You guys, I love Michael Del Zotto’s Instagram account. Love it. It’s one of the most redeeming parts of the boredom that is the off-season, because he’s pretty much constantly on it and posting stuff. Sometimes it’s fun and frivolous; sometimes it’s actually related to his job. Like his recovery from wrist surgery, and following…

You know who I bet has the best life? Claude Giroux’s dog. And not just because he’s really cute or is probably a really, really good boy – although both are definitely factors to consider – but because he’s Claude Giroux’s dog.
