After winning 3 straight games after the break @canadiens.com odds of making the playoffs have improved to 10.2 %. moneypuck.com/predictions....

Trump’s impact on Canadian polls. Amazing how quickly Canadians changed their minds from supporting Conservatives to Liberals.

Heading to Vancouver next week to visit my son who is in graduate school at UBC. He said they are boycotting restaurants and products that are American. He is a dual American Canadian citizen but when it comes to hockey and democracy the Canadian genes are dominant

Get ready for more headlines like this, courtesy of Trump and RFK Jr.

Listening to the @habsonreddit.bsky.social vs Canes on the flight back to SFO. Habs up 3-0 in 2nd period. So what are their odds of making a playoff spot if they win this one? 3%?

Some valuable CanJam NYC gifts that perfectly fit the dimensions of my suitcase on the flight home to California. Will work for wine.

@blainelacross.bsky.social explains @harman headphone research in terms of scientific discoveries in the Dark Ages.

Listening to a 1904 Edison Cylinder Phonograph at CanJam This sounds so much better than digital as there is no distorted staircase sound. Is it Live or Recorded? I can barely tell :)

@blainelacross.bsky.social and his shadow are explaining the variation in Moondrop Variation at CanJam 2025 NYC. Its FR varies with level.

About to land in Newark airport and Uber to Manhattan with the hope I can watch at least the last 2/3rds of the Canada USA hockey game

Another new headphone target curve by a company called GearLab www.techgearlab.com/expert-advic...

Montreal warned not to boo National Anthems. Hardly a boo heard. That’s an impressive anti- booing filter they have applied to the audio feed. Adaptive ANC?

USA players booed in Montreal especially Leafs player Austin Mathews
