After visiting #Montreal this fall and feeling the reverence that the city had for its hockey team I have adopted them as my Eastern Conference team to follow when the #MNWild aren’t playing- they are on #Hulu all the time- such a young dynamic resilient team that is so fun to cheer for #GoHabsGo 🏒
