Nate Mackinnon with his 44th non-empty net goal tonight brings him to within two of lead leaguer and better-goalscorer-when-there’s-something-in-the-net-to-try-to-stop-a-shot Cole Caufield. Nothing to be ashamed about to get that close to such a sniper. Truly impressive Nate.

A lot of SCOTUS decisions are dumb, badly reasoned, even dangerous, but merit compliance out of respect for the rule of law and the Court's position under Article III. A decision denying birthright citizenship is a challenge to the constitutional order and should be understood as such.

Ben Gvir's equivalent in US politics would be literally if the leader of the Aryan Nations splinter group The Order were elected to Congress and given a cabinet position instead of dying in a shootout with the FBI. It's difficult to explain how much of a supremacist extremist Ben Gvir is.

We need an updated Monopoly for 2026. Give me your best ideas. I’ll go first: You don’t buy properties, you can only rent them.

After 73 games I know two things: 1) Habs going to make playoff unless total choke, 2) they will play one of TB, BUF, CAR, or BOS. RE the Habs opponents, any of them could be home or away at this point other than Carolina. Boston least likely.

F’ing bruins - unbelievable

Cole Caufield career goals 164 in 359 regular season games = 0.4568. That’s just a tad over four goals every nine games. If he does that he gets 50 this year.

First time we’ve won five in a row in nine seasons

Put Caufield in FFS

I hate Kotkaniemi as much as anybody but I have to admit he’s playing flawless hockey again tonight

Carolina the most regular season team of all regular season teams. Our destination needs to have more grit than they have. They just never have guys who get you through the playoffs and haven’t had great goalies in while.

I do not think this team built for the playoffs but I do think the missing pieces are easily obtainable and window will start as early as next season for a deep run if we add a few parts

This is what can happen when you have a top 3 NHL first line and get good goaltending. It feels lucky but when you have this much talent luck finds you.

Dobes is a starting goaltender. He’s still a rookie and people forget this. All he needs is ability to manage adversity and slumps he’s got the skills.

Bruins down 3-0 and TB down 1-0

Caufield = complete hockey player

2-0 Michigan in first (Hage playing)

Somewhat terrifying game thus far. Last extra man sequence scarier than most horror movies.

Hage will play tonight. Great news for both Michigan and Montreal.

Top six teams in the Atlantic all have better record than the first place team in the Pacific

There are only three Western Conference teams in the top 13 in points in the league and the Habs beat all three in January

Last night was Ivan Demidov's highest game score of the season.

I am now a John Cena fan. Absolutely perfect response to a weird ass influencer move. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8bt25fx/

Hear me out even though I’m thrilled with Habs. Dobson seems like a textbook top 2 defenseman. He’s large, moves well, plays offense and defense. There’s nothing not to like. But somehow the wholes seems less than the sum of those parts. No response to goalie getting run over. Good but unremarkable.

It’s all about Ivan Demidov levelling up as the Canadiens dominate the Predators in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal. Injury issues in the Wilde Cards. globalnews.ca/news/1175013...

Demidov is getting better every shift

Man is it a pleasure to be a Habs fan post Montembeault

Sportsnet IT should be first to be replaced by AI for the 2/4 PP seizure and the consistent removal of the scoreboard from the broadcast

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

Probably Caufield’s only game with this many misplays and missed opportunities and not even a bad game.

Good for Bolduc. Been playing well recently.

Has Hughes made an actually bad trade? I can’t think of one off top of my head.

Thrilled to leave that period tied yikes

Struble’s best offensive game of his career

Gentlemen let’s agree to sit out the third and enjoy loser points then turn it on again in OT

Dominant Demidov shift alert

When we are eventually able to bring people back for the dead using regenerative medicine the first use cases will be NHL teams seeking to hire a recently deceased veteran coach instead of giving someone new a try

One of these teams came to play and the other is the Montreal Canadiens

On this day in 2014, Colorado Avalanche coach Patrick Roy pulled his goalie with 17 minutes left in regulation and down 4-2. While Colorado went on to lose 7-2, Roy has continued this practice to the current day.

Nice story on Hage if you haven’t seen it; I’ve been offline so may be old news www.espn.com/college-spor...

Honored to have a chapter in this year's World Happiness Report about the population-scale harms of social media. If you want a full rundown of the evidence that social media is harming teen mental health, I lay out 7 lines of evidence here. www.worldhappiness.report/ed/2026/soci...

For the first time, the law aligns with common sense: social media companies no longer have a special exemption to harm children with impunity. Their shield is gone. They will be treated like any industry that knowingly harms children. History will judge them as harshly as the tobacco industry.

I don’t know why people are impressed I used to do this regularly against my son’s hockey team when I was coaching and he was eight

@minakimes.bsky.social changes are coming now re social media safety for kids apple.news/AAAi_aaLyRhK...

Florida be like ‘what we do without star player Barkov’ and team Finland be like ‘win an Olympic medal no excuses’

We don’t talk enough about how much the two-time defending stanley cup champion florida panthers suck so bad lol

Ooof God is good. Sleep tight, Habs fans.

Jakub Dobes takes nothing for granted. Such an intense guy. Very happy for him - deserves the cheers.

According to the winometer rating, that victory is HUGE. You are all entitled to get shitfaced despite it being a Tuesday. I’m a doctor - so that’s doctor’s advice.

Look I’m not saying we’re winning the Cup but in English Jakub Dobes translates to Ken Dryden
