We started out the week with the first edition of HABS-TOWN for the 2013 season. Mitchell Kujavsky, aka "The Funny Accountant" stopped by during a busy week of Blog launching. Since 2001, Mitch has been splitting his time between Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, honing his accounting skills. In 2009, Mitch opened his own Tax and Business consulting service, MK & Associates. In between, Mitch was fine-tuning his personal and corporate tax skills, diversifying his knowledge in the related fields of bookkeeping & business consulting, and finding himself a Wife.
Mitch told us that the best game he ever went to was the Playoff game in 2006 when Saku Koivu almost lost an eye. "April 24th, 2006. Game 2 of the Conference quarters against the Carolina Hurricanes. Putting aside for the moment the result of the series and the gut-wrenching, crushed-to-the-core-of-my-being feeling that I went home with following the series-ending game 6 loss, this was the single most exhilarating moment I’ve felt as a Canadiens fan. After wrecking the favoured Hurricanes in game 1, the Canadiens knocked out the Hurricanes goalie Martin Gerber just a few minutes into game 2. The crowd was going absolutely bananas (please see explosion of noise reference above) but the drama was only just beginning! The Habs blew that early 3-goal lead and needed a double-overtime comeback win to take a 2-game-to-nil series lead back to Carolina. Again, forget the result…the rollercoaster ride that was game 2 was one of the most exciting sports moments I’ve experienced so far in my life."

On Tuesday as Brandon Gallagher was getting pumped up for his NHL debut, the rest of the town was buzzing about the return of Alexei Kovalev. We previewed the game hours before puck drop: Snapshot Preview: Habs vs Panthers - January 22nd 2013
The Game with the Panthers ended up being a rather eventful night of firsts. Alex Galchenyuk, in a classy move, was named the first star of the game
after scoring his first NHL goal. He had a great game. His line with
fellow rookie sparkplug Brendan Gallagher was hopping all night. Shift
after shift guided along by their "babysitter" Brandon Prust they drove
to the net creating chances.
There were many encouraging signs out of the Montreal Canadiens last
night. Many players played well. Many players worked very hard. Many
hits were thrown, players stood up for eachother and offense was
created. Michel Therrien, as promised has even started to evolve his
coaching tactics often pushing a defenseman into the offensive zone as a
fourth attacker supporting the forwards. Last night, the Canadiens
drove the pace. But, let's be honest here, this was a Florida Panthers
team playing it's 3rd game in 4 nights.
