Todd: Canadiens' Slafsquatch leaves giant footprints in Tampa Suddenly, the Habs have momentum and home-ice advantage in a series in which they were underdogs.

My column on the rise of the mighty Slafsquatch and the Canadiens willing their way to a win in Game 1.

Maybe it was supposed to be a "fan?" You know, the type who starts ragging on the refs before the ouck drops?

Donald Trump is a world menace. He is willing to wreck the global economy, start a war anywhere he chooses and use war to grift the markets.

He has to be stopped and since he's surrounded by cowards, the world has to find a way.

No, I don't know what that might be.

Thanks Mark

True dat. Very tired of this.

Thank you.

Catching up on my reading and Jack’s column is great as usual.

"More significantly, the Canadiens made a simple, two-word statement Sunday night: “We’ve arrived.”"

Tampa is in for a fight if they think this one’s gonna be easy like in 2021. It won’t!

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.

Perfect for them.

Hehe.

My fatal flaw.

Darn. Guess I blinked and missed it. Especially strolling through the F1 paddocks on a hot spring afternoon.

Everywhere you look, so many beautiful... cars.

LOLOLOLOL, amazing quote @jacktodd.bsky.social LOVE IT 😅💙🤍❤️ I didn't think you'd actually use it.

My column on Hall of Famer Chris Pronger @chrispronger relating to the pressure on Juraj Slafkovsy after being No. 1 overall pick at NHL Draft and liking the way the Canadiens were patient with his development, which is now paying off big-time #Habs: montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

Moi? Never noticed. There are women in Montreal?

My column Juraj Slafkovsky, dude of many names and hero of the hour.

Now I have to ask Denis whether it was supposed to be Slafsquatch (after the big-footed beast) or Slafquash (after the vegetable.)

Or all of the above.

If the Canadiens can get on a real playoff run here we could have a rare conjunction.
The Montreal Grand Prix is early this year, the weekend f May 22-24 rather than Father's Day.
If the Habs make the third round it will be racing cars and hockey stars.

Not to mention our, uh, natural beauties.

Thanks Lyle.

Thank you. One of my favourite things I've ever experienced is when Montreal gets on a playoff roll after a long brutal winter. The energy in the city is incredible.

Good. I was in the car when my editor called to which it was and I couldn't check with you so I had to make a guess.

Thanks Denis.

You guys keep me going. For real.

Thanks much, Don.
One day at a time. I think I heard that somewhere...

Thank you Scott. I can definitely confirm the aged part, at least!

Thank you.

Thanks, Mike.

Canadien-Lightning, match 1 | Juraj Slafkovský donne le ton Le début de carrière de Juraj Slafkovský n’avait rien d’une promenade en pédalo dans la baie tranquille de Tampa. Par moments, c’était plutôt une chaloupe dans la tempête.

La Presse à Tampa | Ce qui me frappe le plus chez Juraj Slafkovsky ? Plus la pression est grande, plus il est à l’aise sur la glace. C’est rare de voir ça chez un joueur d’à peine 22 ans. Ma chronique sur le match dont il a été le héros

Yep. Better than most hockey nicknames but I'm mostly looking for the plays on his team, which are pretty good.
