Hey PGA: When the great Jim Nantz, who lives on Pebble Beach & has called 100s of tourneys, is blown away by an event, by the support, by the crowd, by the theatre, like he was today by the Cdn Open, how about giving it a better date than a week before the US Open? Just sayin’

Fans have EVERY right to criticize guys as PLAYERS when not scoring like Matthews/Marner. But draw the line between the player & the person. Recent social media attacks on them as PPL are garbage. The time both have taken to make hospitalized kids smile thru the yrs is priceless.

Graham MacKinnon (2nd on left), father of Nathan, is looking forward to the #StanleyCup parade in Cole Harbour ... and seeing Sidney Crosby’s father Troy there. The two are pals. “Troy’s the first person I’m inviting!” Graham said with a wry grin after being at a few of Sid’s.

Crushing day. Frank Orr has passed. My mentor. Inspired me as kid to be a sportswriter. Yrs later showed me the ropes covering car racing & pucks. A few yrs ago told me he“proud” of my career. Best praise ever. Sometimes your heroes disappoint. Not Frank. RIP pal. And thank you.

#sabres coach Don Granato says #leafs Auston Matthews should legitimately be considered as a candidate for the Selke as the #NHL ’s top defensive forward. Granato coached Matthews with the US Development Program.

Thornton said he played left wing in Switzerland. Asked if he was surprised that coach Sheldon Keefe put him on the top line with Matthews and Marner, he replied: "Nope." #Leafs

"He totally knew what was going on. No one will forget this night." Even legends cry. So it was for Darryl Sittler & Mats Sundin as they watched ALS-stricken Borje Salming get a standing ovation Fri. An inside look at a heartwarming heartbreaking night.

This is the scene right now on the street outside Rogers Place of jubilant fans looking through the window at Connor McDavid’s and Leon Draisaitl’s press conference in the #Oilers Hall of Fame. Complete chaotic crazy fandemonium.

What makes #bluejays rise into playoff contention so admirable is the journey to get here. Positive tests in Dunedin. Coming to Tor to play. Told they couldn't. Then Pittsburgh. No. Baltimore? Sorry. Now Buffalo. The resiliency of these kids should be acknowledged & applauded.
