I'm going to trust in Therrien tonight for a change. If we win with this lineup against Tampa then clearly he's a genius who has always been doing the best with what he has.

Got Popeys for the first time in a while and I forgot how fucking addictive this stuff is
Popeyes is great for the first piece or two, but it gets real sickening real quick after that.

It's the kind of thing that I can only eat once or twice a year. However long it takes me to forget how bad it makes me feel.

Hamilton Spectator: 'Pretty Good Rich Kids': Reaching the OHL takes more than talent

What does it take to make it to the Ontario Hockey League?

Skill? Certainly. Speed? Sure. Strength? No question.

But it also takes something else — something over and above raw talent and physicality. To make it to the OHL, you also need a winning ticket in the lottery of birth.

A year-long Spectator investigation finds a highly significant number of the league's Ontario-raised players are from suburban neighbourhoods where most people are well-educated, earn high incomes and live in expensive homes.

The odds of them crossing paths with someone living in poverty are extremely low.

For anyone familiar with the extraordinary cost of playing hockey in Ontario — $15,000-or-so annually for an elite AAA player and getting higher — this won't come as a shock. If you want to be the next Sidney Crosby, says Wilfrid Laurier University's William McTeer, "the first question you have to ask is how much money do your parents have and are they prepared to invest in your future as an athlete."

A great sister article for the 24 Hours article I posted a few days ago where Gretzky said that the price to pay for hockey is a crisis.

Maybe some of this isn't exactly new information, or is common knowledge, but it puts down what many people have been complaining about for years. It also does give a bit of a glimpse into why hockey more so then other sports in Canada is so homogeneously white, and probably won't get as many second and third generation immigrant families playing the game as say, basketball or soccer.

Marty Biron pointing out the same thing everyone else is

why is Andersen playing out so far in his crease? he gave himself zero chance to stop that shot

That was a beautiful play by Marner to keep the puck in the zone

🍆🍆🍆
 
Good period for the Habs but Radulov is being wasted with Pleks, he keeps teeing up easy lay ups for him and Pleks couldn't score on a soccer net right now, just put him with AGally already.
