Home to 24 Stanley Cup championships, the Montreal Forum was one of the true cathedrals of the sport. As we walked along its fabled halls, we could almost hear voices from a bygone era usher us in. Young players never forget their first game in the Forum, and even veterans could be intimated by the ghosts of champions past.
As we took to the ice, our job was to put history aside and focus on the task at hand. It was our second game in as many nights, so we needed to find the energy to upset the home team. Fortunately, we did just that, playing a strong defensive game to compliment an outstanding performance from our Latvian 'keeper Arturs Irbe. When the final horn sounded, the scoreboard read 3-0 Canucks, and we gave the players a big pat-on-the-back for a great effort!
