Toronto has Carolina tonight. Oh boy! That should be a real humdinger.

And what's the matter, smc? Didn't you like the taste of my poutine?

I went to the game. Got last-minute tickets. It was Rask in the net, and he did a great job until the 3rd period. Habs 4-1.

Best part of the night, though, other than the drinking binge at pub after the game, was the subway ride in. At one stop, about 15 Habs fans got on. I started speaking French to them, so they thought I was a Bostonian Canadiens fan. We talked for a few minutes, I shared my support for Team Canada in the Olympics, and then I hit them with a zinger: "Your Habs will be crushed tonight." And I used Quebecois slang. You should have seen the looks on their faces. Priceless.

Too bad I was SO, SO wrong.
