If it becomes a tank season, it’s a big important game tonight
We have real centre depth. What a time to be alive!
They have Lindgren, Patches and Edmundson and they’re all hurt so none of them can kill us.
ANUS = PREPARED.
Hey guys. I’m in Ontario, near Toronto. What is the best streaming service I can use to watch canadiens games? The free sites I’ve been using have been choppy lately, but I hear a lot of the streaming services don’t have all the games?
Big Dick Nick comeback tonight
Im going at the game tonight. Hope to see a good show!
3 point night for armia, then he disappears for 35 games
I’ve watched a few of Washington’s games, their old guys all look kind washed to start the season (including Ovechkin), and you can see that reflected in their results.
Of course, that means Ovechkin will have a hat trick in this game.
I’ve got betting odds on whether its Monahan, Gallagher or Caufield who gets injured tonight. Take your shots folks. Early season special rates.
Hopefully more competitive than the wild game. Stay out of the fucking box
Big fan of Nick, but I really hope he has a good game tonight.
Even I can’t find any reason to defend his 3 first piss-poor games.
