  1. I want Boston to win because of the draft pick. 
     

    At this point I think Florida would give Toronto a harder time. 
     

    Plus the mere thought of Toronto being able to slay another one of their nemesis’ might make them invincible, like the ‘04 Red Sox after they came back from being down 0-3 to the Yankees.

    What is happening in Toronto? LOL

     

    3-0 after the first…hopefully the bolts sweep 🧹 the series 


    Watching them get booed off the ice at the end of the 1st put such a smile on my face.

  3. I want nothing more than the leafs to die in the most gruesome way possible. 
     

    However, Tampa seems to be ready to be taken down. 

     

    That being said, they are a well marinated team. 
     

    And teams like that seem to be able to dial it up 3 notches when it counts. 
     

    Fingers crossed.

    Yes, indeed. I recall hearing things along these lines at the street level in Montreal from guys connected to the Montreal Portuguese community back in the day. I didn’t make too much of it at the time, since there are always rumours of various sorts around local celebrities; but certainly it’s of a piece with the “behavioural” question marks that have always followed Ribs around. Yuck.


    Ran into him plenty of times at Gallery on st-Laurent in his prime.  Usually on Sunday nights. 
     

    He was a hot mess then and a hot mess he remains. 
     

    Cocky, arrogant and entitled.

    One of MB’s basic flaws as a manager was to run his show as a private mafia where what mattered above all was loyalty to him. Thus, he kept that blithering jackanapse Lefebvre in place for five years (!!) despite his proven incompetence - God knows what damage ensued to our player development- and hired that dimwit Therrien and then held on to him long past his best-by date. He also allowed personal animus to contaminate player decisions (Subban) and erred in the other direction as well, seemingly being only too happy to embrace crushing contracts for ‘his’ players in Price, Weber, and Gally.

     

    Crapping all over the heads of Habs alumni - the greatest alumni in the game - is consistent with this power-maximizing mafioso attitude to leadership. It had to be His Show and damn the consequences. No other voices, no other variables allowed.


    if I had a dollar every time Cuccumber made me google a word I’d be rich.

    Well, the truth is, the Habs have not been up to snuff. Think back to the Patches/Subban days (2012-2015), the rivalry was pretty intense. It was also super intense during the Gainey rebuild, tipping decisively in Boston's favour when Lucic smashed Komisarek's face. Any time Montreal and Boston are anywhere near competitive with each other, the greatest rivalry in the game renews itself. 

     

    Montreal-Toronto has been an artificial rivalry for decades now, mostly fueled by media bullcrap and our universal and entirely justified loathing of the Toronto hype machine. In 2021 we did catch a glimpse of the real thing - the playoff round - but because the core players from that run all went away the following year, there was no chance for a bona-fide rivalry to take seed and grow from there.  

     

    I have major respect for Boston as a great, historic opponent over the years. Don't get me wrong, being beaten by them makes me want to puke, but I respect them.

     

    Toronto, I have no respect for whatsoever. I mean, I respect the formidable talent on that squad - but I have no respect at all for the organization or the media and fan ecosystem around it. No amount of suffering and humiliation is too good for them. I just wish we were in a position to mete it out. But as long as it's meted out - year after year, for all eternity - then I'm happy.


    As someone who now lives in Connecticut i couldn’t agree any more.

    I see them going after one of the two buffalo college kids.... Levi or Portillo

     

    Would be a little more advanced than an 18 year old. 

     

    I figure they also will use at least one pick on a goalie.  I'd do that every year, draft a goalie in the late rounds (doesn't have to be a 2nd like suggested, that seems too high) and just see what happen.s 

     

    Any chance they sign Yaniv Perets?
