81 games of hope

"In their most critical game of the season, the Canadiens could not score on young Ottawa goalie Patrick Lalime until it was too late. When it was over, Lalime himself had to show an unpleasant Montreal crowd how to handle it with class: Lalime pointed to the Canadiens bench and applauded, and those who hadn't already stampeded for the exits followed his example and gave the Canadiens a long ovation."

Just in case you needed another reason another reason not to drink big corporate beer. Meanwhile, congratulations to the Canadian Women's Hockey Team for winning a sixth consecutive World Championship and demonstrating that, despite Buffalo having won this afternoon, there is still some small justice in the universe.
