Dater’s Daily: Bo Byram French Toast Cup Meal, Carey Price Unlikely To Play This Season

Monday morning – never my favorite. Maybe not your favorite thing ever either. We enter the final week of August. This summer has gone fast. But that means hockey is getting closer. Let’s do some NHL notes, starting with the breakfast Bo Byram had the other day literally in the Stanley Cup:

• That’s at least the second food item to have been consumed from the bowl of the Cup so far this summer. Jack Johnson’s kids ate ice cream from it earlier.
• Nathan MacKinnon visited some veterans with the Cup yesterday too, a day after his parade in Halifax.
