Well yea it pretty much is due to the love of hockey, a town called little Canada, and overall the weather and the accents.

Emerson Etem had his first AHL game tonight...
He scored the GWG to get Syracuse into the playoffs.

Bitches love draft picks.
We'll get, what, Nr16? Not too bad.
:lol perfect.
I gotta say, as shitty as it has been with the Habs out of the playoffs, it's pretty damn enjoyable watching the Pens sinking like they are, as well as Tabris bitter tears who will soon join us, and we get a great draft pick.

Perfect. May as well be me in that Jets jersey there, as his reaction in the commercial was basically akin to my own.
Not looking forward to potentially losing some of the players I like on the Jets this summer, but... whatever happens, will happen I guess. Will watch some of that IIHF hockey coming up to keep tabs on Slater on the U.S. side with Kane and Ladd on Canada.
At least the playoffs have been fun to watch this year. Even if my team is not in it.
I really, really don't want to lose Slater.

It's stuff like that above that makes me agree with you 100%. I want to get his name and number on my jersey not only because he's exactly the type of player I like, but he is such a class act and has nothing but positive things to say about Winnipeg and Atlanta. As someone who has been with the organization his entire NHL career, he has that right to say such things moreso than anyone.
I've met him a few times out and about the city and he is super nice to fans as well. I think he wants to stay anyway from the looks and sounds of it, and the guys in charge would be insane to not resign him after how well he has been received this year, in addition to his excellent performance on the ice.
Can't you guys just get rid of Ladd and let Chicago have him back?? We'll give you Oduya back in return!!!
I've always been a fan of players with strong work ethics, which is why I want them to get Galchenyuk, I hope Timmins wants him over Grigorenko too.

You want Tallon back too?
You want Tallon back too?
Yes.
Yeah, I think most of Habs Age has shifted to Galchenyuk Hopefully Timmins is on that wavelength too.
Lol saw that the other day. What can I say? Looks like Bobby Ryan is good at handling pussy.
I was listening to Primetime Sports and they were talking about goalies in the playoffs and Canada's goalie situation for the next olympics. They asked Healy who would most like be Canada's goalie and he mentioned Price. The host immediately started laughing. I wish I could punched them through the radio.
Bobby Ryan is a badass.

I think we're boned. No Lundqvist, no Miller, no Thomas, no Rinne.
Not sure who I would trust.
After watching these playoffs...not Fleury...
It has to be Price unless he has an epic collapse in the next couple years, both Fleury and Luongo have buckled under pressure. I also read a stat a while back that Price has had the best save % and GAA for a goalie on a bottom conference team, aside from Vokoun. If it wasn't for him we would have been chasing Columbus for #1 and this is with one of our weakest D corps we've had in years. Also Galchenyuk is definitely Timmins kind of player, he always goes for the hard worker type personality players. I have a hard time seeing him pick Grigs who has a lazy reputation unless he truly sees some amazing potential in him.

While Oduya's epic mustache will be missed, I (and anyone with any common sense) want Ladd to stay here for the rest of his NHL career. He does it all. Great Captain and leads by example. There is no one in the league that I'd trade him for. He's a real great example of how other players should model their attitudes after. Ladd is locked into a nice contract with us anyway for the near future, so he's not a concern for me in terms of losing an essential piece of our team.
As much as I do not care for Evander Kane's attitude that I have seen off the ice, I do hope he stays with the team, as his skills, while still in need of polish, are certainly worth keeping. Pavelec is also a no-brainer for them to re-sign. What will come, will come, I guess.
I hope the Hawks can kill off the Jets 1.0 in their round though!
What do you mean by "we", when you list goalies of multiple nationalities?
I like how it's the same Panthers goal sound they use on it, not that it's a unique sound or anything.
Yep. In the show they were also saying Price hasn't done anything. I know its not the NHL, but winning the World Juniors and being an all-star should count for something.

Price or Ward are the best we have IMHO

So, we let in ten goals.
What's up guys.

For sure, it all depends on how much either progresses / digresses in the next couple years, and if Ward remains as the main goalie for Canada in the WC he has a great chance to show what he has. I don't know how any international coach can be confident in Lou or Fleury with the way they have played in big games the past few years.
You do realise that Luongo won a gold medal in 2010, right?
Also, Luongo played extremely well last regular season AND last postseason, aside from a few games. He also played really well these first two games... the team in front of him just sucked.NOT YET
I wouldn't bother trying to make a case for Luongo. With the amount of ink he gets, people can't help but see him as some sort of cancer. But I'd sooner trust him in net than Ward or Price or whoever. But it's a meaingless conversation. The Olympics are two years away.
Detractors say that Canada won "despite" Luongo, which I can't understand. Luongo had a .927% over his 5 games and had some game savers in the biggest games. He was great.You do realise that Luongo won a gold medal in 2010, right?

We as in Canada going up against elite goalies capable of stealing games.
Not sure if we have a totally dominate Canadian goalie right now.

While Luongo has been forever ruined in my eyes after the amount of goals he let in last years' playoffs (Yes, I am aware the team in front of him hung him out to dry, see any number of Jets/Pens games this past season for more examples of goalie abandonment.) Luongo WAS extremely solid in my eyes during the last Olympics. He'd still be a viable choice in my eyes for the Olympics.
But it's still early to tell for such things. That being said, I really look forward to the Olympics and the hockey that will result. Last time was just so intense and entertaining to watch.

From Mike Cammalleri's twitter:
Nice sentiment.
Just received a hand written letter from Geoff Molson and my jersey from last game as a hab. Much appreciated thank you. Merci
Nice sentiment.
Doubly hilarious/awseome after the Gauthier/Cammy/jersey fiasco, which was fucking shameful on Gauthier's part. Fucking love Molson for being a class act like this.
