The U.S. looks so much faster, but Canada is using a lot of short passes really effectively.

Well, that's pretty darn cute. The Olympics are such a great vibe.

Yeah, this hit is one of my all-time favourites. Not a single question of it being a head-hit, just perfect shoulder-to-chest obliteration. You don't see yard sale hits often anymore, but it adds so much to the drama.

Love rewatching that. Found one in YT where he goes to Newfoundland and St-Pierre and Miquelon that was pretty good, too. Not as good as the QuΓ©bec stuff, but still worth it. youtu.be/bQUpvEaLqfU?...

I endorse this general plan, with the caveat that you might quibble with the value of Steve’s hypothetical trade returns (though I think they’re pretty reasonable) and your mileage may vary on his proposed replacement targets. But broadly, this is what the Leafs should be attempting.

America has mass concentration camps. That’s not hyperbole.

Going to see them with Florry at the end of the month in Montreal! Looking forward to it. I’m more of a Florry guy, but I’m gonna have to sink my teeth into this new Ratboys record.

I think I used a little too much white wine in the cream sauce.

Ah, Sunday afternoons. Is there anything more well suited to you than a new book and a few records?

Have been meaning to read this one for more years than I care to count.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

I don’t *understand* Auston Matthews’ backhand. It doesn’t seem to adhere to any of the ordinary laws of physics.

Feels pretty openly seditionist, right? Courting the foreign leader who has/is openly trying to annex Canada when you’re already in a separatist organization? Seems like that’s the kind of thing you could get in a lot of trouble for?

Journalists would be wise to not lump in a bunch of randos who have never demonstrated popular support for an independent Alberta with Quebec, where the next governing party was founded to create an independent Quebec. Completely different realities.
