To all those "tankers"
In My Opinion, you aren't really a fan of this team.
You can't WANT to see your team lose, I don't care if it's for the number 1 pick.
1 pick will not turn around the issues with this organization, starting with its philosophy on how to build a winner.
It's call PRIDE...... sad enough that management and the players son't seem to have enough of it.... but Fans too is truly pathetic.
Like I said ... my opinion.
To you,
I'm a Montreal Canadiens fan. I stand behind this ORGANIZATION AND TEAM ITSELF at all times. The good and the bad. However, you can 'NOT LIKE AND SUPPORT" this edition of players and staff. The Montreal Canadiens will always be remain there, but the players and the staff changes with time. Doesn't make you a band wagon fan if you're not happy with what the ACTUAL people in the organization are doing right now. PRIDE is when the present edition of your team is having success and representating well its history. Do you really think that Guy Lafleur has a lot of pride right now watching the Habs play night in night out right now? We have lost the mentality of WINNERS. Pacioretty is not worthy of the Captaincy. This is why I look forward to the future, to what we might pick as a lottery pick. That player can help us go in a better direction. If the coach gets kick out and good trades and signings are made, we will be proud of our team. But as of right now, there's nothing to be proud of. This team is lost, in al its ways.
Believe, I'm a true fan of this team, the Montreal Canadiens. It's simple, I root when the team wins, and I root when the team loses. Either way, Stanley Cup or Lottery pick, not in between. Because everybody knows we own teh 14th position year in year out. It gives us either a 1st round playoffs exit or a Louis Leblanc and Kyle Chipchura.
