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.

We shall see what happens. Can Latendresse wake the fuck up against his former french team? Apparently Michalek admitted he isnt playing at 100% so thats not good. How do I think this series plays out? I think Ottawa has a very balanced and sizeable defence and that they will be able to control the Habs small forwards. I think the Senators forwards will need to get some ugly goals and Price and then protect leads the rest of the way. Its gonna come down to special teams really. Both teams struggling a bit on the PP recently and advanced stats suggest that the Senators league best PK is the result of good luck while the Habs shitty PK is the result of bad luck. We shall see. Habs draw alot of p...

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.
