Extrapolation: 4-2-2 = x 82 games - 102.5 points - 3rd in our division, 5th in our conference, 6th in the league. And this is before the Wild game tomorrow. So given a hoped for win tomorrow the extrapolation will be 5-2-2 = x 82 games - 108.06 points - 2nd in our division, 2nd in our conference, 2nd in the league. - Not bad for a bumpy start. Of course if we lose tomorrow my day will be somewhat ruined and I will be bitter and disenfranchised. But for now .... : )~

Thank you. Telling a writer you want more is a huge compliment. So much better than, "Geeze, nice, but a tad long there, you lost me." Do you do lastwordonsports? Always enjoy reading it.

Hi Everyone. My name is Allan Katz and I wrote the memory piece about John Ferguson. My next piece will be about Jean Beliveau. I'd love to hear any feedback on the column and about your memories of your favorite players. It is my belief that where the Habs and our own personal lives intersect is a rich vein for exploration. It is my goal to explore this area and to hear from others their stories where their lives and their being hockey fans intersect. I'm open to answering any questions about process or even my journey to Lala land where I write and act for a living. Curious to hear about you and the passions this team brings out in us.
