I cant get happiness from their being a bad team... I dont want to ever see them succeed, but my enjoyment comes when WE BEAT THEM
I think it would be disappointing if Columbus didnt make the playoffs... but I feel a bit disappointed montreal isnt there. I guess the 1 team I didnt care was Carolina. Surge not withstanding, they bore me.
hope tampa draws Columbus now... would love to see tampa knocked out of our way. a hot goaltender and some desperate guys playing for contracts might give tampa a run for the money

What's predictable, and what's hilarious: Those effers were the class of the league, and had the run of it thanks to a few rules (sic) forever. They were great. They beat the B's, routinely, in heartbreaking fashion. That was true.
If I hated Canadiens in the '70s, it was because they were so far above everyone else.
Their arrogant fans & media, superior in their perennial winning, were secure. French Canada very much sticking it to their Anglo overlords. So much of the matter is rooted in that conflict. Recall the "Richard Riot" (1955)
Sinden: "God, taxes, and the first penalty against in Montreal."
Post '88 and '93, non.
What you've had since: the underside of arrogance. Incessant whining, fanatical -- and that is the proper word -- fanatical -- grievance from a fan base no longer elite.
I have sincere, great respect for the tradition of the Montreal Canadiens. I doff my chapot to their historical excellence. Many of my hockey heroes played there.
Still, eat it.

Number cruncher.
Bet you love those fancy stats. But, your avatar avers you're okay.
I concede part of me will miss them in the playoffs - but now let's take care of Toronto and be the ONLY O6 team in Round 2
As noted, I'm a Julien fan. He will likely go.
What's mystifying to me is the run of bad GM luck the Canadiens have had, over several years.
To me, these were good hockey minds. It will be interesting to see which way MTL goes.
Would only add, with ownership in Ottawa as prime example at present (and Jacobs, Wirtz, and Norris in the past), "A fish rots from the head."
EM is the worst owner in the NHL. Awful, awful b*stard. Deserves every bad turn he receives.
As noted in another context, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
"Welcome to Ottawa!"

Such a shame they're wasting Carey Price's prime years. 
At least he gets almost $11M to spend in the summertime

Me too.
I kinda hoped that they might eke into the playoffs so Bergevin could keep his job
I actually hold no ill will toward management, coaching, or even players. It's the fans & media I detest.
It will be interesting to see where the franchise goes.

I'm not ecstatic at their demise as I have been in years past, and for multiple reasons.
As John Tortorella noted, rivalries in today's less physical game aren't what they used to be. I have definitely noted a dip in personal animosity toward the B's past rivals.
In addition, the current Habs team is nowhere near as unlikable as the 2011 and 2014 squads, who dove and embellished like none other.
I'm also a big Claude Julien fan and think he did a masterful job with the hand he was dealt.

The team showed improvement and they didn't quit.
The one knock they have on Julien is in a down to the wire chase for a playoff spot he has a track record of just missing.
Montreal also has the problem that the GM and Coach MUST be fluent in French. I personally don't think the language is as much of an issue as it was even 20 years ago but the culture is still there.
I am just waiting to hear from @BMC and @Gee Wally on this development - and @HockeyGoddess must be distraught
But I do feel the pain of some of the good Habs fans like @Whitesnake
