Habitants hard habit to break,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
MONTREAL Montreal Canadiens' immense playoff expectations have whipped the city into a frenzy as fans dream of a Stanley Cup run that will raise another banner to the Bell Centre rafters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Canadiens jerseys are flying off store shelves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Habs flags are sprouting from car windows and local fire stations have been slathered with team colours.
Larocque has been on hand to watch team captains hoist hockey's Holy Grail 13 times during a season-ticket tenure that spans 18 Montreal championships.
hope this year will be my 14th,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she said with a grin.
From age 10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the drama and excitement of the game sucked her in.
One of her first NHL memories is listening to a radio announcer describe the funeral for hall-of-famer Howie Morenz, who died in 1937 from complications related to a broken leg.
When Larocque was 25,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she bought a single season ticket in the Forum's nosebleeds for a price that worked out to $1.75 a game.
Larocque's father didn't want her blowing money on season tickets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so she told him she was going to the movies on game nights.
From the Canadiens string of five straight cups between 1956 and 1960,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to the terrifying image of a motionless Lou Fontinato after he crashed head-first into the Forum boards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Larocque has witnessed history time and again for one of the most storied franchises in North American sports.
Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her most vivid memories are locked on one theme: winning.
Stanley Cups were always something special,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she said. was always something new. Two seasons ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Canadiens honoured Larocque's dedication by printing her image on season-ticket packages.
The team invited her to meals with former players and gave her a jersey at centre ice before a game.
At first glance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the soft-spoken Larocque,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who stands under five feet tall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], doesn't appear to be somebody who would fit in with the boisterous Bell Centre crowd.
