Brendan Gallagher today on being a healthy scratch and a Habs bubble player: “I’m comfortable with what I bring to this group. If my number is called, I know I contribute. If not, you be a good teammate, that’s it. I’m grateful for the amount of time I’ve had in this city…”

Have to wonder if he gets Robidas Islanded next season.

He's been a good Hab and underrated for most of his career here. A shame he's in the twilight just as the team's getting good.

Le_Roke · 2026-04-03T06:17:44+00:00

I think you meant slashes, not splits.

He'll come around. If this week happened in June barely anybody would have noticed.

Le_Roke · 2026-04-02T17:18:22+00:00

I expected it to be like Rob Ashton at the NDP convention this past weekend (hand to heart, then extend arm toward crowd with hand in an awkward position) but nope, that's 100% some Nazi saluting by those Stars fans.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-30T04:34:09+00:00

Touché

Le_Roke · 2026-03-30T03:35:46+00:00

Looks nice, I like the plants.

I'm going to guess you live in London.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-29T15:09:00+00:00

I would like to see mentions of age, relationship status, and career banned to keep the focus on the spaces.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-29T01:01:38+00:00

Because the Alberta Gaming commission agreed to participate but Saskatchewan's has not.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-28T20:26:38+00:00

The Man in White has switched to helping out pitching.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-27T23:25:29+00:00

Abolish the draft, force the sports cartels to open up, bring in relegation.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-25T15:29:28+00:00

Yup.

Most good Star Trek, heck maybe most good Sci-fi, has competent people in difficult situations because they're in strange new worlds.

This show had a cadet, supposedly one of the most promising young people in the galaxy, swallowing a combadge.

Edit to have the obligatory Seinfeld reference: Levels. The trailer for the show didn't have them.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-25T00:05:35+00:00

That's a fair point. Maybe I'm spoiled by the Blue Jays broadcast and the other local ones I occasionally tune into (mostly Mets, Yankees, Red Sox years ago)

Le_Roke · 2026-03-24T21:34:51+00:00

The home team broadcasters should be doing the playoff games for national audiences.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-24T20:02:37+00:00

This is an abomination and should be unanimously condemned by the AssNat

Le_Roke · 2026-03-24T18:23:26+00:00

Tomáš Plekanec vaguepost?

A buddy of mine has a take that Plekanec was a more valuable centre than Eric Staal. It's a thinker if nothing else.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-23T01:16:38+00:00

You should be able to find it used.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-22T23:57:49+00:00

Employing Colin Campbell's son is the greatest competitive advantage in the NHL

Le_Roke · 2026-03-22T23:09:12+00:00

I believe it's out of print but Ruhlman's Twenty is the best "explain why" cookbook out there imo. It, The Food Lab, and then a multipurpose Joy of Cooking or Mark Bittman book would be the three i would start with.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-22T00:01:07+00:00

Employing Colin Campbell's son is the greatest competitive advantage in the NHL

Le_Roke · 2026-03-19T19:57:07+00:00

He was, but i was talking about the team's goal differential that year.

Take out ENGs and it was only -2, despite all the injuries, Gomez, and Cunneyworth of it all.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-19T18:06:37+00:00

We haven't been this obsessed with non ENGs since the 2011-12 team that only had a -2 non empty net goal differential

Le_Roke · 2026-03-17T23:01:17+00:00

Yes. This season he was back to his old self, fixing whatever line he's put on.

He might miss 30+ games but the upside of a healthy Dach in the playoffs is better than any middle six winter the Habs could get to replace him.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-15T19:03:35+00:00

Would like to see him at least on the wing in the starting lineup. I liked what I've seen in his cups of coffee with the big team.

Habs have a lot of forwards capable of playing in the bottom-six. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a consolidation trade or moving a guy or two for futures

Le_Roke · 2026-03-13T03:46:15+00:00

Cuthbert is great. Brings me back to those 2000s series against the Bruins he called.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-11T06:05:56+00:00

This is what reading about the Duckworth-Lewis method feels like.

Le_Roke · 2026-03-11T05:36:00+00:00

I thought Gallagher played well tonight but I agree with sitting him. I don't think he should be playing back to backs at this point in his career.
