FINALLY.
That’s the word that came out of every Montreal Canadiens fan’s mouth on Tuesday.
After losing seven games in a row since their opening night win in Buffalo, the Habs did the impossible…
They won a game.
A 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers at the Bell Centre was just what the doctor ordered.
They climbed out of a dark hole that included multiple blowout losses to get a blowout win of their own.
Not only was it their first regulation win of the season, it was also their first home win of 2017-18. Even better? Carey Price looked good, stopping 26 of 27 shots and the team got goals from some of their most important players. Shea Weber scored twice, while Alex Galchenyuk, Brendan Gallagher, and Max Pacioretty netted one each.
Twitter was a fun place to be as it became clear the Canadiens were going to bump the slump. Some were even jokingly planning the parade route.
At least I think they were joking…
The Habs have just won a game. I repeat, the Habs have just won a game!#Habs #GoHabsGo
