Let’s never forget that Mike Babcock healthy scratched Mike Modano so that he didn’t reach 1,500 NHL games played, finishing at 1,499. No need for him back in the league

‼️Canada's former top soldier SOUNDS THE ALARM on Carney's strategy:
"We need to very WARY about pivoting to China at the expense of the US. Geography matters"
Says that China is AIDING Russia in Ukraine, while we FUND Ukraine!
Finally some COMMON SENSE!
@shieko16@Bozzyy_@FriedgeHNIC Except he hits the puck not the glove, if he hit the glove the puck wouldn't end up in the net because the glove was never, not once on top of puck. So hitting the glove would not move the puck.
@RearAdBsBlog I mean yes and no, no Interference on freddy barbs stick hits the puck which goes thru freddy. Puck never actually covered by freddy so dont see why it shouldn't count. Freddy doesn't have it covered so barbashev is allowed to attack the puck and he hits the puck not freddy

For the record.
In Canada, It Matters How the Economy Dies.
The Canadian economy is dead. It just didn’t die with a crash big enough to satisfy the models. No Lehman moment, no Covid‑style cliff, just two negative quarters of GDP, years of falling output per person, negative productivity, and a private sector slowly strangled by rates and regulation while the establishment insists the patient is “resting.”
On the facts, this isn’t ambiguous. Real GDP has contracted for two consecutive quarters on an annualized basis. Labour productivity has been flat or negative since 2021. Real GDP per capita is below its pre‑pandemic level. Ontario has logged its worst non‑pandemic quarterly job losses since the mid‑1970s. The only consistent growth is in government payrolls and compliance, not in private enterprise and investment. If that isn’t recessionary, the word is meaningless.
And yes Macklem threatens rate hikes through all of this insanity.
Yet Canada’s official guardians insist nothing fundamental has broken. The C.D. Howe recession‑dating committee says the downturn is not “pronounced, persistent, and pervasive” enough. The central bank warns against overreacting to “technical” weakness. Bay Street talks about “soft landings” and “resilience.” In some quarters, the answer to this slow‑motion collapse is not relief, but further rate hikes. Ignore the body on the table, we are told, the vital signs aren’t quite bad enough yet to fill out the certificate.
Their rulebook was built for heart attacks, not cancers. It excels at spotting sudden collapses in aggregate GDP and jobs. It barely registers slow organ failure: a few tenths off real GDP per capita each year, productivity edging down, ugly quarters for private‑sector employment and capex offset by public hiring. None of that triggers the old alarms until the damage is permanent.
Meanwhile, Canada has been busy throwing away the advantages that once justified its prosperity. Energy and resource projects are stalled or strangled. Business investment per worker trails peers. A country rich in capital, talent, and geography behaves as if it can live forever off inherited endowments while making it harder to build anything new. That is not “resilience.” It is delusion.
Canada’s economic establishment needs to wake up.
Two negative quarters of GDP, negative productivity, falling GDP per person, historic job losses in the core province, a suffocated private sector and calls for more tightening on top, are not signs of an economy “cooling toward trend.” They are signs of an economy that has already crossed the line from stagnation into decay.
The Canadian economy is dead in the way that matters: as an engine of rising living standards and a place where private capital is rewarded for building the future. It just didn’t die loudly enough for the old definitions. The real question now is not what we call it, but how long our institutions will keep pretending the corpse is “resilient.”
@sarobertson_ so full of shit, he did nothing for actual climate change, he ignored banff's cries for controlled burns and forest clean ups until it went up in flames, all he's ever done is pad his own pockets
