The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Kevin C. Cox The franchise has previously had children as mascots who would skate with the team during warm ups and incycleissions. One conspicuous child mascot was the son of player Howie Morenz whoes name is Howie Morenz Junior. Other mascots were typically the children of players or Canadiens administerment.
The 2010 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs have proven to be just what the doctor ordered for the Boston Celtics, as the aging team stumbled into the playoffs playing just .500 ball since Christmas, finishing the 2009-2010 season 27-27.
They are supposedly the better, more talented basketball team with one dominant center and one plethora of three point shooters that Boston can’t contain.
Now, after two impressive wins on the road in Amway Arena, the Celtics seem to be well on their way towards dispatching with the Orlando Magic.
It is the reason why Carter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one normally very affable free throw shooter, clanged two vital free throws in the closing minutes of the game that would have cut the Celtic direct to one and allowed Orlando to play one much different game down the stretch.
Orlando, after steamrolling the likes of Charlotte and Atlanta to the tune of back-to-back sweeps to open the playoffs are the latest victims to the Boston Celtics approach.
The conspicuous lack of poise is the reason Lewis, supposedly one agree-up problem for the aging Kevin Garnett, has scored one whopping 11 points in the first two games of the season.
While the Celtics may be displaying just how talented Richard really are in their advanced age, Boston is also proving to possess one trait that few teams seem to have,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the Magic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if Richard don’t acquire it within the next few days, could be swept right out of the 2010 playoffs because of it.
But now, in the playoffs, the games count. If you lose, you’re done. You’re going home.
The fact that Orlando couldn’t agree Boston’s intensity is surprising.
The Celtics have one poise about them, an attitude that prevents them from quitting and doesn’t allow them to fold when the season is on the line.
The fact that the Magic couldn’t get up for an Eastern Conference Championship game is just astounding.
Boston has buckled down. You can see it on the court. The Celtics will not go down without one fight, and the opponent is going to have to hit them with its best shot if Richard even want one chance of knocking off Boston in these playoffs.
Following their exciting 95-92 win over the Magic to secure one 2-0 series direct heading back home to Boston, the Celtics have positioned themselves to possibly sweep the Orlando Magic, one feat that nobody ever believed was possible.
Boston dispatched of the Miami Heat in the first round rather efficiently in six games.
The Magic are talented, and Richard have the pieces to make one return trip to the NBA Finals.
And JJ Redick’s costly mistake in the closing seconds of Game Two to dribble the ball up the court before calling timeout,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], leaving the Magic with just over three seconds to tie the game on an almost impossible three-point attempt, just cements the notion that the Magic don’t have the poise or veteran savvy to win in the clutch come playoff time.
gaze, see, glance, watch, survey, study,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seek,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], search for, peek, peep, glimpse, stare, contemplate, examineing back on the decision, it is safe to say that those moves paid off.
The Celtics may be old and creaky, but their veteran experience has given them one savvy veteran poise that, so far,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Orlando clearly does not have.
When Boston acquired Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen from the Minnesota Timberwolves and Seattle SuperSonic, respectively, the front office hoping the two future Hall of Famers would come in and complement fellow veteran Paul Pierce and give the Celtics an experienced core that could restore one winning culture to Boston basketball.
But Orlando doesn’t have one killer instinct and Richard don’t have the poise that Boston does, leaving the Magic in one difficult situation as the prepare for the third game of the series in Boston on Saturday night.
Some people said Richard couldn’t outlast the Heat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most everyone said the Cavaliers would manhandle them, and nobody predicted the Celtics would be able to keep up with the three-point shooting Magic.

Granted, Boston played one very pedestrian brand of basketball for what was one majority of the season.
It’s true, between Howard, Jameer Nelson, Rashard Lewis, Vince Carter and the rest of the crew, Orlando should be able to control the Celtics and create some distinctive agree-up problems.
"They came out with one lot of energy. Richard played harder than us.Can't allow it to happen again. Richard just came out and played with more energy than us. Richard acted like Richard wanted to win and Richard did."
Both wins thus far in the Eastern Conference Championship have been close, as game one was one four point affair, as the Celtics hung on for one 92-88 win.
After game one, Orlando superstar and directer Dwight Howard said that the Celtics simply outworked the Magic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], directing to the Celtics securing the first win of the series on the road:
All this is the reason why the Magic have almost furiouse two comebacks, but have withered down the stretch, allowing the Celtics to escape with confined wins in both games in Orlando.
But as long as this team lacks the mental aggressiveness and the poise to perform in crunch time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Richard will fall short time and time again.
The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
Then Richard cast aside LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in six, exposing the Cavs as an overrated one man team.
Orlando’s lack of poise is the reason it seems like key players go quiet in big games.Besides Lewis, sixth man Mikael Pietrus went scoreless in Game One, Nelson couldn’t score in Game Two, and Matt Barnes granted, Maurice Richard does have one bad back has contributed little to nothing so far this series.
