This is the single greatest piece of broadcast journalism ever produced.
A news report on hockey fans who, disgruntled with the decline in fighting in the NHL, prefer to watch video tapes of the scraps:

Hey @JetBlue. Looking for some help as I discovered tonight that my travel bank is empty even though it should have ~$700 in it. Happy to provide more details in DM.

I love @WICN905 but Joe Cicero's obsession with so-called singer Kat Edmonson is highly annoying. Plays her music every morning like clockwork, which is my cue to change the station.

Was that some Golden Smog I just heard @expomick? Solid.

Just went out to fire up the grill and got pelted by quarter inch hail here in Sterling. @WCVB @Wxdavidw

Can you imagine if ANY player, at ANY juncture of this clip, bodied up and finish a hit on Reinhart ? Maybe still be playing?

Heck, I'm Canadian, and that gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it. The significance of him throwing a perfect strike from the mound is not lost on any of us.

Apparently they don’t sell newspapers in Toronto’s airport. How sad is that?

This has to be one of the best ragdoll jobs of the last 25 years. What an epic beatdown.
Matthew Tkachuk’s reaction when anyone other than a goalie wants to drop the mitts with him 🐢🐢🐢

@safelite Your customer service for warranty claims is horrible. Tried to do it via web and was told to email. Emailed last week and got no response. Now when I call I get a message that says "We can't take your call right now." WTF? What the heck am I supposed to do?

Or maybe this is just your way of ducking warranty work? Put the customer in a perpetual circle of customer service hell until he finally gives up?

The greatest hockey stop ever captured on film.
In 1964 Dean Prentice of the Bruins was tripped by Stan Mikita & awarded a penalty shot. He was knocked unconscious. When he awoke, Bobby Hull dared him to take his own penalty shot. He did & scored. It was eventually revealed that Prentice had a broken back. Take that Bobby!

This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen.
Witnessed and recorded the most INSANE car crash yesterday, you can see Autopilot also swerve and avoid the rouge tire for me $TSLA

This is awesome. Canada rocks.
Mic malfunction ahead of the anthems, so the Toronto crowd takes over and sings the US 🇺🇸 anthem.

Hey @GlobeKPD, you forgot to mention how Knuble ruined the Bs chance of a Cup repeat in 2012 when he plowed into Tim Thomas on the GWG in OT of Game 7. Blatant goaltender interference that the refs didn't have the stones to call.

Love the throwbacks to the dominant 80s when it was the Bruce Racine and Rico Rossi show.
