Adam Engström & Vinzenz Rohrer were both 3rd rounders in a wild 2022 draft. I'm excited that Engström is this close.

#Habs have recalled defenseman Adam Engström from Laval

I can't socialize with anyone who dislikes Miller's Crossing. Handily their best film, by a great distance.

Nothing more foolish than a man chasing after his hat!
I think the weirdest part of spending so much time with the Coens this year was learning how many of our listeners think Miller's Crossing—the Coens' greatest film, and probably the best screenplay of the 1990s—is one of their worst movies lol.

On May 11, 1950, while working on the Rawlins National Bank in Wyoming, a construction crew unearthed a whiskey barrel that contained a human skeleton with its skull cap sawed off & an odd pair of shoes. Dr. Lillian Heath, now in her 80s, was asked if she knew anything about it...🧵

"X Gon' Give It To Ya" plays at the Bell Centre for Florian Xhekaj's 1st #NHL fight as he bloodied #LeafsForever Mermis! Florian received props from his team-mates while sitting in the penalty box during the TV timeout.

This will be a very fun show for @linecomposition.bsky.social and probably less so for @zachpayne41.bsky.social. Tune in for your postgame Habs/Leafs hang!
Tonight I'll be on with @zachpayne41.bsky.social for a crossover show post-game to talk about this game and whatever awful thing the Habs are about to do to my will to live (Yes, they're up 2-0 but I don't trust them)

This is the saddest, scariest thing. An ancient heartbeat of civilization is facing its final ruin as an ecological disaster.

I fear for all those people and I hope they find strength. The end has come for us all.

LOUDER NOW
If the Montreal Canadiens recall Adam Engström soon, I would not be surprised. Outright dominating the AHL right now....

The Ukraine peace deal brokered by the U.S. should simply state:
Russia will leave ALL of Ukraine by next Thursday or the full power of the U.S. and NATO will be brought to bear on the aggressor country.

While I'm on the subject of fixes, moving Slaf to the 2nd line did not fix anything.

Re-unite line 1, put Bolduc with Kap & Demidov, and Gallagher with Veleno & Anderson on line 3. Call up a C & run an AHL line 4 with Roy & Davidson.

That's where we are if Evans is out.

It was an absolute embarrassment in the D-zone.

Yes the goalies also crapped the bed, yes the coach was yet again out-foxed ***at home*** and yes the team is afraid of big bad Tom Wilson.

HuGo, you're up. On dort au gaz icitte là!!!!
To be fair to the Canadiens' greater emphasis on how poorly they played in front of their goalies last night, the Capitals generated 13 high-danger scoring chances at 5v5 per @naturalstattrick.com. That was the Canadiens' third-highest total of the season.

D'zone Coaching?
Marty's never heard of her.

Watch how badly they handle the switch offs in their own zone and tell me they are prepared.

I don't wanna hear about injuries - they went all-in for Dobson, they are win-now with bad goaltending & a peewee-level coach. It's time to act.
November 21, 2025 at 2:37 PM
You wanna blast on goaltenders, sure. But can I ask a team to cover the slot at all times & not let guys get high on you fucken constantly?

Goalies facing 1v1's point blank all night aren't video games. They will give up bags of goals from there

Don't look now, but a "washed" Elias Pettersson has just about pulled even in points with #Habs golden boy Nick Suzuki.

I was told repeatedly that EP40 wouldn't even be a good 2C candidate in trade but wouldja lookit that?

The two main reasons being between the pipes tonight.

Hate to see it, but this is how it is right now
Jacob Fowler, you're a Hab now

Jared Davidson looks smart to me. Seems like he'd be at home on anyone's line.

More of him please, coach

I get Steve Dangle levels of anxiety when Monty leaves the net, he's a turnover machine handling the puck

That's all I got, it's no fun watching this team right now with last year's issues completely unadressed.
