Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam only made it big because of the path forged by Hüsker Dü, the Replacements, the Pixies and Montreal bands like the Nils, the Asexuals and Three O’Clock Train.

Strangely, I feel a real relevance of that to whatever I’m witnessing here with our Habs, even as they drop the second game of their third round series against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Regardless, the Canadiens’ 25th Stanley Cup will not necessarily come to the most deserving Habs team; but the most opportune, when the stars align. It could be now (I really think it might), or it could necessarily be somewhere down the line. Essentially, school is still (and always) in session when you’re coached by such a diligent student of The Game as Martin Saint-Louis.

What my eyes see this year: our CH are playing toe to toe with the best.

And it’s dawn, not dusk.
