How sweet it is indeed...

For the first time since 1993(the last time they won the Cup by the way..) the Montreal Canadiens are in first place in the Eastern Confrence. This despite Ryder not scoring, and trading our starting goal tender away at the deadline. Gainey is starting to look pretty smart in my book. As a side note..please check out the team in 12th...just sayin..it's a good time to be a Habs fan..
