So I'm home from the game...
Observations from the arena: MAN, was it EMPTY! Not as many Habs fans as the last time I went. I think the last time I was there they had a literal busload from Montreal. Seems like the attendance report says it's a sellout. Trust me. The place was empty. I'm guessing that might have showed up on TV too.
The stops and starts in the first period were frustrating, the second period was worrisome, but that third period? The transition game was humming, the Habs were flying and the goals were a comin'. FUN game to be at.
Favorite moment #1
I wear a McLAREN Canadiens jersey with a #12 on it to games. When I stood up to cheer Hamrlik's goal on the great feed from Kovy, some yutz in the crowd yells "Sit your ass down, McLovin'"
Good one.
Favorite moment #2
About forty minutes into my ride home from the Wachovia Center a car pulls up next to me and starts honking. Looks to be a husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend team wearing red shirts - I roll down my window and they yell "We love your license plate! Go Habs Go!"
