I completely get what you're saying and agree. It's definitely there but it all depends on the context you give it as a fan which is why not every fan will have the same opinion on who they dislike the most as a rival. While some of your Habs fans seem to think that we're just really stuck in decades back and are obsessed with your team and fanbase while they could care less about us, they need to realize that there are probably FAR more Montrealers that move to Toronto to settle down (and bring their Habs allegiance with them) than there are Torontonians that move to Montreal and settle down. Every Habs fan I know living in Leafs territory hate the Leafs.They are not irrelevant to those Habs fans as some of your fellow Habs fans suggest. And I would wager that living in Leafs territory is a big reason for that. Similarly, as a local, when the other guy is coming in and gloating about his team's victory of your local team, would it not create a desire for you to do reciprocate in kind when your team beats his?
I would suspect that that plays a huge part in why the Sens hate us (and for the record, I care a lot more about beating the Sens than I do the Habs and I know that not every Leafs fan would agree with me). Hell, if I'm being honest, in my mind, the Leafs best rivalry is currently sitting in the Western Conference and will be returning to us next season.
Well, he has to blame his crap play on something. Imagine if it would have been Reimer who coughed up those goals.
I'll go out on a limb here and I'll vouch for LyricalLyricist as a good Habs fan.
Last year, I went on a tirade in the Political forums because out of the blue some Montrealers were arrogantly dissing Toronto and Torontonians thumping their chests claiming they're the best city in the country for no particular reason blah blah blah etc. However, when I decided to give all of those jack***es a piece of my mind, LL was the only level headed Habs fan in the thread not taking shots at the city of Toronto, saying how he loved both cities, and attempting to see things from both points of views. Now I admit, I probably went a tad overboard with my comments towards MTL in that thread which would of made any self-respecting Montrealers blood boil, but he kept his composure and didn't succumb to the potshots both fanbases were dishing out to each other...and for that, he has my respect.
I wish most Habs fan were as level-headed as him.
We have our share of nutcases as well that I'm sure leaves other fanbases saying the same thing about us when they come across a level headed Leafs fan
But... but... we were assured by fans of many other teams that he would fail under Carlyle's system.

Habs rationale for losing:
Price has new pads and the ref sucked.
They ignore the fact that the scoring chances were 15-5 for the leafs.
Habs only do good because they assembled a good PP unit and dive to get continuous PP's. If they didn't dive, they would be a bubble team.

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
Hell will freeze over before (most) Habs fans EVER give credit to an opposing team for soundly beating the crap out of their team, especially the Leafs.
You're very welcome. Now how about returning the favour?
Sadly we don't play those ******** again during the regular season.
If you get those ******** in round one you will have the entire Bruins fan base cheering you guys on

No, it should have been a minor for boarding. It was was penalty, just the wrong consequence.
When all else fails, blame it on an equipment malfunction.
Andrew Ference did when he "accidently" flipped off the crowd in Montreal a few years ago
Hey it worked for us, we all believe him.

No problemo - one good turn deserves another - now go out there and take first place from them already - we don't want any part of you in the 1st rd
We're working on it but we've been really struggling the past month or so.

Offseason Is The Worst Season
Its just they can't deal with teams that skate as well/better than them. Overall, they have unreal puck movement and puck support. Our defense just did a great job keeping them to the outside as usual and our offense was too fast for them.

Only time the guy landed anything was when McLaren was down (when most guys don't throw punches).
