Weekes Head Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Well, I just got back from Montreal a little while ago - it was a great time (aside from the loss, the painful drive home in the snow, and the sad suprise of Albelin playing). I'm dead tired right now, so I'll follow this post up with a detailed report of the game in a little bit... Bell *cough*Molson*cough*Centre is beautiful, btw... Wow, this post was rather useless, wasn't it? Blah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Would so miss it...of course -- well I wouldn't really because Montreal is fine and all but it's not the cat's meow of Canada But I don't think I'd mind the snow! I lived in Bismark at one point! Besides, Sheeps just misses the ballet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Montreal is one of my favorite places to go to any time of year. At least they're nicer than the French in Paris when you try to speak French to them. Now, what's with the fans in Montreal not throwing any hats after a hat trick tonight by Koivu?

Weekes Head Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 Report is coming soon...it's just a question of when I'm NOT too lazy/busy (there's an odd combination, eh?) to write it. One neat thing - the Habs honored Larry Robinson before the game (as you are all well aware)...when I was waiting outside for the doors to open, I start to hear some applause from a distance. So, I turn around, and low and behold Larry Robinson is standing right behind me! Hey hey! We all cheered on Larry as he waved and shook hands with a bunch of us, and then he made his way into the arena. Not bad, huh? Also...another little funny tidbit - a (very nice) man I met on the trip was telling me how he saw Joe Nieuwendyk, Brian Rafalski, Jamie Langenbrunner, Johnny Mac, and Bobby Carpenter shopping in Roots. He said he chatted with a few of the players for a little bit (Raffy was piling up a mountain of clothes), and he told them to earn their paychecks by playing well that night so they COULD go out and stock up on clothing from Roots...He said Nieuwy laughed and agreed - kinda funny they ended up losing that night though hehe....

tevyfan Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 A friend of mine saw Gomez and Stevenson at Chapters buying books. She was kinda shocked...she didn't think hockey players could read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
