Roses are red. Violets are blue.
NHL teams really do love you.

Teams spread the love this Valentine's Day with spectacular player-themed cards they released on social media Sunday.
The Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled eight unique cards for Toronto fans to share with their valentine, including the Wayne Simmonds "I choo-choo-choose you" card that is a nod to the episode "I Love Lisa," from Season 4 of "The Simpsons."

The Florida Panthers likewise released punny cards with eight players, including "Wenn will you be mine" featuring forward Alexander Wennberg.

The St. Louis Blues created valentines for their fans, including an extra-special card with team dog Barclay.

The New York Rangers released four sharable player cards, featuring forward Alex Lafreniere, defensemen Anthony Bitetto and K'Andre Miller and goalie
Igor Shesterkin
.

The Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins each created cards that fans could download.

Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov shared the love for all the team's "Caniacs."

Last but certainly not least the Philadelphia Flyers mercurial mascot Gritty revealed, in a video posted to Twitter, that he is his own true love.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.
