My brother lives in Calgary and attends a bunch of Flames games. I'm a little jealous right now.
Yeah, I think I just started another new feature. Here’s five favourite things that got me through the week, and a thing or two that I’m looking forward to this weekend:
1) Mike Cammalleri is back in Calgary! Of course, this is on account of possibly one of the most lopsided trades in recent memory. It’s a big hot mess in Montreal right now, between Cammalleri speaking his mind, a new coach triggering a language controversy (sigh…) and the general suckage of the Habs. It’s not fun to be a Canadiens fan right now.

3) 30 Rock is back! Liz Lemon as a Timeless Torch? That’s hardly a dealbreaker.
4) Today marked 37 days until pitchers and catchers report. Sadly, Jesus Montero will not be reporting to Steinbrenner Field…but Michael Pineda will!
