Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

If you want to quickly come to despise your fellow humans just go to Costco on a Saturday.

It's been three days since Bob Goodenow passed away. I'm still waiting to see a story about it in @theathletic.com. Maybe the person in charge of The Athletic's hockey coverage could Google Mr. Goodenow and discover why this rates some coverage other than Rangers team with Messier for jersey patch.

Congratulations to Alexander Mogilny for his long-overdue election to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The other inductees also well-deserved.

Time to draw the curtain on the Shanaplan era.

Leafies, you now hold the hammer on the most complete team in the NHL playoffs.

All right, I can't explain this.

Jayzuz Leafies!! Just get through the first minute so we can breathe!

Great sign for the Leafies. Their bottom-six guys are producing highlight-reel goals.

Good Lord, a reason for faith in Joe Woll. That play started with a save off his noggin.

Laughton and the Leafs got real, real lucky. Surely by now players know you can't hit a guy from behind into the boards. Somehow the officials turned it into a 5-on-5 situation.

The old guy knows what it takes. What looked like a head-scratcher when Brad Treliving signed Pacioretty is paying big dividends.

Leafies, Leafies. Yer letting the Panthers play their game. What happened to that team the other night that used its speed to get in quick on the forecheck and pound bodies? Florida is now that team.

OK Leafies, you were in danger of running a perimeter power play but Pacioretty and the second unit saved you.

Jeebers Leafies, you've owned the face off circle. Now you're losing it and the special-teams battle.

Tabernoosh Leafies. Someone threw the breaker switch on your power play.

Leaf fans better pray hard Stolarz is ok.

The Nylander guy picked a good time to show up after his coaches buggered up his entry on the lineup sheet.
