@BR_OpenIce Nobody is getting past the Vegas defence nor goaltending - if the Avs can't then neither will the Canes nor Habs. Time for the villains to claim what's rightfully theirs...

The Canes now have their 1st Eastern Conference Finals series lead since 2006... where they also won the Cup 👀

@ivan_8848 @elonmusk Did she forget about fuck the EU, or is it more: “It is difficult to get someone to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” Either way, Nuland is the chief instigator in this. Victoria 'Cookies' Nuland. A disgrace that should be jailed.

🚨@elonmusk Elon Musk: Nobody is pushing this war more than Nuland
🚨Nuland argues with Mearsheimer about who bears responsibility for the war in Ukraine.
🚨"I believe this war was largely a consequence of US policy. I truly believe the war was provoked by NATO expansion."
🚨"Is Putin a monster today—both domestically and in Ukraine?"
🚨"No."
🚨"He isn't!?"
🚨"No."
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Look, you had a debate about NATO expansion in 2022. You had a debate about Ukraine in 2022. I'm not going to rehash all that. People even accused me of overthrowing the Yanukovych regime. When they say that, they're literally parroting Russian propaganda. NATO, and I served there twice, including as US Ambassador, is a defensive alliance. NATO doesn't come to you unless you go against it."

@sports_outsider Precisely - was thinking that the top line should be split up and this is the way I think.
English
My takeaway:
Get Slaf off the top line! Something isn't right with him and he has been playing super soft since he got his ass kicked. Doesn't hit a thing and all his passes are brutal. He is holding that topline back, time to try Demi with Nick and Cole.

@DemidovHabs classic everyone jumping to conclusions after yet another coin toss OT - maybe after game 4's outcome you can start to speculate but there's still a ton of hockey left to play, and Carolina still has some major problems
English
I think this series is over.
2 straight OT losses will demoralize the heck out of a team.
Carolina is stronger, faster, more tenacious, more motivated. They’re just better.
The fact these 2 games went to OT with 24 combined shots is lunacy too. We look completely outmatched and barring a completely transformed team in game 4, I don’t think we can outlast this Canes team.
English
@wa2sb @HabsChronicle they should try to rotate 4th line in OT - and not tire out the 1st line like that - this one's on MSL
English
@HabsChronicle First line is playing like absolute garbage .. what the fuck was Slaf doing in this whole sequence??
English
Lane Hutson with a brutal mistake and the Canes finally hand the #Habs a 2nd loss in a row for the first time these playoffs.

Kallas is right that Washington wants to prevent the emergence of a genuine peer competitor in Europe.
But what she misses is that the EU could only realistically evolve into an autonomous great power through some form of stable long-term rapprochement with Russia. You can't be a superpower without stable access to cheap energy and raw materials.
And that's the reason NATO exists: to prevent precisely that kind of continental Berlin-Paris-Moscow alignment from ever emerging.

Henry Kissinger in March 2014, with common sense and a warning, which would today be smeared and censored by our political-media establishment as "Russian propaganda":
"Far too often the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side’s outpost against the other—it should function as a bridge between them… The west is largely Catholic; the east largely Russian Orthodox. The west speaks Ukrainian; the east speaks mostly Russian. Any attempt by one wing of Ukraine to dominate the other—as has been the pattern—would lead eventually to civil war or break up. To treat Ukraine as part of an East-West confrontation would scuttle for decades any prospect to bring Russia and the West—especially Russia and Europe—into a cooperative international system"
** Just a reminder that the people who sell themselves as "supporting Ukraine" destroyed the country

Kallas crying crocodile tears while secretly rejoicing at the fact that the EU-NATO policy of systematically provoking and attacking Russia has finally triggered a response that they can now use to justify more provocations and attacks against Russia and ensure the continuation of the war — the true goal of the EU-NATO regime.

Russia hit a dead-end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centres. These are abhorrent acts of terror meant to kill as many civilians as possible. Moscow reportedly using Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles – systems designed to carry nuclear warheads – is a political scare-tactic and reckless nuclear-brinkmanship. Next week, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how to dial up the international pressure on Russia.

Last night Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv. Once again, it targeted residential areas and civilian infrastructure.
This senseless war of aggression has to be stopped. We must continue putting pressure on Russia’s war machine and increase our support to Ukraine.
English
@kajakallas This is what your reckless 'dialing up' leads to. You're a diplomat, do your job already or resign.

Former Polish PM Leszek Miller has accused parts of the West of hypocrisy over Russian gas, claiming that views once denounced as “pro-Kremlin” are now being repackaged as pragmatic realism.
Commenting on remarks by new Hungarian leader Peter Magyar that the EU will eventually return to Russian gas after the Ukraine conflict, Miller noted that similar comments by Viktor Orban previously triggered accusations of acting as a “Kremlin agent” and undermining Western unity.
“In politics, what matters most is not what is said, but who says it,” Miller wrote.
He added that Western Europe is slowly rediscovering “the brutal truth” that factories “run on energy, not moral pathos,” while gas bills “have a nasty habit of ignoring political declarations.”

Accidental diplomat Kaja Kallas is doing extraordinary damage to the EU, but what most Westerners don’t grasp is she’s basically a Soviet nepo-baby of a very recognisable type: privileged, haughty, cosmopolitan, liberal, hyper-ideological and absolutely convinced of her own moral superiority and intelligence. You can easily find loads of these people in Moscow too, if you move in certain circles, especially around bars and restaurants at Patriki or Trubnaya, but they have tended to gravitate towards media or the corporate world rather than politics.
Her father, Siim Kallas, spent 18 years in the Communist Party and held senior positions in Soviet Estonia, including running the party's propaganda apparatus, before opportunistically reinventing himself as a liberal (like many in Russia itself) once it became obvious the USSR was toast under Gorby.
There's a lot of misunderstanding about post-Soviet elites because it's generally assumed there was some clean rupture, but that wasn't the case at all. There wasn’t much lustration and large parts of the old elite simply changed flags while keeping their old networks alive.

Kaja Kallas who - I kid you not - is supposed to be the EU's top diplomat, just described China as a "disease," specifically "cancer." 🤦♂️ Just as the entire rest of the world - including Trump's US - are deciding to re-engage with China, the EU prefers to insult them. Why would China be "cancer"? Because, in Kallas' own description, their companies are more competitive and this forces what she describes as a binary choice for the EU: "morphine" - subsidize EU companies - or "chemo", become more hostile to Chinese companies. Or maybe, just maybe, it's not binary, and if there's any cancer eating away at Europe's future, it's precisely Kallas' mindset - the reflex to call "disease" what is simply someone else doing a better job.

The morning after his long-time chief of staff was charged with corruption, Zelensky meets with Palantir’s Alex Karp.
Corruption - Russian, Ukrainian and Western - is why this war is taking place and dragging on.
