The Montreal Canadiens have pulled off the 3-1 series comeback and are headed to the Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs after defeating the Maple Leafs in game 7.

The Leafs haven’t advanced past the first round since 2004. Toronto won three of the first four games against the Canadiens before Montreal took two straight in overtime to force the all-or-nothing game.

Toronto hosted 550 fully vaccinated healthcare workers inside the 19,800-seat Scotiabank Arena to watch the game after getting the go-ahead from the provincial government Monday morning.

Montreal moves on to the second round for the first time since 2015. They’ll play Winnipeg on Wednesday.

Costco is bringing back a pre-pandemic staple: Food samples.

Costco is “beginning a phased return to full sampling” this month after a 14-month hiatus. Roughly 170 locations will bring back food samples, this week with most of the remaining locations returning toward the end of the month.

So far, this is in the U.S. only. Locations in Ontario are still only allowed to sell “essential items”.

There will be some changes to how food is given out because of the pandemic. They’ve implemented increased safety protocols with the samples being prepared behind plexiglass, made in smaller batches and distributed to customers one at a time.

Costco eliminated food sampling in March 2020 during the onset of the pandemic.
