Congrats to John Tavares and Team Canada on their World Cup of Hockey victory. And congrats to Jaroslav Halak for standing on his head and not breaking while leading Team Europe to the finals. And congrats to Thomas Greiss for... just being. And congrats to everyone who didn't get hurt.

And congrats to us to making it to Friday.
