The Canadiens were sloppy which had to be addressed in the Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal, but for more cheery feelings the Wilde Cards is an attempt to assess what 2026 may look like on the forward depth chart.

Hint: there’s a lot of NHL players.

My glass is most definitely half full. These are the lessons that need to be lived. The Wilde Goats is actually a positive.

More positives are Danault and Montembeault.

And to round out the COTW, the Wilde Cards is Demidov’s path to the Calder Trophy.

The most impressive thing about the chart with this story isn't the handful of defencemen ahead of Hutson through 130 games - it's that he's tied at 113 with Denis Potvin and Al McInnis.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

One team wanted to win it in the alley; the other wanted to win it on the ice. And without a good goalie early, braun may have won it.
