One of the best 5-on-5 performances of the year for the Canadiens as they solve the Wild.

Also in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal the apparent disrespect of Bryce Pickford.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words.

They hid it in books.
They lied in the reels.
They warned y’all of Public Broadcasting
Like truth was disease.

Same past, told abroad…
Somehow more complete.
Then they say, “We didn’t know,”
And the public chose retreat.

The Canadiens were sloppy which had to be addressed in the Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal, but for more cheery feelings the Wilde Cards is an attempt to assess what 2026 may look like on the forward depth chart.

Hint: there’s a lot of NHL players.

Have to wonder just how the U.S. now freezing visa processing for nationals from 75 nations – including Russia, will have an affect on Russian NHL players, either those currently playing or those that may be coming . . . Zharovsky (Canadiens)? Thoughts @bwildemtl.bsky.social @ericengels.bsky.social

My glass is most definitely half full. These are the lessons that need to be lived. The Wilde Goats is actually a positive.

More positives are Danault and Montembeault.

And to round out the COTW, the Wilde Cards is Demidov’s path to the Calder Trophy.

The offence went back to work again against Vancouver.

Demidov had a breakout game, is it time for a goalie to go down and who ya got, and Hage will be a PPG player and why.

In a rebuild, you begin by selling hope before transitioning to selling success. It can be a difficult journey. But sometimes, you get to sell both at once, and that’s what the Canadiens appear to have going for them: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...
The Canadiens are enjoying the fruits of both ends of a rebuild at once
How Juraj Slafkovský, Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov represent the perfect ideal of selling both hope and success for the Canadiens.

A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

We know what historians will record: U.S. and EU provided aid to Ukraine and imposed sanctions on Russia that were *always* too little and too late.

There are, however, very solid grounds for optimism. Ukrainian determination & remarkable innovation continue to hold off much larger Russian forces.
We were all shocked, though not surprised, by the latest scenes from the sham peace negotiations that lead nowhere.
But let's keep the essential point in mind: Ukraine will win, as I demonstrate in this 158th long read on my blog.
Happy New Year to all!
