Clear car lanes, unusable bike lanes, two days after the blizzard (Tuesday aft). It’s a ton of snow & will take time sure, but you have mayoral candidate Brad “I sleep with a bat” Bradford trying to say it’s the other way around to gin up rage & culture war stuff.

Jake Evans was drafted 207th overall in the 2014 NHL draft. 4th-last player selected. Tonight he's the hero of the hour in MTL. Fun moment for a guy who had like a .1% chance to have a real NHL job at the time.

The puck control by the 2nd PP unit continues to give me an unhealthy amount of anxiety.

Refs won't be satisfied until Vegas has a PPG apparently.

Carrier trying way too hard again with that last pinch. Got pinned in our end and took the penalty because he overdid it.

Caufield to Vegas

Depth scoring? In this economy? 1-1.

If they won't revoke the offside challenge, put a clock on it. Play challenged has to be within 10-15 seconds of the offside breach.

I think Carrier gets too much flak at times, but I think his last stretch of goals had made him a bit too confident. Roving way too much.

Habs are in this, but we need any line aside from the top line to score a goal.

Anyone else think it's forced narrative for Vegas to get a Cup Contender moniker when their season record is a bit unremarkable?

Taking the night off of work due to not being able to leave my condo garage. Someone was either not quick with the brake or too heavy on the gas and broke the garage door.

My thought going into tonight is while yes Dobes is an adventure at times, I think I trust him more on the initial save and if the team keys on clearing/controlling rebounds it's a manageable problem. ATM, Monty can't be trusted on the routine save and that's more of a sap on morale/momentum IMO.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

This is batshit crazy. But Canada is close to this, our reckless lickspittle Minister of Digital Abestos says he uses an AI tool to summarize briefings for him. Our PM talks about using AI in government. Be aware this can happen here as well.

This probably doesn't seem like a lot of snow compared to what some people are getting, but I live on the 32nd floor of my building.

If you need to relax today, just go on Reddit and visit the communities for winter breed dogs. Those dogs are all living it up right now.

Sake of argument, let's say the Habs want to improve goaltending, the trade market is not flush in useful goaltending ATM. They can call up Fowler, but that's about all they can reasonably do I think. There's a lot of teams who'd love a goalie to save their season, seller's market right now.

So, call up Fowler again?

Six Fucking Seconds. I am sorry but someone has to be held accountable for this PK.

And we're fucked. Like 20% chance we kill this off.

Habs need an insurance marker in the 3rd, given that the refs are sure to give BOS at least one PP and that's almost an automatic goal for opposing teams right now.

What's the record for most goals in a game against the Bruins by a Hab? Asking for a friend.

We can complain about the penalty disparity but the PK is a disaster and it is actively costing them games.

Okay, is our PP going to do anything tonight?

You knew that was coming as well. The PK unit has been chasing the play all night.

On the one hand, the Habs haven't played a good game on a Saturday since they shut out PIT on Dec 20th (Stumbling into a win over OTT doesn't count!) On the other hand, we could say they are due for having a good one tonight. Koivu jersey is on, done all I can on my end.

NHL meanwhile once again does not care

Related: Anyone else notice how the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers, Patriot Front, etc. were always out there marching to support and protect law enforcement...until recently? They're never out there supporting ICE. It's so odd, like Superman and Clark Kent.

Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else. I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada. noraloreto.substack.com/p/canadian-b...

Hundreds of workers responsible for pollution prevention, weather forecasting, conservation and environmental disaster response are set to be cut from ECCC as Prime Minister Mark Carney's government takes a chainsaw to the public service. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/23/n...

Short of getting caught orchestrating a coup or assassination, this is absolutely the core case of what you expel an ambassador for.

Ezra Levant registered both Rebel News Network Ltd. & ForCanada, as third parties, organizations permitted to engage in political advocacy. NOT a news agency. Their advancement of right-wing / far-right narratives, positions, ideas, & goals is extensive on Meta #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/pHw9p

So you can't copyright anything you write with it, and if you use it to actually create something, they will own a piece. This company and this entire business model is for Suckers and Dopes only.

My only comment for the 1st period: It would be nice if a good 2nd PP shift was more than "don't allow a SH goal" but we are apparently not there yet.

Or, Heated Rivalry only exists because of CanCon requirements. Otherwise CTV/Bell/Crave would have just imported another American show. Just because it's successful doesn't mean that it isn't a product of the ecosystem it was created in.

please feel free to steal this image and share it with every outlet still engaging in this bullshit in 2026

It's 2026, and we somehow need Brian Burke's opinion on the composition of a winning team? Okay whatever.

You can't build new int'l institutions while cutting GAC. You can't push Canadian businesses to diversify without providing substantial direct support to enter other markets. You can't have a "sovereign" cloud w/ US hyperscalers. Carney's 80s-era policies are built for a world that no longer exists.

Canadians are going to have to come to terms with the reality that Mark Carney may understand that the world has changed, but he has *zero* policy imagination beyond boilerplate conservatism. None. New world, fossilized ideas. And his policies simply can't deliver what he claims they will.

Corey Pronman is apparently doing a Reddit AMA on r/NHL tomorrow and almost every question is about Lane Hutson 😅

"Surveillance companies rely on the assumption that citizens won't pay attention to how they're being watched."

We did this a decade ago with the Burkes, YCP etc. Where did that go? You can say it all you want, but you have to create that space daily and not crumble with the least amount of pushback. No NHL team has done that.

The only international summit held in Davos that should be allowed is the Spengler Cup. It's the only good one

People outside Canada: Wow, look at the resolve in Carney's speech! People in Canada: Wow, another meaningless speech right before he gives even more concessions to Trump.

Grok, the gas-powered deepfake-generating "anti-woke" chatbot that used to refer to itself as "MechaHitler," attracted a substantial investment from Canadians' pensions.

Don't forget the embedded sunglasses.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)
