For those who haven’t heard it yet, the Great Canadiens Conference Quarterfinal Riot of 2008 has been immortalized in song, thanks to The Paul Brown Show on Edmonton’s The Bear.
Unfortunately.
Should we add it to the Habs song list, or just hope we can forget about it before next year?
OK folks, this time they really need us. The Canadiens today sit on the brink of elimination. Down three games to one in the series, the team has to win three games in a row to survive in the playoffs. One loss in three games, and they’re going straight to the golf course.
Super Cauchon is doing his part, but that’s not enough. We all need to contribute.
To help warm up your fan muscles so you’re in top shape tonight, I’ve compiled some Habs-related songs from local radio stations. (Local radio stations being as useless as they are, hockey-related parody songs are one of the few things left that they can do pretty well).
I had a larger collection, but sadly most of them refer to a victory off the back of Cristobal Huet (or worse, José Theodore). So I had to scrap those.
Here’s what’s left, in no particular order:
