So How Do I Top That?

The night began around 5 PM as our VIA Train rolled into Central Station (my first time in Montreal since the Halak years). The city has grown in 7 years, thats for sure.  It's such a beautiful place.

We walked up Rene Levesque to our hotel, did a quick check in and then down the hill to the Bell Centre.  


The Bell Centre hot dogs were either on par or I was starving. With the new Coors Light / Canadian sponsorship I had forgotten the time honoured tradition of having a Molson Export while watching a Habs game, so naturally... draft too!



 Great to see someone from Belleville in the Bell Centre rafters....

 Here's a little pre game action:





The Habs grab the first lead of the hockey game:
My first in game tweet looked like this and it could have been repeated many times throughout the night...


Some thoughts on the first intermission after a pretty even first period of hockey in Montreal:





Shea Weber kinda went to town on JT Miller:




Again bashing Beaulieu with a retweet in game:




Didn't grab a video of the SECOND biggest moment of the night but did have time for a quick tweet:







The turtle neck comes through in the clutch and how about that Junior Hockey.

 And then the big moment came...









I didn't think anything could beat Game 2 of the Jays vs. Rangers game in 2015 but it only took a year and half for this to be the greatest sporting event I have ever attended.  

Some of the greatest sporting events I have attended have either been playoff losses, insignificant, or tournament losses.  Friday April 14th at the Bell Centre is a night I will never forget.

This Is It

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

Why Are 'Fans' Dictating a Culture of Losing?

If you don't want this, you suck. The NHL has been floating the idea of a 24 team playoff format. Under the proposed format, there would be some sort of play-in tournament for what would serve as the "real playoffs."   When I heard this as a life long Habs fan I was ecstatic, finally for the first time in 3 years we are going to get some semblance of playoff hockey in Montreal.  This is the best news to come out of sports in months! And then I took to Twitter and came across a bunch of alleged Habs fans who have grown up without ever seeing a Stanley Cup parade posting wild takes.  Tweets on tweets about not wanting to make the playoffs because we somehow don't deserve it. Are you kidding me? We didn't make up Corna rules, Corna rules are THE RULES! As if whoever wins the Stanley Cup will need an asterisk.  Every organization is on an even playing field with this thing.  If some players don't want to isolate and follow the rules and organizations have to us...
