Sunday Notes: Hilarious Jost-Compher video, Sidney Crosby returns, Jack Eichel trade chatter
Good Sunday to you all. Crisp, fall day, lots of colored leaves. My kind of weather and scenery. Let’s do some hockey notes/links, starting with a hilarious video put out by the Avs featuring Tyson Jost and J.T. Compher walking through a haunted house, and some Jack Eichel trade buzz.
