After being absolutely shellacked by a score of 10-0 at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Montreal Canadiens get to redeem themselves against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night.
Let’s be real- there’s no need for an analysis of a downright awfully embarrassing gong show of a failure that was a sorry excuse for a hockey game on Friday night. It was an all-around dismal performance by mostly everybody involved, from the coaching staff down to the players, save perhaps for goaltender Al Montoya who was left out to dry by the aforementioned.
With that in mind, it’s important to find humour in these types of situations. At least, that’s what I like to tell myself.
Without further ado, here is my top-10 list of the funniest Tweets sent out regarding the Habs on Friday:

Therrien said it was a tough decision to keep Montoya in during the game, after first talking it over with Mario Tremblay. #Habs #CBJ #NHL
