Are we in Canada paranoid about 2026 or should we not be worried?

On A Personal Note :

Not many posters know this but I post from jail. It's not easy but I just got some wonderful news. The District Attorney greenlighted my resentencing earlier today. Looks like (my brother and) I may be getting out of prison VERY, VERY SOON!!!

Wish us luck!

I got a thumbs up on this post! Not sure if the poster got my joke or he took it seriously and was wishing me good luck getting out of prison. Either way, thank you @jigglysquishy.

I posted this in the other thread, but just to post it here:

Marchand-Crosby-MacKinnon
Lafrenière-McDavid-Bédard

Reinhart-Thomas-Marner

(Bennett, Byfield, Stankoven, Kyrou, Jarvis, Cirelli, Verhaeghe, Barzal, Hagel, Hyman, Scheifele)

Binnington
Hill
(Skinner, Montembault)

Thanks, mang. Good team.

Montreals defense. We were talking about Montys numbers and I said he is playing behind a terrible defensive team.

Oh... Now I get it. I thought you were saying Team Canada's D was going to be terrible. My bad.
Thanks for clarifying.

And in other news Mcdavid goes out of the game tonight and Skinner let's in 3 goals on 6 shots.

Small "g", please.

I have NO idea what is going on with Edmonton. Having said that, last year Edmonton started the same way and then went to the SCF.

Our / Canada's goaltending just keeps getting worse and worse.

There is no shortage of Canadians goalies in the NHL. However, none of them are very good.
