[What if the Leafs/Sharks game in Epic was covered by TSN? Spoilers Him/Us/Epic (Sarina Bowen, Elle Kennedy)]

NHL | TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS | SAN JOSE SHARKS

“He was f***ing incredible”: Maple Leafs’ Wesley on playing against husband

TSN.ca Staff

SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks victory last night will be one to remember for their unlikely hero, emergency back-up goalie Jamie Canning – husband of star Maple Leafs forward Ryan Wesley. The game made history, being the first time a married couple has played in an NHL game, and facing each other across the ice on opposing teams, at that.

“I was sitting there in the opponents jersey thinking, ‘Wes is going to kill me’,” said Canning. “I hoped that I would just have to sit there and open the bench door for the line changes. And I’d never had better seats for one of Wes’s games.”

It was a few minutes into the third period that 25-year-old Canning, a Toronto major junior hockey coach, was called into action for San Jose, tasked with facing a Leafs team where his husband started as a rookie almost three years ago. Canning, originally from California’s Marin County, came away with a 4-3 victory for the Sharks in his NHL debut, shutting Toronto out for the duration of his shift in net.

“He was f***ing incredible”, said Wesley. “We didn’t know who the back-up’s back-up was going to be until he was announced and skated onto the ice. At first I didn’t know what was happening. Watching my teammates playing against my own husband was so f***ing trippy.”

Once a prospect for the Detroit Red Wings, Jamie Canning was a formidable college goaltender in his senior year at Rainier when they clinched a spot in the Frozen Four. His Tigers were eliminated in the semifinals, but Wesley’s own Northern Mass went on to win the NCAA championship that year. Despite playing in the same tournament, the two never faced off against each other.

Until now. Injuries meant that Canning, who was already at the arena to cheer the Leafs on with his family, was asked to dress as a last-resort back-up for the now-starting goaltender Tim Pitti. A pile-up on the 101 meant that a back up goalie from AHL-affiliate San Jose Barracuda would not make the arena in time for the puck drop.

“I am on the emergency back-up list for the league, but nobody ever gets called,” said Canning, who wore number 33 for the game. “Every now and then you hear stories about an accountant who gets called up to play one period for the Rangers or the Kings, but those are practically fables, rare situations that allow an everyday Joe to live out his professional athlete dreams. I couldn’t say no.”

After the second intermission, Sharks netminder Tim Pitti was levelled following a punishing hit by two Maple Leafs’ forwards, and Canning answered the bell. Toronto had led 3-1 after the first two periods, but Canning made saves on every shot the Leafs fired on him, allowing the Sharks to come back with three more goals of their own.

“Look at J-Bomb go!”, forward Blake Riley was heard to shout from the Maple Leafs’ bench. Riley is close to the pair, who he has dubbed ‘Wesmie’, and is romantically involved with Canning’s sister Jessica.

The moment when the husbands came face-to-face arrived with five minutes left on the clock. Wesley found himself on a breakaway, charging towards where his other half stood guard. Some say that they had seen Canning stick his tongue out at Wesley when his glove closed around the puck, denying him the goal.

Toronto was not able to tie up the game.

“Of course I’m disappointed that we didn’t win”, said Wesley. “But I can’t deny that I’m happy for Jamie. He deserves it.”

After the defeat, Wesley’s teammates are understood to not hold any ill feelings towards Canning, who has proudly been called a member of the Maple Leafs’ family ever since their relationship was revealed two years ago.

Said Toronto forward Matt Eriksson, “When I heard that Canning was headed into the Shark’s net, I thought ‘s***, this is going to be epic’, and he was.”

Wesley and a few Leafs were seen graciously celebrating with Canning and his new teammates at a local San Jose bar after the game. Wesley had been told, “you can have your goalie back after we buy him a drink.”

“He saved our butts tonight,” said Nik Sokolav, San Jose’s star forward. “It was a big surprise to us in our locker room when we figured out who he was. I thought, ‘no f***ing way is this guy going to be our back-up goalie, he’s just going to hand the game to Ryan Wesley’. But he said nothing would make him happier than to kick his hubby’s a**, and I guess he did.”

A correspondent for TSN reports that Tim Pitti, seen at the bar with his arm in a sling, bought a round of drinks for both teams. Said Wesley, “we lent you Toronto’s best goalie coach. It’s time to pay up.”

Canning will return to Toronto this weekend where his major junior team will play their game against Niagara. In spite of his dedication to his coaching career, Canning is rumored to be a target for the Ottawa Senators, who are looking to bolster their goaltender ranks.

Jamie Canning married Ryan Wesley after Wesley’s rookie year with the Maple Leafs, in which he came out as the first openly gay player in the NHL. The two had been childhood friends, having attended hockey camp together at Lake Placid, New York, every summer since they were both 13 years-old.

Reseña: «HIM» de Elle Kennedy & Sarina Bowen.

Sobre la historia En su adolescencia, Jamie Canning y Ryan Wesley se hicieron mejores amigos al pasar juntos cada verano en un campamento de verano de Hockey sobre hielo. Sin embargo, algo que Jamie no comprende es porqué de un día a otro perdieron contacto. No es hasta que ambos se encuentran en su último año de universidad, que sucede un encuentro inesperado cuando sus respectivos equipos de hockey coinciden en el mismo hotel. Esto es todo lo que Ryan necesita para volver a pensar en Jamie, finalmente tomando la decisión de ser sincero con su amigo sobre la última noche en el campamento, pensando que así podría retomar su amistad... pero encontrándose en su lugar más de aquello que pretendía dejar atrás.

Calificación: 2,5 estrellas.

Opinión personal disponible en goodreads: link

«I've always kept my memories of Canning to myself. Because they're mine. For six weeks every summer, he was mine.»

«"Summer is a total cocktease." He shrugs, repeating himself. "It always ends."»

«Warm skin slides against mine, and I know I'm home. Because home is with him.»

Blade: Trinity (2004)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Blade: Trinity has machine gun fire in dark environments, multiple scenes where the room lights flicker, and a minor strobe effect that happens as people disintegrate, which happens several times. The first scene has an unpredictable, extreme, and pointless strobe effect. There are brief strobe effects in the stylized opening and closing credits.

There is some peril at extreme heights. Outside of some fast camera work during action scenes, all of the camera work in this film is either stationary or very smooth.

Flashing Lights: 10/10. Motion Sickness: 2/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: A lot of blood is shown. Late in the film, three dogs are implied to die, with no resolution of whether or not they actually do.

Dicen que nunca hay que escuchar detrás de las puertas porque sorpresas te podés llevar. Este no es el caso de Lola, quien no tendría que haber estado escuchando la conversación que estaban teniendo sus padres al decir que ella es adoptada.

Sin embargo, ella comienza a aprender que hay cosas que no se mezclan y tendrá que tomar decisiones para no hundirse mientras intenta sobrevivir sin lastimar a nadie en el proceso.

Book Chat: Him

by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

Source: Google Images

They don’t play for the same team. Or do they?

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend…and a big one to learn about himself.

Exceeded My Expectations, T'was Cute

Whenever a book gets to a level of hype, I always become skeptical and a tad bit afraid of how I might feel about it if I were to read it. That's what happened with Him. Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for my sister and mother picking up my next read, this would most likely still be on my TBR list.

Now that I've finished Him, wow. A lot of things surprised me here, in a good way. First being Jamie's career. I really liked how the authors emphasized his dilemma, makes reading Him more relatable even though I am no athlete nor dude, or even bisexual. Another being Wes's character. Upon starting this book, I never would have expected this man to constantly be in battle with his confident gay side and his panicked gay side. I might not like how he always runs when he's scared (in a certain aspect) but I loved reading when he's struggling between his two gay personas. It was entertainingly funny because one would assume the man who recently realised he's bi to panic more, but no. Jamie was one extremely confident bisexual despite only realising his sexuality after reuniting with Wes.

Before Him, I have never read a Sarina Bowen book or an Elle Kennedy book. And so I am not familiar with their writing style nor who was more in charged of which character. However, the way this book was co-written, I had a great time with it. I was delightfully taken aback at how many good one-liners there were; they were funny or impactful enough to stick with me.

All in all, yeah, Him deserved its hype. It's not my favourite but it's higher up on the list of books I enjoyed.

Rating: ★★★★☆
