My Beautiful Hockey Team
What a beautiful Hockey Team I cheer for! Yes the Montreal Canadiens. They beat the lowly Boston Bruins tonite 8-2. Usually I am against these high scoring games cause they can get boring as I would rather see a 2-1 or 1-1 game with end to end action. But tonite's game was different in the fact that my favorite team was winning and winning well and the fact that it was Boston they beat! Yes the ol rivalry between Boston and the Habs is still there and I remember some good games from the 70's and 80's between these two. Especially the late 70 playoff series these two met in. Oh yeah, how many cups did Montreal win from 76-79. Wasn't it 4 in a row! Anyway I think that is where my dislike for the Bruins started. Don't get me wrong Boston had some good players along the way and spme classy guys like Bobby Orr, and my all time favorite- Canadian who should be Prime Minister-Don Cherry who was their coach in th elate 70's. Remember the too many men penalty in the 79 stanley cup playoffs and the video clip of that moment at the sart of caoche's corner?
So it was a good nite that the habs are back and got production from all 4 lines and Alex Kovalev is playing like he has a new lease on life. So looks like the Habs are going to be part of the playoff picture this year and I hope they can go along way.
Anyway "vivre les habs"
