  1. One day I’ll organize a charity event with Habs legends like Kovalchuk, Perry, Semin, Vanek, Gonchar, Radulov, Hemsky, Frolik, Perreault and Hammond

  2. I’ll never forget him absolutely toying with his kids on an outdoor rink in Verdun in Habs gear. It was glorious !

  3. After playing a majority of your career in Atlanta imagine what the bell center felt like for him ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

  4. usually these dates make me feel old, but this time im thinking “that was *only* 4 years ago!?”

    longest 4 years, i swear

  5. this is just 4 years ago? jesus… AND forgot we had him, but if we did, it was wayyy longer than 4 years ago….

  6. I’m old. I still have memories of watching the 86 cup. I also live in Newfoundland, so getting to a game isn’t exactly easy.

    I was in the building for this game, and in all my years of fandom, it was the first time I’d ever seen them play live. We had great seats. I will never forget the sound of that rink when Suzuki missed and Kovalchuk scored.

  7. Pointed at his kid in the stands right after the goal who celebrated his birthday too. What a moment!

  8. Man, my friend was at this game and I’m still envious of him, this would’ve been crazy to watch in person. What a time to be alive lol

  9. This goal was pure class in a different way. It felt so good to beat a rival in a middling season. The passion Kovi had for the short while he was here was absolutely amazing.
