A Russian kid fell to us in the draft, put up 60+ pts as a rookie at 20 yrs old. Came in his sophomore year “out of shape” & extremely misused in both 5v5 & the power play, yet he still reached 20G & 50+ pts. It’s the coach’s job to fit this player in his team, period.
Matvei Michkov might not win the Calder, but it’s clear he’s the best rookie in the league.
The highest potential, the best goal scorer, the best primary point producer. For being held back almost all year, he’s exceeded expectations and will go down as an all time great.
It is obvious.
The New Pep Sec. is in way over her head.
She has no idea what a tariff is.
She has no idea who pays them.
She has no idea what to say if Trump hasn't prompted her.
The Press briefings are thus reduced to sporadic displays of childlike affection for a lunatic.
Saw this on Linked In…powerful….
We will never forget.
"Dear 77,301,997 Americans who voted for Trump,
Being Canadian has never been about shouting the loudest. We don’t pound our chests or demand attention. We are sometimes like the quiet kid on the playground, just wanting to get along with others. We hold doors, say sorry even when it’s not our fault, and shovel our neighbour’s driveway just because it’s the right thing to do. We believe in fairness, decency, and looking out for one another.
We are the world’s greatest neighbour… and yes, our spelling is the correct one. We show up. In the words of our Prime Minister on Saturday night, “from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the Korean Peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. During the summer of 2005, when Hurricane Katrina ravaged your great city of New Orleans, or mere weeks ago, when we sent water bombers to tackle the wildfires in California, and during the day the world stood still — Sept. 11, 2001 — when we provided refuge to stranded passengers and planes, we were always there, standing with you”.
And yet, here we are – watching your president, a man who built his legacy on bullying, turn his sights on us. He mocks us, belittles us, and treats us like some inconvenience rather than the ally who has stood by you through thick and thin.
It’s easy to mistake our politeness for passivity, or our kindness for weakness. But here’s the thing about the quiet kid on the playground: push that kid far enough, and that kid pushes back.
Canada has never needed to boast about its strength. We just prove it. On battlefields. In boardrooms. On the ice. So, if you think you can push us around and take us for granted – think again. You think we will become your “cherished 51st state” – think again. Underestimate us… that will be fun. Because the quiet kid? The quiet kid remembers. And when the quiet kid finally stands up, the whole playground takes notice.
Now we are pissed.
Sincerely,
Canada"
Welcome home, Ronda! 🏡💜
In partnership with @michaels_way and St Christopher’s Hospital for Children, @FlyersCharities welcomed the Burns Family to their newly renovated home on Wednesday.
Quinn Hughes is at Canucks practice.
Will see how this turns out, but Hughes will not join USA unless there’s a realistic chance he can play.
Canucks’ first game is Saturday in Vegas — doesn’t make sense for him to go Vancouver-Boston-Vegas if he can’t play Thursday.
Alex Nedeljkovic becomes the first goalie to score in the:
- ECHL: Dec. 30, 2016
- AHL: Mar. 10, 2018 & Nov. 17, 2023
- NHL: Jan. 17, 2025
A natural goalscorer 😎

Never been a huge fan of Torts, maybe because I obviously don’t know the man, only what I see in the media. However, this is a real classy move here. Pretty cool to also see Newfoundlander and NHL coach Darryl Williams in this clip. @hockeynl1935
Congratulations coach Danny! First recipient of the Bill Rumsey Memorial Award! Many @ne_eagles are grateful for your coaching and friendships over the years! 👏
