Montreal has moved up to #5 in the NHL Power Rankings. This is the highest power ranking this team has had since these power rankings came into existence, to my recollection: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/46782237/nhl-power-rankings-2025-26-best-teams-standings-best-stats-halloween

Look at this (1:33 of the video is replay), Tanev of the Leafs collides with Michkov and has to be stretchered off to a hospital: To me it does not look like there should have been a penalty on Michkov. What it looked like is Tanev negliglently skated backwards into Michkov who was watching...

One other thing we can say about Suzuki: DURABLE. 82 games played in each of the last 4 seasons!!!!!!!! Contrast that with Laine. They say that availability is a talent. This is especially true in the sport of hockey. Give me a player who is there for his team every single game. Guys who are...

No doubt that Suzuki is a very underrated player. I am not sure why that is. If you look at his stats, they have improved every single season he has been in the league. This continual upward trajectory is very rare, but it's a sign that he absorbs his coaching and experience well...

I agree, but it still sucks, especially since I proposed to the agency a viable solution to the problem, which they rejected. It would have been better than cellphone translation and all parties would be paid for the inconvenience. Plus I was prepared to book a half hour longer for the necessary...

I am pretty sure he would have gone along with this as he is a jokester with a sense of humor, and in the distant past he did function well as an unofficial French/English interpreter in social settings. Plus he would have been allowed to meet the SP in exchange for providing these interpreter...

Your post reminds me that in the past I came across some agency SPs who were openly advertised as seeing French speaking clients ONLY. As a unilingual Anglophone white American, I was curious about this exclusion, although not terribly offended by it. The agency told me that the SP in question...

You are assuming that being an abusive lowballer is the main reason for some SPs excluding clients by their ethnicity. I don't think that's really the case. There are probably myriad reasons that are based on generalities or suppositions that do not apply to every individual. For example, the SP...

I think Newhook should be Mayor of Montreal. He is coming off a disappointing 26 point season and is eager to show it's not who he is. So far, he is a much better .75 point per game player. Regarding Demidov: can we just fast forward to the Calder/Rookie of the Year award and give it to him...

I don't understand the legal context either. Hypothetical situation #1: an escort shows up at a client's hotel room. Upon the client opening the door, the escort observes that he is an Indian client, a group she doesn't service. She informs the client, bluntly, "sorry, but I do not service...

You need to watch the sci fi movie The 6th Day in which the Michael Rapaport character does fuck holograms....

My questions were directed at the thread starter whose post I quoted. He needs to answer them. I don't think he wants to answer them.

Not a very good response. Hilary Clinton was a MUCH better candidate than Harris and was much, much more qualified. That's why she won the popular vote against Trump. You clearly do not have a Ph.D in American presidential politics. The only reason she lost is she became too beholden to special...

Laine seems to be having a terrible time with injuries: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/46720816/canadiens-patrik-laine-3-4-months-following-core-surgery

Are you even aware that Hilary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016? This statement is beyond ignorant.
