For my first live blog I will also be testing out the Montreal Canadiens 2009-2010 Drinking Game.
Bare with me, this night could end badly.
Martin predicted this move and decided to start Halak, invalidating all my shots against Price in the game
If you want to play along, the drinking game is here: http://habinhiding.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-2010-habs-drinking-game.html

Shout outs and liveblogging
Well, my hockey-watching friends are all pre-occupied tonight, which means I will be doing two things
1: First trial run of the Habs Drinking Game
2: First trial run at liveblogging a game.
This could be amazing, or a disaster - odds are it'll be hilarious either way.
I don't like doing blog shoutouts too often because I'm of the belief that most habs fans tend to already read the same blogs I do, but that's not always the case.
I found a blog about someone who began following the Canadiens recently after being a Sabres fan and fell in love with the team; I can relate somewhat as I have a very soft spot in my heart for Columbus and to a much lesser extent Phoenix. That said, he was disenfranchised with our sometimes goon-like behaviour in our first two games, and I found this to be a perspective I hadn't seen before. I also thought it was outright wrong at the time and commented as such, but I can see how someone used to the finesse history of the team and started watching us when we had almost no physical presence may not appreciate the turnaround. It's a perspective I'd legitimately never seen before, and think it deserves attention from all five of my readers.

Its refreshing to see our fanbase make criticisms that have some legitimacy instead of "Gomez doesn't speak French" "Price cant make a glove save" and "Carbo should be fired". I still see that last one, incidentally.
The other post is off of LionsInWinter and I think is perfect in addressing the panic mode some people are in and the issues facing the habs today. I won't steal his thunder and he doesn't need justification for me linking him, so check it out
