I think we can all use a bit of levity after this week in hockey and luckily Arpon Basu of the Athletic came in clutch with a story that reminds of the the little things we love about this dumb sport.
Basu caught up with Phillip Danault, the now Los Angeles Kings forward, who was part of last summer’s Stanley Cup Final Montreal Canadiens team. Danault had a lovely life update: he’s going to be a dad, as he and his wife are expecting a little girl.
Of course, family planning as a professional athlete is serious business, so the Danaults were certainly hyper-aware of when they conceived, and well .
