I have a bad habit of writing young adult fiction in between talking about hockey and the Montreal Canadiens. If any of your favorite books feature magic, adventure, spaceships powered by people who can teleport, wizards and/or mayhem, take a look!

Rod Brind'Amour on Sebastian Aho: "I've been fortunate to be with him since he came into the league. I remember his first development camp practice when he showed up and I remember talking to some of the guys being like, 'I don't know if he's going to make it' because he was just a kid. He was so little. But he just willed himself into becoming the player he is."
I would love for KK to score and complete the Finnish hat trick, but honestly he seems to be having a bit of a rough game so I don't really expect it. So long as the Canes stay focused and close this one out it's all good!
Sebastian Aho on being able to compartmentalize everything for the game: "It wasn't just me. I think the whole group has done that. These are unique trips and everyone wants a piece of us, and I think that's the way to do it too, but I really do appreciate how the guys worked."
Grubi stood tall 👏

The 15-3-2 @Canes have the most wins by a reigning #StanleyCup champion in nearly a century (tied) and remain perfect all-time in games played outside North America after Europeans accounted for all their goals in the #NHLGlobalSeries opener.

With a 2 goal performance today, Sebastian Aho moves into sole possession of 6th in goals scored league wide.
He’s also now tied Auston Matthews for 6th in points as well.
Nikolaj Ehlers said today's win was "absolutely special."
“Even Juice getting one — that’s what you want. You obviously want to get the two points, but seeing them score makes it a little more special. We’re happy we were able to get the win for those guys today.”
Sebastian Aho said he was actually a bit nervous before the game.
Nikolaj Ehlers: "I know he said he felt nervous, but he didn't look it. Even with those nerves apparently, he went out there and played the same way that he always does. That shows how special of a player he is."
Dear Pens fans,
Like you, I have no idea if the Canes are actually interested in Karlsson. But you can stop putting Jackson Blake in your trade proposals; the Canes aren't moving Blake.
Sincerely, etc.

Sebastian Aho scored his first goal in North America exactly 10 years ago, on November 12, 2016. Back then, Philipp Grubauer was also in goal for the opponent, and Aho fell to the ice while celebrating his goal.
"It's insane, completely mind-blowing. I heard about it before the game and figured it was good news. I'm not very superstitious, but of course it was nice to know before the match. A pretty crazy coincidence."
