Most men have a routine before they sit to watch a hockey game.
They rise from the kitchen table and head to the living room – beer in hand . Once there , they sit down on the couch , grab the remote , flick through the 99 channels once – find the game and sit back taking a sip from their beer . Then , the most important element of any man `s ritual takes place . They undo their pants and place the `free `hand inside where it is warm .
Last night , most men were just reaching in the fridge to grab their beers and it was 2 – 0 for Les Canadiens . Wow !
Brian Gionta scored on a rebound just : 11 seconds from the start of the game. Wow !
Hedberg started the game in goals for the Devils and he was chased after the Habs `second goal, just 1 : 38 seconds in. Wow !
Lars Eller , who had zero goals in his first twenty – one games , now has two in his last five . Wow !
Tom Pyatt , who had not scored a goal in 24 games , netted his first of the season at 2 : 30 of the second period to put the Habs up 4 – 0 . Wow !
Scott Gomez scored just twice in twenty – one games has now scored twice in his last five . Wow !
Lars Eller who had just one assist in his first twenty – one games as a Canadien , collected an assist on Benoit Pouliot`s goal 9 : 37 into the second period giving him 4 points in his last five games . Wow !
Carey price stopped 27 of the 28 shots fired his way to lower his GAA to 2 . 00 and earn his league leading 15th win of the season. Wow !
Brian Gionta played against his brother Stephen for the first time at the professional level . Stephen is 27 years young and Gionta is 31 . Brian has won a Stanley Cup and played in 561 games while Stephen is playing in only his 7th NHL game . Wow !
