"The gunk"" strikes...again?

Hockey culture when it comes to gear is pretty goddamn stupid. I play with a guy who has gotten multiple staph infections from his gear and smells like a wet cat who got flushed in a dirty toilet, but he doesn't wash his gear because "washing gear is for pussies."

Meanwhile, I have a pair of gloves that I rotate in from 2002, that I air out and clean and smell at worst, like a dusty garage.

I played with a guy who left his gear in the trunk of his car all week between games, every week.
It was fucking disgusting. You could smell him coming down the hallway before he got into the room.
I can't imagine how horrible his car would have smelled

I haven't watched a single game of their run. Probably why they are in the Cup final.

Hossa had a good career, was a good guy and not the type of player that would get under your skin.

Interesting Trivia Alert:

3 teams have made the Stanley Cup final in their Inaugural Season. Each one exactly 50 years apart.

1918 Toronto Arenas
1968 St Louis Blues
2018 as Vegas Golden Knights

So the question is, when Quebec finally gets a team, will they wait til 2068 to ensure success?

Yikes. 5 years for a coach that has never coached in the NHL before?

His next huge move will be trading the rights to Tavares at the draft to the Leafs - just watch.

Rights to JT for Garrett Sparks. If JT signs with Toronto, the Islanders also get the Leafs first round pick in 2018.

I read a tweet saying the Louie Lams had already spoken with Tavares' people,
but was doing so on behalf of the Islanders. how does that work, as he doesn't work for them yet?

consulting gig, i guess. had his employment with the leafs even ended yet?
