Have You Shot the Rapids Yet?

When I lived in Verdun I got many a boat ride through some of the rapids, rock island ,Herron island etc.but I never had a chance to do this,This looks like an absolute blast and a must do thing if I ever get back for a visit, These rapids were and are dangerous,the river itself is a very fast moving river that also has under currents in many spots people think look calm. Don'y kid yourself this river will claim your life in a heartbeat (or put an end to a heartbeat) if you are not careful. As kids we were warned constantly "don't go down to the river" so of course we all had adventures and tales we could stilll tell of adventure and in some cases misadventure. Sadly we have all lost people we know to the river that claimed their lives. All that said this rafting experience is just something that has to be done. I have done the Hells Gate out in BC but I would still like to do the river in my hometown. Anyway enjoy this video from 2021 I may even have posted this sometime in the past,but here it is again. Cheers ! Have Fun and Remember Verdun

Habs Win 7th game in Ot....... Alex Newhook scores ....on Sabres

It was a nice goal and a great shot that just beat the Sabres netminder. Of course Jacob Dobes makes 37 stops and continues his incredible goaltending. These games are all nailbiters as Aislin cartoons depict, but it was good to literally breathe a sigh of relief when Newhook scored. Yikes being a Habs fan is hard.........lol Here are a few photos with credits to the public domain.Montreal Gazette,and Buffalo news papers as well as internet.

Now the team heads to Carolina to play the very well rested Hurricaines who have won 2 series so far in only 8 games,sweeping both. Habs will have their work cut out for them,so let's hope the Bleu Blanc Rouge have more stamina in the bank. Go Habs Go

Aislin capturing the feeling..........got to say it's true, lol

Another capture of how Montrealer's follow the team. Thanks again Mr Mosher

Aislin- in todays Gazette(May 4th 2026), Our Hopes Revived ..................thank you Mr Mosher great cartoon...lol

Congrats to Cole Caufield on Scoring his 50th for the Habs

Wow this years version of the Habs is exciting to say the least. It has been a long time coming since the Habs had a 50 goal scorer,,,,,,,,,it is nice to see. This kid is fantastic,and some of his goals are pure magic. Marty has a good young team here and coralling these guys I am sure is a bit like herding cats.Keeping all that young talent cohesive is remarkable.They still have a ways to go but it is nice to see they atr pointed in the right direction. It sure makes us (old guys) appreciate all the fabulous players and teams we got to see while we grew up in Verdun/Montreal. We sure need a return to glory. Again congrats Mr Caufield ,we appreciate your talent.

Have Fun Remember Verdun and of course Go Habs Go
