Okay, really stupid question, why is it called the Bell Centre when it's written Centre Bell?
Bell Centre = English
Centre Bell = French
And French grammar puts the modifier after the noun? So in a sentence it would, directly translated, look something like "the center which is Bell"?
I didn't know that structure applied to proper nouns too. Learn something new today? Check. I can be brain dead the rest of the day without shame. :)
lol. Yes, more or less. So where we would say "Montreal's Team", in French it's "l'equipe de Montreal"
speaking of, home team scores first
l'équipe à domicile compte premier.
I should convert the bingo card to French to mess everyone. lol

Hot and humid in Ottawa today. 32 degrees C and 38 with humidity. It's expected to last a few more days.
Air quality advisory here today, so I've been stuck in the house all day, but it's currently 27 feels like 33 where I am. This much heat this early in the summer has me worried about what August is going to feel like!

I almost, *almost*, started to type the RH humidity into a calculator to convert it.
21C and cloudy in SoCal.

OVERTIME! Wait! That's for another game. 3 on 3 until someone scores.
Nick Paul with the golden goal from Connor Brown. current Sens gets point? DAB
Those 2 have some real chemistry on the ice, looked like a Sens shorthanded breakaway on that goal 🥅
Shouldn‘t forget Jacob Bernard-Docker on that Gold winning 🥇 team too 🇨🇦
