Zacha to #habs? Yes pls! For C2, a 6'4" Zacha at 29 w/ 1 yr still @ $4.75m is a GREAT veteran option! Reminder: KH & JG are building a consistent, sustainable winning team - primarily by keeping high draft picks & acquiring younger core assets for the right $ & term.

Nope. This trade doesn’t affect the #habs at all. They will still play v Tkachuk whether he is in OTT or FLA. The Panthers chose to go big by sacrificing the future - like many teams do, or have done. While, the #habs stay the course and build from within for the long haul! They’re up for it!

Precisely why the fever dream of Montreal’s #cfMTL MLS team moving to the renovated Big Owe (as endorsed by Garber) is a precarious future for a dying franchise, regardless of attendance.

Team Canada the better team so far - but all the good play means NOTHING if they can’t convert! #canmnt

It has to be said: Props to #habs Hughes & Gorton (+ others) for plucking several playoff savvy role players to add to the squad to improve team balance: - Texier - Danault - Bolduc - Veleno 👍🏻

So #habs fans, while nos bleu-blanc-rouge were eliminating TBL with a 2-1 win off of 9 SOG… the Avalanche were winning their G1 v Wild by the score of 9-6! Did COL deserve their win any MORE than MTL did for their win (even though they GAVE UP 6 goals)? Do tell!

On another note, we anglo #habs fans in Québec have the misfortune of getting Cuthbert & Simpson in the booth - blaming the Leafs for being so piss-poor!

An ugly ugly game by #Habs 2-2 but we’re on our way to nothing bu crap.

Most hockey fans will be very happy to see the #sens ousted from the playoffs - mainly because of the on ice bullshit spewed by Brady Tkachuk. #thug

Well, imagine if his name REMAINED Tkachuk, but he was a player who has class and had reasonable respect for other players (not the street goon that he has proven to be)?? Dare to dream, #sens

The abuse that smug Joey Saputo has thrown at MTL and fans of the Impact (ok, club de FOOT #CFmtl) is disrespectful to an excellent soccer fan base. I am happy to switch to the #FCSupra instead, regardless of D2-D3 qualities. Fukc you, Joey.

Can a defensive squad really BE as piss-poor as this #cfmtl group - especially #5 Brandan Craig who decided TWICE to stand still while Revs charged to the ball to score! #JoeysFarce

At the same time, I am both happy the Leafs’ are out… - AND - I feel for #LeafsNation fans who have had a (mostly) terrible run since I followed the #habs back in the ‘70s (hello, Harold Ballard).

VERY poor execution and management for the communication of critical runway & flight activities by the Laguardia ATC - a DIRECT cause of the deaths of 2 pilots, & several injuries, some serious. Considering the risks were clearly known, this is manslaughter by criminal negligence. #AirCanada

I haven't met Gally, or Anderson for that matter. We really aren't friends, so no, I am not sad that a 33 y/o #habs soldier for 13 years has declined to the point that he is being benched in favor of a younger more productive player! He might have JUST enough income & savings to cushion the blow?

If #habs make a trade or 2 for role players, AJ Greer (FLA) could help! Profile: 6'3"/209lbs F - high-intensity, physical, hard-nosed style, w/ toughness & grit - Ability to forecheck, lay hits, & stand up for teammates - considered an agitator & embraces playing in chaotic, high-stakes games!

Hmm… after today’s debacle, the paltry #CFMTL has slipped to 30th rank in ‘watchability’. Quel disastre!!

Let's get real #GoHabsGo For TDL, #Habs will: - SEEK grit/skill core player - NOT seek a rental - NOT overpay for premium asset - NOT sacrifice 1st to win now 1st choice = V. Trocheck: - 32 y/o, 3yrs $5.6m - 2-way C, physical, grit/skill - Elite F/O & skating - Leader & proven playoff performer!

Tough to see Brady Tkachuk as a respectable person, or even as a mature ADULT - and yet he’s supposed to be a team leader in Ottawa? Oh man, sucks to be a #sens fan!

Our sad little #CFMTL club ranks 29th out of 30 teams for #MLS « watchability » I expect #FCSupra will be more watchable!

Bingo. This illustrates the sad fact that 90% of legitimate sports media (& 100% of less legitimate basement Vloggers & Bloggists) SELL MORE views, MORE memberships, and even MORE newspapers (hello Jack), by simply reflecting popular, but contrived hype, no matter how unrealistic! 🤢 #GoHabsGo

Suzuki helped win the QF game v. Czechia for #TeamCanada with his massive tying goal with only 3 1/2 minutes remaining. Apparently, Cooper’s smart player management allowed Nick Suzuki to be available to fill in at C for a hurt Sidney Crosby. (G & A stats be damned!) #GoHabsGo

A great match from @mirtle.bsky.social: Vincent Trocheck joining #habs makes 100% sense: - 32 y/o center - Good contract at $5.6m thru '29 - A durable "beast" bringing consistent intensity & skill - Adept at PK - Elite faceoff ability - 2-way versatility - Reliable in all zones - Playoff performer

Maybe not, but ref Eric Furlatt (1500 games!) should be held accountable for penalizing a trip that NOBODY in the building saw. Apparently FACTS DON'T MATTER! Or WHY can't the other referee overule a call (similar to the NFL) just to GET IT RIGHT? Or are thier egos so weak? #FML #habs

For observant #Habs followers, the face-off prowess of Phil Danault in key OZ faceoffs is a huge win for Kent Hughes: - Last night PD wins FO back to Hutson for Slaf's goal! - In Dallas PD wins FO back to Hutson who scores in OT! youtu.be/MDhKCh-rhFY...

A tough day for Michael Hage: - couldn't score on great chances - eliminated from the gold medal game - passed over by Hockey CDA for top 3 choices BUT we saw: - a 'quarterback' at C with ALL tools - a leader to teammates - a solid 2-way player - MORE value he will bring to #GoHabsGo at 1C or 2C!

Unsung hero is Phil Danault: 2 assists & key OT face-off win to Lane Hutson...🏮 #gohabsgo

To fellow #habs fans frustrated by ‘meh’ shoot-outs: Re-watch Demidov’s textbook break-away goal vs. Bruins. NO slow motion, NO winding & predictable approach, ADD urgency with quick fake & deception! Suzuki should consider this to increase his successes from 20% to 50%! #gohabsgo

The #gohabsgo are positioned well right now with a .529 winning % (18W & 16L - aka: 18-12-4) with good things to come: - Return of: Dach 12/28, Guhle 1/8, Laine 2/28, Newhook 3/17 - Addition and/or stability at 2C - Return to stability at GK - Addition of 1-2 veteran role-players (FA auction?)

Seems to be an intelligent use of the NHL collective bargaining rule allowing a waivers player a conditioning stint in the AHL. Sam Montembealt needs a re-trenching to get back to his solid GK production. #gohabsgo

Oh, Gally…. Have you really lost your scoring touch? This getting a bit sad for the NHL. #GohabsGo

#Habs continue to make strategic decisions for a sustainable & consistently winning team for the long term. Not just to win NOW at all cost! I see JF back in Laval soon with JD as 1a, & SM as 1b. p.s. soon AAV for 2 strong GK will be too HIGH, & 1 must be moved, Maybe MS stays as BU? #GoHabsGo

Brian's COTW is spot on for the reality on #habs: - young, inexperienced, & poor reaction to game context - overpaid veterans not filling needs This BEGS for a trade that brings in an experienced role player who can address most issues, but WITHOUT giving up key young pieces of the future! 🤷‍♂️

Owen Beck being called up to #habs MUST be related to the team having a poor face-off record (esp. with Evans out) in recent games...

A great moment for #habs with Fowler joining the NHL! (I still remember attending a 2007 exhibition game for Carey Price in HIS first match in Canadiens colours... except that his mask had the Tri-City Americans junior team colours...) #Gohabsgo

The #habs playing well after 1 period, but.. Where is the Gallagher we’ve known? He continues regular mistakes on missed passes, poor shot attempts, and puck fumbling. How long will we be watching his declining play?

How can something so global and pervasive be SO goddamned tacky… INSULTING to fans. Not the least is FIFA’s quasi-oligarch ‘Johnny’ Infantino playing lackey with his orange buddy. Embarrassing that Canada is participating in such a sham! #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCupDraw

While the use of the autopen became a focal point for political debate regarding decision-making processes, the actions and documents signed with it are considered legally valid under current U.S. law and precedent.

Ryan O'Reilly is ideal for #Habs: An experienced & productive 2C signed through 2026-27 with a $4.5m AAV! Perfect term to allow a Hage (or Dach?) to slot in after. EXCEPT, a bad deal to give a 1st. Highest I go is 2 x 2nd and a prospect (Farrell or Davidson). Maybe Arber Xhakej 🤷‍♂️? #gohabsgo

The 'X-Men' are in town... #gohabsgo

Yes, #habs are at a low point today in their rapid evolution from bottom 5 to a playoff & SC contender. BUT, they are still the youngest team in the NHL and going through normal growing pains. 'need to tank"? ...please. #SMH

The #leafs really are on the decline. Sad that management has undermined team skill & depth! But - now time for #habs who already look very promising, even as youngest team in the NHL! @tlndc.bsky.social #GoHabsGo

So THIS is what Don Garber and #MLS cronies are inviting for Canadian (& northern US) MLS teams by moving seasonal scheduling to match UEFA etc seasons!

#GohabsGo would like a big physical 2C, strong on LH face-offs - but likely only as a stop-gap until Michael Hage is NHL ready in 1 or 2 yrs. Therefore, no existing contracts w/ over 2 yrs remaining. Yes, Pavel Zacha would be a nice add - but so is Ryan O'Reilly who may be had for a lesser ask!

COOOOOOOLE… GOOOOOAL!!! #gohabsgo

Any chance #gohabsgo can salvage an OT win?? 🏒🤷🏼‍♂️🥅

Down 10-6 at the Q4 3-minute warning, the #Alouettes MAY come back, but either way: PLEASE, no more Bethel-Thompson at QB in 2026!! 🤢 #AlsMtl #CFL

And… still a teenager! Demidov is such a big piece of a happy & fun filled #Habs future!

Distracted by Sportsnet’s Calgary #Flames broadcast team whose poor quality and homer-isms make me embarrassed for them. Couldn’t get a gig with the Stampede, maybe? 🤷🏼‍♂️

It sucks, but Guhle is still only 23 and has a higher ceiling still. Even #habs Serge Savard wasn’t traded away after he broke his leg twice! #gohabsgo
