3-2 Habs let's go!

To me, any NHL season in which the Habs don't meet the Bruins in the playoffs should be considered unofficial and the Stanley Cup "winner" should be designated with an asterisk because the essential ingredient, Habs vs Bruins in a best-of-seven, was missing.

This is awesome. Do the Right Thing, need.

A white Texas State Trooper deliberately bumped a black Georgia player who scored an 80-yard touchdown against the Longhorns on national television. Now imagine what that skunk would do to the same black kid on a dark street in the middle of the night.

Ouch.

Devils lose top scorer Jack Hughes for two months at same time Habs lose Newhook four months. Injuries starting to pile up.

Every year, I think it's the season when the Bruins tumble and the Sabres climb the standings. And every year it's when the Bruins don't fall and the Sabres don't climb.

Jesus wept. What an ass Ben Mulroney has become.

So I guess Trump has both done what Hillary couldn’t do, and what she wouldn’t do

Surprise, surprise.

Anze Kopitar has played 1,468 games. I think that's more than I've watched.

I discount blowout games at either end of the scale. Games that get completely out of hand don't tell us much, whether you win 7-0 or lose 7-0. It's ugly but it doesn't signify. You learn more from the game a team was trailing by two goals and came back to win in OT - or the opposite.

Davis Alexander a l’air d’être en pleine forme. Assez pour danser.

Priceless 😁

That one is serious, Folks. Right knee injury to Alex Newhook. The knee bent brutally upon contact with the boards. He could put no weight on it as he went to the room.

Brutal week for the Habs. Back in the '70s there would be calls to fire Hughes and St. Louis, trade Suzuki etc. It's just a bit of finding their level going on. They aren't yet an elite team but neither are they as bad as they look this week.

2:43 am in Kyiv. The awful attack continues. I don’t want to repeat the same words. I’ll write to you in the morning – I hope it comes.

I shouldn't have to say this but while I'm a fan of hockey and the Canadiens, I'm a journalist first. As such, I'm not interested in trade speculation. For me there's no point. It's different for fans. If you find it amusing, fine. Where I have a problem is with those pretending to KNOW.

The fans hate the proposed rule changes, but the CFL is doing it anyway. Poll shows CFL losing fans as diehards reject rule changes ahead of Grey Cup search.app/EvvWT

We're witnessing the greatest sustained attack on the human spirit in history. Big Tech seeks to destroy the arts. They're destroying the school system. They want to make us lobotomized people who can't read, write or create. They've turned dystopian fiction into a manual.

Looks like JD Vance is going to need to change religions again.

And still more union blackmail. Big public unions that hold an entire city hostage are an embarrassment to the entire labour movement. These unions are bad for working people, bad for taxpayers, bad for students, bad for unions in general. They're only good for themselves.

Hab fans never let you down. An exciting young teams in the NHL is 10-3-2. One bad period and they lose their minds. On the other hand, the constant pressure is part of the reason the Habs have achieved sustained excellence. Look at Toronto, where they sit on their hands, win or lose.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I don’t know how anyone who actually understands this technology can even make the mistake of thinking that generative AI resembles in any way human creativity, outside of its ability to steal it on a scale that makes the Louvre heist seem quaint by comparison. It’s a cultural dead end.

I need everyone who uses AI to generate art & text to notice what Vince Gilligan says here. You're surrendering your brain, your creativity, the divine spark within you to a machine. Someday you'll wake up and find you're no longer capable of writing or thinking. And for what?

A spoon of electricity – that’s what I can say about today in Kyiv. Power outages are long. But, as I once said, I try to do regular things during them (well, the ones I can). Life goes on, just often in darkness.

THIS DATE IN #HABS HISTORY Nov. 11, 1989: Larry Robinson played for the first game against his former team as the Kings beat the Canadiens 5-4 in Los Angeles. The Hall of Famer signed with the Kings after spending 17 seasons with the Canadiens.

No shortage of former #Habs players on the L.A. Kings: - Joel Armia - Phillip Danault - Corey Perry - Joel Edmundson

The NFL will own 10% of ESPN, which licenses its name to a sportsbook. The NFL will directly profit from sports gambling. Goodell said in 2017, “We still strongly oppose legalized sports gambling. The integrity of our game is No. 1. We will not compromise on that.”

Without wanting to stick my oar in too far: It's possible to recognise that we have a higher standard of living now than in the past and *also* to believe that inequitable distribution is wrong and that widespread precarity for everyone but the very rich should be fought tooth and nail.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

My column on the Canadiens' 6-2 win over Utah Mammoth Saturday night at the Bell Centre, improving their record to 10-3-2. After 15 games last season #Habs were 4-9-2. What a difference a year makes: montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

#FunFact: with his goal tonight, #Habs captain Nick Suzuki reached the 20-point mark in 15 GP requiring the fewest games by a #GoHabsGo player to do so since Saku Koivu got to 20 points in 14 GP in 1996-97!
