Habs Goalie Gets white Hoouse Support

Were this the first day of April, I'd hold back on posting this, but the calendar has been checked and the sources too, so I'm running with it. Word from the White House is Halak is awesome and deserves a new long-term contract. Seriously.

The U.S. ambassador to Canada, David Jacobson, chatted about hockey during a speech in Montreal today and he saluted the Habs' surprising playoff run. The White House envoy also joked that, with his limited French, he understood the word "Halak" to mean "gigantic contract."

Carey Price could not be reached for comment but word is his agent is considering switching his allegiance to the Republican party.
