It definitely hurts to see something like this. Hockey can be a ruthless business, and in a perfect world, he’d have played his entire career with the Habs.
UUK really doesn’t get enough flak for being one of the most destructive and craven organisations in the country. Must take a huge slice of the blame for the current crisis.
Canadiens playing hockey, Carolina something else entirely - even more cynical with the targeting than Buffalo. NHL has declined to protect star players all playoffs. Screw it, Xhekaj and Gallager in on fourth line and make sure some Canes feel it. #gohabsgo

A subset of researchers essentially hold the view that they deserve credit for work that appears in the world with their name on it, but cannot be held accountable for failures in that same work. That is untenable. You are responsible for what you place in the knowledge commons.

During his Victory Day speech, Putin once again linked World War II to the war against Ukraine
He claimed that participants in the “special military operation” are continuing the mission of the generation that defeated Nazism and are now “facing a force backed by the entire NATO bloc.”
At the same time, a large part of the speech focused on the memory of the Soviet people and the victims of World War II, with Putin calling May 9 “Russia’s most important holiday.”
