All our McManns end up in Seattle Or was Jared a McCann actually? All your Mc*anns are belong to us.

I look forward to them facing each other in the SC final

Tre and his guys should be overseas definitely. But not managing a hockey team. Not even one in the Alps hockey league or The DEL2.

Is Steeves coming back in one of the trades? 😀
