It's almost January 1st, so I am jumping on the Top 10 bandwagon!! This will be a welcome distraction from the language debate that has once again gripped our city. I will try not to be 100% Habs-Centric, but don't be surprised if 5 of the 10 focus on the Habs.
Great win after what seemed like the longest All-Star break EVER! I am not a fan of the All-Star game, barely watched the skills competition and only made through 15 minutes of the actual game, so it was a long week for me without hockey. A lot of good things last night, and some really terrible things as well. Firstly, when Price let in that softie 2:00 into the first, I thought to myself: "Oh great...welcome to a repeat of the 2nd half of the Centennial season". Apparently I panic easily. Thankfully, Price was very strong for the rest of the game and the Habs prooved yet again that they are mentally extremely strong! Now..onto the bad.
Happy Monday and Happy Two-Days-After-Patches-Made-Chara-Blow-His-Lid. I watched the Boston game at my in-laws on the tiniest TV from 1983, but even under those dire circumstances I was able to relish the Habs comeback to win. Today's post however will not be dedicated to the Saturday night win, but my Sunday morning into late-afternoon viewing of the HBO series 24/7 Penguins/Capitals – Road to the NHL Winter Classic.
Happy Holidays! It's been awhile since I've posted, my apologies. I was all over the place, and am finally back in town and settled down. I came home last night to the wonderful news of the Habs adding James Wisniewski to their blue line for the price of a 2nd round pick in 2011 (and a conditional 5th in 2012). I won't beat around the bush -- I LOVE THIS.
Quick recap of the game last night, but I much prefer to talk about other stories happening in hockey. At the core of my soul I am a Habs fan, and I can't bare to dissect a yet another late-period goal. The Habs will pick it up, and we'll (ahem..I mean they) will start stringing wins together again.With that in mind, I thought I would take today to share my favorite WTF of this 2010-2011 season:
