A dreaded weekend of afternoon games without the Super Bowl in sight.
The first is against the Champ St-Louis Blues. The Habs beat them 6-3 at home last Saturday. Difficult not to think that the Champs will want that game back and seek revenge.
However, the Habs will be going into the game with a couple of motivated players riding on a tsunami of emotions after further to having scored their first NHL goals on the same night last Thursday:
And here they are, your 1st and 2nd star of the game:
Maybe either or both will strike again in this game. Or maybe, this other guy who might just creep out and do what he does best -- put up more points. He's entering the game with a 4-point game streak (2G, 2A).
Just look at his metamorphosis.
From his on ice persona:
To off ice:
To this ...
And finally, his placement in the ultimate evolution of the character over the years ...
