GAWD! I'd love Nylander on the Canadiens, Jack!

6"4" 221 Lbs. He plays a lot smaller, when you notice him at all.

Trump is planning to host a third gala for the top investors of his $TRUMP crypto coin. He and his family have raked in $2.2 billion from their crypto ventures, while their investors have lost almost the same amount. They’ll fleece anyone they can — even their own supporters.

I am sorry I have to make such a sad appeal to you all. Please, if you enjoy the work, repost it. Each year it’s a mystery whether the COTW continues. Only through page views does it avoid the axe. Thank you.

83 to go. The Canadiens open their season with a mature effort. It wasn’t spectacular but it was an intelligent road game. The win in Toronto in the season opener of the Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal globalnews.ca/news/1207663...

Call of the Wilde: Montreal Canadiens start the season with a tight victory over the Maple Leafs in Toronto - Montreal | Globalnews.ca

The Montreal Canadiens drew the Maple Leafs in Toronto and it was a match-up that Montreal has struggled with, but not this time. The Canadiens posted a tight 3-2 win.

1-1. Bib Josh! Dach kept tht play alive.

Unfortunately it features the very worst referee in the CFL. And that's saying something, Jack. Valessi is whistle happy know it all.

Bon courage, Brendan, wherever you land. The Canadiens and their legion of fans owe you a great debt of gratitude. You are a professional's professional. Merci.

I really, really, really want the Canadiens to win tonight. Part of me is a nervous wreck, part of me thrilled to be SO INVOLVED in this wacky wonderful hockey ride. GOHABSGOHABSGOHABSGO!

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Thanks, Brian. As always, smart, concise and insightful. How do St. Louis and the Canadiens adjust, "not defend so much" and win?

You got your point across well, I thought. Good job.

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Nice job, Jack. We old guys prove our added value every day. I'm a loyal fan of Anderson. He's the big brother/guy next door you want around when the bullies are out hunting; and his offensive prowess is shining through as well.

The Canadiens finding solutions (and ice) to Carolina's hideous trap crap. 2-2 after. 2. GOHABSGO!

4-1 Canadiens! I can't keep up. Are these kids tired? I think battle-hardened is more aprt description tonight.

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

2-1 Habs! I think we can all agree these young men are unflappable

Well, that was out of the gate FAST!

I'm on the horns of the same dilemma, Jack. When does the home crowd in the best rink in hockey overwhelm everybody? I get pissed off when "Ole...." starts up, and way too early. Folks, nothing's been decided yet. Can it, willya?!?

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

As usual, good analysis, Brian. Your insights and perspective are always welcome. I learn something more about the game after reading your comments and columns. Thanks.

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

That was brutal last night. The speed of our game deepens the sense of loss. I heard somewhere If you look at the horizon it'll calm your nerves and lift your spirits at the same time. It works. Remember, these young lads are road warriors. Let's win in Buffalo tomorrow night.

Martin St. Louis gave Jakub Dobeš a vote of confidence when it meant something, and the young goalie recovered his game amazingly. Solid coaching by MSL and Marco Marciano. Game 6 will be the first Saturday night home game in these playoffs for the Canadiens. Mr. Saturday night? Cole Caufield!

Good column, as usual, Jack. Always accurate and insightful, and, as important, fun to read.

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Excellent column, Brian. You lose me a bit with the analytics argot sometimes, but I eventually catch up. Game 6 is the first Saturday night at home for the Habs in these playoffs. Cole (Mr. Saturday Night!) Caufield. It's going to be something to watch if I have the courage to look.

Refereeing as good as ever in game 3.

Habs are lucky to be tied at 1 after 2. This has been a terrible period for Montreal. 4 shots! 4 Shots!

Only drink when the Habs score Brendan. If you're lucky you can get really pissed.

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Thanks. I'm still hopeful about game three, indeed about this series. This is an awfully young group of very talented players. First time under fire for a lot of them.

Dave Bronstetter @duffr212d.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Excellent analysis, Brian. What about putting Veleno in the lineup? Dave Bronstetter

The fireflies are out in force these days in Montréal. Yes, many of them have "Eat at Joe's" across their cute little bums, but there's always one smart ass.
