Moreover, whether we like it or not, that player will defend the net, our net, from our side, for our team.
Now, the first period is always the best one. Regardless of the score, there are two more left so encouragement is the name of the game.
It can be a power play, a penalty kill, a face off, or an icing: the Habs have the most supporting and unconditional fans in the world. But only in the first period.
The second is a bit trickier. Tension is higher; stress, headaches, and vocal troubles start to kick in.
Then comes the third period, the deadly one, where every mistake is going to be pointed out, and the guilty man who dared to commit the fatal error is eligible for human sacrifice.
Between the “f-morons” and the “you don’t deserve the money we spend” screams and insults that have been shouted to the players, the Habs wonderland turned into a nightmare.
Watching your team lose to its most hated rivals can certainly draw anger and frustration. But aren’t fans supposed to be unconditional fans?
By the end of the game, Carey Price became the new Tim Thomas; victim of name chants and boos.
All that being said, what are the odds that if this team would win again, Price will come back to being the Messiah sent by God himself to save the most amazing team that is the Montreal Canadiens; led by the most amazing GM and Head Coach who is Bob Gainey?
You tell me.
Go Habs!
