Hey @Rogers please unplug your modem, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in. If that doesn't work I can have a technician there next Tuesday between 4am and 11pm. #rogersoutage #rogersdown #Rogersinternet

@haidavii @NHL If it was any other team, a pregame show like would be panned by all. But in Vegas, you expect pomp and storytelling like that...I'd love to be one of the drummers!

The @NHL #stanleycup finals are like watching soccer - it seems like every shot on net goes in, I get excited when a goalie makes a save

Wow...just wow. So sad. Met him years back when Matt was 15, Claude was working as a scout / agent and he really liked Matt's game - I saw him on TV before game 3 Monday and thought he looked great...so tragic for his family...

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.

@905hub_ Why did you take down the story about the SUV that jumped the curb and flipped into a fence on Rathburn, west of Cawthra?

[Russ D @russd27]

As a fellow Transcona native, seeing that 1st chapter with references to Saints, Bullwinkles, Ed Zed, etc., made me smile so widely!

@No2Rugs @HeatherIsUnsane All flights from Canada to Cuba are cancelled. The resort we have visited 18 times is currently closed. Trump's blockade caused all of that.

[Russ D @russd27]

@HeatherIsUnsane @No2Rugs And NYC won’t be packed? Nova Scotia is awesome and other than Halifax won’t be touristy.

Stay in Canada. We had a trip to Cuba booked for May that Trump screwed up for us, so instead we are heading to Vancouver Island.

My two-cents on Team Canada men's hockey. Forward skill, off the charts,grit, sold. Defense skill solid, grit, lacking. Goaltending OK.

To win you need a goalie making saves when needed, and D making the opposition pay. Think Stevens, @chrispronger, even Duncan Keith
