    - He’s messing with you. Sweater is the old name for a hockey jersey. -- nm - spamlet Jun 1, 09:46 1
      - Still the more common term up here. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 09:54
    - Meaning we call them a sweater -- (link) - Reagen Jun 1, 09:46 [youtube] 1

        I was definitely trying to channel a little Kate Monster during one of my line readings in Grocery: the Musical -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 09:54

  - :-D -- nm - mud Jun 1, 08:57
- but aren't you a Habs fan? That's just straight up 'vanquishing your enemies'. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 08:47 5
  - Only Toronto thinks that Montreal sees Toronto as their "enemies". Montreal has a much greater hatred of Boston. The Leafs are non-entities. -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 08:56 2
    - I'm not even talking "two great rivals". Either they went on or you did. You did, so be happy! -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 08:59
    - I'll disagree there for fans anyway. So many Leafs fans around and they get covered soooooo much by the sports channels up here to the exclusion - Beaker Jun 1, 08:58
  - I like the FB posts I'm seeing with every single TSN/Sportsnet/espn/etc expert picking the Leafs victory - Beaker Jun 1, 08:52 1
