Go Habs Go
Well.... I got to go to an NHL game this week.... it was the first NHL game I've seen live since 2002 .... and WHAT A GAME IT WAS!!! My son and I drove from Brantford on Tuesday morning to my parents house in Belleville... there, we met up with my dad and rode with him to Ottawa to see the Habs... our VERY favourite team, take on the Senators.....
I went with fear and trepidation, knowing two things......
[1] First that the Sens are not my favourite team... though I have quite a deep respect for Mike Fisher
and [2] knowing that the Habs have had trouble with Ottawa all season long.....
In the 7 games leading UP to Tuesday's game, Montreal had lost 5 of the 7 games, and had been outscored 28-18..... I was thinking it COULD be a long ride home after the game if Ottawa had their way with my TEAM!!!!!
But it was not to be that way on Tuesday..... Montreal showed up to PLAY!.... and BOY what a game they played.......
The arena was laced with Montreal sweaters.... and the ROAR of the crowd when Montreal scored was deafening...... That served to be disheartening to many of the Sen's fans...... I felt kinda bad, but only for a second!!!!
My brother gave the tickets to us, as a birthday gift for Taylor, who turns 18 on the 28th of April..... what a THRILL of a game!!! THANK YOU BRUCE!!!!

It's nice that Montreal won (especially since you were at the game). It was extremely nice of your brother to give you the tickets in the first place.
But the nicest thing of all, was the time that you got to spend with your dad and your son. Moments like that are priceless!
I love the photos! Would you believe today I was listening to the radio and they announced that tomorrow morning they are giving away tickets to the next game....my siblings and I began day-dreaming, knowing we will most likely never be able to go to game for a very long time, at least not all 5 together, because who would pay ?! But seeing your post makes me feel like I was right there, and that is just as good as going, to me! Nice shot of Little Fish, by the way.
Go, Habs, Go! "Bleu, blanc, rouge, Le Canadiens, le Canadiens..."I don't know, that some song from the 70's that I heard, and I can't stop humming it. ;)
LPP in Habs-crazy Montreal
