All you Bruins fans cheering for the Habs, shame on you. I get the hate for the Leafs but you just can't cheer for the Habs. It's just not allowed. Take the none of the above option.
As insufferable as the Leafs and their fans are, have you all forgotten that the Canadiens have won twenty-five of THIRTY-FOUR series? Including SEVEN (7) Stanley Cup Final wins against the Bruins??? Too many men on the ice? The 2016 Winter Classic? Anyone?
What have the Maple Leafs ever done to the Bruins? Not much.
To paraphrase an old Cold War saying about the Soviet Union that I’m applying to the Habs - “shake hands, but count your fingers afterwards.” There’s too much history to forget who the Bruins’ true rival really is. Too much heartbreak. What about all the abuse Bruins fans north of the border have endured because of that team? Leafs fans can’t say shit and they know it. Montreal is a different story.
I’m not rooting for either team, and I hope they beat the bag out of each other. I couldn’t clap for Toronto even if I wanted to because I’ll be holding my nose while I watch. Hoping for Leafs in 7 in quintuple OT.*
*If Montreal wins, I want a Bruins - Canadiens Stanley Cup Final where the Bruins annihilate the Habs in four massively lopsided games. The deciding goal in Game 4 is accidentally kicked into the net by Carey Price early in the first period, and the Bruins smash the Habs 11-0. Edit: Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and Taylor Hall all score hat tricks.
