Useless #Habs note: Only Mike Matheson (#8) wore a number lower than 13 in last night’s game. The only numbers NOT retired were: #6: available #11: Gallagher (healthy scratch) #GoHabsGo

The #Habs did what they had to do by making the #GoBolts pay for their indiscipline with PP goals. Cooper is one of the #NHL's best coach at making adjustments. Expecting a more disciplined opposition tomorrow and the #GoHabsGo will have to find ways to get pucks to the net at even strengths.

After last night's #Habs win over the #GoBolts, much is said about Juraj Slafkovsky and rightfully so. But one guy who had as big of an impact and who is not talked about today is Josh Anderson. The Powerhorse lived up to his playoffs' beast reputation. #GoHabsGo

All of them get under your skin, cause irritation and make you nauseous.

#MorningGrump Studies show that 99% of those who are told to "Hold your horses" do NOT, in fact, have horses.

A lot of people praising Slafkovsky this morning. Where were those people before the 2022 #NHLDraft? And what were they saying back then? Let the professionals do their job. You know, those who actually go watch those kids live? #GoHabsGo

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. Fat Satan would hate if you shared this.

Ever tried on the same size in two stores and met two completely different versions of yourself? Yeah… about that. #Relatable #Humour

We often search for meaning in grand moments, while it quietly waits inside ordinary days.

A rare hockey post from me, but this one’s been simmering for a while. The #NHL might be rewarding caution more than courage, and it’s quietly shaping how games are played. #Hockey

Okay, TV off. Your referees have confirmed that I had made the right decision, Bettman. #GoHabsGo #Habs

The officiating is so bad I don’t even want to watch hockey anymore. They are ruining the game of hockey

I'm being reminded why I stopped watching #NHL hockey. The officiating is absolutely atrocious. #GoHabsGo #Habs

That penalty to Guhle was questionable although it was a high stick (caused by the interference and not originally called). But that call on Slafkovsky is not something that should be called in any game, let alone in the playoffs. #GoHabsGo #Habs

Hockey afternoon in Costa Rica? #GoHabsGo #Habs

One shot on goal halfway through the first period for the #Habs. Might need a few more than that? #GoHabsGo

What if our approach to inclusion is actually making things worse? Grumpa makes an honest, no-filter case for education over promotion. Not everyone will agree. That's kind of the point. #UnderTheDustyHat #SocialCommentary grumpa.ca/2024/02/21/r...

Bob Hartley, who coaches Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the KHL, once compared #Habs prospect Alexander Zharovsky to Ivan Demidov. In a recent interview, he doubled down from his assessment, having seen him up close and facing him 4 games: #GoHabsGo

#NHLPlayoffs is where reputations are being built. Some in a positive way, others not so much. As the youngest team (by 2 years) entering the playoffs, many young #Habs are looking at building their own reputation. Hutson, Dobes, Slafkovsky, Demidov, Kapanen, Bolduc... your turn! #GoHabsGo

#Habs fans and media are (rightfully) making a big deal out of Noah Dobson being out of the lineup. He is a big piece of the #GoHabsGo defense. But the #GoBolts are, for the time being, wihtout Victor Hedman who is arguably an even bigger pieces in Tampa. #NHLPlayoffs

Wow... #GoHabsGo #Habs

#MorningGrump I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen too many of them get elected.

In 10 days, my wife, our two dogs and I will be in Montreal, driving to the Eastern Townships to write the next chapter of our life. A return home after 34 years away for yours truly. #Sherbrooke

So Trump goes to UFC. What does Pierre Poilievre decides would be good for his image? This... He makes Justin Trudeau's decisions look like good ones. #PoliticalSuicide #CdnPoli

For the record, the #Habs are done paying Patrik Laine. #GoHabsGo

You are what you do, not what you promise you will do.

Remember when some #Habs fans wanted to unload all veterans "to tank"? What they don't see is the impact guys like Savard, Matheson, Gallagher and others have on young players. This here is just one example. #GoHabsGo

Missed it this morning? A rare hockey post alert. Ever notice how teams ease off late in tied games? There’s a built-in reason for it, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. #Hockey #NHL

#MorningGrump Some people are so poor, all they have is money.

💯. And it should be prison time for putting corn syrup in maple syrup containers. The amount of damage that does to trust is insane.

There should be severe consequences for companies mislabelling products... Like Loblaw putting "made in Canada" stickers on non-Canadian products, or them being found guilty of falsifying the weight of ground beef, etc... #Canada

People who want to see PP gone so bad and think that it will solve the @CPC_HQ and Canada's issues fail to see the big picture. That party is a member of the #IDU, ran by Stephen Harper, including Trump and other far-right dictator-wannabes. They will replace PP by a clone. #CdnPoli

The #Habs will carry just under $2 million in bonuses into next season, according to Puck Pedia. Here's the breakdown: #GoHabsGo

What is one quality that makes someone truly trustworthy?

What starts as a playful shower turns into a slippery, steamy reminder of what long marriages are really made of. Hint: patience helps. You think you can relate? The link is in the pinned post. #Relationships #Humour

Amazing that the first year the #NHL imposes the cap for #NHLPlayoffs, Stone and Kucherov remain healthy by trade deadline, not allowing their team to load up. #VegasBorn #GoBolts

Whomever is responsible for Pierre Poilievre's campaign and strategies is certainly not working for the Conservatives as everything he says or does contributes to strengthening @mark-carney.bsky.social 's stronghold. I've never seen a politician being so self-destructive in my life. #CdnPoli

Kapanen, the most underrated #Habs player this season, and his fellow rookie linemate Demidov, on two of the top-10 most productive lines at 5 on 5. Funny how one fan base can downplay a player's effectiveness because he's not "flashy". #GoHabsGo

First round predictions, anyone? Will you get your feet wet, or will you chicken out? Here are mine: TBL over #Habs in 7 PIT over PHI in 6 CAR over OTT in 5 BUF over BOS in 6 COL over LAK in 4 MIN over DAL in 7 VGK over UTA in 6 EDM over ANA in 6 #NHLPlayoffs #GoHabsGo

#MorningGrump I have a condition that renders me unable to go on a diet. I get hungry.

The kids are gone, the house is quiet… and suddenly two fifty-somethings try showering together. What follows involves steam, laughter, and a surprising philosophy about marriage. #Marriage #Humour

Setting expectations on others will often lead to your own disappointments.

Hey Canadian media, why are we inundated with Poilievre and Scheer non-sense these days? Have they become government? We thought that the @liberal_party had gained a majority... #CdnPoli

Surprise the Lightning with this lineup: Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky Laine-Newhook-Demidov Texier-Evans-Anderson Gallagher-Danault-Kapanen Matheson-Guhle Hutson-Reinbacher Struble-Xhekaj #GoHabsGo #Habs
