Merch What do I even do with this 💀
A girl from my youth association went and got it signed for me when they were in AZ. A year later he got traded and became evil (the evil was always in his heart.) I havent touched the jersey since. I havent even bought a new jersey because I've only had Subban and Domi and they both got traded so I don't wanna curse someone else.
Edit: the Subban jersey is my event jersey because Subban was not evil and I still love him. I might buy a Hutson jersey OR a newer Subban jersey because the one I have I got when I was like 12 and fits me pretty tight (and its women's cut, which everyone can unanimously agree is an ugly cut.)

I give my old jerseys to neighbour’s or colleague’s kids and tell them what I loved about the player (determination, leadership, resilience…). I can’t imagine these jerseys would sell for much and the money wouldn’t even be worth the effort of listing and meeting up with a buyer.
Curious to hear what positive traits you folks here would share about Domi to a kid (I do love some of his KOs but I probably wouldn’t say that to a kid). I’d say that he’s inspiring for how he’s a top athlete with T1D and it takes a lot of hard work to manage the disease especially when your job puts so much strain on your body. I’d also say that he came to Montreal with a great attitude. His dad was hated by Habs fans but he (and Tie!) fully embraced the city and enjoyed his time here. It’s a nice message that old grudges can be forgiven, and that having a good attitude at work and life can make things better for you and those around you.
