Key quotes
· 3 pulledIt is a perfectly reasonable assessment of the Montreal Canadiens that they are recipients of a long and lingering tongue kiss from the gods.
It is equally rational to remind Habs fans in their moment of glorious triumph that the gods are treacherously profligate trollops who distribute their drooly favors indiscriminately and without a moment's thought for whomever they kissed last.
But that's tomorrow's broken heart. In the immediate moment, the hyperplucky Habs are the charmed ones.
