I think it odd that since Bettman became commish of the NHL some 25+ years ago no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup.  |

We'll get our anwser when Bettman retires. During the Bettman time lapse, only the Toronto Maple Leafs and the current Winnipeg Jets hadn't reached the Stanley cup finals yet. Will one of these teams will be able to end the curse? |

I have the feeling then it won't be the last dumb trade. 
Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs future look more promising with their farm-team in the AHL, the Marlies who won the Calder Cup. Some Marlies players will play for the Leafs next season. |

Gotta feel bad for Galchenyuk. Easily the most talented player on the Habs roster in recent years, but one whose potential was entirely wasted by poor decision-making from above. For one, he should have spent at least his first pro season developing in the AHL. Second, being tossed around to third line and at wing when he was clearly a goal-scoring machine at center made no sense. Poor guy.
Domi, have fun with your new roller-coaster of a team. |

For Galchenyuk the trade might be a blessing in disguise as he can now join a team that has a better opportunity at a winning season than does the hapless habs, wonder what Subbin/Pelly and Lars Eller though of their trades. |

Every year a Canadian team doesn't win is a good year if you ask me. It's perpetually funny to see American teams dominate the Canadian teams even while full of Canadian players. If you were a hockey player, where would you rather live, some miserable iceberg up in Canada or Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, San Jose, Dallas, Tampa, etc.? I mean there's no comparison. I wouldn't accept any salary to play for a Canadian team. Even 10% more isn't worth it at all to pay Canadian taxes and live in Canada. No thanks!

It was a dumb comment. Bringing up Trump, however, when not applicable is also dumb. You countered low hanging fruit with low hanging fruit.
The swapping of Domi and Galchenyuk may prove beneficial for both. |

Got devoured by San Jose Sharks every time they met. They got psych out by Shark's victory, so it messed with Canadiens players' minds.
