The monarch let the animal kingdom take center stage in celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th birthday. There are some people who become woven so deeply into the fabric of our lives that it is hard to remember a world without them. And for generations, Sir David Attenborough has been one of those rare figures. His voice has accompanied childhoods, Sunday evenings, family living rooms, and quiet moments of wonder before the natural world. Therefore, this week, as the beloved broadcaster celebrated his 100th birthday at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the tributes could easily have become overly grand or sentimental. Instead, the BBC and King Charles III chose something unexpectedly charming: a joyful little film in which the king’s birthday card to Sir David was delivered not by royal courier, but by animals themselves. The premise was delightfully absurd in the best possible way. Filmed at Balmoral in Scotland, the king is shown carefully writing a heartfelt card to his old friend, recalling that the pair first met back in 1958. “Over those decades you have revealed the beauty and wonders of nature to audiences around the world in new and marvelous ways,” the monarch wrote. But then disaster strikes. A fallen

For the first time in these playoffs, the Canadiens won a game that wasn’t a nail-biter. They cruised to a 5-1 victory in Game 2 over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night at KeyBank Center. Alex Newhook continued to make his mark in the postseason with two goals. Nick Suzuki now has goals in three consecutive games after scoring an empty-netter. Goaltender Jakub Dobes made 29 saves and had little patience for Sabre forward Zach Benson trying to get him off his game. Following a loss post-season, the rookie netminder has a perfect 4-0 Record, 1.49 goals against average and a .946 save percentage. Cole Caufield failed to light the lamp, but he was a post away in the third period from hitting the scoresheet. He stared in astonishment as the shot somehow stayed out of the net. Before we get to the highlights, were Newhook and his teammates amped in the dressing room before puck drop? They were. Newhook brought that same energy from the get-go, scoring on the game’s first shot at 1:36. Less than four minutes later, defenceman Mike Matheson broke a 16-game goalless drought in the playoffs to give the Habs a 2-0 lead. There was
