There's something magical about Hockey Night in Canada. The lights, the anthem, the sea of bleu-blanc-rouge echoing through the Bell Centre—it's pure hockey soul. Saturday night, New York Rangers vs. Montreal Canadiens. Two Original Six teams, two franchises that have seen it all. Montreal came in flying—buzzing, scoring, feeling themselves. The Rangers wanted to finish, find rhythm, and prove they can put the puck across the line. They did it four times in an enthralling 4-3 victory that may kickstart a heater we've been teasing throughout the week, as they were getting goalied three straight times.
I'll admit it, I've always had a soft spot for the Habs.
