Slaf and Ivan showing up to first day of 2025-2026 training camp, ready to clap bombs and f*** moms

Jagr's quarter zip sweater is so cool.

I'm trying to find one as fresh.

It's great to have these players that just ooze personality like Slaf, Arber (not you Suzuki), Caufield and the team lets them shine a bit in the media. Are all these dark years really behind us? It's enough to make a grown man cry

It takes all types. Suzuki's humility is a good counter balance for Caufield's exuberance. I feel like Dach is also pretty laid back and doesn't take himself too seriously.

I absolutely love whoever said he's an elite athlete who happens to play hockey. There's so much to like about his raw talent and athleticism, but it is pretty amazing that he also is mature, confident, humble, and evidently patient with himself, open to criticism/feedback, strategic on and off the ice. You just know he's wearing an A on his jersey (though it will be beside a f***ing advertisement.....:mad:)

He still has this teenage smile and laugh and I hope he'll keep those, but his stare while he's listening to journalists' questions has changed since he was drafted. He has a "resting intense face" now (some others have a resting b**ch face)

It's funny how despite everything that has happened to him in the last 3 years, he's still at his core just a big goofy kid. That's a very Jagr-esque trait and I legit believe that played a big part in how long of a career he ended up having. Here's hoping its the same for our boy :thumbu:

It used to be worse than this. There was a clip posted a few years ago where panelists on this show has really degrading conversations about woman between takes

I wish the current rebuild could somehow also apply to the media covering Habs

Yes, mainly the English speaking interviews. It's just a language and cultural thing.

Quebecois banter is different from Anglo banter, the humor is different so it comes off a bit strained in english.
