Nothing but respect for
@CanadiensMTL
player, coach, and staff member. What a series. The future is so bright. Every Hab fan should be excited for what’s to come.
Stammer should go down as one of the best captains to play. In conversation with Yzerman’s, Messier’s, Sakic’s. Pure goal scorer, underrated playmaker, physical, good face off guy, and plays the right way. Fun to watch.
I have to say it takes a true warrior to come out and ask for help.
@CP0031
is one of my all time favorite teammates and people I’ve played with. Proud of him and what he’s doing. Hall of Famer on and off the ice. 🙏🏼❤️
After being sober for 2.5 years and battling my struggles for so long before getting help it was amazing to see how powerful it was to see Robin Lehner go up on that stage and share his story and message. Good on him and the

Nate Thompson sat down with

to discuss his former alcohol and drug addiction, and how he's learned to cherish those around him and his second chance in life and hockey.
This being my 3rd trade in three years has made this day has been a lot tougher than I thought. I’ve built so many great relationships on and off the ice that this really has felt like home. First off, I want thank…

The Tampa Bay Lightning will have this stain on the organization forever. Successful or not next season it’s still a huge mistake. Lost a captain and one that produces. That’s all on the surface, not even mentioning his off ice impact which is bigger. Smashville is laughing now
5 years and so grateful for the peace and happiness that I’ve found in my life one day at a time. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey and have helped me along the way. Never alone so thank you to everyone 🙏🏼

A lot of people struggle opening up, and there are days when I still do, but I’m glad and lucky to have a platform to share about my own personal battle with addiction and help others feel less alone in the process.

Day! Let’s keep the conversation going.
From the time I was 4 until 38 hockey has been my life and best friend. I’m beyond grateful and thankful for all the great people I’ve met and friendships I’ve made. All good things must come to an end so thank you to all who supported me along this journey.✌🏼❤️
The helmet rule needs to go. You shouldn’t have to put your helmet on during the play or skate off the ice. Both options take you out of the play with how fast our game is. Players are good enough to play without a helmet for the remainder of there shift. It’s hockey
I can’t thank

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Bryant Family and others involved in this tragedy. Kobe was an icon and someone I looked to for inspiration as an athlete. Thank you 🙏🏼

This year has been extremely difficult for everyone & today is a special day to reflect & remember that you’re never alone. I’ve had my struggles & I still do but I’ve learned to talk about it. Talking could help someone else like it did for me. It’s bigger than us

Tough time for players and families during

Was traded 3 years in a row around trade deadline. Exciting as it is it’s not easy . Have to remember these guys are human and have families.

Félicitations à Nate Thompson pour une remarquable carrière de 15 ans dans la LNH. Nous te souhaitons que le meilleur pour ta retraite, Oncle Nate! 👏
Congrats to
@NateThompson44
on a fantastic 15-year NHL career. Wishing you all the best in retirement, Uncle Nate!
If you were a Red Wings or Avalanche fan in the 90’s UNRIVALED on
@espn
is absolutely incredible to watch. I was a die hard Wings fan and now seeing it from both perspectives is amazing. That was must watch hockey and will never forget that time. Enjoy 🙌🏼
And to add to my last post it’s a really big disappointment for the fans of Tampa. They’ve watched this guy grow up in front of them and bring them two Stanley cups. This one will sting for a long time Bolts fans.
Thanks to all family, friends, coaches, and everyone who has supported me along the way. It’s an honor to play 700 games in the NHL and to do it in a Habs jersey. 🔵⚪️🔴

This October,
@NateThompson44
skated in his 700th NHL game, celebrated a birthday, and three years of being sober – all within six days.
He takes a moment to reflect on the journey and milestone that means the most to him 👉
Bruce Boudreau is a great person and the ultimate passion and love for hockey. I was lucky enough to play for Bruce for 2 years. I don’t think I’ll ever end up playing or working for the Vancouver Canucks but I think probably not the best way to handle it with Bruce.
On aurait pas pu mieux dire. Content que tu sois de retour à Montréal,
@NateThompson44
!
These two fans said it best. Glad to have you back in Montreal, Nate!

Five years ago, I realized I struggle with alcoholism, and today, I’m celebrating five years sober 🙏. Grateful for another day. Call a friend if you’re struggling. They’re there.
This young lady - Coco - completed her final chemo treatment yesterday. On the drive home from the hospital friends in the neighborhood surprised her with a parade — social distancing style.

Stamkos with his 8th playoff goal in 17th game. 7 even strength. He’s been a force all playoffs long. Stamkos will get his 500th career goal, 500th assist and 1,000th point next regular season. If he plays 78 games he’ll also play in his 1,000th game. That’s a lot.

Good on you Justin! Takes a lot of courage to identify and get help. From one recovering alcoholic to another, WE got you. Hang in there one day at a time my man.
Been waiting a long time to send these tweets, as I’ve been eager to share this loud and clear: Hi, my name is Justin Bourne, and I’m an alcoholic. I’m in a good place now, but yeah … it’s been a journey. 🧵
