She has single handedly ruined any enjoyment I had previously in watching a Chiefs game. The broadcasts now are flat our embarrassing but the ratings tell the real story and that's all that matters.

I'm not an NFL fan so I never watch games. But looking at it from the outside makes me believe the world has gone crazy. 27 millions people watch a game on TV hoping to catch a glimpse of a pop singer in the attendance??? On TV??? Why not just watch a youtube video of her songs, if you like her that much? I really don't get it.

But then, 50% of Americans are still willing to vote for Trump, so I guess that's my answer right there.

I love the Trump card. Because here in Canada our choices are clearly so much better.

No one cares
I thought that we collapsed in our zone a bit too much and left a ton of room available in the slot last game. It allowed Matthews to have too much time and space and he burned us, Bedard is a similar player and unless we get a bit more aggressive he will get too many high-quality chances.

We had no plan to counter theirs in the last 5 min and the second period was last season all over again, rinse-repeat.And of course Allen was Allen.

We were disorganized defensively and let's not forget that Allen faced 42 shots, many of which were 15-20 feet from his crease, Samsonov allowed 5 and our shot pattern was nothing like the Leafs. The goalies always get a hard time in Montreal but in all fairness, the keeper can only do so much. We need to learn to tighten up in our own zone.

The prices people are willing to pay are nuts.

Is that Tinordi, as in Jared Tinordi? This guy is like a cat, he has 9 lives.
Yes, that's the Habs Jared Tinordi. He's been a cheap replacement level dmen since traded away and played a few games every season in the NHL.

To be fair with the guys they actually matched the Leafs 5v5 in terms of scoring chances (2.0 expected goals each). But the Leafs are so lethal on the PP…if they play at that level 5v5 all year (I don’t think they will) we won’t be a bottom dweller

It's a false equivalency IMO.

I'm really, really not a Trudeau fan. I disagree with many of his policies and I actually support Quebec independence. And yet, I would vote for him 100 times out of 100 if the only other choice was a deranged, mentally unstable narcissist and megalomaniac with no moral compass who's willing to sacrifice democracy to replace it by a personality cult and an authoritarian style regime only to flatter his already inflated ego.

True, wasn’t as disappointed with the teams overall effort as I was with the lack of the special teams and defense coaching.

All of that describes Trudeau to the tee.
