Live Game: The Double Date Edition

What's the perfect double date? How about two hockey loving couple getting four seats in the always fun 400s and watching two of the best teams this season face-off in what is becoming a great NHL rivalry? Well, lucky me, those were the circumstances I found myself in last night. I mentioned on Twitter yesterday that if the Habs lose, I would take full responsibility since I wouldn't be in my regular seat. I take that back and point a very long finger at the coach. Now, bear in mind I drank quite a bit last night and my 30-year old body isn't used to Jameson shots on a Wednesday. So perhaps my vision was blurred, but I could have sworn I saw Lars Eller doing penalty kill work in the last minutes of a very hard fought tied game.

*Disclaimer: I don't boo the home team and I don't boo home-team players. BUT, I thought I would take this opportunity to maybe explore the act of booing, and to some end, justify it's presence it professional sports. I am playing devils advocate here because my feelings are strong in the matter of what it means to be a fan, spectator, and consumer of entertainment. Feel free to disagree, or even boo my article...that's the whole point!

Habs Home Game Entertainment

During my daily Habs news scour I came across this ad. Seems like we need yet another in game host for Habs home games. The worst part of attending a Habs game is the in-game entertainment. Especially because it usually cuts short an impromptu chant. When the whole Bell Centre erupts into a deafening Olé chant we don't want to be stopped to watch two stupid electronic cars pretend race. We don't want to stop our cheers to watch lame girls "exercise" for Energie Cardio, and why is it that the stupidest fan always ends up being the one chosen to guess the player?
