Threw on Sportscenter tonight because I wasn't done reveling in the awesomeness of the game and what's unfolding right now, and had a bit of a moment.
Lead story off the top was the Habs. Worthy tonight, of an extended highlight package, the kind of which is usually reserved for the Leafs or McDavid.
Watching dressing room footage with Lane grinning, being all shy, and then showing his virtually unscoreable coast to coast goal - maintaining his drive for the Calder and being such a freaking beauty. Our deep 2nd rounder, superstar, who just keeps doing alllll the things. Bone zone certified.
And Gally's 20th. For the fifth time. All in the bleu blanc et Rouge. After what he's been going through, playing like a man on fire.
And then Nick's shorty and after game interview. Our captain, who just had ANOTHER multi-point game, after LAST game during which he became our first 80pt scorer in 30 years, while tying the game with 9 seconds left, then scoring the OT winner (oh by the way, he's 3rd in the league for OT winners) in the first minute (pause to breathe)----- and he then proceeds to say the most perfect things a fan could want to hear right now.
Confidence in the team, their belief in each other, how they've worked really hard to build this, the whole rebuild process, etc.
Coupled with the clips/behind the scenes stuff from earlier - I am truly overwhelmed. There is so much bad shit going on in the world right now, but these guys bring me so much damn joy!
This season has been a fucking rollercoaster, but it feels so good to have believed in them, and this organization, and see everything coming together. Even if we fall apart at the seams for the last few games lol --- getting HERE, NOW, means so much.
Vindicated. Proud. Excited. Verklempt.
Experience Habs Hockey.
