Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 26” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

I don't care about what other teams/individuals from other teams are saying about the MTL Canadiens players. Especially John Cooper. As a MTL Canadian fan, hardcore fan. Other teams are the ennemy, and I don't give a damn about what the ennemy have to say, whether it is good or not. I see John Cooper's comment as a psychological trick with the aim of setting unlrealistic expectations and putting too much pressure on a team or a player. That coach should focus on his own team, not the other teams or players from the other teams. And that's the bottom line, cause I've said so!
Habs player has played 4 minutes a game,less 18 to 22 for Nathan that equals to 16 more games played by Nathan 😅
If he was a defensively sound option at 6 vs 5, Caufield would be on the ice and would get goals. I’m a CH fan and refuse this false controversy
Crazy Habs news !? Really ? For how long have you been following the NHL ? You still don't know that when teams are about to face each other in the series, they throw flowers by the truck load to each other.
Oh,thank Heavens,Cooper enlightened us !!!! Where would we be without his '' brilliant'' observation of my Habs! All I know is we are going to pummel them in the playoffs,(IF WE PLAY THEM IN 1ST ROUND)
Demidov. Calder.
In my opinion I believe that only goals scored against a goal tender should be counted when it comes to Trophies and statistics.
Look we love Cole, but the emphasis on McKinnon scoring more empty nights directly ties to him being one of the best 2 way forwards in the league. There is a reason Mac is on the ice protecting a lead while down a man and Cole is not. That said, Cole isn’t Mac and doesn’t need to be, the same way Mac isn’t Cole.
peoples will create new way to count stuff so the one they love win. a goal is a goal. may the one that put the more on the score board win.

If we can get Dem for the same type of contract as the rest of the core, then we'll be rolling. 🥐
Caufield is a sniper rifles the 🏒 puck lights up the score of board 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅 🥅
Ask Ovi how many Empty net goals hes got.
Oh and for the record. Mackinnons tied for second wirh eng's guees whos first and second 🙈
I can see Connor McDavid catching up and pass MacKinnon….ahhh maybe not…they both choke in big games …Caufield is the real deal…he's a sniper…Montreal is a team, when we defend at the end to have that open net, we use the approach to leave for the experts at that and faceoffs like Danault, Evans, as examples….we don't need guys that put pucks in the net, to block shots ….MacKinnon plays more minutes also….Him and Connor McDavid and a few of their elites like Makar and Draisatl, are hogs, that's not a team….that's why they lose in championships, even though the Avalanche won about 5 years ago, It surely wasn't because of choker MacKinnon…..they are lucky they got Kadri back to maybe win them another cup, since he dominated that championship last time !!!…but I doubt it, they gonna choke like the Olympics !!!..I'm the guy …I'm Nathan….choke choke !!!!….now we see how he wins a scoring race !!!…unethical way !!….It's okay, we all know !!!….Come on Cole….get a couple hat tricks !!!!
MacKinnon has 7 empty net goals but couldn't hit what was a wide open net gift-wrapped to him in the Olympic Gold Medal game. Yikes.
I agree that empty net goals should not be counted in the M.R. trophy rules. Demidov is such a nice player. Kutcherov or not, I just hope he develops in n the best verrsion of himself.
