With the Habs 1 win away from making it to the conference final, it's the perfect time to grab a copy of Habs Nation: A People's History of the Montreal Canadiens. I just got another box of books from my publisher, so if you want a signed copy, let me know. Or order it online.

This is fraught with false & misleading statements 🧵
