‘Grandpa, what did you do to stop the Nazis when they took over America?’

What an incredible feeling to finally have a team this young and offensively gifted in the best hockey town on earth. Enjoy your night - see you all Thursday!

I’d like to see all the squiggles on the play St Louis drew up to represent Hutson doing three pirouettes before he skates in to make the assist

Laine’s facial expressions look as slow as his skating

I’m not saying I don’t trust Montembeault but I projectile vomit every time the opposition shoots on him

The patience of a veteran. What a player. And it was made all the more difficult for that line because they had a pylon they had to avoid the entire time (Laine).

If the Canadiens lose tonight I’m getting my Habs tattoo removed because they no longer represent who I am. How many of you are old enough to get this reference, inspired by their next game against Nashville?

I’m not saying Montembeault gives up big rebounds but one just came through the window of my house

If Laine is this slow on skates it must take him hours to get around in shoes

Honeymoon’s over because this is the first time I’m pissed Habs are behind since before COVID

Game is a tad chaotic / unstructured. Habs still haven’t played a smooth game among the ones I’ve watched (all but Detroit one).

These studio hosts are cringe

Seattle didn’t like the look of that three on one or that three on two but they settled in when it was a three on four

Pretty much always competitive until 1993 and it took another couple decades to realize we were just another team - don’t think we’ve had a single legit contender in >30 years

doug @drdougboston.bsky.social · 2h

Mine too.

It’s weird to go into every game thinking we should win / nobody is much better. And this is before the window has really opened. What a feeling.

I expect a similar notification on Habs game as what’s on Toronto game any time in the next 2 hours

He performs a little better drunk than Isaac but still not pleasant

It’s dependent on alcohol

John Oliver would be unemployed if he had that face and that talent for summarizing other people’s work but did so with a Midwest US accent

Modest Mouse usually pretty horrible in concert if that helps

70. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sex Sugar Magik

Don’t like any of their stuff since. But when this album came out it was a revelation. Listened to it for a year before the hits came and it was on the radio nonstop. Combo of hip hop, rap, bass lines etc was unprecedented at the time.

I was sure you two would notice the editing at beginning of ep 7 where Joe has the wire on him then as they’re fighting he doesn’t have it on him… watch that part again I rely on you guys for pointing out bad edits / potentially contrived situations. Also seeing the camera guy ep 6 before… weird.

Ownership is meh but I agree with rest. How soon you forget all the pain before the last few years.

$27.8m in cap space next summer with dach, veleno, bolduc, matheson, and arber to sign. lane’s new contract basically just takes the place of laine’s with the cap going up.

$63m in cap space the next summer.

all with the core (minus reinbacher and demidov) locked up.

time for a big swing.

#Habs Nick Suzuki on Hutson's $8.85M AAV: "we've built a culture here where guys are not trying to break the bank and I think all Lane wants to do is win and I think he's definitely set us up for that possibility moving into the future"
