Prelude - There is an old expression in sports: "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings." Maybe old expressions need to be phased out, but the point is you never know what you are going to see on any given night when watching sports. Last night was one of those nights.
Sport - Hockey
Event - Montreal Canadiens win 6-5 over the New York Rangers in a shootout. The incredible part of this story, is that in the entire history of the Canadiens they have never come back when down 5-0.
Point to say - "Did you hear about Montreal's comeback last night?"
Follow up point - "Do you think Montreal will pass Ottawa in the standings?"
Get out of the conversation - "Are you going to watch the Oscars?"
Backgrounder
The Montreal Canadiens franchise is nearly 100 years old {Founded in 1909}. It is very rare that there wouldn't be something that hasn't already been done by someone who played for this franchise, or very rare that a team is able to break one of its own records.
Analysis
Stay in your seat until the end of the game. Things change.
Also, these are great lessons in life. Keep trying. Maybe it won't work today, but tomorrow it just might.
