This team confuses me. Canadiens 5 Bruins 1

Before the game last night, Montrealers were expecting the worse. The formula was a recipe for disaster.

A) Play for the second night in the row after getting spanked 6-2.

B) Playing the Boston Bruins, our bitter rival who would love nothing more than to ruin the Canadiens' 100th Birthday Party

C) Having a 2 hour pre-game ceremony that would surely take all intensity away from the Canadiens.

During the incredible opening of the ceremony, where Habs legends of the past skated in full unifrom and took shots on fully padded Patrick Roy and Ken Dryden, I made some jokes that we would probably be better off with this version of aged legends instead of our regular team, and hell, Yvan Cournoyer still has some mad wheels! I even went as far as shouting out "Play him instead of Bergeron!" When Emile "Butch" Bouchard came out to retire his #3. Yes, I believed that a 90 year old in a wheelchair would fare better than our current blue liners.

But then the game started. And once the second rolled around, I was more bewildered then ol' George Dubya in a chess game.
I am ecsatic about the way the team played last night, but I do not understand why they cannot put this effort in every game. They are professionals, it is their job to be good at Hockey. You wouldn't pay the guy who mows your lawn $7 M a year just because his name is also Gomez.

I hope the Canadiens can ride the momentum of finally being freed from the painfully long Centennial Celebrations and not feel like they are inmates just because those retarded Babershop Jerseys look like Prison garbs.

I'm happy. But I'm sure as hell that all the analysts were more shocked last night then when Brendan Burke came out.

And in all seriousness, if his Dad wanted to show he was tolerant towards Gay people, why on earth did he trade Jiri Tlusty?

Pops to Coach Obrand for that good one.

Great game boys, keep it up.

ALMOST PERFECT! Isles 1 Canadiens 5

Yeah... this picture will probably send me to hell...

But I'm in too good of a mood to be bothered by Satan's fiery Kingdom right about now.

WOW!

Yes I know that was against a team who only won their first game last night, and it is early in the season and we still have a sub-.500 record... But you have to to like the effort the Canadiens put in tonight.

Outshooting the opponent? Check.

Scoring more than 2 goals? Checkilicous.

Powerplay scoring? Wow, really? Check!

Goaltending? Well minus a personal gaffe from Jaro behind the net, it's a big fat CHECK.

Marc Andre Bergeron scored a goal, this is the same guy who dropped his stick last night... it did not break, it did not get caught on anything... he just... dropped it. Like those cute little termite players. Yes, I am comparing Marc Andre Bergeron to a termite player, a termite player who carries around a Rocket Launcher. Damn was that shot hard.

Does this mean we are a new team and should annihilate the Rangers on Saturday?

HELL NO, WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE YOU SNORTING?

It does mean we have some brand new confidence. And maybe Carey Price will be inspired by his fellow net minder to put in a stellar performance.

Great win, gotta love those midgets.

Peace true believers,

DO YOU HAVE ANYMORE GUM? HABS 5 ISLES 1

KOVALEV IS BETTAH! HE MAKES ALL THE NICE MOVES AND HAS NICE HAIR!

NOOOO TANGUAY IS BETTAH! HE IS A PLAYMAKER WITH A ROCKET FOR A SHOT

OH REALLY FOOL!

STOP LOOKING AT ME BRISEBOIS!!!!!

Just thought I would do that. Considering much like William Madison, the Canadiens have gone back to basics and have redeemed themselves and deserve to make the Playoffs instead of Eirc..I mean the Panthers.

Did you see those guys jersey's?

Yeah they were weird lookin'...

Now we're in a great position and gaining on the other teams in the East aaaand the Rangers lost today and we are officially in 7th.

WHO RULES?

O'BYRNE RULES!

O'BYRNE RULES!

O'BYRNE RULES!

Even though he hasn't played in a month...

I truly believe that if we keep this up we can get to 4th place.

Hey Eastern Conference:

NOW YOU'RE ALL IN BIG BIG TROUBLE.

Peace True Believers,
