What is your first Habs game experience?

I figured I'd do something a little different on here. What was the first Habs game you ever attended? What was the score? What do you remember? Etc... I'll go first.
The first ever Habs game I attended was with my cousin. He phoned me up, knowing I was a diehard from the Eastern Townships (he's from TMR) and said he had 2 free tickets and wanted to know if I was interested in going? Obviously I said yes! So a couple days before the game, the guy who was giving my cousin the tickets (or so he thought) only gave him one. Explaining the situation to the gentleman, he thankfully and graciously gave him both so that I would be able to attend the game as well!
In the end we attended the April 10th, 2006 game, with the Habs winning 3-2 against the Sens, and David Aebischer (of all people) standing on his head for the Habs. It was such an amazing experience, and one I'll never forget. I've been to around 8-9 more since that time (all but 1 in the playoffs - Mostly the playoffs where Halak stood on his head)! Miss it now, being in Vancouver, however... looking forward to being able to watch a game in the Bell Centre again in the near future!
