The Canadiens open their season with a mature effort. It wasn’t spectacular but it was an intelligent road game.

Great job at #tasteofcooksville @CooksvilleBIA! Such a great event. My favourite Mississauga neighborhood. Makes me wonder why someone didn’t think of this 20 years ago. Looking forward to being back next year and hopefully seeing even more local vendors.
Got plans to be hungry tomorrow? Stop by the Taste of Cooksville! We’ll have 30+ food vendors at Dundas and Hurontario tomorrow, all ready to feed you 😋 #tasteofcooksville #mississauga

The statement from @Concacaf and its 41 member associations is crystal clear.
This World Cup has belonged to the goalkeepers. And Martinez’s game so far might be the best the best GK performance yet. #ArgentinaVsEspaña
Whatever else you may say about Argentina, they defend with relentless desperation, like it’s the last game they’ll ever play. That, and Messi, are their superpowers. #ArgentinaVsEspaña

It is with profound sadness that the Saskatchewan Roughriders mourn the loss of linebacker and team captain Jayden Dalke, who passed away in a car accident yesterday evening. A relentless warrior on the field, Jayden’s determination, toughness and work ethic inspired his teammates, who cared deeply for him and are heartbroken by his passing. - @sskroughriders
Lamal looking great early on. No team defends with as much desperate aggression as Argentina. #ArgentinaVsEspaña

With the Habs 1 win away from making it to the conference final, it's the perfect time to grab a copy of Habs Nation: A People's History of the Montreal Canadiens. I just got another box of books from my publisher, so if you want a signed copy, let me know. Or order it online.
