Excellent. It was ridiculous that Bowman got snubbed last year. Just to remind everyone the NHL Network is broadcasting the tournament this year so there will be plenty of chances to watch both players.

Corey, me son – No Carey Price this time we meet so i’m wondering who you will jab about in your pre game this time around. Love your work and how is our little darling Samsonov.

Be fair … it wasn’t a jab. I’m actually just doing some research on Kovalev and have something planned on him. I’m sure Habs fans will agree.
