Why The Canadiens Should Bring Back Thomas Vanek

3. PLAYING IN MONTREAL IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE

I think scoring a goal inside the Bell Centre is too sweet a thing to taste not to want more. If visiting players are so taken by the atmosphere of the Bell Centre that they offer it more praise than their own arenas, imagine how allured they become once they play there in home colours. If a goal announcement evokes chills coursing through the veins of spectators, imagine the feeling of a player soaking it up on the bench. I was lucky enough to be at the game versus the Avalanche this season when Vanek scored his first three goals with the Canadiens in the form a natural hat trick. I think all 21,273 fans could feel his appreciation for the crowd as the crowd did he.

If you have tasted sweet success in Montreal, how could you not want more?
