Did anyone see the hour or hour and a half anniversary extravaganza,gala affair before the Habs-Bruins game last night?They brought all the living legends and characters out of the woodwork to put on display.It would have inspired a high school hockey team to beat the Bruins.You just knew that the coach of the Habs wasn't going to lose this game and he did a Pete Rose where he told the team to go out and beat themselves like rented mules for one night for a win.Now for the next few games they can go back to being the mediocre Habs that are worn out from the all out effort last night where they lose 5-1 instead of winning 5-1 like last night.
Herb Brooks from the Mirracle on ice was the kind of coach that could beat the beejesus out of and inspire average players to win a few games against better opponents but when he got to the NHL Rangers that method didn't do well.By January the players were beat up and pissed off.
On a side note,The Canadiens have more tradition than the Yankees,Notre Dame,English soccer,Celtics and Packers by far.It's a cult in Montreal.
