Obviously someone has never watched a Minnesota Wild game (prior to this season)... but what's with all the MTL hate anyway? They're barely an NHL team IMO, their D corps is essentially Subban and Georges + 4 random dudes and I honestly wouldn't want a single forward from that squad on my team. They need a rebuild, a la the Edmonton Oilers.

They simply care too much about hockey. Until they learn that there are more valuable things in life than winning the first round of playoffs against an awful eighth-seeded team (a la 2008 riots), I'm going to cheer against them every single year.

Add to the fact that the fans are complete shitheads. They turn on their players like no other city in the world. Look at what happened to Patrick Roy, and he's arguably the best French Canadien goalie (if not best goalie hands-down) to play the sport. I've been critical of Pittsburgh fans that turn on our great players (Jagr being one of them), but at least we had the decency to give him a standing O when he hit his last career milestone, despite being a Ranger at the time.

They're just awful, awful people.

That is why.

Lol well in my eyes there's no way that you could ever care too much about hockey, but I pretty much agree with everything else you've said. Some Habs fans are some of the most ridiculous people I've ever met, and when it comes down to it their quickness to condemn their players is idiotic.

Habs fans are the worst. They should be petitioning outside their arena and calling 911 after that Pacioretty hit.

I hate the realignment. Clear disadvantage for the 8 team conferences and 4 making it in from each conference will see more undeserving teams make it and more deserving teams miss out. At least Boston is in a 7 team conference.

Anyone watching this year's 24/7 series. I think HBO has created the best thing TV has ever seen. Last year's was incredible and this year's first episode has not failed to please.

couldn't agree more.

[Thom Yorke]

Bryz is ****in hilarious. And I agree, Dan. I've always been interested to see behind the scenes of pro sports teams.

World Jrs. Woooooooooooooooo starts in 2 days anyone excited?

You're missing out if you haven't watched any of the playoffs this year.
