Something large is submerged beneath the surface in the middle of the Rideau Canal by the bridge crossing at the University of Ottawa. Might want to clean it up asap to avoid any damage to boats and their propellers @ottawacity@RideauCanalNHS@NCC_Skateway@Ottboatcruise

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.
John Tortorella was out of work on March 28, not sure if he’d ever get another shot behind an #NHL bench.
Less than two months later, he’s coaching in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2004.
#ForgedInGold are 19-4-1 under Tortorella.
Incredible.

#NEWS: The Montreal Canadiens OT winning goal celebrations last night caused a mini earthquake in Montreal. Experts from a local university say their sensors registered seismic activity measuring approximately 0.5 on the Richter scale.
Matthew Schaefer broke down into tears live on Good Morning America when he was surprised with winning the Calder Trophy…
What an incredible moment 🥹🫶
