Look, the only correct take about watching Paul McCartney at 83 in 2026, on SNL no less, is that it’s a privilege to still witness him do this Has anyone shaped music quite like him? nitter.gq/canalmusicfeed/status/…

This is outstanding. Do yourself a favour and give Tyler a follow. He has forgotten more about puck than most of us will ever know.

Le premier ministre avait le but ouvert, mais c’est le chef de l’opposition qui a compté. 1-0 Milliard.

Invitation reçue, invitation acceptée. Je prends part ce soir à Montréal au souper du Sommet entre le Canada et l’Union européenne. Malgré la chaise vide du premier ministre, je représenterai le Québec dans le cadre de mes nombreuses discussions avec les invités présents, notamment les représentants de l’Union européenne et du gouvernement fédéral. Notre position demeure la même, soit une vision nationaliste, fédéraliste et ouverte sur le monde, dans la continuité de la doctrine Gérin-Lajoie. C’est le type de leadership que nous exerçons au PLQ : bâtir des relations avec nos partenaires économiques, d’ici et d’ailleurs, pour faire avancer le Québec. #PLQ #PolQc

Who’s ready for multiple months of Habs fans explaining why Kucherov would obviously want to go to Montreal and why Tampa should be perfectly happy with whatever Montreal is willing to offer?

Nous avons tellement d’urgences à régler au Québec et d’espoir à donner à nos concitoyens, Monsieur le premier ministre, SVP allons à l’essentiel, et cessez de jouer à la Marquise offusquée. Vous avec été élu avec un appui très fragile. Nous espérions que vous alliez comprendre.

I like Richard but I think this is off. Bradford went from ~1% of the vote in 2023 to ~40% now. He gave the Chow campaign (which is a formidable machine) a real challenge, as evidenced by its hard turn negative in the 11th hour. I don't think there will be much, if any, regret

I think there are a lot of people on Toronto’s very powerful political centre/right who are going to wake up tomorrow wondering why they went all in on that guy of all the guys.

Un choix «assumé et réfléchi»… au service de quoi, au juste? L’intérêt des Québécois ou la mise en scène d’un conflit avec Ottawa? Nous nous attendons à mieux que vos vieilles tactiques de confrontation, qui ne servent qu’à alimenter votre récit souverainiste. Ça commence mal

Le choix du Québec de ne pas être à la rencontre d'Ottawa aujourd'hui est un choix assumé et réfléchi. Notre position est simple : le gouvernement du Québec rencontre les nations autochtones directement, de nation à nation, sur notre territoire. (1)

Valiant effort, but the Brady return game chants clear this, I’m afraid.

Full list of chants at Rogers Arena tonight: - He’s not signing - Where's your contract? - We want the Cup - Fuck you ass-hole - Quinn Hughes Sucks - Quitter! - Tank for DuPont - Makar is better Take a bow Canucks nation.

That’s three consecutive games with a >90% xG share for the Zetterlund-Stützle-Giroux line.

Per MoneyPuck, the Sens have allowed just 9 high-danger shots against (2nd-fewest in the NHL) thru 10 games. They continue to be one of the league’s elite chance-suppressing teams, and they’ve done it without a healthy D corps

This is a great sign for the Sens. With a high rate like that, they should be one of the better possession teams in the league again this season.

Panthers vs Senators - two of the best at winning battles. Emotion + heavy hockey - going to be a good one in Ottawa tonight. @SportsOnPrimeCA

This dude was off to a promising start this season, but he’s done so much to discredit himself in the last 24 hours that I might have to revisit my initial assessment

I think it’s odd behavior to spend money to attend a hockey game to yell at a 27 year old kid who made a decision he felt was in the best interest of himself and his family. I assume nobody in that Sens crowd ever changes their job? Brady could’ve left as a FA. He did you a favor

5v5 underlyings are improving, too. Since the 7-2 loss to STL, Sens have a 60% xG share, bringing their season mark back to 50%. There’s regression coming in goal, but we should expect more strong 5v5 play like last night moving forward.

The Panthers are a good team. The Sens put them through the woodchipper last night.

Didn’t quite clock how much last night could move the needle for the Sens on the PR side. National positive coverage, respect gained around the league, fans getting their flowers… the whole thing landed way harder than expected. Org and fans earned that one.
