Eight games left in the season... I feel that now is a good time to look back at my season's predictions and laugh about how little I actually know. This is a humbling exercise because I think I got maybe 1 or 2 right.
I am humiliated. Last night's game was embarrassing to watch. A SIX MINUTE POWER PLAY! But I don't want to harp on a game that was tedious to watch. I think the only reason I kept it on the television was because I don't know what else to watch. Suggestions? Are there sitcoms any more? If so, what's good? What I do want to talk about is Pierre Gauthier and how fearful we should be that he is the one in charge right now.
Been a long time since I've written a post...an awkward amount of time actually. My excuses are feeble and few. In the summer I focus on tennis and softball and not on writing a blog. Then before I knew it training camp was over and the Habs are playing their first game tomorrow! What will my first post be? How about some season predictions, if only because I like to look back at the end of the year and see how many I got wrong. First though, a little side-blog plug. This season I'll also be writing for a new Habs blog called the Montreal Bias. I'll try and not be repetitive in my posts on this blog and that blog.
Darling you got to let me know. Should he stay or should he go? It's May 2, I've voted, I've filed my taxes on time, and America found their villain. But what is actually on my mind is July 1 and what the Habs should do. My priorities are completely out of whack.
I wish I had PVR'd last night's game, because with 10-minutes left in the 3rd period all I wanted to do was hit the fast-forward button and get the game over and done with. Some interesting statistical facts presented themselves to the fans last night:
I know...I know..I missed a post. I never wrote about the 3-0 win over Ottawa. But it was the weekend, I had two hockey games myself, plus my spouse and I have started looking at real estate so I was busy with that. Not an excuse, but there you have it. Let's talk about last night though! Firstly, I watched the game on the new TSN Alternate (whatever that means). I have no feelings either way, it was just fun to watch the game on another channel. Though, during the 2nd intermission I was treated to a rare appearance by former Hab Mike Johnson. Any of you remember him? He played for a single season in 2005/2006 (I think). He wore #20 and I think I was the only Mike Johnson fan in the entire city.
According to my Fantasy Pool, the first week of NHL hockey is complete (it was actually 10 days, October 7 to October 17, but whatever...). The Habs are 3-1-1, the Leafs are 4-0 and Pittsburgh can only win a game when Fleury isn't in goal. My oh my how the tables have turned. I loved the hockey I saw from the Canadiens over the weekend, but then again, I have loved the hockey they've been playing since April.
