| Forget for awhile about signings and non-signings and Saku Koivu and Alex Kovalev. It’s all too much on this lovely weekend. Now is the time to celebrate. Because in one area of Habsdom, we are champions of the world!
Okay, so it’s not the Montreal Canadiens winning the Stanley Cup, or any of the Habs players winning an award, or even the AHL affiliate Hamilton Bulldogs winning something. But a good, solid Montreal Canadiens fan should celebrate that at least the Cincinnati Cyclones, who are a joint affiliate of Montreal and Nashville, won something. They won TICKET DEPARTMENT OF THE YEAR!!!! Congratulations to the Cincinnati Cyclones ticket department.
