Free Albertan. (To any Liberal/NDP Marxist imbecile who is too ignorant to admit the purposeful destruction of our rights and country, please go die painfully).
@grantmccagg Appreciate the answer, and really enjoy reading your take and background on all the Habs players thru the season, thanks for your time and effort. Cheers!
@grantmccagg My take is that he does add an element of toughness that Struble doesn’t, and their play otherwise is not all that different. For the 1o-15 mins they play per game, that added element is an upgrade.
@MarcPDumont I agree 100%. Carrier has been poor this season in general. Asking too much of Struble as a 3rd pairing guy may be unfair, but is there more ceiling to his game if he spends time in the minors? Carrier is who he is.
Matheson playing negates these issues immensely
@MarcPDumont Struble has been atrocious the last 5-6 games and with very mid level physicality being shown, either he’s injured or he should be sent to Laval to find and work on his game.
@MitchyGallo Thanks for sharing your observations Mitch! You always seem on point and have a really good vibe for the team and the underlying currents surrounding the club. Really enjoy reading your post-game thoughts, thank you!
@MitchyGallo This team has been missing any type of edge or grit from their ‘’tougher’’ players thru this losing streak. Bad tending,way too soft and easy to play against, thin talent after all the injuries=bad losing streak. Mgmt needs to really shake this up or a big bunch of teams pass us
@MitchyGallo This is exactly the type of game you need Xhekaj /Anderson to step up as soon as the game, the cheap shots and the momentum started to slip away. Take back the energy….and nothing.
Three takeaways from tonight's 4-3 Montreal Canadiens' win over the Vancouver Canucks brought to you by Snap Bar Sportif in Rigaud.
1 . Nick Suzuki extends his point streak to nine games
Montreal’s captain is doing exactly what you want your leader to do: bringing it every night and playing with consistency. One of the biggest issues the last time Montreal had a forward wearing the “C” (no need to name names) was streakiness. That’s not the case anymore.
Suzuki delivers in all situations, takes on the toughest matchups, and produces night after night. While Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes inherited a mess when they took over from Marc Bergevin, they were also handed a gift that keeps on giving — Nick Suzuki.
2. Kirby Dach delivers his best game of the season
Montreal’s fourth line has lacked a clear identity. And while they’re still searching for one, they turned in a solid performance with Kirby Dach at the center of it. When Dach is engaged, you see exactly what the Canadiens believe he can become.
Tonight, he showed off his ability to make plays in tight areas, use his reach to win loose pucks, and lean on opponents physically when needed. Montreal seems to have something working on each of their other three lines — if Dach can turn the fourth line into a real factor, watch out.
3. Arber Xhekaj needs to stay out of the box
Arber Xhekaj isn’t playing much — often under 10 minutes a game — and when he does, he’s been a bit of a liability. Martin St. Louis has a hard time trusting him, not because of his defensive play, but because of his discipline. It feels like Xhekaj takes at least one minor penalty every game.
Both penalties against the Vancouver Canucks were avoidable, and he was fortunate not to be called for a third after a hold. With Kaiden Guhle sidelined, there’s an opportunity for Xhekaj to prove he belongs. But St. Louis is coaching to win this season — and if the penalties keep piling up, it’ll be tough to justify keeping Xhekaj in the lineup simply for his physicality.
*Remember every RT and all engagement helps!!*

It’s hard to explain to Canadians just how badly destroyed our economy, currency, productivity and growth has been under a decade of Liberal party rule.
This graph by Kirk illustrates what the Carney-advised climate-obsessed money-printing government did to this nation. High debt, high taxes, high spending by an obese govt bureacracy and low real productivity.
They cancelled projects, refused to build infrastructure and made us systematically more dependent on the USA.
We lost one of the world’s greatest opportunity societies in the process.
It’s time to take Canada back.
To our American friends and others around the world that are interested.
Canada's landscape:
Unelected Prime Minister.
Unelected Governor General.
Unelected Senate.
Unelected Judiciary.
Unelected RCMP Commissioner.
Opposition is controlled.
Mainstream media is controlled.
@PierrePoilievre@Anthony__Koch Alberta USA is good with me
Yes, I’m a traitor to the country that steals Alberta‘s wealth and then denigrates us any chance it gets.
Quebec doesn’t want a pipeline and you don’t want to stop equalization
All about the votes.
Western independence or 51 gets my vote.
They were warned the fires would come.
They failed to act.
They’re now distracted by partisan politics and the pursuit of power.
They don’t return calls.
There’s no Minister responsible.
There’s no plan.
It’s criminal negligence.
This is our land. And it holds a majestic promise.
A land where after the fires have gone, a people now rebuild their homes, their businesses, their lives.
And a promise, that in facing fierce fires or the failures of federal Liberals, endures.
Common Sense Conservatives won’t forget Jasper. We will restore the promise of Canada.
@_JordanDecker You gotta be one double dumb mother fucker to make such a stupid statement. I have family there and lots of people that were affected say so much of the fires would’ve been contained and limited if they just had water. Instead firefighters just watched houses burn..
@westernstandard Works out for Nutley, with all her free time, since being fired with prejudice from her last job. She’ll be just as incompetent, pathetic and anti-Albertan in this job too.
Her and Justy should drive their joint clown car down to FLA and show DJT how 2 real women roll…
