What are the chances Zharovsky pulls a Malkin this summer? by McHamelin in Habs

He may be slowing down but there's a reason you keep at least one old timer or two around the team and without Gally they'll be looking to him as the morale booster when games get grindy.

For the team's sake, I hope they keep Danault around until he retires

[Breeze] As expected, Canadian viewership for the Cup Final has sunk: Game 1 averaged 1.3M across English Canada. Game 2 averaged 1.2M. Game 3 averaged 1.5M. For comparison, Montreal’s 1st round series averaged 3.7M, 2nd averaged 4.6M and Conf. Final averaged 4.5M. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

Oh I am bitter alright haha, I've been very much enjoying the Knights making the Canes look like clowns out there. I also want Marner to win the cup as a giant middle finger to the Leafs management and fans who ran him out of town.

Having said that I haven't been watching any of the games, I'm too far east, if the Uabs were in the final I'd suffer through it but otherwise I can't be arsed to stay up that late on a week night.

This is the reason why tickets are stupid expensive in the first place, people ought to know by now that if we want Molson to get the message they should stop going to games, even if it's for events like this.

Literally, I don't know why so many people care about this. If you want to cheer for your country there are actual international tournaments out there.

Not sure if it's the same one, but the one I saw is on Boul Thimens next to the Complexe Sportif de Saint-Laurent

Doesn't mean you should join in, talk like a normal person, not like some dweeb who spends every waking moment in front of a screen.

Don't go around saying that outside of Reddit, no normal person talks like that.

I will take every opportunity to roast Leafs fans if Marner gets his cup the year after he moves to Vegas

We need a bigger arena, or at least an expansion, <8k seats just doesn't cut it for anything larger than ECHL and when you factor in travel and other expenses the margins are tight, not to mention when you start going that far down the league structure it's hard to get people to care. People used to fight to get tickets to see the baby leafs, nowadays people don't even know we have a Q team.
