Go see Dave play with the band! Go see Dave play with himself! Uh, wait, that's not what I meant.

My column on how winning culture Canadiens have created both on and off the ice helped them beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven-game, first-round playoff series #Habs: montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

TIL that I don't want to listen to Peter Laviolette.

My story on how the Canadiens might have had the Hockey Gods or the Forum Ghosts with them in Tampa for 2-1 victory over Lightning in Game 7 last night despite getting only nine shots on goal and none in the second period #Habs: montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

Brilliant!

An excellent read!

Happy Monday, Hapyy 5/4!!

The #Habs are headed to the second round after a Game 7 win over the Lightning. Here are some quick thoughts from the game. habather.ca/2026/05/04/a...

Takeaways for /TheAthletic from /ArponBasu and me as the Habs edge Tampa Bay in Game 7 ⤵️ https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7251145/2026/05/03/lightning-canadiens-nhl-playoffs-game-7-score-result-takeaways/?source=emp_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.f1A.Su5B.vJuQHsEAYMey [Response to a (1/2)

Zero shots in the period. How is that even possible? Fucking hell!

Fuck off!

I'm not sure if my stomach is upset because of that powerplay or after effects of food poisoning.

Here's your military boner moment t.

#Habs in 7 & don't forget to #MuteTheAnthem.

We seriously should treat sports betting ads like cigarette ads: ban them.

Here's link to Hockey Inside/Out Show bonus episode in which I'm joined by former Canadiens teammates and 1986 Stanley Cup champs Chris Nilan @KnucklesNilan30 Rick Green and Brian Skrudland who share their Game 7 playoff memories #Habs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0qT...

The six games the Canadiens played against the Lightning in this series have shown they’re ready to win Game 7 and not just experience it as some sort of rite of passage. www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

Regardless of what happens in game 7, the #Habs have had an excellent season. And remember, www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJsM...

Luckily he hasn't got to be up early tomorrow morning.

It's never run both ways.

My weekly Stu's Slapshots notebook, including Canadiens defenceman Mike Matheson being able to relate to emotions of #Habs fans in Game 6 loss, Jakub Dobes shining in playoffs, an epic shift for Phillip Danault and praise for head coach Martin St. Louis: montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

If my name ends up on the separatists petition, it was fraudulently added. I want to know if it was and I want it removed. If not, I will find a way to sue anyone responsible into fucking oblivion. Elections Alberta needs to get their shit together and find a way

The #Habs face a winner take all game after a heartbreaker in Game 6. habather.ca/2026/05/02/t...

Another classic as the Canadiens and Lightning head to a game seven. A ton of sparkling performances from the Canadiens. All the positives in the big picture after a loss in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal globalnews.ca/news/1182665...

“Re-write it.” Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said that after Game 4. He was talking about Crozier’s big hit on Slafkovský. The message still stands now. The narrative arc of this series, this season, even this rebuild remains to be written. www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

Gaaaah! I hate OT.

According to my meticulous tracking, Marty has used 217 line combinations so far.
