Newhook is lucky if that's his ankle. That looked like a torn ACL.

But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned

I actually sought this out a couple of months ago after watching the Billy Joel doc on Crave!

Hot damn, what a soccer match. Atletico win the CPL title in an all-time Canadian sports classic.

If you want to make soccer appear faster, have them play in snow for 90 minutes then remove the snow.

This is the moment where I reach my breaking point of seeing "SO CANADIAN" too many times, and make a post about how snow in big outdoor games is not something exclusive to our country.

Do the teams in the CPL final have the option of agreeing to go straight to penalties?

The thing about the snow we've been seeing in Ottawa so far today is that it really doesn't represent the heaviest of it. See that more-intense pattern? It's heading straight north. Jutting east of the capital, but some communities are in for a whallop, with freezing rain possible to the south.

Kirby Dach emerging post-injury was the best-case scenario for the Canadiens, but that team has essentially been nothing but best-case scenarios lately.

Why enjoy watching the Canadiens celebrate when the feed can immediately flip to two teams Habs fans hate instead?

I'd like to see Garry Galley toe pick with an arm full of beers in the concourse.

On the positive side, I don't have to care about the Grey Cup.

That is a terrible decision by Hamilton to kick a field goal to tie in this situation.

Creemore is one of my favourite brewers. Their urbock is one of my favourite beers.

I have no idea what the hell they are thinking putting a beer that tastes like roasted marshmallows in with the most reliable way to find their urbock.
