Oh, tabarnak! The Habs lose tonight – On to Monday!
The video low-lights of Saturday’s game are here. I’m not posting the clip because I don’t really want to watch it again.
This is a pretty good game review on the Raw NHL website, from Sabres writer Matthew Fairburn
Canadiens fans were ready to party on Saturday night. The holiday weekend brought even more people into the city. Thousands of fans were outside the Bell Centre watching the game, and the 20,962 fans filled the arena with ear-splitting noise before puck drop. Montreal police warned fans outside the building not to bring any pyrotechnics or fireworks, concerned about the kind of scene a Game 6 win would create in the city’s streets.
But the Sabres, who came into this game 4-1 on the road in the playoffs, scored seven unanswered goals to thwart that party and keep their season alive with another road win to bring the series back home for Game 7.
“Well we’re in the process of seeing if we can play here on Monday,” Ruff quipped.
…“It’s probably the worst game we’ve played, so we’re only going up,” Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki said. “It’s going to be important for guys to look themselves in the mirror and say that we’ve got an opportunity to win one game and move on to the third round. So we’ll take that any time.”…
More comments and analysis:
In my observation, the team that wins its way into a Game 7 is invigorated, while the team that loses their way into it – because they lost game 6 – has a tougher time keeping their edge. But astronaut Jeremy Hanson would call bullshit on that, wouldn’t he!
Moving on – here are tonight’s funny-odd and funny-haha posts
Trump and his tech bro entourage are back from China and I’m seeing more posts and cartoons about how Xi was the winner of this trip, and Trump was the loser. Even the wind was on China’s side:
I’m seeing so many cartoons about how Trump’s China trip failed, and his whole presidency is collapsing. #ETTD (Everything Trump Touches Dies)
This is now known as the “Napoleon” cover from The Economist
Some other cartoons:
Trump just can’t stop with the damned tarrifs. This is from Todd Maffin:

And here too:
Unbelievably stupid – the White House for posting AI slop, and MAGA for believing it
a synthesis of AI opinions: people who choose whether to use it and choose how to use it like it a lot, and people who are compelled to use it or forced to use it for certain tasks resent the shit out of it
