Yeah, I'm not even going to get into this because that's a whole can of Marty St.

Louis complaining.

Yet hockey coverage is challenging in the U.S.

at times, except when it's the Olympics and it's on cable.

You don't need to have a Peacock subscription necessarily in order to watch games.

Yeah.

Anyway, maybe he'll be, maybe he's coming back from the break, really super prepared for the rest of the season.

Speaking of being back, on Tuesday, it was the Habs' first day, well, the NHL in general, Canadians resumed practices at Brassard.

And I think lots of fans were delighted to find out that Alex Newhook was practicing at,

Was he wearing a non-contact?

Was wearing a non-contact jersey.

So he's still, he's getting close.

Boy, if the Canadians learn anything, it's that the slightest thing that's

off kilter or out of whack at practice turns into front page headlines.

Patrick line had missed practice on Tuesday for the first day back.

You remember he had been skating with the team prior to the Olympic break.

And so then the Canadians announced after he misses practice on Tuesday, the Canadian has come out with an announcement that he's dealing with a lower body injury and he's going to be evaluated from day to day.

Well, boy, did that just blow up the Internet.

He's fine, really.
