@tcher6 @rwtrask Essentially, the Flames got Kadri for that first-rd pick. Not a terrible price.

[James Baxter @Baxfacts]

@Tonyman21001 @rwtrask Lest we forget, the Habs already got a first-rd for taking Monahan, and could get another for moving him. Might be the greatest trade in Habs history, though his excellent play might have moved Habs out of the top-10.

Congratulations to the @CanadiensMTL on a hard fought victory last night, and for earning a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals!

They were powerfully led by Carey Price, who consistently shows us what First Nations can do.

@EricEngels Let Habs fans from Ontario into Quebec- open the borders already!

It turns out that's not how Scheifele reacted at all. He called his 4-game punishment "pretty excessive". That's only true if Evans comes back before him. Otherwise, he should be out as long as the player he deliberately injured, which is what the NHL determined was his aim.

[James Baxter @Baxfacts]

Not a modicum of regret or remorse from Scheifele. The bulk of his press conference was about the misery his own family is going through with hardly a mention of Jake Evans and his family. So much for being a "character guy".

[Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski]

“Pretty excessive. I wasn’t expecting that and I was pretty shocked.” -- Mark Scheifele on his 4-game suspension.

[Canadiens Montréal @CanadiensMTL]

The Canadiens are partnering with the First Nations Education Council to organize a shoe drive for local organizations that work with Indigenous communities.

[Perry Bellegarde @perrybellegarde]

Mass graves, forced sterilization, birth alerts, coerced assimilation, the destruction of our lands, and a child welfare system that thrives off of increased child apprehensions.

While lots of positive work has happened in recent years, this is the Canada we live in. #cdnpoli

Best news of the week!!

[Kerry Fraser @kfraserthecall]

Not just a body check here folks. Upward launch to create excessive velocity to head area of Evans. Needless & avoidable.

[Kerry Fraser @kfraserthecall]

For those that say just a bad ending...it started with horrible decision by Scheifele! Lengthy suspensions only way to alter the culture. Please stop blaming Victims.

[Perry Bellegarde @perrybellegarde]

This #IndigenousHistoryMonth is especially important to mark, as we honour the #215children. We must reflect on these atrocities that First Nations have faced.

But let's remain hopeful, optimistic and forward-looking. First Nations have so much to give and teach.
