That was NOT PLAY-OFF READINESS HOCKEY.Forwards not coming back-simply coasting/circling. C'mon Habs 020

Many schs. have banned cell phs. What if, 2 yrs. fr. now, the reading scores are still where they are today for the relevant cohorts? What will they then look at? 000

Maybe the consideration of a 100 billion $ bailout for crypto and the establishing of a crypto reserve has something to do with it. Remember what Charlie said about crypto-"it's rat poison".
