    Finally back home in Montreal. Tired of trying to watch games in the middle of the night. Call 6-3 Habs tonight.

    Man it would suck to be a Washington fan right now. Future looks bleak atm.

    For us however, do the top line boys keep it going is the question?

  4. Manofoneway221

    Hoping for some chaotic loss like 7-6 or something our guys stay hot and we let the Caps climb higher
