Knock on wood, but the lack of discussion the Panda Game had until actual kickoff suggests to me the era of the city having mass panic of disorderly conduct is over.

They stole a point. That's as good an OTL as it gets.

Cole Caufield has two goals right now. Be a realllllllllllll shame if he was to score a third in overtime.

Garry Galley sounds so depressed.

Jordan had been touring this past summer.

This is shocking. Sass Jordan has died, per her Facebook page.

Yeah, after that sudden burst in the final minute that might be it for the "Kreider on the first line, Slaf on the second" experiment.

This is the most like Hasek that Dobes has ever looked and by that I mean Dobes is flopping all over the place.

So the referees are just straight up terrible. As long as they're terrible in an equitable way, I guess.

Bold prediction: Won't be the last Hutson-to-Suzuki-to-Caufield goal we see this season.

Goal Caufield scores on a Saturday night? Weird.

My order of the deluxe edition of Rubber Soul has not arrived at my favourite record shop yet, which means I am unable to listen to an album I have six other versions of today.

Oxygen may now reach his brain.

Welcome back, Brian. Win or lose, always a great read.

Montreal has at least four players on their bottom six who are 15-20 goal threats. That won them the game tonight and will win a few more.

Goals by Anderson, Bolduc, and Carrier. Just like the Habs drew it up.

Sign of improvement: Montreal has doubled the amount of shots it allows before the first goal against.

Everyone on camera at Scotiabank Arena is staring into their phones instead of cheering.

Alfie gets a mix of cheers and boos when introduced to the Toronto crowd.

Montreal's third and fourth lines are now made of Therrien-era Top 6 talent.

Not sweating tonight's game too much. How did Montreal's season begin last year? With a loss in Toronto. The result was rendered meaningless.

One of my thoughts leading into tomorrow: It's in extremely bad taste for any federal employee to book recreational time off Mon/Tue and/or Thu/Fri this week. I've noticed lighter traffic on my commute in Ottawa the last two days.

SENATOR: I have these text messages that put you in Saskatchewan watching the Roughriders. The very city that you claim to have never been in. You are under arrest for perjury. You are dead meat. WITNESS: (ruffling papers) actually I was seeing the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Dear David Alter: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TRY THE GOLDEN PALACE EGG ROLLS IN OTTAWA

Toronto gives off "Just adding anyone" energy. Strong "Glen Sather with the New York Rangers" vibes.

If I'm Matthew Knies and this trade falls through I'm demanding one anyway. For observers, I think it's the funniest scenario. Losing him for lower value because your org can't keep its mouth shut. That would be a very Toronto thing to happen.

This will be the first year I don't go to the Ottawa Charge home opener. I may never see them live again until they have an independent owner. I do not want to send a message that I'm OK with the league ripping at the fabric of all its teams every offseason.

Tip of the hat to the competing broadcaster.
