johnnyhasbeen Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Just had to share this one. On my recent leg of our tour my cell phone broke and I found myself calling that Sen loving wife of mine collect. Thursday pre-game I called collect from "Go Habs" she got a laugh out of that and we won, so I did the same Saturday, another win. Well you know I had to do the same last night, and again... Am I on to something? Home on break for next 2 games but I will retest my theory in Oakville Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 If it does work she could charge habs fans to call and make it a business. The more calls the better. Especially if it works for all callers. Let us know how this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell us about it and then tell us your not going to do it untill saturday. My friend you need to make the call.........these next two games are too important....

johnnyhasbeen Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Okay, that worked, Thursday I have arranged to be in a resort/spa so can call home from there. Don't change your socks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Did you actually go to the payphone up the street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggieMcHabfan Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 If you break this ritual and the Habs lose, you will hate yourself. Continue, continue, continue. Myself, I've managed to miss the first half of the first period of the last four Habs wins. Coincidence? I'm not taking any chances. RDS isn't getting tuned in until at least 9 p.m. Atlantic time on Thursday. Shoot I think I just stepped on a crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyhasbeen Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yes, I went to the pay phone at the near by service station. It was tied up by a teen who after 10 minutes wasn't giving it up so I went down the road to the hospital, parked in emergency, ran in , quick collect call, hung up and made it home for face-off. yes, wife and hospital workers who saw guy in habs sweater all think I am nuts but this is a playoff drive. Beard is a week and a half old now aswell. never said I was sane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 WOW, maybe somebody should notify the Montreal front office, and Johnnyhasbeen will be able to use George Gilletts personal phone to call his wife and keep this amazing streak going.....

johnnyhasbeen Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well it worked again, collect from Ontario, Go habs Go, another great victory. Guess it is back to collect payphone calls now as we are off until the end of the month. I will continue until we lose, I feel I have to. As they say, "It's the little things in hockey that matter".
