For anyone feeling FOMO about the watch party today: you didn't miss out.

We got there early, and at first, the vibes were immaculate. The hype was real, and it felt like the ultimate fan experience. But because they stopped doing tickets, the place became dangerously overcrowded.

The pre-game wait was so long that people were already wasted and high before it even started. Pushing began early, and it quickly devolved into total chaos:

• People puking everywhere and spilling drinks on others.
• Fights breaking out.
• A group of drunk kids behind us who wouldn't stop shoving, even after being confronted.
• The final straw: People were constantly groping my partner.

We had to leave as soon as the first period ended just to stay safe. As good as it looks from the outside, this is the reality of how messy and unsafe it actually was. If you stayed home to watch the Habs yesterday, you made the right call.

That was a tough watch and I surely lost a decade of my life force watching that one but that was as close as it gets. Raya making that 1v1 saved the game and allowed us to get our goal. He's done this numerous amount of times and should be our POTY.
