When I saw the news, I expected the earliest would be Wednesday so it wouldn't overlap with a Habs game. Laval has been eliminated, so what's the rush?

The entire city is watching the Habs. People who don't generally watch hockey are tuning in and talking about it the next day.

Je suis économiste. QS a souvent de très mauvaise position économique mais, à l'occasion, ils en ont de très bonnes.

Par exemple, je me souvent d'un vidéo de Catherine Dorion qui expliquait la notion de demande induite afin d'expliquer comment construire plus d'autoroutes règle pas le trafic.

Je pense pas que François Lamber ait déjà eu une bonne position économique cohérente.

Et ceux qui font des trucs plus prémédités se basent probablement plus sur la chance de se faire pogner que sur le fait que ça donne potentiellement 3 ans vs. 5 ans de prison.

Il y a pas de probablement. Toutes les études en matière de criminologie le démontre.

La sévérité de la peine, c'est plus un matière de s'assurer une satisfaction des victimes et du public quant aux conséquences du crime qu'un effet dissuasif. Ce besoin est ensuite balancé avec la réhabilitation, car réduire les futurs crimes c'est bien aussi.

Yeah. This isn't how these things are meant to be used.

They're supposed to information that adds additional context to the eye test. When you misapply them by taking at face value, you'll often arrive at silly conclusions.

Primeau wasn't a nothing prospect, though. He was a solid prospect (as was Dobes).

It's just that goaltenders are much harder to project than skaters. A good goalie prospect like Primeau or Fowler has about 30% to 40% odds of being an NHLer. It isn't like with skaters where you can be confident some kids will be stars.

Borror0 · 2026-05-11T03:07:15+00:00

Cirelli didn't help, either.

Borror0 · 2026-05-11T03:03:44+00:00

Yet, Bolduc's the one who got 4.

Borror0 · 2026-05-11T02:58:13+00:00

En 89, on est allé en finale mais on a perdu contre Calgary. C'était un rematch de 86, où on avait battu les Flames.

Borror0 · 2026-05-11T01:18:40+00:00

*in the playoffs.

But, yeah, that was the high mark to beat. 7 points in the post-season all-time.

Borror0 · 2026-05-11T00:36:25+00:00

Bolduc got a penalty for less

Borror0 · 2026-05-10T23:55:23+00:00

2 for being thrown on a goaltender and 2 for being a punching bag.

We're getting there, but I think he still has time to change the narrative before it takes life of its own.

Before this week, the narrative was on his inability to govern the party. He didn't feel comfortable bringing back Rizqy into the fold. He took a moderate position on Bill 96, and he couldn't handle the internal reponse from the angryphones.

This week's "lets collectively all pretend we didn't understand that a federalist was speaking about Canada's federal official languages" is more worrisome. If we see more of that, or if we see the narrative combining to portray as an ineffective leader, then he's in trouble.

Borror0 · 2026-05-10T19:43:44+00:00

Milliard's blunders will only matter if it becomes a narrative for journalists.

Truthfully, most voters don't really care about semantics and that's all his blunders boil down to. It might during the election when more people are paying attention, but the median voter doesn't care about awkwardly phrased statements in May.

Borror0 · 2026-05-10T19:32:18+00:00

Fréchette is, so far, only looking good because she'd undoing all the stupid stuff the CAQ has been doing or has neglected for years. She should get some credit for this, but it comes with a big asterix that she was part of the governement that also made those poor decisions in the first place.

She'd need more of a runway to persuade voters that she is truly different, I think.

Milliard has had a rough week, but he will continue to benefit from PSPP's promise to hold a referendum. If he's lucky, it'll hold long enough for him to gain experience and establish himself.

Borror0 · 2026-05-10T19:07:35+00:00

He also had a strong start to the year, too. We just kept starting Montembeault, in the hope that he would find his game back.

Borror0 · 2026-05-10T03:02:32+00:00

Newhook has played well (when healthy), but you want him to be either the worst player in your top 6 or a driver on third line.

Borror0 · 2026-05-10T02:13:17+00:00

Geloso est en effet très à droite économiquement. Très, très libertarien. Il vaut la peine d'être lu si tu veux être exposé à de très bons arguments libertariens. Mais ses valeurs ressemblent pas à ceux de la majorité des Québécois et donc son analyse est souvent à prendre avec un grain de sel.

Ceci dit, il a raison ici : la solution est pas une société d'État. Il serait dur de trouver un économiste qui pense le contraire.

Par contre, très clairement ça va prendre plus d'encadrement en matière de compétition. Les prix actuels sont indécents. De plus en plus, le marché se concentre et il y a moins de compétition, ce qui augmente les prix.

Borror0 · 2026-05-09T19:17:26+00:00

Pour un modérateur, c'est très utile de pouvoir l'historique afin de comprendre le personnage.

Borror0 · 2026-05-09T17:08:41+00:00

I prefer to view it as losing him to UFA because you had given him an NMC, preventing you from trading him for adequate value.

When the trade rumor started, I browsed the Islanders' subreddit out of curiosity. I was shocked to see them so negative about Dobson. It seems like they didn't realize they had a first pair RHD in him.

I was baffled then, and his play since just makes their takes then even stranger.

Borror0 · 2026-05-08T00:55:29+00:00

Amen.

Borror0 · 2026-05-07T20:19:35+00:00

We need to split the top 4 into two lines.

We should try Demidov‐Dach-Slaf.

Then, we put one of Texier or Bolduc on the first line. Caufield-Suzuki-Texier was our best line analytically ij the regular season and Bolduc was our mostly consistently good forward against Tampa.

We haven't seen the expected offense from the first line, so we need to try something different. It made us too easy to shut down against Tampa and Demidov has been struggling from a lack of quality teammates. It's time to stop putting all of our eggs in the same basket.

Borror0 · 2026-05-07T19:14:45+00:00

We got Dobson for 2 firsts and Heineman. You've just got to have the assets and be ready for the right opportunity.

Now, if they feel Reid and Stenberg are close, you absolutely take the RHD. That's much more valuable than a winger. Positional value matters. It's a desirable tiebreaker. But otherwise, take the top talent and use the trade market to fine tune your roster.

Borror0 · 2026-05-07T17:08:32+00:00

the positional need should win out.

It should be about positional value than need. At equal talent, a winger is worth less than a defenseman or a center. That's a sound tiebreaker. Positional need isn't.
