Love does not always announce itself. Sometimes it is in what goes unsaid, in the habits so familiar we stop noticing them. This poem is for all of that. #Poetry #Love grumpa.ca/2024/07/13/p...
Poem: Whispers of Love
In the melody of life, love weaves its threads,A symphony of emotions, in hearts it embeds.It dances in the obvious, in passionate embrace,Yet veils itself in subtlety, in a more delicate space. Fo…

Not a fan of the last two #Habs contracts.

One year of Xhekaj isn’t enough.

Term and money for Newhook is a substantial gamble. #GoHabsGo

By the way, today is the last day for #NHL teams to sign their own players to 8 years. Starting tomorrow, the maximum will be 7 years.

I just finished listening to PM @mark-carney.bsky.social speech. #Canada, you have done extremely well in the last elections and more and more Canadians, including red Toreys, are supporting the country before party. Why? Canadians recognize the positive direction the PM is taking. #CdnPoli

The new #Habs second line sat together and got acquainted. #GoHabsGo

Stephen Harper is on Team Canada
Erin O’Toole is in Team Canada
Jason Kenney is on Team Canada

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada are a special kind of stupid, unable to read Canadians... #CdnPoli

Chris Kreider will wear number 2️⃣2️⃣ with the #Habs

Jeff Gorton said something very important, IMO.

It's Chris Kreider who called the #Habs, and not the other way around.

Players see what the #GoHabsGo are doing and they want to be part of it.

That's great news indeed!

Only fools never change their mind.

Well, I guess I'm not as big of a fool as some make it sound. 😁

That's right. I'm now all-in for the #Habs to try convincing Dylan Larkin to accept a trade to Montreal. He is exactly the style of player the team needs. #GoHabsGo

This is a great news!

While there are a few things I don't like about Marty, they are vastly outmatched by the positive that he brings.

Bring the Cup home, Marty! #GoHabsGo #Habs

On the Kreider signing:

"But as fans of the Montreal Canadiens, the least we can do is accept management’s decision and rally behind the team we claim to love."

Couldn’t agree more with that statement JD

You don't have to like Chris Kreider. You don't even have to forgive him. But if you want the Canadiens to win, there's one thing you might want to reconsider. #GoHabsGo #Habs

The #Habs gave Brendan Gallagher's "A" to Josh Anderson. It's not surprising, except for the fact that he is entering the final year of his contract.

That said, an "A" is traditionally easier, in it's significance, to move around than the "C". #GoHabsGo

After thousands of mornings, the old alarm clock had one question: was it forgotten, or finally free? A reflection on time, purpose, and what really matters. #Inspiration #LifeLessons

The Day The Clock Went Silent
For more than thirty years, I was the most important thing on the nightstand. Not the lamp, not the book sitting half-read beside the bed, and certainly not the little decorative plant in the corner that everyone pretended was still alive. No, I was the one with the power. Every morning, I had a responsibility that nobody else wanted. I was the alarm clock.

People keep posting Puck Pedia but they have all 3 goalies on the #Habs roster.

In reality, according to Cap Wages, the #GoHabsGo have $5,229,757 left with Arber Xhekaj to sign.

You can pretty much add between $2.25M to $2.5M to Kreider's salary.
