Well on Saturday Janelle and I and Ben and Jac got up at 4:00am to drive through the snow and rain all the way to Montreal. Dispite the poor driving conditions, the drive was really enjoyable. It was so nice to spend time with Ben and Jac agian, we had some great conversation and big laughs.
We arrived in Montreal around 1:00pm EST and actually did pretty well with the Montreal driving. We got rigged up for the game and walked to the Bell Centre. We took the tour which was awesome and then had an afternoon meal at Le Cage aux Sports. Really cool place. We then spent "some" money in "Le Boutique." My Habs room loved it!At this point we went to stand in line to get in the Bell Centre for the game but they don't open the doors until 5:30. When we got in the atmosphere was AMAZING! There were so many Go Leafs Go chants and Go Habs Go chants before the building was even half full!
When the game started you couldn't even hear! It was unbelieveable. I was high fiving and hugging strangers like crazy!! Things looked bleak for the habs all the way up to the beginning of the 3rd period but with two late period goals from Captian Koivu and a shoot out goal, the Habs took it.
This Janelle and I at the press conference after the game
We drove back Sunday morning and I think Ben and I laughed the whole way. It was SO fun, I can't wait to do it again next year!
Audi Later!

Go Leafs!

DAN, DAVE AND I ARE PRETTY SURE THAT WE SAW YOU!
we were excited, and if it wasn't you, we'd still like to think it was you. so unless your hair was/is still long, and you were wearing a hat, and a red jersey...it was you (not anyone else-YOU)
It was a good trip and an great game. Good use of font colors in this post by the way.
Glad to hear that you guys had fun. I am not glad however that the Leafs blew their lead. Crap. Well off to do some strategizing for the team. Lucky.
I was so glad you guys got to go. When I heard you were at the game I praised God. That must have been quite the experience. (refer to Ben's blog and my comment on his post of the day for my experience with the game) Sweet pick at the news conference. Did they ask questions is French or English? I am glad you enjoyed it and Go Habs Go!!! (that one's for you Darrell)
