Here’s To You, Historic Habs

I saw Led Zeppelin in Vancouver in ’73, and Evel Knievel jump over 13 Mack trucks on his motorcycle at the CNE in ’74.

On my TV in Orillia I saw the Kennedy assassination in ’63, and Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon in ’69.

And from my couch in Powell River in 2016, I saw the Montreal Canadiens have their lousiest season in 75 years.

The historic Habs.

Something to tell my grandchildren.

And their fifth loss in a row (forget the overall loss tally) was against the Boston Bruins, with good old Brad Marchand scoring one of the five Bruins goals as his team rolled over the hometown Habs 5-1.
