That was a great game to be at.
Interesting pre-game as well. Had dinner and a few beers at Bar Louie, and there were quite a few Habs fans and Nebraska fans there. Habs fans were quiet and polite, but Nebraska fans broke into a few chants which were met with OH - IO!
This game was, quite literally, unbelievable. I have seen the CBJ break out to a few 2 - 3 goal leads and it seems like they would always then just play not to lose. Of course we all know how leads would then sometimes evaporate.
Not last night.
They stormed out to a three goal lead with that first period burst and never took their foot off the gas. They never let Montreal grab any kind of momentum. That was just a beautiful thing to see.
What can I say about Werenski. That kid is just so calm with the puck. He just always seems to know what to do with it. He is so fluid and smooth. And finally we have a guy running the PP that can get the puck to the net.
Speaking of the PP, isn't it nice when we get a PP that we actually think we can score rather then when we talked about wishing we could decline the penalty?
Well, we did have to get a little cooperation from the Habs. They came out sleep walking, and the CBJ never let them recover. I felt bad for Montoya. He let in a few softies, but the poor guy got no help what-so-ever from his teammates. Ten goals, and remember we had another called back, and hit two posts, and a crossbar.
I was at the 8-1 win against St. Louis, the 8-2 win in Detroit, and now this one. Last night was the most fun, but the win in Detroit was probably the most memorable for me. Just being at the 8-2 win at the Joe was something special.
On a side note. Had a Habs fan sitting across the aisle from me. On about the sixth goal, he started cheering for the CBJ. Kinda funny.
