Some of you were tempted to make mock of yesterday's advertisement by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Montréal, urging the faithful to pray that the Montréal Canadiens -- "le CH" -- will squeak into the NHL playoffs. Well, did you see last night's game on the Island which is Long?There can be no doubt that God heard and answered Habs fans' prayers. Scotty Gomez scored his first goal since February 5th ... 2011 .. and it proved to be the game-winner as les Glorieux triumphed over the Islanders 4-2.
Never doubt the power of prayer.
Tidbit of trivia: Why are the Canadiens known as "le CH"? It's because their logo looks like a giant C surrounding a smaller H. But in fact there are two C's, a red one inside a blue one. It's really "CHC", for "le Club de Hockey Canadien" or "Canadian Hockey Club". And someone thought that up before Canada became officially bilingual!
It'll all be over soon, so religious Habs fans can thank God for that. No wonder St-Jean Béliveau had a stroke.
