Wouldn't you pay good money to see a Bruins fan wear this?

Everybody drop what you’re doing. I don’t care what it is. Just drop it and pay attention.

Against all odds, the Montreal Canadiens beat the Boston Bruins in Boston on Thursday, November 5, 2009. Carey Price played a phenomenal game and he looked amazing. We had not been able to beat the Bruins in FOREVER.

But not only that. I won a very important bet against a Bruins fan. As reported on metricjulie.com here, Sarah Connors and I made a friendly wager on this game. The deal was: if the Bruins won, I would wear a Bruins jersey to the Winter Classic Tweetup on January 1, 2010; however, if the Habs won, Sarah would wear a Habs jersey to the WC Tweetup. The jersey would then be raffled off to one lucky person, and all proceeds would go to Hockey Fights Cancer.

Now don’t get me wrong: I love my team. And I’m a Price girl. I was ecstatic to be in Boston to watch this game regardless of the score. But I never, EVER, thought we would actually WIN and that *I* would win my bet. I had gone through the 5 stages of grief and had made my peace with it all.

Suck it, Sarah

But we won. What the HELL. WE WON! Which means I WON! Oh man.

So listen up folks. Here’s what happens next:

We all heckle Sarah.  I gloat. We all donate. I get her this. She wears it at the Winter Classic Tweetup. We all take pictures and threaten to blackmail her for the next 20 years with them. We raffle off the jersey. We give all the proceeds to Hockey Fights Cancer. Sarah is scarred for life.

We understand each other? Good.

And Sarah… this will be you and I on January 1, 2010. I promise I will give you a special birthday kiss.

À la prochaine chicane!
