My son and I drove to TN in 2017, Northern NH in 2024, ( originally planned SW Ontario but other commitments got in the way). Now planning this trip to Iceland. Should be quite the experience.

I have two thoughts on this
1. We need more leaders like this
2. Have we all aged this much since Yo-Yo Ma played at the WH?

Todd: Canadiens have survived crease crises before and will again While Dobes remains an unknown quantity, we know that inside Montembeault lurks a goalie with a .900 save percentage waiting to get out.

I didnโ€™t know when I made this comment that Matthewโ€™s was injured . I was thinking about the playoffs last year when I posted this.
I understand he was injured last week.

The Canadiens aren't just a good team tonight. They're a good team, period. Young and with a ways to go but there is a bundle of talent here - some of it in goal.
Teams lose games. Even good teams. It's a long season. Other teams are also trying to win.
But have some faith. These Habs can play.

One way too look at the standings. If it werenโ€™t for buffalo the leafs would be dead last in the Atlantic.

Florian Xhekaj with the first point of his career. it could be a good career if he is physically dominant.

Then put his brother at the other wing and then let the pair demolish defenders on dump-ins.

This is the Paul Maurice philosophy of hockey and he's got two cups to prove it works.

We need for Caufield to never change- that smile is something else.

Wait till you figure out that what you were taught about colors is wrong- or, at least, incomplete.
Combining light and mixing paints not the same-

primary light- physics- laser light-your tv-red, green, blue-

primary colors paint for example - red, yellow, blue

I sometimes think these panels draw straws during the game to see who has to make the dumbest comments. Shortest straw loses - tonight , they all drew the short straw.

Some guy in SC -No mindset, no plan - can he keep this up as he gets older- Hutson? Are we all watching the same player?

Itโ€™s time to mute these idiots - I canโ€™t change the channel.

Out of market games here seem to be all on something called fan duel.
i can usually watch MTL feed or the other feed. Open the first one and if I see fan duel I know I picked the wrong one. MTL games donโ€™t start until game time. tonight since itโ€™s Toronto and only one feed it is showing the pregame

Missed it because I was watching TVA. Deep thinker said the Habs should target Jonathan Marchessault before Tage Thompson.
Alrighty then! Let's go!

Didnโ€™t know how bad this was- Iโ€™ve never watched a pregame show ( usually not available to me)
Ron MacLean promotes betting? With a big sports betting logo in the background.
And we have kids watching this?

People are far more evil than I give them credit for. But not to worry, according to the experts, this isnโ€™t fascism.

Even if Zelenskyy agreed to this one sided 28 or 29 point plan, the people wonโ€™t. Youโ€™re looking at 10-15 years of relative peace, maybe. With a global realignment, secret planning and rearmament, also in secret-followed by a world war.
