The Canadiens rebound from a 7-1 trouncing on Thursday in Minnesota to edge the visiting New York Rangers 5-4 at the Bell on Saturday night, and church bells ring throughout the land.
So if you hear church bells on Saturday night or Sunday morning, it’s because the Habs won. What else could it be?
Not only did they win but they did it by scoring three unanswered goals in the third period to do it. It’s almost religious.
The first period saw Andrew Shaw, returning from concussion, interfere in the crease which caused Phillip Danault’s goal to be called back, the team was scored upon with Shaw in the box, and to cap off the night for the returning not-so-bright forward, he blindsided Jesper Fast and received a five minute major and game misconduct.
