Florian Xhekaj in for Owen Beck

Canadiens lines vs. Blackhawks: Caufield-Kapanen-Slafkovsky Texier-Danault-Bolduc Kreider-Newhook-Anderson Dach-Evans-Beck Matheson-Hutson Guhle-Carrier Xhekaj-Dobson Fowler

Dach’s finesse to create the opportunity for Slaf’s goal is really impressive. Slaf-Dach-Caufield is our line of the future

L'attaquant Nick Suzuki (haut du corps) ratera de deux à quatre semaines d'activité. Forward Nick Suzuki (upper body) will be out for two to four weeks.

I say he does it

Matt Farley is the most prolific singer-songwriter of all time. He's written over 26,000 songs and makes $200k/year off music streaming royalties. He's also: - made 18 movies - written 5 books - been profiled by NYT and Wired He's best known as "The Poop Song Guy". I watched him perform live at "Burp. Fest" and he opened with "Diarrhea Bounce Back". "Experts have declared that Matt Farley is a genius." is something I can only say with quotes, because he tweeted it himself. I spent a week with him in suburban Massachusetts, going on a 15 mile "epic walks", attending his homeschool kids talent show, and listening to his greatest hits over 5 hours of car rides, with him pausing to explain his "genius" every other minute. I've never been more inspired by anyone. Just by being himself, he's given me more confidence in my ideas and what could come from putting them out into the world. He's independently discovered and embodied "do things that don't scale" and "ramen profitability" without reading Paul Graham. We talked about creative exhaustion from AI, how inspiration is everywhere, "reverse stealing" to promote his music before the internet, and why artists fake being sad for attention. I wrote for @sfalexandria_ on how and why he puts in such an overwhelming amount of effort into his creative process. sfalexandria.com/posts/matts…

🎩 🪄 HAT TRICK TONIGHT FOR MR. PULJUJÄRVI !!🔥

Habs forward Ivan Demidov may lose his Québec driver’s licence. Journal de Montréal reports he got caught going 111 in a 70 zone on the Bonaventure expressway, this after getting dinged going 145 on highway 40 through Trois-Rivières in February. Demidov has a probationary licence for new driver, so those two tickets should mean a loss of his driving privileges in the province.

Meanwhile, Flyers have lost 8 straight to start the season. Individual player stats are abysmal. Wonder who might be available on the cheap there who could bounce back elsewhere? Martone would be a dream but no way he's going anywhere, right?

The Rangers have also announced that Joonas Korpisalo is out another 4 weeks Joe Veleno 3 months

Ryan Dixon of Sportsnet believes the Detroit Red Wings would prefer to get an up-and-coming center in return for Simon Edvinsson. He suggested Caleb Desnoyers, Berkly Catton, James Hagens, Dalibor Dvorsky, and Kent Johnson as potential trade return targets.

David Pagnotta: There are teams that have circled back...with Detroit on Dylan Larkin to say hey, his list is growing, if we're part of the consideration give us a call; I think Montreal is of that notion...they did that recently - Morning Cuppa Hockey (10/6)
