox against Kane or his alleged victim. It will not be tolerated, and any such comments will be removed.
