Hail to the Victors
It's not how one would have liked it to end, but the hockey season is over. At least for me.
The Montreal Canadiens were eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers in five games.
The story is mixed. That Canadiens reached the second round is more than many had anticiopated as the season started. At the same time, after finishing first in the East with 104, many hoped and thought that Montreal had a legitimate shot at the Cup final.
Moreover, the Canadiens were seductively frustrating - at times brilliant and dominating and at other times lax and undisciplined.

On to 2008-2009, the 100th anniversary of Le Club de Hockey Canadien.
In the meantime, it's on to Summer.
