Over the summer, the Montreal Canadiens "rebuilt" their team.... which basically meant getting rid of the entire roster and replacing them with NEW and SHINIER OTHER players. And a new coach was hired. And then the general manage was replaced. Now, on the one hand, while I recognized that after their uninspiring season some changes were needed.... ( Read more... )

BWAH. *Pets you*

See, I knew I was right to think of hockey in terms of Doctor Who in order to ~understand your pain~.

The comparisons were oddly apt in this case. HOW DARE THESE PEOPLE WEAR THE CH UNIFORM. HOW DARE MATT SMITH GO AROUND WEARING TEN'S SUIT LIKE THAT. D:

Is Anaheim still the Mighty Ducks? I thought I'd heard that like, Disney was no longer affiliated with them so they're just the Ducks or something now. IDK if this is true. If so LOl what an even lamer name for a team. ...Fucking Anaheim.

lol that is all I have to add to this discussion

lol IDK, I never pay attention to what the Western American teams are doing.

Hmm, in the Koivu article, they only refer to them as the "Ducks" so maybe? One of us could wiki it.

You will forever hate them for trouncing Ottawa for the Cup that one time, won't you. I cannot hate a team that Saku Koivu plays for, alas.

lol I am too lazy. I think that's what happened though.

LOL, OBVIOUSLY. Come on it's Anaheim no one even cares. NO ONE EVEN CARES. It's like Canada losing to the US okay.

My favourite part of the Koivu article was him talking about how much easier it was to go out for dinner in Anaheim and the lack of pressure from the fans. It made me lol.

Hdu. The Ducks are amazing. Without the Ducks there would not be the work of cinematic genius known as The Mighty Ducks (and its two sequels) or the short lived Disney cartoon in which the players were actually ducks.

Although tbh, I am actually Team LA Kings.

Wasn't the NHL team named *after* the Disney movies? THIS DOES STAND RIGHT WITH ME, OK. HOCKEY IS A VERY SRS BSNS INSTITUTION.

What up. Apparently Montreal has beaten L.A. the last... like 12 times they've met. This is unusual for Montreal, so I am happy to take it! XD
