Hockey Night in Canada starting with lots of chatter about the Blue Jays, naturally enough I guess, but just funny to see them promoting hockey games that many will not be watching.

Salle de spectacle | La Tulipe peut recommencer à faire du bruit, tranche la Cour

C’est une victoire importante pour le milieu culturel. L’emblématique salle de spectacle La Tulipe pourra recommencer à faire du bruit, vient de trancher la Cour supérieure.

My take is things are going to get tougher in the next 71 games for the Habs. I don’t think they’ll be No. 1 in the Atlantic come April. But I do expect them to make the playoffs for the 2nd consecutive year and it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up top three in the division. This team is for real.

What the Puck: The Canadiens are off to a red-hot start, but can it last?

Things obviously are going to get tougher in the next 71 games, but Montreal should make the playoffs for the second consecutive year.

The Dream Team - me and my bestie Geneviève Borne at the first-ever High Fidelity party at Robin des Bois. On aceu tellement du fun ensemble! @genevieveborne.bsky.social

High Fidelity made its debut at Robin des Bois Friday night and it was fabulous! Me and Genevieve Borne rocked the Parc Lafontaine casbah and it was the ultimate Halloween dance bash.

What the Puck question of the week. Habs are tied for first place in the Atlantic division. Can it last? Is this start for real? Or will reality eventually set in? Answer and see your name in lights (sort of)!

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

It was a wonderful evening Tuesday at StoryFest in Montreal with Habs Super Fan Sunil Peetush interviewing me about my book Habs Nation, Canadiens culture and why I think Maple Leafs fans like losing. Here’s Peetush, StoryFest executive director Karen Molson and me. #canadiens #habs #gohabsgo

I love when the pundits get it wrong. 2-2 Blue Jays Dodgers. Go Jays.

Dobes has pretty well the best goalie stats in the league, Monty the worst. So gotta go with Dobie tonite, right? Right?

Trump in Japan.

He has no idea what's going on, just wanders off.

His brain is cooked.

This is insane.

An extra factoid is if Demidov loses the award to Schaefer it'll be the first time defensemen have won the award back to back since 63 (Kent Douglas Toronto) and 64 (Jacques Laperrière Montréal)

You might well ask. When is the last time players from the same team won the Calder Trophy two years in a row. In 1968 and 1967. Boston Bruins. Derek Sanderson (68) and a chap named Bobby Orr (67). The next time it'll happen? 25 and 26, Laner and DemiGod.
