Great thread on that incredible halftime show.

Tuning into Olympics coverage takes me from “who is Hashimoto?” to, three minutes later: “wow, this really isn’t like Hashimoto.”

Why does it feel like everything that was once good and nice is being taken away, piece by piece?

Should have said hasn’t lost a game *in regulation*

Jakub Dobes may not make it look pretty, but he gets run support and hasn’t lost a game since the infamous one vs TB that prompted the Fowler call up on Dec 9th. I realize he hasn’t played a ton since then, but still very impressive.

A lot of bad calls on the Guhle injury by the doctors here on BlueSky lol

Imagine being able to write like that? Staggering.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

if I'm Joe Brady, I am absolutely trying to hire Sean McDermott as my DC. it's a good scheme fit with the players they have

It's wild that Sam Montembeault's excellent play cost the Canadiens a shot at drafting the likes of Celebrini, Bedard and countless others in years past. It's even more wild that now that they have a good enough team to win a round or two, he isn't good enough to hang onto a game they have in hand.

It's because he's small, you see. It's not in the rulebook, but it's a thing.

Glass half full perspective: The Canadiens are the youngest team in the NHL, and if they could get a save when they needed one they'd be a lot better than they currently are.

Take that, Jake Sanderson!

Cole Caufield est le premier joueur du Canadien avec un tour du chapeau contre les Bruins depuis Mike Cammalleri le 4 déc 2009 (match du centenaire).

Dernier tour du chapeau d'un joueur du CH à Boston : Mark Recchi, le 4 oct 1997

Pour citer le grand @so-lorange.bsky.social, c'est bien pour dire

I thought the a Hab was gonna have to get murdered to get a PP here.

How about the nights Cole Caufield and Lane Hutson just had against USA GM Bill Guerin's team?

Cole Caufield scores to break a tie for the 13th time this season, more than any other player in the NHL. Money.

What an incredible game. I can't believe this is how it's gonna end after all that.

That 3 on 3 OT was the full Lane Hutson experience.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple fucking rocked. Absolutely adored this movie.

Is that what that is?

Pretty disheartening performance from the Canadiens, taking all factors into account.

I enjoyed reading this story about Felix Auger-Aliassime: www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

You gotta take the schedule into account! 8 games in 13 days!

Youngest team in the league, went on the road against the team that knocked them out last year and earned a point. It's a choice of glass half full vs half empty.

Gotta feel for Montembeault. He was incredible as the Canadiens ran out of gas in the 3rd and OT. Nice point earned.

First Habs OT in 9 days. I was starting to forget how this feels.

He's 4-0-1 in his last five starts, so there's also that. The team plays great in front of him. He has 14 wins this season. Crazy decision to have to make.

I think the 3-goalie battle is over. Let's see Fowler and Montembeault duke it out for the top job and Jakub Dobes try to find his game in Laval.

Yeah the Chargers offensive line is in shambles and melted down when New England knew they had to pass, but you can't excuse how bad Herbert was independent of that. He was not good at any point in this game. Every playoff game has been a different type of disaster for him.

Tour du béret pour Alexandre Texier!!!!
