The Canadiens were a happy bunch, obviously, in the moments following last night's 5-0 whitewash of the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal.
Here's a roundup of the voices, sometimes caught in midsentence, we were able to record in a very, very crowded dressing room (parental guidance on the Higgins clip, and shame on/congratulations to CFCF's Brian Wilde for setting Higgins up on it):
Wow.. Streit sounds alot like Kovalev.. very impressive!
LOL at the Higgins intreview... ballsy question for sure!(pun intended)

i really like the interviews with Carey , he is so down to earth and Andree has that great accent.
Finally the team played their game balanced on all fronts: Offense, Defense, Goaltending, and Special teams.
Good feeling to see them move onto their next victum.
Go Habs Go
About Dave Stubbs has been a sportswriter since 1976, which was roughly a decade after he wore the first of many holes through the knees of his jeans playing nets in road hockey (using a modified butterfly popularized by Hall of Famer Glenn Hall). He still has the welts to show on his shins from that rotten, frozen orange ball.
Stubbs kept thick hockey scrapbooks filled with game summaries and Gazette and Montreal Star stories, collected dozens of Bee Hive Corn Syrup photos and put a fortune of hockey cards through the spokes of his bikes. First book ever owned: Scrubs On Skates, the classic by Scott Young (Neil's dad).
Stubbs's fantasy is to travel back in time to the 1950s and watch the great Canadiens dynasty that won five consecutive Stanley Cups. Or a decade earlier, to watch Elmer Lach centre Rocket Richard and Toe Blake on the fearsome Punch Line. Or at least to get Rogie Vachon into the Hockey Hall of Fame – where he belongs.
