Unequivocally good news on the Canadian employment front this morning. Employment rose by a huge 88,000 positions in May, the unemployment rate fell 0.3 percentage points to 6.6% and private sector jobs rose by 56,300 positions, also a very substantial gain.
Marjane Satrapi, the renowned French-Iranian graphic novelist (author of Persepolis), film director, and fearless voice for feminism, human rights and freedom, has passed away at the age of 56. 💔
@MaximeTruman quels changements a apporté Brind’amour? Changé ses trios? non. Inséré de nouveaux joueurs? non. Nouveau style de jeu? absolument pas. Les Canes manquait de synchronisme et ont été surpris dans le 1er match. On subit le même traitement que les Sens et Flyers.
The Canadiens' organization is shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Claude Lemieux at the age of 60. Our hearts go out to Claude's family and friends during this difficult time.

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.
Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.
Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.
The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.
In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.
Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.
Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.
He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Memorial service details to follow.
@BrewStoughty@JhanHky@erikwillander the number of weak "chip" passes that get cut-off or intercepted in our d-zone is what is killing me. Just when it looks like we've secured possession to exit the zone, things get reversed and we're quickly on our heels. Slaf being the worse offender in my view.
