Bombs away: Habs 3, Sharks 2

Gorges! That's 3 goals! What the hell, man?!

You know, there's nothing more satisfying than walking out of your car to the tune of "first period is over, 3-nothing Canadiens". Yes I had other plans for the evening, which consisted of heading over to Clydes for a friend's birthday who's born on a day that only exists once every 4 years. I listened to the game on my way there. Actually I just missed Markov's PP goal when I came back in from the bank, but my brother's description of it was that it left a vapor trail. But nothing makes me happier than to hear Gorges score a goal. Pinching up very precisely. My car reverberated by the jeers of "Boooooooou~cheeeeeeer". And then Mon Capitain finally gets himself a goal. Sounded like a lovely play. Also heard BGL put the smack down on some guy who still wanted more later.

Naturally being at Clydes, the game was on tv. I then got to see the Habs poop the begining of the second with two quick goals against. When a late arrival of my friend's came in to see the score, his reaction was one of WTF, but I explained to him how this came to pass. Then we had the joy of watching Jaro flop on his back and Markov save his ass a few times, Komo with his fucking clearing passes up the middle to someone's face, and a few goal posts of doom...

Overall, it was a good first period but I didn't expect much considering the guys played to overtime the night before. I want Metro to scoooooooore. I also want them to stop with the lumpsided number of shots. I also wanted TK or Patches to punch in that empty net. Or Stewart. He looks desperate for a goal.

And I enjoyed my Lemon Mousse cake
- Carolina pooped themselves, lost 5-3 to the brown bird of Georgia. Though the highlight they showed mid-game looked like it would have been a Carolina rout. For the sake of the East, I thank you Atlanta.
- Rangers got Torts his first win by picking on the Avs. They're good for something I guess.
- Leafs, Sens, OT win for the Leafs. Meh.
- Buffalo appears to be in hell.
- Detroit...? Uh... 8-0 Nashvilled (sic). Rinne was better than Osgood and Conk combined.
- Earlier this afternoon Thomas dropped his horseshoe and bobbled an 80-footer by Semin in overtime. YOU ROOOOSE!
- Brodeur does 15 saves for a 7-2 smack down on the Panthers. Yawn...
- I came home and my broher was watching the Oilers/Wild game. It's way too dull to keep watching no matter how much I like Clutterbuck.
