Olé Olé Olé- Haven't heard that one in a while

As the saying goes, "A picture can tell a thousand words." Well, in this case, it goes more like "A hockey game can tell a million words."

Tonight, I rediscovered my love for watching hockey. For the past 6 games, with the exception of maybe one or two games, watching hockey was very unemotional. Extremely neutral and boring/frustrating. Although the Canadiens 5-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers made me realize how fun hockey can be, especially when your team is winning, with a comfortable lead nonetheless. 

The Habs' win tonight means so many things:

• The Canadiens have officially won their first home game.
• Carey Price now has achieved his 100th career win.
• The Habs win their first game since Sunday, October 9th against the Jets.
• They have finally ended their 6 game losing streak.  
• This win gives the team a lot more confidence, as they head out to play 2 games against the Bruins tomorrow and Saturday night.

That list was so exciting to write.    

Coming out very nervous in the first, the Habs were able to pull off a goal within 3 seconds remaining of the first period, tying up the score 1-1 with only 5 shots on net. Yes, finally, a goal on the power play, after firing the Assistant coach and coach of special teams, Perry Pearn. Ironic, no?

The Canadiens came to life during the second period, with goals from Andrei Kostitsyn and Max Pacioretty, taking a 3-1 lead. Then, it was really fun to rub 2 extra goals in the opposing team's face, just for the hell of it. Not to mention, Pacioretty did play tonight, racking up two goals and an assist tonight. That was a fast recovery. 

So I guess Carey Price changing his pink helmet to his old one helped eh? I hate to say it, but superstition helps sometimes. 

Man that was awesome.

Well, I'm not getting any ideas for the next games this week against the Bruins. I hate being negative, but someone has to do it. This should be worth the watch.
