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.

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

Last week the NHL launched its 2012 NHL promos for this years playoffs. The last couple of seasons we have been blessed by the "History Will Be Made" ads.  They were both awesome, and led to many parodies on Youtube and across the internet. The new "Because It's The Cup" ads haven't been garnering such positive reviews.  You can watch a sample "Because It's The Cup" ad by clicking here . What these new ads need is a little humour.  The NHL needs to poke fun at itself once in awhile, and I've compiled a list of HONEST "Because It's The Cup" ads the NHL could use: - "Because It's The Cup.......high sticking will not be called in crucial games, giving the best player in the world a chance in the finals." - "Because It's The Cup.....we've divided all regular season suspensions by four.  If you want to go all Chris Simon on someone, this is your chance." - Because It's The Cup......th...
