Go Habs Go!

I like a lot of teams, fundamentaly I love the game and watch whoever is playing if I think it will be a good show. But I never cheered for another team, my city is Montreal and my heart is with the Canadiens. I’ve been following them since the late ‘60s, so yeah, I was lucky to watch the great teams that we had, and witnessed them write history.

Fun fact, I went through a few Habs jerseys in my life but, never bought one with a specific name or number on it, always blank or double zero.

The only exception is a jersey that Alex Kovalev himself gave me, it was a jersey that he wore, playing in the KHL, for the Ak Bars, Kazan, during the 2004-2005 NHL lockout.

He had just been traded to Montreal the year before. After the lockout, he came to visit our plan (Bombardier private jet) on several occasions and for some reason, he always stopped at my station to have a chat. Then on his last visit he brang the jersey, unfold it on my working table, sign it and shake hands, thanking me for my time. Very nice and kind gentleman.

And no, he didnt ordered a jet, couldnt afford it!

Former UConn star Tage Thompson, who just made the U.S. Olympic hockey team, has scored or assisted on all 4 of Buffalo's goals tonight (2 goals and 2 assists).

Wow Thompson completed the night with a hat trick and 2 assists for a 5 point night. A one man wrecking crew for Buffalo last night.

Awesome night for Tage Thompson. Sucks for the rankings, but it is what it is. Every point matters. So, so tight.....

Faudrait battre Buffalo ce soir. Et surveiller Tage Thompson!

Ça sera pas une facile comme la dernière contre le Wild!

Damn...ce serait pas pire de gagner contre nos poursuivants dans la division.

Boston samedi, faut se gâter.

Faut être réaliste, Buffalo est toute une équipe et, logiquement, devrait passer devant MTL au classement de l’est. Boston c’est beaucoup moins sûr.

The Sabres are playing great hockey right now but let’s be honest: they stole one from the habs last night. The habs outshot them 2 to 1 and dominated the last two periods. But it’s hard to come back three goals down against a hot team with a hot goalie! I’m starting to think that both the Leafs & Florida may end up missing the playoffs this season. Buffalo may squeeze in same thing for the Habs who are finally healthy. Every time the Leafs or Florida win the other teams in the Atlantic also win! As for the Sens it looks like another lost season mostly because of sub-par goaltending. Signing James Reimer is not the answer! Maybe it’s time for them to offer a 1st round to the Leafs or Habs for one of their three goaltenders!
