Saw just the first line of your text at first and was like, "Oh, hell no." Then saw it's about the Victoire, not the Habs, and smiled. Because you've got our Hayley, and she's awesome and I've been cheering for the Victoire all season. This is awesome.

ALL-CANADIAN PWHL FINAL For the first time in PWHL history, two Canadian teams will compete for the Walter Cup after Montreal defeated Minnesota. Ottawa defeated Boston the other night. Marie-Philip Poulin scored the game-winning goal for Montreal tonight.
