Trudeau on absence from Canada World Cup Match: "Boyfriend Duties Call" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly9eljexnno

Canada v. Bosnia-Herzegovina match is 3 pm this afternoon

On the subject of desserts, one ice cream parlor I visited in Bar Harbor was heavily promoting Lobster Ice Cream. Many kids were eating it. It's buttered ice cream with Lobster Chunks. I could not wrap my head around it. I chose instead "Salted Brownie Bliss", which was wonderful- Salted Vanilla...

More pics from Maine. This is an authentic Indian Pudding I got in Bar Harbor. This is a regional dessert in New England dating back to Colonial times. It's made with milk, cornmeal, molasses, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Served warm and with Vanilla Ice Cream scooped on top. I really...

Isn't that what I said?

Maine Blue Cheese Salad with grilled Arctic Char. The Char was perfectly grilled and soft as butter:

A big favorite of mine is Seared Ahi Tuna Tacos. These were very good- even better than they look. They are draped with pickled onions and a wasabi aioli which had a very high wasabi to mayo ratio, as it should be!

Smoked Fish Chowder is fairly popular in Maine. This one is made with Smoked Halibut. Again, it's lightly dairyed as compared to typical New England style Clam Chowder or Lobster Bisque. A few splashes of cream:

What trip to Maine is complete without a Maine style lobster roll- lightly mayoed and served cold or room temperature, although they also offer the Connecticut style, hot and buttered at most seafood restaurants:

Pics from recent trip to Maine. All seafood is boat to table fresh. Local Maine oysters served with pearl onion mignonette and strawberry mignonette: Lobster Chowder- different than Lobster Bisque. Lobster Chowder has a lower dairy content, no potatoes, lots of lobster meat, and scallions:

This ESPN preview has Canada making the quarterfinals of this event. Are any of you guys aware of this possibly very dangerous Canadian team? Does anyone care? https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/48962628/world-cup-predictions-picking-winner-every-game-entire-tournament

Losing a 4 goal lead and then winning on an own goal is not exactly a great look for Vegas, but I feel like if luck is ever going to favor any team, it will be the one for Vegas. This is in the cards.

Last night Carolina had 2 own goals - the winning goal in OT: https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/48988942 The other own goal was by Walker who tipped in a pass from Marner and it became the first goal of a rapid fire hat trick. It was unbelievable: https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/48988195...

Suzuki wins Selke in landslide; Lady Byng goes to the gentlemanly Caulfield: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/48976001/canadiens-honors-suzuki-wins-selke-lady-byng-caufield

Lemieux family donated his brain to CTE research, so they may suspect it: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/48924757/claude-lemieux-brain-being-donated-cte-research-family-says

Sadly, Claude Lemieux committed suicide. https://nypost.com/2026/05/28/sports/longtime-nhl-star-claude-lemieuxs-cause-of-death-at-age-60-revealed/

RIP Claude Lemieux, age 60 https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/48901936/4-stanley-cup-champion-claude-lemieux-dies-60 I remember him most for his heroics with the NJ Devils in 1995, playing for Jacques Lemaire. I will never forget that team or their upset of the Detroit Red Wings that year...

Hockey is a business, analagous to a sports corporation, and the teams are franchises. Just like some McDonald's franchises do better than others, and sell more burgers and shakes, so too does this economic competition take place in hockey. The Canadian franchises just have not done as well...

Outshot 42-18 at home, after being outshot 38-13 the prior game, and being down 3-1, is not what you want.

When you see shots are 26-12 and 38-13 in 2 straight games, there is a problem. Montreal's strength as a team is speed, but the opposite of speed is strength. In almost every sport there are tradeoffs between speed and strength and the trick is to find the ideal combination of both.
