You believed. You filled stadiums. You brought the game into homes and communities across the country.
Most of all, you showed everyone what this crest means. Thank you.
Happy 250th Anniversary to the greatest country in the world. Lest we forget, without America’s Veterans, America simply wouldn’t exist. All gave some. Some, gave all. God Bless America.
SERVICE
I’ve been trying to put into words what I saw last night.
What struck me most wasn’t the fight, the venue, or the people in attendance.
For one night, the focus was on veterans, service members, first responders, and the men and women who have dedicated their lives to something bigger than themselves. I honestly can’t remember ever seeing an event of that scale centered around honoring them.
As I walked away, one thought stayed with me.
Of all the things I’ve accomplished in my life, the greatest honor I’ve ever earned is knowing that one day, when my time comes, an American flag will be draped over my body.
Not because of who I am, but because of what that flag represents.
Freedom. Opportunity. Love. Faith. Good.
When I think about last night, that’s what it was really about.
A country honoring those who have served it, and a reminder that there is no greater privilege than earning the right to be covered by the flag of the nation you love.
Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump , for opening the White House and creating an opportunity for so many Americans to come together and celebrate this country and the people who have dedicated their lives to serving it.
God Bless America. 🇺🇸
Happy Birthday to the Duke!

What’s your favorite John Wayne film or quote?
40 years ago today, Top Gun was released.
There’s something special about this opening theme. Every time I hear it, I get chills and emotional. No matter how many times I listen to it, that feeling never fades.
As the regular season winds down and with the playoffs on the horizon, this is my annual request to welcome new fans to the excitement and thrill of the playoffs, but hockey in general.
We all started as newbies at one point and needed fellow fans to show us the ropes on the intricate rules, player personalities, and traditions.
Be inclusive, not exclusive.
Hockey is for everyone.
Help engage your family and friends who've never watched a game or attended one before. There's nothing quite like the excitement of the playoffs.
This is how we continue to grow the Bolts brand and the greatest sport in the world.

Kucherov’s average shot speed is in the 95th percentile amongst NHL forwards. Additionally, he has 109 70-80MPH shot attempts (99th percentile) & 51 80-90MPH shot attempts (98th percentile).
3) PLAY MAKING ABILITY:
Kucherov has 1.21 assists per game, which is 1st in the NHL by a large margin. He is 2nd in the NHL (tied w/ McDavid) in primary assists per game (.71) — Pastrnak has .72/game.
