Pride, Tradition and all that B.S. as quoted by Gerry Cheevers after the Canadiens had beaten the Bruins in 1971.
How many series can Montreal win .... when they are badly outplayed .... outclassed .... basically run over, .... but still find some magical way of coming out the winner?
1971 .... if not for Dryden .... Boston destroys Montreal a minimum of 4-1 .... The Canadiens had NO business winning that series .... out played .... out hit .... out everything ....
Against Chicago in the final .... WHAT???? .... a fluke goal decides it . ....
1973 .... Everything falls into place for another championship ....
1986 .... Another year when everything seems to line up .... and Patrick Roy .... I would have loved to see him face Edmonton ....
1993 .... Are you serious? How did Montreal weasel into this title?
When was it? 2001/02? .... Theodore absolutely robs the Bruins from sure victory after his crappy team deserves nothing less than a complete bi##h slapping .... DaFoe is an even bigger joke in the Bruins net .... (If you outshoot the opposition 3-1 .... you should win the game) ....
The latest series with Washington makes me shake my head. The Capitals should have, and deserved to whip Montreal in 5 games or less. ANOTHER COMPLETELY UNDESERVED VICTORY.
What is it? Has there ever been another team in all of professional sports who have gone on to this level of undeserved success?
DO THEY HAVE A MYSTICAL ABILITY TO WIN GAMES (and even series and championships) THAT THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS EVEN BEING INVOLVED IN?
