Where to begin? [Tyler Bozak](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71017/tyler-bozak?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) went and painted himself brown for a Hallowe'en costume, and [everyone's happy about that](https://twitter.com/search?q=bozak&src=typd&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Also, NHL players got their escrow cheques yesterday, which gives them some extra padding with which to sit out for a few more months. Unfortunately, the Winter Classic already looks doomed.

My suggestion? Go read DGB's new post for a laugh or two. I'd say we all need it.
