A recovery night for the Canadiens in every sense from goaltending, to goals, to physicality in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal.

Also, the Wilde Cards is a look at the myth of poor defence versus the truth of poor netminding.

The Canadiens crushed the Oilers 5-on-5 but they were no match for the refs 19-on-2.

As MSL said, they lost but they weren’t beaten.

Here’s the Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal.

Call of the Wilde: Montreal Canadiens fall to the Edmonton Oilers - Montreal | Globalnews.ca
The Montreal Canadiens ability to keep the puck out of their own net this season has been a huge key to their six wins in eight starts, but the Oilers can flip that switch.

"It is at this point that First Nations in Alberta, representing Treaties 6, 7 and 8, must remind Albertans and their leaders that the aforementioned Treaties predate Alberta. "
Piikani Nation Chief statement regarding the Potential for Alberta Separation For Immediate Release May 1, 2025 The following can be attributed in whole or in part to Troy Knowlton, Chief of the Piikani Nation “There is no question that the results of the recent federal election have exacerbated pre-existing regional tensions in Canada. It is understandable that many people in the west are frustrated that their rejection of the Liberal Party was not mirrored in other parts of Canada. That frustration has led to several initiatives seemingly designed to give Albertans a path to renegotiation of confederation or indeed separation. There is talk of a “what’s next” panel to discuss alternatives to the federal status quo. Premier Smith and her government introduced Bill 54, lowering the threshold for signatures required to place a separation question on a ballot. Some organizers are claiming that they are already gathering signatures at a rate that could reach that threshold. It is at this point that First Nations in Alberta, representing Treaties 6, 7 and 8, must remind Albertans and their leaders that the aforementioned Treaties predate Alberta. Those are Treaties with the Crown, and Alberta lacks the authority to interfere with or negate those Treaties. Proceeding down a path towards separation cannot be undertaken without the consent of Alberta’s First Nations. We are here, we will aggressively protect our historic Treaty rights and our inherent rights, and we will require that the Crown’s obligations to First Nations be honoured and fulfilled.” Troy (Bossman) Knowlton, Chief Piikani Nation

"It is of blatant disregard on your part to think that our people do not have a voice, we are the First Peoples of this land called Turtle Island."

As the people of Sunchild First Nation, we remind you that you are on Treaty Lands. We signed Treaties prior to the establishment of provinces, we did not cede any lands to the province. It is of blatant disregard on your part to think that our people do not have a voice, we are the First Peoples of this land called Turtle Island. We will not be subjects to an inclusion of a separation. We as Sunchild First Nation do not give “consent” to your efforts. Be mindful that, as a Nation, we are here, and continue to maintain our footprint on these lands, as our ancestors did. We demand that you “Cease”, your separatist effort immediately. We stand in solidarity with other First Nation Governments opposing this effort. Sincerely, signature Chief Joey Pete Pesim Awasis Sunchild First Nation #202 Treaty No. 6 Territory

Saddle Lake Cree Nation Treaty No. 6 Territory

" Our treaties are non-negotiable, and any attempt to infringe upon them will be met with unwavering resistance."
Saddle Lake Cree Nation Box 100, Saddle Lake, AB T0A 3T0 780-726-3829 www.slcn125.ca • Inquiries@saddlelake.ca Wednesday, April 30, 2025 Saddle Lake Cree Nation Treaty No. 6 Territory 1010 - 50th Street Saddle Lake, AB T0A 3T0 Premier Danielle Smith Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, AB T5K 2B6 Saddle Lake Cree Nation Premier Danielle Smith Re: Election Act Changes and Separation Aspirations Onihcikiskwapowin — Saddle Lake Cree Nation will not accept any movement by your government to separate from Canada, as Alberta has no legal or inherent standing to do so. You are creating a national crisis to serve your own political agenda by working to establish a referendum on separation. Take Back Alberta and your supporters appear to be fueling a confrontation with the Government of Canada. But we remind you — these lands you call Alberta are not yours. They are ours. We are the only sovereigns on our territories. Treaty No. 6 was entered into by our Peoples in 1876 — long before the Province of Alberta was created. Your recent actions, in the aftermath of a federal election and during a trade dispute with the United States, suggest a dangerous and misguided belief that separation is a viable path forward. Treaty trumps Canadian law, Premier Smith. And if you have any aspirations for further economic prosperity derived from our lands, you must back off. Our Treaties are paramount. The Province of Alberta has no authority to override the Treaty relationship and obligations. Your pursuit of separation is not only an affront to our inherent and sovereign rights but a direct violation of the legal and historical foundations of this land. Alberta’s attempts to circumvent the Treaty No. 6 agreements are not just offensive to the Constitution — they are an attack on the sacred, nation-to-nation agreements our ancestors signed in good faith. continuation from page 1 : We will not stand idly by as your government attempts to erode and undermine the agreements that precede your province’s existence. The treaties are not symbolic — they are binding legal commitments that your government must honour. Any move to nullify or sidestep them is a declaration of open hostility against our Peoples. Furthermore, your rhetoric and actions are stirring unrest and threatening the stability of both Alberta and Canada. This separatist agenda is not merely a provincial issue — it risks economic turmoil, social division, and national instability. Our treaties are non-negotiable, and any attempt to infringe upon them will be met with unwavering resistance. Saddle Lake Cree Nation (Onihcikiskwapowin) one more page - see next image We are also aware of changes proposed under the Alberta Election Act, which suggest the Chief Electoral Officer may allow polling stations on reserve. Let us be clear: the 12,000 tribal members of Onihcikiskwapowin — Saddle Lake Cree Nation — have not and will not sell out our rights to support your separatist ambitions. We stand in solidarity with all tribal governments who have issued statements opposing this effort. If Albertans do not wish to remain on our Treaty lands, then perhaps relocation is in order. And should any provincial territorial organization speak of “cooperation” or “economic reconciliation” without clearly opposing separation, know this — we do not give our consent, and it is our consent that you legally require. Sincerely, signature Chief Jason Whiskeyjack ᐅᒥᐦᐦᑲᓂᑫᐘᐤ Onihcikiskwapowin (Saddle Lake Cree Nation) Treaty No. 6 Territory

Just a reminder.

There is no Alberta without Canada.

The separatists in Alberta are a loud and vocal minority.

Real Albertans need to start getting louder than them.

Now.

Thinking about series for a moment.

The Habs needs are clear:

- top priority is 2C. They can’t win matchups even at home without a 2C.

- Another top 4 D. They hope Reinbacher is him.

- They need to be nastier. Not only Xhekaj in but more nasty/pain inducers bc NHL wants a war for the cup.

The arrival of a 1st pair on defence, the Laine dilemma, and what must Ivan Demidov be thinking in his first fortnight in the NHL.

Canadiens fans are in for years of excitement is the message even in defeat in game 4.

They’re a really good hockey team that’s playing very well since the 4 Nations, and down the stretch, and they’ve got a line that’s playing as good as any line in the NHL right now. So they’re a good team, and they’re going to push you, and they’re going to play like they did tonight.” - Carbery
