Live Game: The Double Date Edition

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.

Morning After – Philly

Before the season began, I predicted that Price wouldn't get a single shutout all season. It wasn't for lack of skill, but in the past he always let in a goal in those dying seconds. I described him as being " not a shut out" goalie. I usually really hate being wrong, but in this case, I am ecstatic about how wrong I was. His shutout last night wasn't a 20-save routine either. He made 41 stops, most of which came in a second period where the Habs coul have easily found themselves on the losing side of the game.
