Who could have seen this coming?

100%, unfortunately. He’s having brain cramps and making bad decisions all over the ice.

The lack of common sense with which the construction on Western Rd in London, Ontario, has been organized is the stuff of legend. Yet, somehow, it keeps getting worse. #LondonOntario #WesternUniversity #HuronUniversity

Too bad he didn’t do this before he sullied his reputation and legacy by supporting a fascist dictatorship and its war on a peaceful neighbour.

Yep. I see the logic in that.

That could also be Reinbacher. But he’s languishing in Laval because for some reason we’re worried about maximizing Xhekaj and/or Struble’s value.

Me too. But his path to an NHL roster spot is currently blocked by Evans and Danault and next year, while Danault might be gone, Hage will arrive. So it’s an uphill battle for him shall we say.

Doesn’t need to add it. He’s always done this. The guy was a wrecking ball in junior.

The Leafs keyed on him and did a pretty good job of containing him.

Yeah that was weird. And it’s too bad because he was great otherwise.

How did Gally look last night @chilepepper.bsky.social ?

They are an absolutely loathsome company. They treat their customers like garbage and offer a terrible product and service.

This comes after twice having to waste hours and hours of time to solve an issue where they were blocking me from watching Montreal games even though I live nowhere near their viewing area. Again - it was all up to me to figure out even though I pay them $367 a year.

I certainly do. The latest for me: the app on my smartTV is super glitchy. In order to be able to watch the service I pay for I bought a fire stick where the app worked more smoothly. That was until yesterday when they updated the app but didn’t do so for the operating system on my fire stick. 🤦‍♂️

He’s there until they can swing a grade for Monty later in the season.

Geoff Read 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @drgeoffread.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I hope he’s not down there for long and that they make a trade to clear the logjam.

This plus the fact the guy got hurt, is the actual reason I think, yes.

It was a draw probably but that Toure kid was throwing haymakers - I was worried Thorpe was going to get injured.

Geoff Read 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @drgeoffread.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
To give the game appeal?

I do not understand why he got a penalty on this play.

His path to the NHL was blocked when we acquired Phil Danault. He has to be a little frustrated.

Netanyahu has worked his entire career to undermine a two state solution. And at this point I think he’s probably succeeded.

Geoff Read 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @drgeoffread.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
I don’t know why we signed Dach, honestly. He’s just blocking better players from making the roster. It’s time to move on.

Geoff Read 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @drgeoffread.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
A series of moronic takes, in other words.

Dach for sure. After that it gets more complicated.

If he and Florian don’t make the team we will call for a Royal Commission.

There is a disconnect between the reality that the US is threatening its neighbors and behaving like a rogue state and the assumptions of movies and TV shows that they are a force for good in the world. That is simply no longer true, but the screenwriters seem to have missed the memo.

I was literally going to say NHL groupthink but I see @jacktodd.bsky.social beat me to it! And what’s kind of amazing is that the same thing would happen today, I have little doubt, despite the success of smaller players like Caufield and Hutson.

I can’t listen to that barely sentient mouldy fascist tangerine anymore. The sound of his voice is enough to send me into a rage.

Wasn’t this an old routine from his first presidency??? What, he’s recycling his insane rants now?

I hope Democrats are planning for a post-Trump future. Because any such plan that does not include reinvigorating public education and instilling small d democratic values in the population will just lead us right back to where we are now.

Geoff Read 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @drgeoffread.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Sure but you can’t leave 35-50% of the population behind is my point because it’s a democracy and they’ll just follow the next right-wing demagogue who comes along. You have to reinculcate them with democratic values. It will literally take decades to accomplish. But if US democracy is to survive….

Geoff Read 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @drgeoffread.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Some cannot be reached. But it is vital that those who can are or else we’ll end up right back here again with another would be tyrant imperilling US democracy and threatening global stability. The problem goes a lot deeper than Trump.

Leaving his current problems aside for the moment, I find Ed Sheeran’s music mostly insipid, made for radio drivel.

I have loved watching Alexander Ovechkin play. The power. The speed (earlier in his career). The physicality. His open joy when he scores. But his support for Putin had already ruined that. And appearing in a campaign photo like this for Putin after 4 years of murdering Ukrainians is unforgivable.

Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas Wedding Was Secretly Bankrolled By Russian Oligarch Close To Putin
The oligarch, Umar Kremlev, appears to have met Trump Jr. only recently, but he attended the intimate wedding with a large group of other Russian guests.
