São Paulo, BR. — Puck the Bunny is the newest, and the cutest, All Habs team member. After an intensive recruiting process, conducted by consultant Pierre Boivin, in which no stone was left unturned, Puck was hired to provide fans with his prediction of the outcomes of Montreal Canadiens’ games. Asked what was the most important characteristic in hiring for this position, Boivin said “We like our prognosticators furry. Works for the groundhogs, doesn’t it?”
Puck correctly predicted what should have been the outcome of the Canucks vs. Canadiens game on Thursday: a Habs win. Unfortunately there was no way of knowing that Montreal would suffer a monumental collapse after taking a 3-0 lead with Vancouver scoring four unanswered goals for a shootout win.

Name: Puck, the Bunny.
Date of birth: May 17, 2011

Why the name: First, because his human likes hockey, and second, because when he arrived at only 45 days old, he could not stand alone and slipped on the wooden floor as a puck! Much like the scene here.
What time do you wake up?
Well… I usually wake my human up at 5 am!
What are your favorite hobbies, Puck?
Eat my human’s shoes, furniture, teddy bears, cables and wires. Oh! I also like to play cards, explore the house, jump on my human’s bed, play with my plush friends, watch Canadiens’ games. My job at the current time, is predicting the games!
How did you become a fan of the Canadiens?
Influenced by my human, Louise, she gave me my first jersey when I was a baby.

Carey Price! Because he ‘saves the puck’, the other players ‘hit the puck.’
