well, the Canadiens gave a us a great show last night. they did end up losing 3-2 but they actually fought for it - something we're not used to seeing - so it was nice to actually see them give a damn and play like they meant it for the whole game.

they didn't fall back after one goal, they went after it time after time. it was a great game to watch if you were a canadiens fan. they were actually playing like a fuckin team. they really can do it. i hope no one faults them for the loss 'cause to me this is definitely a win for them. they showed us they can go up against the best and fight their way out. i hope the loss doesn't overshadow that achievement.

and even the two goals Philly scored in the last 4 minutes of the game weren't cringe-inducing like we usually get.

our team actually had some heart and gave one hell of a run for 60 minutes to the first-place Flyers.
i actually gave a damn about this team (something i'd lost; i'd resorted to liking individual players for the past year).
