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!
