kaos Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 So what makes these rankings any better than TSN's or SI's or anybody elses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mont Royale Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yes! Finally some rankings biased in our favour! I'd like to think these ranking would cause controversy on other fans' boards... the only trouble is that most fans of other teams won't know about or bother surfing to a French website to see them. Too bad. Thanks, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgodo Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I don't think you meant 'biased'. That suggests that the rankings are manipulated for our benefit. Much in the same way TSN muddles their rankings to make laff fans happy. Montreal 3rd? There is no bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 *coughoverratedcough* Too many close games to be put up that high, in my opinion. We have a goalie who's playing hot and cold, and a second line that's hit or miss at the moment. We've stolen a few games that we didn't deserve and haven't seen the opposite happen. Top-10, sure, but top-three? Not yet. Too many kids and too unproven. We're for real, but we're not huge Cup contenders yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebehabs Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 well i remind u guys that the ranking is on a weekly basis... so it might change as for NOW, we just won 4 game in a row so... why not top 3??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'd be more than happy to have the Habs ranked 16th on some stupid ######ing ranking system, and have them winning 12 out of 15 games, then them sitting at 3rd overall on some stupid ######ing ranking system and have them only win 7 or 8 games like Boston was or Toronto or whoever the hell is was ranked higher. WHo honestly cares. The Habs are winning that thats all the matters. The board that I hope there number 1 on is the scoreboard. THat means first place in the division and a playoff spot. ###### the other ranking systems. Let the Habs be underrated. Its all the more fun when they kick peoples asses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~moeman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Until tsn can justify slagging the Habs their rankings are rank. :ghg: [Edited on 2005/11/9 by ~moeman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously all rankings are sort of fun to look at but I'm getting sort of tired of them, the real ranking is the standings, otherwise news orgs pander to fans and pump up their home team, unfortunately too many "national" Canadian networks seem to think Canada is located right between Mississauga and Scarborough... :eyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
