Hockey, Scotch and music fan (Springsteen, the Ramones, The Hip, etc). My politics lean left but I can respect conservatives, want nothing to do with MAGA. Habscast and Recrutes.ca contributor.
It was a long day: had a fantastic big brunch with my family, drove two hours to go visit my mom at her long-term care facility (unfortunately she may have Covid), drove 90 minutes to get back home and then helped my daughter set-up the kitchen (she is having a few friends over for a later supper).

I think Cootes-Desnoyer-O’Reilly could be a good shutdown line against other teams top lines

Good first period for Habs prospect
L.J. Mooney of team USA. He is showing that he’s not only looking to shine with the puck but he’s willing to work hard defensively using his speed to create turnovers and blocking shots when needed.

Between illnesses, home repairs, laptop breaking down and the first Christmas without my mom (she did not pass away but she had to be admitted in a long term care facility), this has been the most exhausting Christmas ever.
I decided to be selfish and got to bed at 8:30pm.

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.

Call of the Wilde: Montreal Canadiens withstand barrage to take 6-2 win Boston - Montreal | Globalnews.ca
The Canadiens tried to win this one with talent, while the Bruins tried to win it with brawn. Brian Wilde has more on Tuesday night's Montreal-Boston matchup.

I said that the Habs should take Bolduc off the first line. MSL doesn’t do that and he scores.

I think I would consider Replacing Bolduc with Anderson on the first line for the 3rd period. They have not had much success in the past as a trio but it would’ve good to shake things up.

À mon avis, l'entraîneur n'est pas responsable des résultats des Maple Leafs de Toronto. Je pense simplement que ce n'est pas une très bonne équipe. Elle compte 4 excellents attaquants, les autres joueurs sont moyens et la défense est pas très bonnes. Leurs fiches n'est pas surprenant.

Coaching is not responsible for the Toronto Maple Leafs record IMO. I just think it's not a very good team. They have 4 excellent forwards, the rest are bottom line players, and an average group at defense at best. They are not that much better than their record indicates.

I went through every single Habs game this year to investigate if the #Habs have been getting the short end of the stick on ~Game Management~ calls.

Montreal Canadiens Penalty Troubles: Preliminary Findings
I’ve gone through each Montreal Canadiens game individually and logged each minor infraction in context, it’s time to figure out why the refs seem so off.
