My precious brother didn’t get to turn fifty, so the rest of us will celebrate his legacy today. I love you my buddy.

On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history. Here are some of the Canadian stories from that day. 📸 LAC 🧵1/12

Marty St. Louis & Cole Caufield: Like father, like son.

Congratulations to Nick Suzuki, third #GoHabsGo captain to win the Selke Trophy and to Cole Caufield for taking home the Lady Byng. Honourable mention to Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes for finishing second and fourth in Calder voting, MSL, fifth for the Adams and Lane Hutson, sixth in Norris voting.

On saying farewell to Brendan Gallagher: habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2026/06/bles... #GoHabsGo

Oh, Gally! We're going to miss our little warrior so much! His tears are like little drops of acid on our hearts. (He does NOT sound pleased with Marty though.) #GoHabsGo

I would like to thank the #GoHabsGo for being a bloody entertaining group. This has been a personally rotten year, so the joy they have given has been so uplifting and hopeful. See you next year, you beautiful bastards!

So, how do the Habs practice to avoid this situation next year? Do they do line rushes with the skill guys against the biggest dudes on the team? Whatever they do, they have to learn to cope with a heavy, fast forecheck.

Just let Doby rest. He's done all he could

Listen, naysayers. This has been a completely enjoyable, fun season, watching our little baby Habs turning into NHL toddlers. They still have some way to go, but these toddlers are gifted.

Maybe it might be a good idea to not do the drop-pass on the PP entry that they've been doing all year.

No matter what happens tonight: I LOVE THIS CRAZY TEAM 😊💙🤍❤️ And it has been a pleasure to interact with all the amazing Habs fans on here. You guys are the absolute best fans in the world. Love and happiness to you all. Here's hoping for a win tonight, keep going boys.

"Gallagher is a player on Montreal that I admire. He plays a lot of the same game I played. Especially for a player of his size he plays with tenacity. He's physical, he's in your face and he won't back down. Players that have that character will go far in the playoffs.' -Claude Lemieux

So, what do the #GoHabsGo do with the torch now? It seems more than a little crass to bring it out again this week with the loss of Lemieux.

Things you learn: Just found out Claude and Brendan Lemieux are the only father/son duo in NHL history to be punished for biting other players.

I mean… not entirely inaccurate.

If you need help, ask for it. I have. There's no shame in it, and it's not a sign of weakness.

Remembering Claude Lemieux: habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2026/05/regu... #GoHabsGo

Claude Lemieux duet with Kathryn Rose doing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Feels extra poignant today.

Rest well, Pepe. This is a terrible shock. I knew that bloody torch was cursed.

I guess there's another year of steeping before this Cup is ready. #GoHabsGo

Kind of feeling like the boys have run out of steam at last. It's a shame to lose to these losers after the great Tampa and Buffalo series.

There's not a lot of anything here. I don't see any urgency at all. Two PPs and TWO shots in the period?

Nobody in the crease. I was content with accepting Gally can't keep up the pace, but at least HE would be screening the goalie on the PP

Wow. THAT'S a penalty? Refs are calling a super soft game in this series.

JEBUS! Nice save, Doby

JARO!!!!!! YES!

I've never really given much thought to Taylor Hall, but now I hate him.

OH, of course! Leave it MacLean to praise Carter Hart. He should have been sent to the trash heap with Cherry

I have to say, it's comforting that so many male #GoHabsGo fans are siding with the woman in the Carter Hart case. There might not be justice in court, but there is in society.

I'm all alone for the game tonight. Mildly concerned there'll be nobody to call for help when I stroke out.

It's the time of the playoffs when everything you see has some kind of hockey meaning. Heard a kid singing "Naughty" from Tim Minchkin's "Matilda." The lyrics resonated: 1/2

Lots of people are wondering which former #GoHabsGo player will carry out the torch tonight. I'm wondering which one will score the game-winning goal!

Is this what the NHL wants to be? A colleague who doesn't really follow hockey heard about Vegas winning and asked, "Oh, is that the one with the rapey goalie?" If *that's* what you're known for, there's a problem

Okay, #GoHabsGo. Time to step it up, get to the finals and save hockey.

No, Lane. It's NOT your fault! habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2026/05/hear...

Boy, is it ever nice to spend a couple of hours with a friend who thinks hockey is played on a grassy field in skirts and knee socks.

On where blame belongs...and where is does NOT: habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2026/05/hear... #GoHabsGo

Doing the only thing that can be done today: Meeting up with a friend who is barely aware hockey is even a sport.

Crowd of divers.

I hope Les Boys can recover from that. What a bullshit rule.

They'll call it back. What a shock

Goddamn offside challenge. I HATE that

Boy, that was slick by Dobson!

Ha! Suck it, Hall!

I know Marty says quality over quantity of shots counts. But FIVE? Come on!

Great D by Matheson on that PK. And Doby.

Crap. So a D isn't allowed to stop a forward. Okay.

How many minus is Dach right now?
