God god Joyce. Shame on you. Demeaning the work of thousands of hardworking writers who fill a need, just as you do. So they weren't born with the talent of Virginia Woolf. Neither were you.

Bryce Harper, one of the purest assholes in sports, makes a complete hash of a flyball to right and the Braves score the leading run. Nice, Bryce.

Columbus head coach Rick Bowness blasted the Blue Jackets players last spring after the team missed the playoffs, said if he came back he was going to change the culture. Bowness is back, Marchenko is out, Knies is in. Contract issue? Culture change? Just guessing, but I imagine Bones is smiling.

A very high percentage of NHL players you wouldn't want anywhere near team your are American. Auston Matthews Brady Tkachuk Matthew Tkachuk Connor Hellebuyck Jack Eichel Dylan Larkin Matter of fact, the Habs may have the only likeable Yanks in the league in Hutson and Caufield.

Todd: With grit and great expectations, Canadiens are knocking on Lord Stanley's door
With Panthers and Leafs likely back in the mix, I’m picking Habs to finish second in Atlantic, third in East.

Very good breakdown on a move that seemed odd until you scrutinize it aa Nick had done. It's like Kreider's crash into Price - sometimes, our impressions don't stand up to scrutiny.

People suddenly remembered that CAQ has given us the worst provincial government since 1970? (And I only go with that date because I arrived here in 1970, so I speak from experience.) Not Frechette's fault but CAQ ministers have been bullies and bunglers.

Matthew Knies is a 6-3, 235-pound Brendan Gallagher. On a team chockablock with the overpaid and overrated, Knies always stood out for working like a demon while the rest were counting their sponsors, but the Leafs would rather pay Kirill Marchenko $12.5 miilion per. Fantasy hockey in a real league.

If anyone doesn't understand by now why Kent Hughes didn't land Kirill Marchenko, look at the contract. That's a team-breaker - AND the Leafs gave up a player who is more valuable than Marchenko to get him. Knies was the only player on that roster worth pursuing.

We all need this: a review of the NHL's rule changes on and off the ice. Of course they don't clean up the worst of it: goalie interference, offside reviews, puck over the glass, hits to the head...

When I see a woman in a hijab I tense up. Not because I am offended by her clothing but because I'm worried some racist fool is going to give her a hard time about HER choice in apparel.

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

A baby's bottom is more reliable than Pierre McGuire. All the same, I don't see the Canadiens landing Marchenko. The price is getting ridiculous for a team with a strong roster right now.

The Blue Jays had Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for six years before they signed him to a 14-year, $500 million contract. They had every opportunity to get to know their man and not only did they get a guy who stopped producing, he doesn't care. It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

I liked George Gillett Jr. My dad would say he's the kind of guy who would shake your hand while he picked your pocket and it was true, but he would entertain you while he was at it. His most enduring legacy is the Habs state-of-the-art game production courtesy of his son, Foster. RIP, you old fox.

There were many things wrong with Emperor Legault's wretched CAQ government but the worst of it stemmed from the man's infinite arrogance. Now we're about to elect Plamondon, a man more arrogant than Legault.
