Physical altercations probably 15. I had my arm broken in Montreal. I got jumped by 5 or 6 masked and hooded black block and antifa attackers. I blocked a traffic cone four times with my left forearm, as man was trying to cave my face in and one of those blows broke my arm because the base on those tones is really dense. And what happened with the police there in Montreal, nothing, two months later, the investigator told me they'd lost the street footage.

Can this year's Bruins really be considered NHL's best team ever?
"As the bruins approach the NHL record for points, it's a good time to look at the current record holder. The 1976 77 Canadians, those habs finished 68 and 12 for 132 points, and they did it without the benefit of overtime or shoot out, considered one of the greatest teams ever, the Canadians could have easily won anywhere from 6 to 8 of those tie games. That would give them 66 to 68 wins and 138 to 140 points under today's format. Montreal's point percentage that year was a ridiculous 8 25. Boston is currently at 8 13, and with three more losses with ten games remaining. I'm Dave ferry.

"montreal" Discussed on Monocle 24: The Urbanist
"Hello, I'm Andrew Turk and you're listening to tall stories on monocle 24, brought to you by the team behind the urbanist, the show all about the city as we live in. Buried beneath the streets of Montreal and peeking out at appropriate points throughout the city exists a collection of mid century architectural marvels. The state of the art metro stations in Quebec's largest city didn't only impress design critics when it was first introduced back in 1966, though, their trains innovated on the engineering side of the tracks too. To tell us more, has to underhill brings us this tool story. On the 14th of October, 1966, thousands gathered at Montreal's berry de montigny station to witness the opening ceremony of the city's new state of the art subway system. A group of journalists and local dignitaries followed Mei Jean trapo, down the station's lengthy escalators, deep into the bowels of the city, where Montreal's archbishop cardinal leger blessed the first train to arrive at the platform. While it had only taken 5 years to build, the project had been decades in the making. The plan to build an underground rail network in the city had been hotly debated since the early 1900s, but two world wars and economic depression meant the project had been put on the back burners until the 1960s. Toronto, which overtook Montreal is Canada's most populous city in the 1940s may have beaten Montreal in building the country's first subway over a decade earlier. But the Quebec capital's network boasted high-tech engineering that was unparalleled in North America. Trains ran on rubber tires rather than metal wheels, allowing them to quickly accelerate and break. This meant trains could run closer together, as well as creating quieter journeys without noisy screeching as carriages moved across curves in the track. And by tunneling underground, instead of digging trenches, as had been done in Toronto. Planners were able to leave densely populated inner city neighborhoods intact. While many credit mergers with the construction of the metro. The real force behind the project was his right hand man, Lucien sonie. As an Ardent proponent of freeways, was initially reluctant to commit to the metro. But Sonya was a firm believer in underground public transit, particularly in a city where temperatures regularly dropped below -10° in winter. To convince chapel, sangria took him to Paris so he could see a rubber tired metro in action. This experience dramatically changed trapez views and helped him understand that having their own version could establish Montreal as a modern world class city, and it wasn't just the technology that sewing the trapo were impressed by. The elegant architecture that differed from station to station, giving each its own distinct character, left a mark on the duo, and they decided to replicate it in their subway plans. While Paris metros a feat of arnoux, Montreal's is a mid century modern time capsule. A competition was held among Canadian architects to decide the design of each station, meaning each has their own individual look. But what unites the majority is their heavy use of exposed concrete showcasing the material's aesthetic and structural potential and its stark grayness is juxtaposed with brightly colored geometric tiling and molded plastic benches. Site specific artworks were also commissioned to adorn the stations, with sculptures, stained glass, and murals from the most notable Quebec artists of the day. This investment in contemporary art it was believed would not only add a sophisticated touch to the stations that would elevate it against Toronto's utilitarian subway. But being added attraction that might draw Montreal is in at a time where many of them were still choosing their cars over public transit. And while Khan may still have been king when the metro opened in the 1960s, Montreal's ever growing metro network is today one of North America's busiest rapid transit systems and transports over 650,000 riders around the city each day.

"At the glass half empty first. And there's something to be said for that. So I don't think McMahon would have changed the strategy. He believed and he was convinced by his surroundings that we had to get the belt off of Brett, like it's going to change the course of time. I don't believe that to be true. I don't think it would have been a big blip in the road quite honestly. Brian Shaw wants to know, when the communication between Brett and Vince start back and how it events go about trying to mend that relationship, the aftermath was just ugly. Well, he helped men relationship about communicating. Yeah. They talked. God damn, what a concept. They fucking talked. As men as adults and as professionals. They finally started communicating only a few years too late. So to me, it's no mystery on how that ended up. And I think Vince had a quasi guilty conscience. About how all this went down, the heart rate and the heartbreak that it caused, the fact that Brett had had some health setbacks since that Montreal screwjob. I think Vince felt badly so badly about that. As we all did, so if they communicated and that was a, that was different. And it was pleasant. And it was great to have him back and I was there that day, obviously, that Brett came back and it was emotional. A lot of guys are crying and happy and hugging and all that stuff. Because he had great respect for the roster. If you had, if he had two captains, if you had two captains, you're not going to football team. Those captains for us would have been undertaker and Brett. There, they were the most respected guys, most motivational guys in the locker room that always took time to talk to the younger guys about how to get over how to stay over, et cetera, et cetera. How to be a pro, I was both those guys were great pros. Let's talk a little bit about Tommy cash's question. We always hear about the main event of WrestleMania being planned out for months in advance. What was the timeline for stone cold being slighted for that spot? Was it before Montreal and when the plan of been putting Austin over in their third encounter at WrestleMania 14? So we talked at the top of the program that it felt like we still wanted to do the Brett Sean rematch at WrestleMania. I'm curious if we started with that. I mean, Austin's clearly getting so hot. I mean, that run he had in 1998 was just unbelievable. So I'd like to think we still wind up there. But it does beg the question, what's everybody else do? It feels like undertaker is going to be working with Kane no matter what, based on the big debut, so we've kind of got three guys here. We got to figure out what in the world are we doing? With Shawn Michaels, the undertaker, but Sean Brett and Austin, what do you think? Now that you've had a chance to maybe think about the timeline a little bit, what would the plan of been for WrestleMania 14 for those folks? Well, you can't deny also getting over to the liberal he was. So you got to run with that. Right. You have to. And all of a sudden, here's what was ironic to me is that, you know, take her in such a important part of all this these matches, this whole scenario, as he was loyal, he could be dependent upon any deserve to pay days and the main events. Austin, situation was unstoppable. He was going to get he was getting over to a degree that we had not experienced since the Hogan days. And Hogan's height, so I'm a firm believer that Austin's arise to the top was unstoppable. So however way you want to resell for your deck, you know, have at it. But Austin was going to be the guy. We couldn't be denied. You don't get a chance to promote a guy like that very often. They don't come along once in a I don't know that anybody has come along since Austin stepped aside that is has done what he's done. His popularity was insane. You know, I was sitting there looking at merchandise numbers. All the measurables that we could acquire, we evaluate, and Austin's merchandise sales without a title, you know, all that stuff was unbelievable. As astronomical. So, and I don't know. That was a fate of conflict. He was going to be the guy. How we got there. I don't know. But he would have been, to me, he would have been the guy at WrestleMania. And he would

And it's like they take about three or four passes to get all the vitamins in. This is easy. A little water. Little scoop. Let's go. There you go. Check it out, boys and girls. I think you're gonna dig it. Let's do some questions here. What have we got so many questions about this? All these years later, people are still fascinated with it. I don't think there's any chance we can get to all of them, but let's do a few here. Let's see here. We got a great question here. Hypothetically, if you invent swapped roles in the company, how would you have handled getting the title off of Brett? And how would you have seen the title picture afterwards? I would have sat down with both guys. And said, here's what we're going to hear what I want to do. I need your help getting it done. Yeah. And then I would have had a plan, a succession plan. You know, rich career is not over and he's still going to be a champion at some point. You're not going to get a guy like him with so much name, but they are in skill. And not having a beer champion at some point in time again. So the key thing I would think in hindsight, which is easy to spot, is communicate. Get them both together and communicate. And see if we could not work things out as professionals and has grown men. Without the overwhelming agendas of distrust and anxiety, communicate, get together, talk it through, let's see if we can't come up with a resolve that makes everybody happy. Head Austin not been dumped on his head with SummerSlam. You think Austin could have been the guy. I know it would have spoiled, I quote, unquote WrestleMania moment. But boy he and Brett could have tore it up, and that would have been one heck of a way to get the title off of Brett, right? Anytime, anytime you can get Austin and Brett and ring together against each other, you got a good chance of winning your creative battle. They liked each other too. They had great chemistry. So that would have been an option no doubt about that, but Steve's industry obviously curtailed that scenario. Brad bell wants to know, this being the 25th anniversary of 1997, who do you consider the MVP of that year? Brett, Sean, Austin, taker, someone else. Good question. Eric Brad bell. If that is your real name, I would, you know, everything is centered around Britt and Sean. Yeah. So I was thinking logically it would be one of the two of them. And I think Brent would probably get my vote. I agree. I think Brett's probably the MVP of 97. Yeah. Two count Kyle says, Jim, knowing everything we do now, and we're all parties involved are, at this stage of their life and careers, do you think Vince would still green light to screw job if he had the chance to do it over? Oh God, you know, they'll always go back to the same shit. You know, I got to protect the belt. Yeah. I have another built mate who gives a shit. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know Conrad, the defender of answer because it's a hypothetical question, but probably so I think he'd steer the course. Dave mcclain, great question here. If the Montreal screwjob did not happen, do you believe we still would have seen the evil mister McMahon character that had such a great run with stone cold? Well, I would hope so and I think so. It's certainly the screwjob gave newfound momentum to mission McMahon's character change. Maybe out the whole damn thing that was the best thing that came out of the Montreal screw jobs at Vince turned eel. Because it worked out so well for Brett, and so well for Austin, and so well for Vince, and Vince did become a character. Kyle asked a question. There are wrestlers who still to this day say this was all the work. What are your thoughts on those guys saying? Well, those gentlemen, I'm assuming gentlemen. Yeah. Are ignorant? They're stupid. Proving once again, you don't want wrestlers doing your taxes. Oh, okay. It's always about me. It's always about, you know, the art of the sword. And the work. And hey brother type deal. That's just so ridiculous. It's embarrassing for someone to even ask that question that they believe that it was till this very day. You think that guys can start talking about a wrestling union?

"So, and that's how I looked at it. Of course, I'm not a wrestler and I haven't had this ingrained in my head since the day I walked in I got my first check type deal. It's just, it was a bad, bad shit. And we didn't do anything to help solve that conundrum. Did the job. Who's going to do the job? And I'm like, who's going to do the hit? Who's going to make me look bad or whatever? Wrestlers have the chance to make themselves look great or bad. Three seconds is all this thing takes. As we saw in Montreal, it was took less than three seconds, and it was done very unscrupulously. What's crazy to me is to just think about how much money that really is. Using the old candy dandy inflation calculator, two and a half $1 million in $1997, is like 4.6 million today. A gargantuan sum. There's almost no chance that Brett could walk from that and it feels as if when he's asking for certain assurances creatively, Vince knows what he's looking for. It just doesn't give it to him. Right. So he's gone. And I'm curious, when does he come and tell you? When does Vince come to you and say, all right, the deal's done. Brett's going to WCW. A few minutes after he had the conversation. Okay. That was plugged in. I was aware. I sure Bruce is aware. He smelled a little advanced at his little group. And I think we all were informed. I don't know, Bruce ever talked about when he found out. Oh, yeah. I mean, I think everybody found out kind of the same time, but I guess my question is, is everyone's natural follow up? What are we going to do about the belt? It wasn't mine. Okay. But I understand that thinking. Because it's concerned in that line of thinking, yes. But no, I just no, it was just one of those deals where we're talking about the wrong topics here. Brett wanted some loyalty. He wanted events to hug you. He wanted us to say, look, you've been so loyal. Right. It was the greatest I've ever had here. Your great days are not over. You know, title runs are going to still continue to come your way at the right time when it fits creatively. And you're going to be paid well. But you're not going to be paid as well as WCW can pay you. I think Vince at a certain point to take pressure off himself and not second guess himself on this decision. Was willing to kind of let it cool and let the Bischoff side get more powerful with their offer. More attractive with their offer. And bris got a big family and he's worked all his life to kind of make this kind of money and I would say it's life-changing money. It would be to my life. So I think he wanted at that point just to, okay, I'm tired, Britt, I can't do this. Everything had a mystery to it. Everything seemed to be like it was a work. Smell that out like a trained high dollar bloodhound. He knew something was at least discuss the narrative that's out there because it gets mentioned a lot. And we can guess why, well, we were nervous that he was going to show up on nitro the next night with the title. The reality is Brett's contract expired on December 8th with the WWF. Right. It's not as if he was legally able to show up on another program the day after Survivor Series. That would have been a major lawsuit that was hard to win or the other side. It's not exactly a secret either. The stories are out there that is going to be leaving and going to WCW. Along the way, of course, we've got to negotiate what the finish is going to be. Lots of folks have claimed credit for it over the years. I think most believe it was probably Jim cornett, who suggested, you know, once upon a time, any reference that there was another moment in history where a quote unquote screwjob happened, do you believe the credit for that idea? And boy, that's probably not the right phrase. Do you believe that maybe cornett reminded people that there is another option? I can see corny doing that. And rightfully so, I mean, it wasn't option. Was it the best option? I don't know about that, but it was an option. You get the championship off of Barrett in a very controversial way. And it was now share controversial. So but that's where I started Tapping out some of this stuff in that Montreal weekend. It was just, you know, come on, man. We're making some crazy decisions here. And sometimes you think Vince is going into business for himself, but she could. He owned the company, signed the checks as his cash. Yeah. But it just was the wrong route and the communications. We pointed out two or three things here. Why do we do that? What did that help? How did that help? Well, it didn't help. But it put this back in the driver's seat. His plan was coming to fruition. He was going to get rid of Brett. And do it into the guys of a new deal with Eric. And have the coast clear week you assign it. I'll give you an example of this deal.

"Hey guys, listen up. I know these days when you watch the news, it feels like it's one hit after another and it's all bad news for the economy. Well, let me give you some good news. It's not all that bad when it comes to real estate. Let me explain. You see a year ago, man, real estate was hot, hot, hot, everybody and their brother was trying to go out and buy another house. What did that mean? It was so competitive that a lot of folks got discouraged. So let me ask you, have you thought about buying a house in the last couple of years, but maybe just couldn't win a bid? I used to hear that all the time. Well, now is the time to buy. Yes, interest rates have creeped up a little bit, but what that's created is an opportunity for you. A year ago, it wasn't uncommon for there to be more than a dozen offers on a home, many of which were over list. That is not the case today. So if you got discouraged once before about trying to buy a new house, now's the time to take another look. Now, yes, interest rates have creeped up a little bit. But you're not going to overpay for the home, but here's what you will do. You'll stop throwing your money away on rent, and now you'll get a greater tax deduction. That's right. You see, at the end of the year, you're going to get a statement from your mortgage company that shows how much interest you paid. And you get to write all of that interest off. That means you could get a huge tax deduction. You never get that as a renter. Not only that, homes are still going up in value. Don't believe the hype all of the economists believe long-term real estate always works out. Let me give you an example. Maybe way back when on the housing collapse of 2008, you bought in 2007 and maybe overpaid. But if you hung in there, that House is worth a whole heck of a lot more now. If you've played in the stock market, you know what I'm talking about. You only lose money when you throw in the towel. Real estate long term always performs well. So here's my advice to you. Date the rate, marry the house. Find the house that you and your family love. Long term because here's what's not long term. These higher rates. I've yet to see a single economist who doesn't agree with me that rates are going to return. So doesn't it make sense to get the house you want right now, and then when rights improve, man, just get a lower monthly payment. In the meantime, you'll enjoy a greater tax deduction, and that property is going to continue to appreciate,

Courageous Truckers and the Canadian Convoy for Freedom
"Justin Trudeau, who I think just recently got reelected as prime minister, has been pushing relentlessly, some of the most draconian, some of the most backwards and some of the most unprecedented tyrannical measures when it has come to vaccine mandates, including requiring truckers have to show proof of vaccination coming to and from America. Now, all across Canada, despite the vaccine mandates, despite the mandatory vaccinations, cases are going up. Like crazy, especially in Quebec, where in Quebec, the province of Quebec is where Montreal and Ottawa is, which is auto, I believe is where the business of the Canadian government is done. Toronto is one of the biggest cities in Canada, cases have been going up steadily. So despite this mass vaccination campaign, it's having the opposite intended effect. And Canadian citizens are now. Doing their best impersonation of the American fighting spirit. Canadians are not known for public protests. They're not known for pushing back against tyranny. Canadians, I don't think ever got the credit they deserved. For stepping up and fighting alongside allied forces in World War I, World War II, and many of the wars of the last 50 or 60 years. They have fought against tyranny all across the planet. And now tyranny has come to them. And they're fighting back. There is now something called the freedom rally happening all across Canada. It is truckers that are convoying, they are tens of thousands of trucks are convoying across Canada. I'll read this story right here in canora where the temperature was expected to drop to negative 27 Celsius on Tuesday night, the host of volunteers were preparing to welcome a massive convoy of truckers. About two dozen people could be seen gathered at a community hub downtown, packing boxes of snacks and making sandwiches in a video live stream to Facebook by a supporter of the freedom rally, a convoy of truckers and their supporters that have been making its way this week from British Columbia to Ottawa in a protest against the COVID-19 vaccine

"A four day workweek. This comes over from their official website under their news. Category and this is both items montreal. Which is the studio. That's directly developing the upcoming gardens of the game and sherbrooke will switch to a four day workweek spread across of course four days and i believe the hours are thirty two hours the on their official website and they had a little faq section. So i'm going to read out some of those questions sort of ask themselves to conveniently answer and kind of trim it down a little bit so starting off with more on this initiative and how the transition will happen. this initiative is another step towards the embodiment of the studios values. Billy healthy creative and sustainable work environment for our employees. Currently various teams are working on the development of transition plans to ensure success and maintain the highest standards in the industry in the next few weeks. The montreal studios will be officially closed on fridays. Without changing the working conditions currently in place nor the salaries of employees thus switching from the forty hour week to thirty two hour week doesn't mean that the workload of teams will have to be condensed within four days. The idea is not to condense working hours into four days but rather to review our ways of doing things and our quality time invested with the aim of working better above all we want to increase the productivity and well being of our employees time freely we wanna reduce the time at work but increase the quality of the time invested whether it's on a team basis or for the studio as a whole a promising right balanced for everything. We hope that this will eliminate unnecessary time and build efficiency for example by reducing internal meetings from one hour to thirty minutes. How did the idea. And the need come about for montreal and sherbrooke to adapt work schedules. this is the last question we'll have to round this out. We've been wondering for a while about how can an ecosystem. Anna company increased their efficiency without compromising the wellbeing of their employees with remote working which has transformed the way we collaborate. We had already started an important cultural transition with the implementation of arrest period access to a personal financial advisor axed telemedicine platform reimbursement of mental health. Care and physical activity costs. Damn y'all hiring with the various pilot projects all over the world whether in iceland in the civil service or other examples of companies operating and technology industries. The results are inclusive. We are convinced that this renewed management of working time. We'll help cultivate the creativity and motivation of teams and become a real driver of innovation and performance. Ten react huge deal. This is definitely the first major aaa studio to do this. There's like so much that goes into it especially with it being montreal studio and how many studios are popping up there and there's a lot of competition right. This is going to be a huge kind of get for them for talent of people. Kind like Looking for different options as developers to any extent of when they're looking at options up in montreal where they wanna work like yeah not only aaa aaa like making some really good calls. It seems to be really kind of like looking out for the employees while still looking out for the product It's very interesting. I think the end of the day. We've talked about this a couple of weeks ago. When i'm forgetting what the studio was horses young horses were they announced this. And it's like it's the reality is it doesn't matter your size whether you're a small team or a triple a. Studio it's about. What is your product. What is the management. What is this systems. Who is your team. All of that stuff. And i think that at the end of the day stuff lives or dies on leadership and management of time and and kind of expectations of employees and employees kind of understanding what those expectations are being equipped to be able to hit them. So this is great. I think it's interesting. I don't think this works for everybody. But i loved it. I does montreal competent. It works for them and their implementing it. So that's this is. This is awesome. And i think that this is going to one hundred percent as we've already kind of seen shifts happen every studios has to kinda look at themselves and start asking a lot of questions and try to come up with answers that are just. Oh we're going to do it this way because we've done it that way forever. At what point do you think this could become a standard set thing at least in the games industry and there's a larger question like do you think the four day workweek is where we're moving towards as like a society. No i don't and i don't think it necessarily should be the standard. I think that the standard should be whatever's right for each individual company in the there is no standard when it comes to that stuff. What i do is really key and important to bring in is the most important thing in fields that involve tack of course that includes game development includes things like we do whatever. It's the ability to adapt and knocked comfortable knowing that the world is changing around you. That's what tech is right. It is constantly evolving thing. And it's really look at yourself and be like what is the best way for us to move forward. I kind of funny. It's what we do every year. That's what we do are kind of funny where it's like. We kind of look at the last year. Chedda things that aren't working trying to implement things that are working make some changes that it just keeps getting better and better and more efficient more optimized right and i think that a huge boon for that has been the idea of working remote and when it comes to a lot of these big development studios that just never been an option period. It was just like are envy's major big cities or you're not able to work there and it's not even an option but because of the pandemic one of the upsides of everything is it kind of forced everybody in these fields to get more quipped and informed on how tech works and it made everything easier and also forced a lot of systems like the google drives of the world and the video conferencing and like so many different messaging systems to improve and to work around creating a system that works for remote work so because of that so many factors in so many things are being cut away and we kind of had the last two years to iron out the wrinkles. It's not perfect yet but it is way better than it used to be. I can say this as a confirmation that going forward kind of funny will always be hybrid in some form even when we have our new studio like we are still coming up with ways to be able to work with janet who's down in l. a. And that has been like a core tenet of the vision of where our companies going. Because why would we not do this thing. And we used to be against that For different reasons mainly chemistry mainly like we wanted to have the in person vibe and all that stuff but the world forced us to create vibes just like we talked about the start of the show. I've never met you. Janet and i feel like i've known you for years like it's fine and it works in this shows. The is all there that i can speak authoritatively for what that means for content creation. There are people that can speak authoritatively what that means for game development and. I think that ida's.

The us women athletes are wearing dumped. It on and this is the part where regular nurse nurse. Say here we go again. Because women athletes had of course already been wearing bifurcated garments as part of their competition uniforms. They had actually even been wearing pants or bifurcated. Garments at the opening ceremonies of the winter games since the nineteen fifties as protection from the cold of course but in the history of the summer olympics. The prayed uniform was always in line with the fashionable silhouette and also the side dress codes of any given period and up until this point these kind of more quote unquote formal occasion. Something like an opening ceremony would have called for skirts and not pants. But during the fashion revolution of the nineteen sixties women fought really hard to break down gender barriers and this included these social codes. That barred them from wearing pants. Outside of leisure or sports settings it was a hard one battle and one thousand nine hundred. Ninety six olympics really reflected this seismic shift in the broader social.

It's okay to question right now but An especially in a year like this. Let let let's talk another year. I want to see all these prospects namely boucher play hockey this upcoming season. And then we'll see yeah. I'm not going to defend anybody in the organization in celebratory way and say in all the every pick was amazing. I'm just saying when people when people go at the organization and say that's a disgrace you reached. You blew it like come on you. just don't know It's okay to critique. I'm not in celebration mode. I'm not an apologist for the organization This thing could be absolute garbage and it could be a home run or somewhere in between just today's not the day to be analyzing exactly especially in a covert situation where we've had such limited looks at everybody. The whole league as limited looks at the guys they selected. They would obviously like to have more looks. But they haven't. And so there's gonna be mistakes made and this going to be organizations. That are doing a little dance. Because they got a guy could be potentially a top three. If you redrafted. Got him in the second round or something like that. So that's kind of how i feel about the nhl drop but certainly around. The draft is all kinds of deals. That have gone down whether it's assigning whether it's a big trade. We've got free agency happening on on wednesday and let's start there. Maybe before you get too much away from this ends sean simpson. Earlier today tweeted out. He felt like this week.

It really hasn't changed in that like take away people that want to say that You know the the senators are are going to have a tough time keeping their guys and and that's why wins chabad happened. That was that was a great moment. They really needed that The organization to get that kind of a commitment from that caliber of player here. But if. I'm brady shock..

They have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to talent and so shaun. What do you think the montreal canadians. We'll have to do tonight to win. Game four. I thought the montreal canadians would have been on the golf course weeks ago. I thought that when they went down three one to toronto that that was it. I thought that they're going to be too tired. When they faced the winnipeg jets. And then i thought i sure that the vegas golden knights were going to ground the montreal canadians into a fine paste and dispatch them into their summer vacation. I was wrong each of those three times and this is why. I don't gamble so i mean on one side i'm going to say yeah sure like montreal's done even if they win tonight. It doesn't matter because it's all over. But i've been saying that ever since. These playoffs began. So i'm going to stop saying that and and not gamble for sure. I just can't tell okay. Arbiter you gambling. No absolutely not. But i've with well. Actually i had i had. I had them beating the leaves. In the first round i had them being the jets. It took it took the golden knights to beat them in the third row so they surprised me there. And in this round actually. I did take the canadians. Just because they had been playing such a tight almost mistake. Free game over the first three rounds or at least since game five against toronto that i thought that would continue instead. The opposite has happened. In what in games. One and three of this series. The canadians made mistakes. That.

Usa and talking about this underdog status already been mentioned that that the has really nothing to write home about in this shortened regular season. They fired their coach back. In february they were ranked twenty fourth in the league. And sean i have to ask you because We talk a lot about the raptors on this. I guess some people have said it's like a low key raptors podcasts. As well and i just remember when the raptors went to the championship There was like lots of talk of them being such underdogs. And i just wonder if you could put this in perspective for me like is what is happening right now with the comedians. Even more of an underdog story. I mean it's an interesting one. Because i mean those are really laid out really well earlier. Is that this is. This is relatively new territory for the canadians. The canadians aren't supposed to be underdogs. The whole lord of the canadians. The reason that they're pre-game ceremonies can be forty minutes long. Sometimes it's because they're always honoring somebody who has fifteen stanley cups to the back of their name. I think the raptors were different in that. They're the only canadian team you know. They had the we the north marketing program. They'd had that that run of star players. Don't wanna play in toronto for a whole bunch of different reasons and in canada. Not just toronto. So there's a real sense of an infre- already complex. I think with nba fans in canada looking towards the in the united states that the raptors were always overlooked and and that in two thousand nineteen was a moment where the raptors and their legion of fans could stand up and say look. This is us. This is our moment. They had twenty five thousand fans watching on a screen at mosaic stadium. In regina they had they had street watch parties in montreal like fans in montreal cheering for something in toronto. I'm not sure we've seen that very often before. So i think it's a bit different. That that was a franchise in a sport sort of coming to light and really sort of showing mainstream basketball can be candidates sport to the canadians coming back as an underdog as more saying. Look like we're never ever going to live up to the great history of this franchise but you know we're still here. Because it's impossible to live up to winning five stanley cups in a row in the nineteen fifties and four stanley cups. In a row in the nineteen seventies and winning with dominance in the nineteen seventies. That in one year i believe it was a year i was born. They lost fewer than ten games. One player. I want to talk about before we go is carey price and arvin for for those who may not be familiar. I wonder if you can tell me a bit about carey price and what he has meant for this team. I can tell you a lot about k. price Put a carey. Prices not played at a level over the past few seasons that he had made everyone accustomed to during his prime years. Let's say twenty eleven to twenty seventeen or so. This draw canadian to seriously think about take time out here but in the playoffs over the last few years he's been incredible and so the same thing was true this year carry price out these until they started the final. He's been quite four in the final so far But it terms of what he needs to the canadians. That's what he needs. He's their franchise player like the pressure on him is really quite enormous in the sense that he follows a long line of franchise goaltenders lineage of goaltending in montreal. That dates back to late. George vezina like the turn of the twentieth century all the way through to kendra and jock plot. Ken dryden patrick wa carry price. It's it's it's a lot to deal with as a person and especially a person who has as let's say guarded and reserved and somewhat timid and not someone who embraces the spotlight. The way kyrie prices question is for you kerry. How did you feel that. You've played tonight in industries overall. I can definitely play better You know it's is just not good enough so for his place in cadence history quite complicated in the sense that it goes back to what i was talking about earlier with. Generational difference. It's it's he is the franchise leader in wins. Games played all sorts of categories by any other measure and he played for any other team he would be his number would guaranteed be hoisted into the rafters and retired when he when he was when he was done playing. He's probably gonna go to the hall of fame but in all those respects this opportunity to win his first stanley cup in his first stanley cup. Final would kind of cement all that in terms of canadians history. Because there's really there's no one up in the rafters at the bell centre. Who has was a not in the hockey hall of fame. But even that's not good enough like you need multiple stanley cups. You need all sorts of other sorta legendary feats to get there. It's actually a more exclusive club. Then the hockey hall of fame itself so it's place in canadians history is. Is that very much like sacconi. It's it's he's been the face of the franchise for the last decade a decade that has produced not a whole lot and this is his opportunity to change that. And so.

"Shine speaking of those fans. I guess whether or not there in the bell centre or even on the streets i i know you you recently have been able to get get in touch with a bunch of them across the country and i wonder if you can. You can tell me about some of them. Yeah i mean. Montreal is a foundational franchise for professional hockey north america along with the leaf. So you know for generations. I mean before the internet before cable tv before mass media outside of radio and television a lot of canadians had a choice on saturday night. You could you could watch the leafs or you can watch the canadian. So what that's done is sort of contributed to this generational attachment to a team despite geographical distance I spoke with a fan in sweden. Who grew up looking forward to the world championships every year but he also started hearing legends about the montreal canadians specifically One where you know. It's been widely attributed to montreal. That montreal was so good As are mentioned during some potatoes especially in its run of five straight stanley cups in the nineteen fifties that they changed the rules of the game. That they they changed fundamentally what it meant to be on a power play that in the old days when you were on a power play you kept playing until they ended up two minutes and it didn't matter if you scored one goal two goals three goals you kept going and that guy didn't get out of the penalty box well montreal specifically zone belliveau. I think it was one thousand nine hundred fifty five scored three power play goals in a stretch of forty four seconds and the following year. The leaks had no no. We got to change us. This is too much so it became that once. You scored once. The guy was out of the box. So they changed the rules so that resonated with the guy who is in his nid forties in sweden and he now gets up at two o'clock in the morning to watch the canadians and he is also become a blogger for a very popular canadians blog. Eyes on the prize. And it's like that across north america. I spoke with fan. And economists. I spoke with. There's a fan in brandon. Manitoba grew up on a farm in the southwest part of manitoba and his father was a canadians fan and when his son was born. Here's a week old before he was wearing his own canadians gear and when he was when he was two and a half. His son was diagnosed with leukemia and he had to undergo lots of treatment painful treatment and by the time he was four it was still ongoing and it was around the same time that saku koivu the born captain of the montreal. Canadians was undergoing publicly. his own sort of battle with cancer. I think as you all know sacco entered hospital for a non-hodgkin's lymphoma have to be found out the great result of of the scan. I just felt full of energy. I felt light again so with the father and the mother would say to the boys look sacco koivu getting his needles. He's getting his treatment He would like you to do the same so that we can all get better and stronger and you know that that little boy as of this year just finished his first year of medical school at the university of manitoba and is still known to wear his father's old steve shutt jersey around town. And that is that the families never been closer to their bond with the montreal canadians. How wow that is such a beautiful story. And i guess this this boy now a young man he would be one of those Young people that that are just talking about who. If for some reason that canadians do win the cup. It would be the first time that he would see it absolutely. I wonder as somebody who covers the team day in and day out if you have anything to add to it. John saying there this idea that this team has been able to reach. You know all across the country and even across the world you know the story of the young man. Sean spoke to brandon like the connection that this generation of fans have with someone like saka. Koivu kind of encapsulates perfectly because sack acquaintance time in montreal was largely built on on failure. The french morning papers build koivu is something of a savior for the haves miss the playoffs last year for the first time in twenty five years. Like you'll need that extra pressure. It's tough to be a little bit quicker and faster than the big defenseman so they touch me. Canadians were not good under his captaincy but he was a tremendous player. Who had a lot of injuries was never one of the top elite players in the nhl but very competitive guy always played well in the playoffs was was an underdog that everyone can root for it and in that sense he was sort of the the anti canadians hero. In the sense that they're used to having gill. Aflou maurice recharged on bella vo jacques plot these these all time greats. This generation clung to this crappy super talent and super competitive super determined player. Who was an underdog back from dot catholic incredible recovery and very little weak at times but yeah breaking in slowing her for years that's been employed and and now what you're seeing now falls from that like this generation of canadians fans is the first generation in franchise history to see their team as underdogs all the time. And that's what this run has been about. They were underdogs against leafs there. Underdogs against the jets. They were underdogs. Time against the vegas golden knights and they've been underdogs in this series against the lightning and it's the first time that their underdog status is sort of playing out. But this is this. Is the current generations reality in their relationship with the canadians and it's different than.

"Higher been hi. Sean thank you guys so much for coming by ominous yeah jamie fixture. Hey Look let's get real here Things are not looking great for the montreal canadians right now. The team has to win. Game four tonight to stay in the running and then of course they would have to win three more consecutive games after that or else the tampa bay. Lightning will clinch the cup. But i guess crazier things have happened. Here and sean generally speaking big picture. How would you characterize this playoff run for the canadians this season. I think it can almost depend on geography. I think unexpected might be an understatement for fans in quebec. Amazing feeling really was my throat is all scratchy. Just from screaming yelling. It's the vibe. Is the energy. The city is come alive big after covert and everyone being walked in and It's this huge. I think if you're speaking with fans in toronto it could be apocalyptic because the the leaves did have that three one series lead and this was supposed to be the year and they've been saying that every year since nineteen sixty seven in toronto but this was supposed to be the year that the leafs were going to go to the deep in the playoffs. If not all the way to the stanley cup in toronto they believe it was the leafs here and the fact that the canadians did that narrative. Both in sort of burnishes montreal's legend and also burnishes toronto legend which is at the opposite end of the legend spectrum an urban this is something that we talked about a bit the other week. We did this. Episode of the long standing leaves halves rivalry. But you remind me four montrealers perhaps fans what what do you think he would mean to end. This drought in not not winning a cup in almost thirty years. I mean it would mean a lot. Obviously there's pretty fractured fan base in montreal in the sense that they're generations of fans who are used to the legend. That sean was referring to stanley. Cup parades. along the usual route. It was the fourth stanley cup parade in four years but there was all of the excitement the adulation the passion there ever was. It seems montrealers will never become blase about lay kenner jam even if after twenty two stanley cups. Winning has become something of a habit. You know dynasties just being accustomed to being the best team if not every year then close to it but really the the bulk of the fan base. Let's say anyone born in nineteen eighty or later or even myself born seventy. Six wasn't really with it when the canadians were winning cups in the late seventies. There's only been really two cups in my lifetime. And for a lot of fans who were born in nineteen ninety There you really haven't experienced any cups so the reality of the fan base as they view. The canadians is very different. Depending on how old you are for the younger fans now. I mean this is. This is euphoric to the extent that you can't even describe because all they've heard is stories from their fathers and mothers or grandparents or great grandparents would view of the great kennedy agenda l. but in their lifetimes they have not witnessed it only of they not witness into witness the franchise that is almost the opposite of that so for those fans to have something that was legend. Now become rooted in reality is is just a whole different type of feeling and it's really a feeling that a generation of canadians fans hasn't felt since like the thirties. It's been a long time that there's been a generation of canadians fans who have no idea what it's like to compete for a stanley cup. So this is quite unique in the history of. I've had faith in the hab since day. One and i promise you we will win the stanley cup. Okay looking in the is all of you in montreal right now. Watching this over gonna win the. Have you been out on the streets and montreal. What's it been like out there to be fair. I mean i've been in the building during the most boisterous time in the streets sort of those kovin parties that you see outside the better at times you'll shoulder to shoulder. I have driven around. And there are a lot of car flags. We're gonna town general vibe. But it's obviously it's not quite the same quebec's coming out of lockdown as we speak and so that's the kind of the the weird thing about this. You know not having a full bell center. There's been this tinge of regret throughout this run. Remember remembering game six. My colleague mark on twenty dangerous turn to me at one point and just said imagine if there were twenty one thousand people here and it just looked at him and i nodded. And it's just it's great to watch and you can feel how important it is to the fan base and then at the same time you just. You just have.

He kept it alive and eventually about 20. Seconds.
