As a B.C. boy, born and raised, I cannot explain why I have developed a soft spot for the Montreal Canadiens.
When the old Quebec Nordiques were around, I cheered for them with vigour. They were always the underdog against the all too powerful Canadiens.
After the Nordiques left for Colorado, my eyes turned to that other Quebec team and my respect for them grew by leaps and bounds. No longer was Montreal the dominant team they had been known for in years past, they were a team that had to hustle and struggle for every point they got - and I respect that.
Once again, the Canadiens have beat the odds by going up 2-0 in the best of 7 series against the heavily favoured Carolina Hurricanes. I hope the have saved some magic left to pull it off.
