SoooOOOOoooOOOOoooo this has been the worst “best time of the year for sports” ever. Nothing is happening!

Of course, we aren’t arguing with the decision. COVID-19 continues to get worse and worse and it is so important for everyone to stay home and help defeat this thing as early as possible.

Saying that, we all have different forms of “quarantine mode”. For example, I write articles on the term “quarantine mode” I just made up. Others maybe practice self-care, start a YouTube channel, conduct home workouts, or simply binge watch a show about polygamous tiger owners. Quarantine is whatever YOU want it to be.

For Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau, apparently that means chopping a lot of wood. Maybe too much wood.

In a phone interview with the Calgary Sun, Gaudreau explained how he’s been channeling his inner lumberjack. It may not be so much his decision as it is his father continually taking a chainsaw to trees, but Gaudreau is a willing woodchopper when called upon nonetheless.

Excerpt from the Calgary Sun:

 

“I’m out in the middle of the country here in New Jersey at my parents’ house, so I’ve been riding the bike a lot and my dad has me and my brother outside chopping trees down,” the 26-year-old left-winger said in a phone interview Friday. “I think we have enough firewood to last us for four years.

“We’ve been staying active for the most part, for not being allowed to go anywhere or do anything. But it gets a bit old after a while. I wake up every morning hearing the chainsaw and I’m like, ‘Yep, better get outside or else dad is going to be inside pulling me out of bed.’ ”

 

If anyone is short of firewood, just hit up the Gaudreau residence in New Jersey. Apparently they may have a little extra to spare.

Besides, who better to get firewood off of than a Flame?
