How could I possibly ask for a better finish to this fantastic road trip? The Habs win their last regular season home game 2 - 0 against the Bruins in front of their 100th consecutive sell out crowd. Montreal’s playoff hopes are still alive and with only 2 games remaining it should be a pretty exciting finish.
Captain Koivu, who received a lot of local media for being benched in the final minutes of their last game, scored both goals and they were beauties! Big time.
The crowd didn't generate the atmosphere that I experienced in Ottawa but it was incredible all the same. I have followed The Canadiens since I can remember and have never seen a game in Montreal so to say that I felt a bit of emotion would be an understatement.
The crowd after the game cheering:
There will be another post once I get home to put this blog to rest where I will give you a run down of some highlights and stats. But before I do, I have to update you on my last couple of days...
Cad (Aaron) and I went to the Napanee to spend some time with Uey (and his family). Spence also joined us from Carlton Place for a night out in Kingston.
Uey, Me, Cad and Spence:
Annette, Aaron (Uey), Hannah and Cal (forgot to take a photo of them when they were all at home so Cad took this photo of a photo!):
We were also able to catch up with another Mount Allisonian, David Pryde, who is now a stand-up comedian (and damn funny) - check out his site:

It was a great time…I hadn’t seen those guys for over a decade and it would seem the more things change, the more they stay the same.
We (Cad and I) arrived in Montreal on Monday and spent most of the day on Tuesday doing interviews for the CBC. Two radio interviews and a TV interview as well..even Cad got some airtime.
Well, it's back to Nova Scotia, 13hrs, probably the longest drive of the trip outside of the leg to Vancouver and the leg from Dallas to St. Louis. One more post to come - probably in a day or 2 once I get get over the shock of not having to move on.
