Rod sneakily built in a 35 pound cinderblock lift into the Canes offseason workouts, called it “Blue Collar Presses”, and the boys never thought anything of it…
Turns out he was having them practice lifting the Cup all season long 🤯🔥

I'm beyond crushed (anyone listening today could tell) to talk about a Toronto Police officer killed in the line of duty, serving a high stakes warrant early this morning, in relation to the US Consulate shooting that rattled all of us, months ago.
Our police are our neighbours, friends, and protectors. Their kids play with our kids. Their spouses have the same stress in raising a family, keeping friendships & marriages on track and thriving, & whether their bank account is where it needs to be - only they risk & give up SO much more than the rest of us ordinary citizens.
You're human if you're of two minds:
1. Grief - the sadness. Second cop in Ontario this week to be killed in the line of duty, second cop who will never put on the uniform again, or make another family feel seen & heard after something awful, or even something frightening. We ask them to put their lives on the line & go into terrible neighbourhoods & dark apartment corridors in the middle of the night so we don't have to. And they get murdered for doing their jobs.
2. Anger - the seething anger that we watch other countries not as plagued by violence, not as traumatized by career criminals, and in this case (investigating the US Consulate shooting), trying to catch & charge someone in relation to a terrorist activity - one of many that is now commonplace in Toronto.
We have politicians in our midst who coddle the lawless, who make excuses for criminal activity & behaviour, & when we elect those people - horrific outcomes like this officer's murder are an inevitable consequence.
I've named the names before, & this isn't the day for that. It's a day to be sad & angry & hope we will wake up as a society - as if need more to alert us given we have been sleepwalking into a much more treacherous place to live for over a decade now.
I only wish this young, brave officer was headed home tonight and the rest of his full life ahead. So sad & awful.
TWICE AS NICE 🏆🏆 #NHLAwards
Nick Suzuki surprised Cole Caufield with the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy before Caufield surprised Suzuki with the Frank J. Selke Trophy. 😂
The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy is awarded for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct and the Frank J.Selke Trophy is awarded to the top defensive forward.
Carey Price has retired. Brendan Gallagher has now confirmed he played his final game as a Montreal Canadien. 😢
Two defining faces of a generation are gone.
The end of an era in Montreal.

They said we were years away.
This season wasn't about proving anything to them.
The future isn't built on outside opinions.
It's built on character, work, and the refusal to quit.
Proud of this group. Proud to be a Canadiens fan.
See you next season. #GoHabsGo 🇹🇭🏒🥅🚨
