So excited for another Koivu jersey

Always enjoy Patrick’s take on Scandinavian players especially, but European generally.
Great show! Adam Enström FTW. I hope he is patient enough to wait for his chance with the Habs.
Development camp this year will be something else. A lot of competition.
Trivia answer – Cristobal Huet.
Is Engstrom the next Nick Lidstrom?
Patrik is a regular contributor on Habs Eyes on the Prize, the best writen (written ?) site about our Habs ! he has a weekly report on our European prospects . The comments section is amazing. Check it out !
