A Nice Run

Well this has been a nice run by the Canadiens. Everyone seems to be contributing, even Desharnais. It all coincides with Emelin returning to the lineup from his knee injury. We are 8-0-1 since his return. Price is on top of his game, Subban and Markov are other world like and Max seems to be able to score at will (at least at home). Even last Wednesday in New Jersey where things usually do not go well for us, our nemesis Elias scored what appeared to be the winner with less than a minute to go when Subban gave the puck away. Did we cry and say oh well, all good things come to an end, nope. Desharnais tied it late on a deflection of a Gionta shot and then scored the shootout winner. Then last night, we faced a well rested Bruin team who hadn't played since Saturday whereas we were playing our sixth in nine nights. After falling behind after one, we came our flying in the second with Plekanec and Pacioretty scoring to lead us to a 2-1 lead. Of course, things can change rapidly and we could lose five in a row, after all stathead analytics and the fenwick stat say we shouldn't be winning. That is why games are not fenwicked on compute, but on the ice. Right now, enjoy the ride.
