The uniform immediately makes me see red. It’s funny because I love the old expos hat. Must be the Andre Dawson effect.
That raises a great question -- what is the greatest disparity between like and hate of teams that play (or played) in the same city? It just might be Expos/Canadiens.

Espo looked like a mob boss at his jersey retirement ceremony. More Gotti than Gotti himself.

I don’t hate the Flyers, but I HATE the Eagles

edit: although, I didn’t like them too much in 2010, but 2011 was sweet

I like this game. Another candidate may be: don’t despise the Brooklyn Nets, but of course…. HATE the Yankees

Shoot it Pasta. What is the deal with this deference to passing with him? Someone needs to tell him to be way more selfish.
Its in his head. He probably had some kind of injury over the summer and couldn’t train like he wanted to, and now he feels like his shot isn’t there.

Solid choice. LA deserves some attention here: I despise the Lakers, like the Dodgers (Dave Roberts & Mookie), and feel pure indifference toward every other LA team.

Other than the obvious goal, what did Sway do wrong there? He was in position, sealed the ice, was tight. ‍♂
I’ve seen the replay three times now and I don’t know how it went in.

It leaked 5 hole. $8.25 million AAV goalies shouldn’t have a leaky 5 hole.

If a goalie is in a butterfly like that the 5 hole should never be open, and if it cracks the paddle should be there anyways

Koepke scores the empty netter and you can visibly see him say “fuck me” when he sees McAvoy and realizes he didn’t see him for the hat trick.

Montreal has fallen so far that I will root for them just to be above .500.

How have they fallen so far ?
The short version is they were run into the ground by the previous regime. The new one opted for total tear down and rebuild. It takes a long time to do that in the NHL since draft picks can take year to develop.

Do love the reverse ref homage of not calling blatant too many men against the canadiens early on.

edit - extremely generous "neighborhood" of the bench call
