It says something when an NHL team buys an entire amateur league to get access to one player!

Turning down the position of Canada's Governor General was pure class.

The Bell Centre will be a strange place tonight. The Habs are playing at home.

“People can see the reindeer and Santa checks on them on camera at 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. He has a sleigh parked there too.”
