Big Wood is, uh, big. And friendly!


As there continues to be no news whatsoever to report beyond the ever-popular "no news to report" story, we present another episode of Morning Skate theatre. Here we have the HMCS Hal Gill behind the scenes of his first visit to the Habs, at what looks to be their practice facility. He plays the role of the friendly giant who's "just like us" well. Look, he drinks coffee! He plays with the kiddies! He struggles to say two words in French!

And he's clearly a full head taller than everyone he meets. He's gonna make a hell of a pylon in front of TFS.

    Actually, that's 5 words.

    The " c'" counts as one word on its own. I know, its stupid, French language is crazy that way!

    merci = thank you, so can we consider that as 2 words?

    @ hf10, we might start calling the very tall Gill L'Arche de Triumph.

    Pretty sure I caught a faint soixante in there before the quinze as well...was a little thrown by the "I haven't been on the ice since we won the cup" comment.

    @moeman: love the new name!

    There was definitely a "soixante" in there. He just mispronounced "quinze" and had to repeat that part...

    The french media will like him more than Koivu already!

    The whole "HMCS" thing would be so much less awkward if he wasn't actually American (it was why "USS" worked so well!). Silly NHL minorities.

    So wearing a Union Jack shirt in Kay-bec is OK as long as you make the token effort? :) or at least preferred to any form of une feuille d'erable?

    So the big lumbering pylon's slapshots actually hit the net? Awesome, he really is an upgrade on Doucharek.
