They adore their 64s. Their Commodore 64s. Holy crap, that brings back memories. I don’t know how many people have fond memories of typing commands into a blue screen when they were 5 years old, but I’m one of them.

And before all you people roll your eyes and think what a geek I was for not being outside playing baseball when I was 5, I did that too. I was well-rounded. So suck it.

When I tuned into tonight’s Habs-Bruins game the score was 4-2 Boston. The Canadiens, however, were completely dominating — penning the Bruins in their own zone, getting good shots, cycling, shooting, holding the puck — so I expected, short of a goaltending miracle, that they would tie it up. And they did, with a few seconds left in the second. The Bruins took a 5-4 lead late in the third, but the Canadiens tied it up again. Finally, though, they were undone by shoddy goaltending and shoddier officiating. Michael Ryder was crosschecked to the ice in the offensive zone; the Bruins, of course, came up the ice and scored. It was the second straight shot from the point to beat David Aebischer, who didn’t exactly look sharp. Too bad; the Canadiens were two minutes from salvaging a point. Final score, 6-5 Boston. Argh.
