Shouting Out the Devils

So this evening the Habs were in town too play the New Jersey Devils at the Bell Center downtown.
A big game this was. The Devils being in 1st place in the East with 86 points and the Habs being in 2nd with 85 points.
A couple weeks ago the Habs were in 1st in the East but it goes back and forth for awhile however for the city of Montreal lets hope this trend is done and we stay in 1st for the next 2- 1/2 weeks.
In the long run we are in the playoffs so if we happen too loose 1st place in the East we still have the playoffs in front of us.

So the game started off by the Habs looking like a tight, ready to play team.
The first goal scored was by Smolinski off of a drop pass from Kostopoulos going over Brodeur's left shoulder for a top right hand corner goal. Beautiful set up and beautiful goal. 1-0 Habs!
You could tell that the Habs came out to play a good game of hockey against a good good team. And that we did. We played tight, we played offensively and we played to win.

I sat at my local watering hole with a friend and many other hockey enthusiasts and cheered the whole way through while drinking some good ole Rousse.
Fun times.

Carey Price earned himself a shout out against the master goalie Martin Brodeur. The student beating the master!!!

I am leaving home in a couple weeks for another tour with the Bouncing Souls which is going to rule but the one thing I will miss and miss REALLY REALLY bad is the beginning and most of the playoffs. My fingers are just crossed that the Habs go far and when I am finally home we are that much closer to the Cup.
I am not that worried and plan on watching any game I can however there are not going to be many (if any) places in the Empire playing the Montreal Canadiens hockey games. Makes sense although they should. This team needs to be watched, wtinessed, and watched carefully. GO HABS!!!!
