Just heard that The Littlest Hobo is being rebooted for the 2026-27 season.
Please don't change the song. Just use the original Maybe Tomorrow written by Terry Bush and John Crossen.

[Slopppy Joe @SlopppyJoe]

@PierreVLeBrun How is that even a thing. My observation is the refs are ruining the game. I’ve never seen such horrible officiating in the playoffs.

[Slopppy Joe @SlopppyJoe]

@ProducerDrew_ @Th3AnalystX Eff these refs. They’re all terrible. The whole playoffs have been shit. On all sides.

[Slopppy Joe @SlopppyJoe]

@SteFlanelle It was 1000%. No one knows what is or isn’t.

[Slopppy Joe @SlopppyJoe]

@StuCowan1 That was 100% interference by Stankoven. It’s very clear.

The version of Star Wars returning to theaters on February 19, 2027 is the one George Lucas spent nearly thirty years insisting could never be shown again.

This is the genuine 1977 theatrical cut, newly restored. Han shoots first. There is no CGI Jabba slithering around Mos Eisley. None of the Special Edition additions Lucas folded in starting in 1997 are present. It is the first proper theatrical run of the original film in over forty years, confirmed on the official Star Wars site.

What makes that remarkable is how hard Lucas worked to bury it. After the 1997 Special Editions, he said repeatedly that the altered versions were the only ones he recognized. He compared his right to keep changing the film to Michelangelo deciding to repaint part of the Sistine Chapel.

His stated reason it could never come back was technical. He said the original camera negative had been physically cut apart to assemble the Special Edition, which made a true restoration of the 1977 version impossible.

So for almost three decades, every official release carried Special Edition material. The one time the original cut appeared on DVD, in 2006, it was a low-resolution transfer pulled from an old laserdisc master, slipped out as a bonus disc with no restoration at all.

The best way to watch the real 1977 Star Wars became a fan project. One team tracked down an actual 35mm theatrical print through a seller in Spain and scanned it frame by frame, cleaning every speck of dirt by hand over several years, because the studio that owned the film would not.

The 2027 restoration quietly proves it was always possible with the technology that existed the whole time. What had been standing in the way was ownership. Lucas controlled the film and did not want this version seen, and that only changed when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012 for four billion dollars.

The 50th anniversary celebration everyone is sharing is, underneath the nostalgia, a studio releasing the exact version the film's creator spent his life trying to paint over, now that he is no longer the one holding the brush.

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

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.
