If Sidney Crosby has been trying to discredit any conspiracy theories lately, you wouldn’t have guessed it by his actions during game 2 of the Habs-Pens semi-final series. Here’s the video in case you missed it:



To the amazement of experts and fans everywhere, Crosby was not given a penalty on the play. Was it a penalty? Probably, but I’m not going to spend my time ranting about conspiracy theories.

I’m only 22, but I like to think I’ve watched a lot of Hockey. I’ve witnessed some of the great moments in Habs history (Donald Audette scoring after getting his hand chopped off) and some of the ‘lesser’ moments in Habs history (Saku Koivu getting blinded by Justin Williams). Because of my superior Hockey knowledge I was able to develop several methods that the Montreal Canadiens can use to successfully defeat the Washington Capitals in their quarterfinal series.

Things Carey Price has Learned/Noticed while riding the Bench

It’s no secret that Jaroslav Halak has won the starting job from Carey Price. While Jaro spends his days making Pierre Gauthier’s job a living hell, Carey has been riding more pine than a horny lumberjack.

The Habs were so pre-occupied with the fact that they were up 2-0 on the Sabres with fewer than 5 minutes left that most of them lost focus on the game and started dealing with other endeavours.

After the Olympics, I made a joke about Gionta, Cammalleri and Gomez going to a recording studio with Nikki Yanofski to record a Habs playoff push song called
Please Believe’. A few people asked me to write lyrics...and yes I always listen to what people on twitter tell me to do.

So here’s a behind the scenes look at the recording between the 3 superstars, and Scott Gomez.

Please don’t sue me Nikki.

It works if you listen to the song at the same time as you read it.

Please Believe!

We cut in to the recording studio in which Mike Cammalleri, Brian Gionta, Scott Gomez, and Nikki Yanofski have just finished rehearsing.

Cammalleri: How was that guys?

Gionta: I don’t know Mike...

Cammalleri: What was wrong with it?

Gomez: You should more singing and less monotonous crying.

Cammalleri: I get nervous.

Nikki: How much am I making for this again?

Gomez: Probably not more than I’m making- want to compare pay checks?

Nikki: Let’s just start from the top!

*Music begins to play*

Nikki: There comes a moment,

Where the city feels so alone,

On this lonely path of parity,

Ever since Roy found a new home.

Gionta: Sometimes when I’m skating down the ice,

And I see the d-men coming up,

I can’t help but thiiiiiink....

I’m really smaaaaaall.

But hey I make five mill,

*Chorus*

Cammalleri: Please believe! We can make playooooffffs,

I mean come on we’re ahead by Seven pooooiiiintssss

Please Believe! We’ll make the playoooofffs

Please Believe, or I think I might cryyyyy.

Pierre Gauthier’s voice: I traded a second round pick for Dominic Moore.

*Second Verse*

Nikki: Fans have been waiting, for this moment since ‘05

To make the playoffs and get in deep enough,

For Lapierre’s beard to come to liiiiiiiife

Cammalleri: In the Bell Centre there will be no doubt,

The fans; in drones they’ll come out,

And Embrace me to beeee the dude who wears the Ceeeee!

No nothing can stop me!

*Chorus*

Gionta and Gomez: Please Believe! We can make the playoffs!

We swear O'Byrne won't score an own gooooal,

Please Believe! We’ll make the playoffs

Please believe or Gauthier might diiiiiiieeee.

Nikki: Please BELIEVE! They’ll make the playoffs!

Fatendresse will not weigh them down!

PLEASE BELIEVE! They’ll make the playoffs!

Please believe or elseee Plecaneeeeeeekkkkk

*Hockey players sing chorus in high pitched voices in background*

Nikki: Will wave goodbye!

......

Pleeekkkkkkyyyyyyy will waAaAaaaAaAave goodbyyyyyeeeee.

Gomez, Gionta, Cammalleri: Please Believe! Once we’re in I promise that
we’ll....tryyyyyyyy.

Dead Silence follows the end of the recording.

Gionta: How did we do?

Cammalleri: I don’t think that was half bad.

Gomez: 6 wins in a row, and a hit single? Nice.

Nikki: Honestly?...I need to get a new agent.

Habs Laughs

Hey TCL,

The name is Mike O, a few months ago I started a Habs Blog that dealt with the lighter side of being a Habs fan. Rather than pour over every detail from every game I decided to take a lighter approach and take the funny route.

I was approached by TCL to post my blogs here in hopes if giving the Habs and Hockey fans who are regulars a taste of some Habs Laughs.
