A digital illustration done in a black and white graphite style with white highlight on a gray grainy paper background of a hand from the front in a fingers-crossed gesture. From the heel of the palm and down the wrist is lettering reading, ‘maybe it will happen today’. The hand is cropped beetle the lettering and surrounded with decorative rays and circles.

Don’t take the bait. Whether ICE planted drugs or there were drugs DOES NOT MATTER. It’s irrelevant to the murder. Feds want us to debate drugs in a story that’s about murder. Stay focused on the murder. It’s not about the victim’s virtue or lack thereof. It’s about ICE murdering people.

Rather than replacing capitalism, social democrats aim to tame its excesses through progressive taxation, strong labor rights, and extensive public services to ensure social and economic equality.

No, of course, there is. There is always politics around spending decisions—as well there should be. I just think funding this this way makes some kind of sense in that it might actually get it done.

Without meaning to state the obvious, if what you need to give up is ultimately going to cost you more than it affords you, then you are just plugging one hole by creating another. I don't think they can do no wrong, but I do think they've done well enough to earn the benefit of the doubt.

A digital illustration of Peter Finch portraying maniacal newscaster Howard Beale in Network (1976). He’s a disheveled older white man in a rumpled raincoat, his face is distended in an open-mouthed howl with both his hands held out in claw-like configurations in the air in front in him. There are clocks on the wall behind him and some of the numbers have been replaced with letters spelling out ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Nice to think that he has gone from a slow-roasting planet to somewhere infinitely hotter.

Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
I mean, I get it. It's nice to think that having Xhekaj will make all opponents behave, but it won't. Will he be there to pound someone for a dirty hit? Sure. But most of what Hutson saw were just hard, clean hits.
000
Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Yes, they targetted them because they are smaller and also because they are difference makers (especially Hutson), but to imagine that they wouldn't do that in the playoffs because of a bigger player on the ice is nonsense.

Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
Okay, well fair enough. St. Louis had a different take I guess and it certainly wasn't based on a lack of respect for Gallagher.
000
Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
And, hey, you might be of the opinion that Gallagher should have been in the lineup based purely on chance to win. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Personally, I am going assume that the coach has the best most informed take on the team.

Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
Look, I am a huge Gallagher fan, and I am genuinely grieved that he won't see a cup with Montreal. But would I want MSL to put him in based on "what would be nice to see" rather than his honest take on who presents the better chance to win? No.
110
Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
"The way they've handled Gallagher" involved game-time decisions based on MSL's take on the lineup most likely to win. Period. To equate that with "if you want loyalty, get a dog" is just nonsense. Anything MSL and management have said has been calling Gallagher a heart and soul guy.

Absolutely. Suzuki, Caufield, and Slavkovsky ended the season with a combined 110 goals. Habs had 11 players with 12 or more goals. Put the @$%&! puck on the net.

Horseshit... Habs put all of 12 fucking shots on net. Hutson isn't to blame for that.

Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
Okay, put it this way, it's hard to argue that a team that outshot their opponent by more than a 3:1 margin "didn't deserve to win."

Hey, I'm a diehard Habs fan, but if you think a team that puts 12 shots on net deserved to win the game, you're nuts.

Warren Layberry @warrenlayberry.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
The Habs let Dobeš down. He stood on his head and gave them a chance to win, and they put all of 12 shots on Anderson. I mean, I get it—there's another team on the ice, but 12 shots for the second game in a row. They have to do better than that. #GoHabsGo

A few times a season, a puck takes an erratic bounce off the Zamboni door stanchion at the Bell Centre, sometimes causing goalies grief. Last night, it was the difference in a one-goal playoff game. Here's a crazy idea… maybe fix or re-engineer that stanchion so that stops happening. #GoHabsGo

He'd need to play at least one game in the playoffs (which I doubt will happen). He played a lot less than the required 41 games in the regular season.

I am so sick of hearing about Tampa and "the role of villain" as though it is some sort of subtle game within the game. God, it is tiresome. Here's a thought, why not just focus on the role of fucking hockey players. #GoHabsGo

I liked Perry when he was a Hab and was even sad to see him go. Still, I would like Xhekaj to knock a couple of his teeth down his throat. #GoHabsGo

And, as pointed out in the broadcast last game, first in the league for goals versus goalies, i.e., discounting empty netters.

I get that hockey is a business, I really do, but if Gally were to end his career without a ring (especially now that the team has finally come together and can reasonably expect to contend for the foreseeable future) that'd be goddamned heartbreaking.

Habs are currently third in the Atlantic, but if the Boston-Detroit game goes to overtime, and we lose in regulation to the Islanders, we'll be on the outside of a wildcard spot looking in. Christ, but I do love me some meaningful hockey in April. #GoHabsGo
