Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs

CURITIBA, BRAZIL — Puck the Bunny appears on AllHabs.net predicting outcomes of games from his home in the beautiful country of Brazil. Yes, an exotic prognosticating bunny! In 2011-’12, his first season as a member of the All Habs team, Puck’s record was an amazing 23-12-6!

Today he picks the winner of Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs.

With only 24 hours until the opening of the 2012-’13 NHL season, Puck has donned the business-wear for his first prediction (do you know how hard it is for a bunny to put on a tie?)  Who do you think looks better behind the NHL podium: Puck, the Bunny Commish or that stooge named Gary?

First, let’s update Puck’s viewers who have been asking about his condition via Twitter messages. After not one, but two Markov-like surgeries in the off-season, Puck’s knee is 100 per cent better. Puck used the period of the lockout for more than 30 physiotherapy sessions. He is happy to be back and was missing all his hockey friends.

During training camp this week, Puck suffered a little accident where he lost one of his nails. He lost a lot of blood, but the vet was able to stop the bleeding. He will need to take pain medication but has vowed to that won’t take him away from the game. In the words of Carey Price, “you’ll see me on Saturday.”  Just like his favorite goalie he will be ready to send some bunny luck to Habs tomorrow.

He hopes Habs end this season in a better position than the  last one. According to Puck the only good thing about last season was all the new rookie additions. He likes Alex Galcheyuk and would love to see him score a goal tomorrow.

Puck believes Mark Bergevin is already doing a great job and it won’t take long to Habs add another cup to their collection.

Puck wishes he could be at McLean’s Pub with all his friends for the All Habs Hockey Party. Go Habs Go!
