shame on you, premonition

as montreal scored their sixth goal on martin gerber, i warned a skeptical matt that this would be montreal's undoing. much like the last time montreal faced carolina, their offense embarrassed lina's goalie, and the backup dominated montreal in the following games. i hope i'm wrong, but it's looking increasingly hard to beat cam ward. i've tried nearly every superstitious trick in the book in hopes of swaying the hockey gods in montreal's favour, and am left with suspect options such as the reverse rally cap and pele's shavo-rama to toy with chance, and since neither actually exists, i doubt they will work.

here's hoping koivu has two eyes for the '06 season.
