He seems genuinely happy and excited to be playing for the wings. Should be a solid season. Even if we get bounced in the first round im excited to see a competitive team. Gunna get wild in the next few years with all the kids
Hey Jeff, his name is Kent Hughes! Kent Hughes! He bent over backwards and probably took less back to send you home. You could have at least given him a little more of a thank you than that. Classless punk.
Funny, growing up in Michigan but being away for decades, I thought, hey I knew another Petry watched him on the tele while he pitched for the Tigers back in the day… Now I know.
Jeff played an entire playoff run to the finals for us with a broken hand. Character guy. Wish the Habs had kept him, but it's a cool story. Habs have shown they will take care of their players.

All these happy to be here players should make for a high morale team at the least.

As a Habs fan, I want to thank Jeff Petry for his years with the Habs. Wish him all the best with Detroit. Classy guy and a true competitor.

Welcome home

Nice for Jeff! looks very happy
if Petry took his original #58 he'd be the first ever to wear it in Detroit

I was definitely a Jeff Petry fan in Montreal. I wish him and family nothing but the best. Thank you for the years you were in Montreal.
