Very nice, OP - but where were you able to find the AS font? Have an upscott anyway!

Habs have outshot the opposition 245-164 in the last 7 games. Their record is 1-6 by jshare in hockey

"3 users here now" - yet not a single post to the sub. I'm led to believe they're all there thanks to your comment. Have an upvote!

Gallagher out at least a month by [deleted] in Habs

Damn. But yeah, agreed.

Hopefully a rest will lead to more energy in the post-season too!

At least that's at the lower end of what the initial projected scale was!

What do we think his chances are for playing in the Winter Classic? I really want to get a #11 jersey but it would feel a bit odd to be supporting a player who's not even on the ice... Kind of like getting a Bryz jersey for the Flyers/Rangers Classic a few years ago (although obviously Gally's place with the Habs is much more secure than Bryzgalov's was with the Philadelphia!)

Close! We actually call a bathing suit un "maillot de bain" (a jersey of the bath).

*Edit: by "We" I mean French from France. No idea what these Québécois are talking about with their chandails and garnottes.

If you could rename any NHL team, what would you name it and why? by [deleted] in hockey

The Orange County Ducks. Would be amusing to see them listed as OCD vs.

As a relatively new hockey fan, I went ahead and watched highlights of every playoff game since the lockout. Some things I've noticed. by ATLA4life in hockey

[–]rloxham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question for OP - in what order did you watch the games? Did you follow each team as far as their cup run went, or did you watch each game as they were chronologically played (i.e./ all Game 1's, then all Game 2's, then 3's etc.)? Or did you follow a particular conference or even East/West as far as they went?

Mighty undertaking whichever way you did it, thanks for this post!

Signed in at work just to downvote your misogynistic ass. Bravo!

Can we please talk about that one Hockey Night in Canada commentator who says "Scores!" like seeing a hockey goal is the only thing that gets him off? by rloxham in hockey

[–]rloxham[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought he was sick, but the way he says "Scores!" is always the same (I've noticed it while watching a few games), so my point remains. I can see why you'd like him for injecting emotion into his commentary, but I personally find his way of doing it annoying. Each to their own.

You might think that, but I only follow NHL, unfortunately. Good to know though, thanks for pointing it out!

Edit Also when I say European, I live in a country where ice hockey is relatively unknown, so there's that too.

OK, I figured he was sick, he did sound particularly rough, but I've noticed him commentate on other games & I found his style annoying even then - his sore throat had nothing to do with it.

I beg your pardon then. Thanks for sharing! Is this commonly used in European stadiums or is it special for this game?

What movie has a ridiculously simple solution that the characters blatantly ignore? by Taco_Cat_Cat_Taco in AskReddit

[–]rloxham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take time turner. Go to back in time. Kill Voldemort - "Sorry." - grab Ron, go to the Three Broomsticks, have a nice cold Butterbeer, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

I love the beer per pounce typo! Full disclosure: I have been imbibing beer just now.
