This is the most clever post of the day for me.

But I'd change it to Juctin Faulk to make it more Canadian-er on Canada Day.

Keep him away from McDavid.

I remember that play. Everyone was raving about McDavid (granted, he's great and everything), but I was like WTF was that defender thinking? "I'll skate that way and fall. That'll confuse him. Derp."

Falk, Fudon, Franson? All of these F'ers are Sabre property.
