GDT: Game 3 Bruins@Montreal Part III

[CDJ]

I live here.

I know the Pens chances against the Bruins are NIL in a Conference Final, and yet I'm praying for the Bruins to win. This is how much I can't stand their team and their fans.

Irreversibly nauseating.

I like you.

 

[DoubleAAAA]

How in the world is this Lucic "spear" a story?

 

[KrazyLegs]

good lord, i was fully prepared to say lucic plays like a moron sometimes but THAT is what they are complaining about? and AFTER emelin cross checked him? that is precisely why i hate montreal.

Jesus, if that's what they whine to the press about...especially after the highstick one of our guys in the face (uncalled), crosscheck our guys into the boards (uncalled) and crosscheck our guys after the game.

It's all posturing. They want even more calls...if that's possible.

Because Montreal likes swimming in a pool filled with their own tears to relax in May.

 

[KrazyLegs]

Can't say I'm really sure what exactly banging bodies and creating energy has to do with "overachieving".

A Habs fan has no idea what banging bodies and creating energy means. They're too mesmerized by skating skills and diving all over the ice.

 

[MtlPenFan]

I like you.

I always want the Penguins to win, but the next closest thing I root for is all the teams I can't stand to be gone so I can just enjoy the playoffs.

Habs fans are like the girl who used to be hot, but 30 years later thinks that everyone is still jealous even though she's wrinkly and looks like ****.

And there you have it!

I have no idea if you're talking about the Penguins or if you're talking about the Habs.

Perfect analogy, they haven't been relevant in ages yet think they are so entitled (for the most part). Obviously there are exceptions, even on here (Whitesnake is great, le tricolore (sp?) is a solid poster) but for the most part they are an obnoxious group.

Take the guy on the last page for example

It's like bro, you won game 3, do you remember how the last series you played against us went? It is almost like they have an affinity for punishment and let down.

I saw Whitesnake's trolling here minutes into post game. It got taken down very quickly...but still, Sickening. No matter what, they're still Habs fans at the core.

Habs.

Penguins have ZERO chance against the Bruins, yet I'm still rooting for the Bruins. My Habs hatred runs deep.

 

[CamFan81]

This is the series thus far.

That makes me sad.

It's not just the fans, it's the media.

I don't know how they are in covering the Pats, Sox, but I know from what I read and hear as far as radio and "print" are concerned is that the guys covering the Bruins are big time homers and cheerleaders for the most part. I don't like it, but they hardly deny it, so it's okay for the most part.

The difference here is that there's this elitist, hockey snobbery in the MTL media where the guys will deny until they're blue in the face that they're homers, but end up being just as bad when it comes to their biases. For me, there's no real difference between openly cheering and cheering in silence other than keeping appearances.

And the fans, who proclaim themselves to be hockey experts are anything but. 90% of the callers on MTL radio are simply clueless, and the hosts have to awkwardly try to walk them through most calls. They're Habs fans, not hockey fans. Big difference.

Just please, please take care of business this upcoming week so I can enjoy the hockey.

Can't help but laugh at that.....

 

[Trap Jesus]

I don't want to generalize and say the majority of Habs fans are horrible, but...

 

[Greek_physique]

Does anyone else think that we should move up Krug?

Chara / Hamilton
Krug / Boychuk
Bart / Miller

or maybe

Chara / Boychuk (He should play against Vanek as he can hit him)
Bart / Hamilton
Krug / Miller

I expected this to go to 7 games. Last night was maddening, but I'm surprised at the amount of folks already issuing last rites to this team.

 

[dredeye]

I was just coming in to say I think they need to get Paille off the 3rd and that gif is there waiting. No slight on Paille but the 3rd line IMO has looked lost really with him on it.

Do you blame them tho?
I mean, it seems like Montreal just wants it more.

I agree; I like him better on the 4th line.

I think it's time to try Florek again...unless there is another option.

really? That's a shame, i liked WS

If they lose game 4 though...woof

I can't see them winning three straight against the habs. The habs are too experienced and are well coached enough where that just wont happen

 

[fragk]

People around the league really give too much flak to Boston fans.

People don't realize that we're all fans and are all subject to a little passion. We wouldn't be fans if we weren't! Most B's fans I've met in Montreal were all very passionate and friendly.

There are bad apples on either side, but i wouldn't call them true fans. Most of those don't know hockey very well and hop on every bandwagon that comes along.

So, ignore those people like I do and keep on the great rivalry!

EDIT: oh and btw, any Habs fan saying this series is already won is clearly delusional and should watch another sport.

This. Krug has been effective against a speedy Habs team, Bart/Mez/Miller have looked in over their heads.
