I think the obvious answer to why Canadians, generally speaking, aren't getting worked up is that they can't imagine what someone else could do different to get a different result. It's possible that there is a different path, but no one is articulating it.

@coreyspowell I don't think I've ever seen that exact Calvin & Hobbes, but I've been saying "wow, Past Eamon was a jerk" for a long time. Good to hear someone else thinks the same way!

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@krimar @lindacohn @GoldenKnights Also, I think anyone making that prediction hasn't watched Carolina just buzzsaw everyone this offseason.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@krimar @MurphysLaw74 I think he's going to be pretty good, but the chances of a player becoming as good as Thomas aren't huge. That said, as a Wings fan I definitely hope the Habs don't add him.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@krimar @MurphysLaw74 Non-Habs fan: I think you're overvaluing Hage. Thomas is a 26yo point-per-game C. Only 18 Cs in the whole league did that this year and he's on a great contract for 5 years. It's really unlikely Hage becomes that - at his age Thomas was already a 0.6ppg player in the NHL.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@krimar @PatrickDenis20 @CanadiensMTL Yeah, I didn't catch it. I'm surprised since it's not like he didn't play during the season. He'd be doing them a real favour if he waives the NTC.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@krimar @PatrickDenis20 @CanadiensMTL Gallagher isn't going anywhere, is he? The contract is nuts for what he brings in terms of counting stats, but he also has a no movement clause. They'd have to pay a team to take him and he could just say no. Buyout possible, I guess.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

So... they're just going through the Brexit greatest hits stuff now?

I remember when the Leave folks were like "we'll have better looking passports if we leave" as though that's a reason to leave.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

Alberta Independence doesn’t mean losing your Canadian passport.

It means having two: Canadian & Albertan.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@orzelc I think the answer is B and then you just stay in Montreal the whole time.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

As a school kid in the 90s/early-00s, this world felt pretty familiar. I wonder how much technology makes it feel different now.

[Not Steve Jortles @Galileo908]

It has come to my attention that the events of Dazed & Confused took place fifty years ago today.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@coreyspowell @dwarkesh_sp It might be one of the most physicist-y quotes I've ever seen.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@glen_mcgregor @Pagmenzies Yeah. I figured it was a lower number, especially with the current media landscape. I just figured you could take that $196k and divide by people/trips/each way and come up with a general idea of $ per person per plane trip.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@glen_mcgregor @Pagmenzies How many people would you guess are on the plane? Google says it holds up to 250+, but not sure that's accurate for your average overseas mission.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@TonyWolak @FlyingOctoPod I know you give him his flowers later in the article, but he should still be considered a bonafide top-six guy. They were short two, not three, this year.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@TonyWolak @FlyingOctoPod "the Red Wings only had three bonafide top-six forwards" - I'm guessing you're not talking about Kane, but he had 0.85ppg, while being one of the team's best 5v5 producers. He was 20th for ppg among RWs last year. He's a far-better-than-average 2RW.

[Clinton Desveaux @ClintonDesveaux]

Only the USA could launch a trade war against Canada, and try to annex us, then play the victim.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@DRCanadiens @krimar It'd be ludicrous to pay a guy who has never had a point-per-game season that much.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@bruce_arthur @MikePMoffatt I think you could argue that the actual Leafs team was never as good as Vegas is now, and only got worse from year to year. I mean, Max Pacioretty was their fourth highest scorer in the playoffs last year.

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@guyjbreton Very helpful. Thanks!

[Eamon O'Flynn @EamonOFlynn]

@guyjbreton Can you share your sources? I can't find anything along those lines. Surprisingly hard to find this data. I'd specifically like to know how it's calculating federal expenditures by province, since this sounds like a net (not gross) problem.
