December 17: Pride

You know what I really love? Watching my Montreal Canadiens play some awesome hockey. I've been a Canadiens fan for as long as I could remember... I've been watching Habs games with my brother ever since I was able to talk. Thankfully I didn't grow up watching hockey with my dad, because well, he's a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and that is definitely a no no haha! I cringe at the thought of that. :D
I really started to actually watch full games when Koivu became captain, ever since then I've watched him play and looked up to him as a hero - not only for his hockey career, but also for overcoming cancer. Even though he's no longer on the Canadiens roster, he's still such a huge part of this team and always will be for many years to come. I got over that trade, however it took me close to a year to get over it, and now I have new favorite players like Cammalleri, Gionta and Price who really make this team come alive. Of course there's more, but those three happen to be my favorites!
Aaaaand I've rambled long enough, haha. I can't believe Christmas is a week away tomorrow - it really came up fast!

Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame

The statue outside the Bell Center where they play, very cool.

These are all their jerseys throughout the 100 years they've been around, and the street sign named after the Canadiens.

The Habs carrying the torch, very cool moment.

This is probably the coolest thing in the hall of fame. It's a replica of the locker room, it actually felt you were in their locker room, plus they had audio of the coach talking and the players putting on their skates and stuff like that, it was awesome, very well done.

This is Guy Lafleur, one of the Canadiens legends with the actual jersey he wore. And that's only one legend, there's more where that came from!

This is another one of my favorite things from the hall of fame. They're life-like statues of the current players on the Habs, with the scoreboard in the background and everything. It's pretty cool to see, it's like you're with the Habs...but not really, haha.

This is the sign at the entrance when you come in.

This is the street sign named after the Canadiens. It's pretty cool to have a street in your city named after a hockey team!

Today I went to the Canadiens Hall of Fame. I'm a huge Habs fan so this was a treat for me, lots of history in there, enough to give you goosebumps! The pictures above were the highlights of it, my favorite things from the hall of fame.

Montreal Canadiens

I went to the Canadiens game today, even though we lost 4-2, it was still a pretty good game and I was happy to take a few (more like 300) pictures!
