Wow. Steve Simmons says he spoke to 20 people around the league. 1 supported the Chayka hiring, 19 said it was a "sham" and called Chayka a "con artist," "liar," "salesman" Nobody around the league respects Chayka. Wow. 😬

@HabsChronicle He made like 5 amazing saves from in close, but seems like he can’t track it from distance. I would like to see how many goals expected for that game, we were bad defensively.

No joke, it's time to put Monty on waivers and call up Fowler. Nothing can be worse than this.

@Devin_Heroux @CBCOlympics @HockeyCanada Montreal

In a short time from now alarms are going to be going off all across Canada. Maybe some have already The men’s hockey game between Canada and USA is one hour away ROLLLLLLL CALLLLLL — Let’s hear you Canada. Where you’re watching and cheering from?

@manofbird @CanadiensMTL I'd love to see to the top amateurs only. As long as you don't get paid to play hockey, come to open regional tryouts. They make a TV show about it. And team Canada is formed. College kids, some random has beens, would be fun. I don't really get why hockey is different.

I miss @CanadiensMTL hockey and would be good with giving the Olympics back to amateur athletes. The thrill is gone.

@ivandemigoal You mean when he went for the hit , gave up the puck and kiviranta scored?

I was told these things wouldn’t happen with Arber in the lineup?

@BenbaLamb 10k$ per month for me.

Discussion of an interesting prop bet today. For the next 365 days the only thing I can drink is water from a camelbak. The water backpack thing. What’s your price?

@TheCinesthetic Oz, best show ever

What’s an HBO series (that’s not The Wire, The Sopranos or GOT) that y’all would recommend?

Thoughts on Team Canada at World Juniors: There's been a lot of discourse today about Canada's performance after bowing out to Czechia again. I've read a lot about roster construction, team toughness, how players were used during the tournament, and other things related to the team's inability to get the job done. These things may have been an issue, but reality is the problem runs way deeper. Here is the biggest thing that people aren't talking about: Canada has WAY fewer youth boys playing hockey than it did a decade ago. Looking at Hockey Canada registration and membership data, it's mind-boggling to see the numbers. And the numbers in the biggest provinces (Ontario and Quebec) are especially egregious. So why is this happening? Hockey is Canada's sport. It shouldn't be like this. It's what we hear every day from families all over North America: Costs are too high. It's professionalized at too young of an age. The stress of the youth hockey experience is too much for kids and families. Community programs have been replaced by for-profit entities leading to higher costs and more pressure. Development has been replaced by super teams and rogue/outlaw leagues outside of Hockey Canada even before kids are 8 years old. At the older ages, hockey academies have become what families believe is the only way their kids will make it - shelling out INSANE amounts of money to send their kids to do so. Ontario just got rid of residency rules which will only lead to less accountability and more club-hopping than there already was in the nation's craziest and biggest youth hockey market. The reason why Canada was the hockey superpower for so long is because it was part of the fabric of the country. There was such a pride and passion for the game and what the game meant to the flag. There was such a sense of playing the game for something bigger than yourself. Now rather than playing for the love of the game, hockey in Canada is like a job for many of these kids in the environment they're being put in. It's less about pride and passion and more about the path to making it. When in all honesty, it's the pride and passion for the game that is the biggest consistency in the kids that do end up making it. If Canada wants to restore its hockey dominance, it better take a long look in the mirror at the grassroots and what is going on in youth hockey. If you have tens of thousands of fewer boys playing the game, you should probably look at that first. The bigger your pool of athletes, the more elite athletes you can develop. "As many as possible, for as long as possible, in the best environment possible". That has to be the guiding principle. There's a lot of great people in Canada doing incredible things for the game, but the system itself is fundamentally broken. If Hockey Canada is serious about getting back to the top, it has to start at the bottom.

This is going to stick with me forever

@manofbird I remember working at a high end steakhouse about 20 years ago and we would tell people to take off their hats. Maybe 5 years later we had given up.

@paveetcie No sir, let alone backwards ones. Different times.

I understand it’s all in the eye of the beholder, but if there’s a better hockey picture than that floating around the Internet, I’d love to see it.

Looking for something you can play over and over with the family? Look no further. My most-played board games of 2025! A🧵:

@anthonymarcotte Spry young goalie, remind of Theo, small nimble, kicks rebounds, lots in the glove. More technical than Theo was so likely won't be as streaky. I'm impressed.

Je décris de la boxe présentement à Gatineau mais je veux vous entendre. Jacob Fowler, il a l'air de quoi dans le filet?

@MitchyGallo Réf whistles offside but it's not=cant score. So either, no more refs, or use them. Worst rule since they tried no delayed offside for a year. 100 other ref decisions decide games, 1/2 inch offside shouldn't matter by comparison

Offside challenge sucks. I’ll die on this hill.

@fnveenie We're just not deep enough to lose all the vets from last year, plus guhle, newhook, Laine and still be good.

The Habs have two lines that are basically useless. Gotta fill out that bottom 6 sometime.

Him screaming “fuck” after striking him out in the 3rd clip will never not be funny see you in 65 years man 😭😭😭

@MarcPDumont Bet I’d pay $50 to not see gambling adds.
