How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?

Hi, my name is Menachem Kurkus,  and I’m originally from Montreal, Quebec .
I moved to Israel with my family. Unfortunately you cannot find Habs equipment around here. So what I do is buy stuff on NHL.com and they ship it to my cousin who ships it to me.
Anyway, I’ve never been to a Habs game but that surely is my dream.
I am a full-season member on NHL gamecentre live and try to catch as many games possible. I also registered to a channel that airs from Montreal to Israel I can't wait to get it installed.
As you see I can't speak well English BUT AS ALWAYS, I SAY
GO HABS GO
I love my hometown, my team and my childhood from the middle east.
