How cool is this?

Viggo Mortenson, a long-time fan, reveals he wore a classic Canadiens logo T-shirt under his Aragorn breastplate throughout the making of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. “It gave me just a little more power with the sword,” he says.

DRIVEN wonders (wishes, anyhow): Is Viggo actually holding a hockey stick in that LOTR photo at the top of this post?

The above quote was excerpted from Ryan’s preview of The Montreal Canadiens: 100 Years, 100 Stars, a by-all-reports-stellar CBC documentary about hockey’s greatest team. No debate on the ‘great’, my friends: the Habs have won the Stanley Cup more than any other team in NHL history, 24 times, not to mention the fact that they also hold the Cup record for most consecutive wins, at five.

Per the team’s latest official slogan: “L’histoire se joue ici” (roughly, History is played out here). Indeed.
