The only good Tkaczuk and for most of his career he was called Taychuck. First German born player in the NHL.

Darren Raddysh to Leafs - plan the parade!

Leafs are interviewing Martin St Louis type coach Joe Pavelski.

Marty said: (I don’t give up on a player until he gives up on himself). I won’t give up on this Habs team!!

Bonnie & Clyde watching out for geese. Worth a try.

I remember cheering for Habs prospects with the Halifax Voyageurs knowing that I’d soon see them in Montreal. Today’s reality is that I’m cheering for Habs prospects knowing they will be in Montreal for the foreseeable future. GoHabsGo!!

Noon and I still haven’t read anything about last night’s game. I was disappointed ☹️ and want to let it sit for a while. Buffalo played really well last night and Habs didn’t. I’m not ready for the season to end yet.

Some future team may have a rebuild to rival this Habs rebuild but it won’t be easy. This organization was rebuilt one step at a time with an evolving culture in mind. Each part of the organization fits with all other parts seamlessly. A masterful approach that has built a family atmosphere.

Take That!!

Rank Robbery?

A warm spring day so I resurrected this souvenir from the 1995 Super Bowl. My grandkids said Grampie is wearing a neon jacket. I well.

Happy Mother’s Day 🥰 and as a bonus it’s Habs game day!

SN headline - Chayka to meet with Berube in coming days. Hold the presses!!

I just removed the Athletic app from my iPad. They are now requiring a subscription to read their articles. I’m not ready to pay.

MLSE had a real shit show in Toronto today. It looks like they misread the room and were unprepared for questions about Chayka’s previous NHL experience. Pelley may have totally mishandled the opportunity for a positive change. I’m okay with that.

On a different note. I thought the performance of the national anthems was the best I’ve seen all year. Real music 🎶.

I was watching the Habs game at the cottage on my iPad last night. I was thinking that the Habs have played and won through all of the eras represented by these phones on my cottage walls.

I was glad to see the reaction for Dach especially after Demidov referred to this team as a family.

Fifty and Thirty.

FIFTY

Maybe send the letters to the companies that advertise during the game. If they know how many english people watch the game in french just because they can't stand him, maybe they'll do something about it.

Okay I have started an email campaign about Garry Galley with SportsNet. Their feedback email address was bounced back. I’ll try again to find another email address.

I didn’t like last night’s game because we lost and I’m having a crappy week. It doesn’t change my belief: (1) in what the team is doing and (2) that they will continue to learn and improve. Also Celebrini had an excellent game.

We are talking about Gallagher’s games - Brent Burns has 990 consecutive.

RDS tonight. I just can’t listen to Gary Gag Me Galley.

I know this won’t last. I promise. I’m following some of the Toronto hockey expert because I’m getting so much joy out of watching them squirm. I’ll get past it, Maybe. 🤔

My thoughts today are for Country Joe MacDonald who died

I’ll take the point.

The score last night was brutal but it doesn’t change anything. Goalie help is being developed. There are answers for the defence mix in the pipeline and our young stars still need consistency. This team is exciting but not ready for prime time. I believe HuGo will make the right calls.

I watched last night’s game while thinking about Xhekaj. With the number of cheap shots on Habs players I think that Xhekaj might have tried to even the score and risk the possibility of tilting the ice in Washington’s favour. Maybe MSL is trying to get him to pick his spots a little better.

The dreaded zebra affect.

Maurice, 2 minutes for looking good.

Change of pace. I wonder if you get caught speeding in a construction zone (double fine) that’s in a school zone (double fine) does the fine quadruple?

Bell strikes again. TV, Internet, and home phone down until sometime tomorrow. We can watch using iPad connected to cellular until then. Life is a challenge. I love technology.

Yesterday my 11yo grandson went skiing wearing my size12 ski boots. Incredible.

Great News. The Bell technician restored my service just in time for the Olympic opening ceremonies. Woohoo. 🎉

I see Kypreos dreaming in technicolor about a Laine for Mangiopani trade.

Woe is me. The universe has conspired to take down my wifi and tv and Bell has agreed to keep it so until next Thursday. They don’t seem to care that I couldn’t watch the Habs last night or check in with my BlueSky friends. I’m in the library now to catch up with my online life.

I’m liking the Avalanche. They lost to the Habs and today are up 5-0 on Detroit. Too bad the couldn’t have beaten Ottawa as well. 😇😇

C’est une bonne journée. Il fait beau et il y a un match ce soir contre les Sabres de Buffalo. C'est un match à quatre points d'écart et j'espère une victoire des Canadiens. GoHabsGo!!

That wasn’t a good call either. Incompetence abounds.

That interference call was ridiculous.

C’est une bonne journée. Le match ce soir est plus difficile et très important. J’espère qu’il est un victoire pour les Habs.

The bleacher report rated Habs rebuild as A-. They also rated Buffalo rebuild as A-. I won’t read any further. Their rating system must be terribly flawed.

On what's up with the #GoHabsGo goaltending and what role the goalie coach is playing: habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2026/01/goal...

Morning thoughts - trying to be fair. Last night felt like a blowout but wasn’t. Monty & Dobes make me nervous. Key saves are absent. They’re easy to blame, Fowler isn’t ready and no trade is likely. I trust in this rebuild and hope Habs stay positive. Losing close games can damage the psyche.

Caufield 3, Boston 2.

That would have been a fantastic play by Matheson but…….
