Last night’s loss by the Canadiens almost killed me. Watching Montreal completely outplay Florida for 58 minutes and then give up the tying goal with 10 seconds left, finally losing the game on the last shot of the shootout…it was almost too much to bear.

After the game Alex Kovalev couldn’t hide his displeasure with coach Guy Carbonneau, re-igniting rumours of Kovalev’s imminent trade to Calgary. Keep it up, Kovalev, sez I.

Key strategic takeaways from today:

• Esquire has a good article about the upcoming (probably) war with Iran
• Anakin Skywalker blew a mean harp
• The Matador will remain open after all. Rejoice, Torontonians; you’ll still be able to buy whiskey from a duffle bag and dance to bad country music while stepping over freshman puke.
• Stephen Colbert: next American president.
• Torontoist had a good feature about the corner of Church & Front, my favourite part of the city.

There will be a quiz next month.
