Jesus. Another team?

 

[Kakkle]

Matthews a lock for the HHOF

 

[damochandler]

Is everyone just buying the NHL Tv premium package or the normal package?

 

[Agent93]

Screw the footy off season. First game hat-trick? Unreal.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Your move Patrick.

 

[PalaceGun]

No better example of a moving traffic cone than Phaneuf on the Matthews' hattrick goal. The guy is getting worse at quite a rate of knots.

 

[Bradesmaen]

4 goals on debut.. 4 goals. Take that Connor.

 

[Kakkle]

4 goals with a period to play

And at the end of this season when Michalek and Greening go quietly into the night we're done with Phaneuf's legacy. Thanks Sens!
