Jordan Binnington has a knack for rising to the occasion. He rewards jon Cooper's loyalty with 26-save shutout as #TeamCanada opens with 5-0 win over Czechia.Suzuki, MacKinnon, Horvat, Stone and Celebrini score goals.

#Canadiens pull off another miracle comeback in Ottawa but surely they can get more shots on net.

Donald J Trump's uses extortion to get Machado's Nobel Prize but this bit of farce should guarantee that he'll never win the real thing.

LEFT: Heartfelt condolences on Rob Reiner's death from a kind, stable person who should have been president.

RIGHT: Obscene gloating over Rob Reiner's death from a delusional sociopath who never should have been president.

DJT's repulsive comments on the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife are not worthy of the presdent or, in fact, a. member of tne race. The sad part is that he is incapable of feelimg shame.

Habs whip Mammoth 6-2 and that's good news for both Montreal goalies. It's a confidence booster for Sam Montembeault and Jakub Dobes benefits because Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka is one of his rivals for a berth on
Czechia's Olympic team. #HabsIO

Being a sports fan talkes its toll on sleep, Stayed up until 3 a.m. to watch te #BlueJays lose and back up at 6 to watch Felix Auger-Aliassime win in Paris. Another late night of multitasking on deck with World
Series and Canadiens in Seattle.

Grew up in an era when mangers had to pry the ball out of a starting pitcher's hands.

LA-
Philly game was a 0-0 tie before the starters were yanked.

I understand the #bluejays want to save Yesavage for future but the purist in me thinks there’s something wrong in pulling a pitcher who’s working on a no-hitter

I was privileged to be the first person in Montreal to interview Ken Dryden when he arrived to play for the Voyageurs and attend law school at McGill.
On that occasions and futurer encounters, I wass always impressed with his intelligence and his humanity. RIP Ken
