Cole Caufield on his @CanadiensMTL teammates: “Look, I won’t go down the whole list, because we gotta keep these guys humble. But just a special shoutout to Nick for all the assists. I can assure you he’s much louder away from the rink. The Quiet Leader branding is really solid though. He’s the real deal when it comes to a captain who leads by example.

And then obviously Lane, who can’t stop breaking records. His work ethic is so ridiculous that it probably looks weird to some people how much time he spends on the ice. This game is all he cares about. I’ve never seen somebody happier to be out there every day. To be this good this young is unbelievable, and he definitely pushes our group.

And then I guess I have to include Slaf, even though I spend almost every day with the guy. Everybody can see why we took him number 1 now. I don’t even know how good he can be — it’s scary. The whole league should be terrified of what he can become. Slaf’s only issue is that he can’t seem to figure out how American garage doors work. He timed it wrong with the parking gate coming out of my building and crunched his entire hood. I think the car was brand-spanking new. He drove to the first home game and then immediately totaled it in the most comical, slow-motion way possible. He’s been carpooling to games with Demi ever since. I don’t know what mechanic he’s been dealing with, but I think he got hosed. He just got his car back now, six months later.

Something like that could only happen to Slaf. He’s the best.” https://t.co/LrwA5E59Fz

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

This has potential to be the most haunting photo in Toronto sports history.

Will Klein will get more attention tonight because the Dodgers won, but Eric Lauer faced a FAR superior lineup following the in game changes by Toronto and was just as good.

Absolutely legendary performance from the pitcher who honestly was the team’s pitching MVP. Unreal year.

I have a ton of respect for Brendon Little. He's been on the losing end of two of the worst losses in Jays history and after both of them he stood up there, answered questions and took the blame like a pro. He may not be the best pitcher but he seems like a great guy. #WANTITALL

To Kraken Forward Shane Wright,

Between us, we know how much it hurt you to put that jersey on. Consider this an open invitation to throw the First Pitch at a game next season.

Love,
YOUR Toronto Blue Jays 💙🇨🇦 #WANTITALL
