THIS IS IT

I have never been to a game at the Bell Centre.  I have never been to an NHL playoff game....until tonight.

 Today I travel to Montreal for the first time in seven years almost to the day. The last time I was in the city a guy by the name of Halak was tearing up the playoffs.  

 I've attended a handful of Habs games over the years in Ottawa, mostly losses.  I can't even begin to imagine what tonight is going to be like.  For me as a Habs fan, and as a sports fan, tonight might be the greatest night of my life (if the Habs win).

 I'm so ready to experience the Bell Centre first hand during the playoffs.  Plus today is a holiday so fans have extra time to get rowdy before the game.

 Puck drops at 7:10...I drop in Montreal shortly before 5 PM.  

 Time to hit the road.

Where did a decade go? I remember this game, and basically being on my knees throughout most of it.  When Laich scores the late goal in the 3rd I almost hurled, and then on top of that we take a penalty! The ride Halak gave us in 2010 will never be matched!  41 saves in a Game 7! No idea how Sportsnet isn't airing this one tonight!?  I'm surprised they aren't airing random 2016 Blue Jays baseball games instead. I don't need 80s and 90s game all week.  Mix in some modern classics like this!

I can't believe I am about to blog this. I didn't think the day would come. Sure, after beating the Leafs in overtime Saturday night I briefly had hope that the season wasn't dead (season's still dead). Here we are though, Monday, February 10, 2020, and I'm taking the Montreal Canadiens as my lock of the night on the Moneyline over the Arizona Coyotes. Am I nuts?  Maybe. Do the Coyotes suck?  Yes.  Do the Habs suck, yes, but not lately. In a what have you done for me lately world I'm going with the Habs tonight.  Time to live and die with a team that is 6 points out of a playoff spot with two months to go.
