MONTREAL, QC.– Every Spring, the city of Montreal comes alive in a way that only the Habs could be responsible for. The hope that hockey fans feel as the team embarks on its latest drive for twenty five is something truly special.
While I personally like the hockey aspect the most, one of the best things about the playoffs is the surge of Habs patriotism and the emergence of all things bleu, blanc, rouge. It seems that everyone in the greater Montreal area is eager to proudly display their true colours, whether it be by wearing a Habs jersey, attaching a Habs flag to their car, or painting their face.
Our challenge to you is to share your war paint pictures! Have you ever gone all out for a game 7 matchup and painted your entire face? Are you freakishly talented at free-hand face-painting the CH crest on your cheek? We want to know about it!
Even if you haven’t donned Habs colours on your face, we know you proudly wear your Canadiens jersey, t-shirt or hat during the playoffs. We want to see those too!
Send your pictures/stories to robyn@allhabs.net so we can share your artwork with our readers! And just to get the ball rolling, here are a few pictures of myself proudly displaying my Habs war paint and gear:
- Game 7 vs the Boston Bruins (2008)
- Game 7 vs the Washington Capitals (2010)
- Game 7 vs the Pittsburgh Penguins (2010)
