Can I Just Mention The Canadiens.
regardless of the title of my blog, i have to mention my Montreal Canadiens. they are chasing down the senators like cheetahs on the prowl and there is no longer a doubt in my mind that they will catch them. with the oustanding play of our young rookies and sophmores to the reinvention of a superstar like Mr. Kovalev these guys get what it means to be a team and everything they do is for the team and thats why they are winning. as long as they don't cry like Dandenault when he was benched for 2 games they should be alright. this being said, i will somehow relate it to the title of my blog. so it seems that the Canadiens will in fact make the playoffs. what i hate about that is all these people who all of a sudden are fans of the bleu blanc et rouge even though they did not follow the entire season. if you cant handle the team being crap you don't deserve to celebrate when they are good. thats my opinion. my friends and i have follwed the canadiens practically since we've been born. we had the highs 1993....not that i remember much about it. but we were there for the lows that were to follow till the slight highs with the Jose Theodore lead habs of the early 2000's. and we can spot these phonies a million miles away, always asking dumb questions, questions about the past that any decent hockey fan would know, saying the most obvious of statistics because you just saw it in the gazette that day. your favourite player being the one who is most liked by the city at that moment or the hero of the game the night before. you are not a fan, don't pretend to be one. if you aren't then i don't care i wont like you any less but if you aren't and you try to be then you are just humiliating yourself and disrespecting the Canadiens as well. they need their fans when they are down in the dumps so that they know that this city is still supporting them and when they rise up like now they know that those fans that were with them during the lows will definately be there for the highs and they don't need (or we the real fans) don't need imposters that are riding the wave of our beloved team just for a good time. this is a sport, this is a game and loyalty counts, there is no room for phonies..and come playoff time don't let me catch you with one of those flags on your car unless you really follow the Canadiens and would do anything to see them win.

I'd say that's a pretty relevant post. I can't stand bandwagoners. Granted, I'll admit that back when we were sucking rocks I was a little ashamed, but I still followed the team with (slightly less) pride and hoped (prayed?) for a win or a chance in the playoffs.
And when things got really bad, I'd just remind myself, no matter what happens, the Leaf(ve)s suck even more. Canada's team, my ass.
thanks christine...i know i can always count on your comments to back up what i say. ya the leafs suck and its always fun to see them lose. thanks for reading.
if there werent phonies they wouldnt be able to sell enough tickets to support the team... therefore... u should be thanking the phonies for their support in allowing the team to survive
think about it.. im sure the expos had those tru fans who were there the same way u claim to be there for the habs.. but as u can see... once the phonies decided to stop even pretending to support the team, the team dissolved and disappeared from montreal history... sooo congrats! by trying to call out the phonies u may be pushing away your favorite thing in the world!
hey shlomo...that is total bullshit, baseball is one thing, this is hockey. in montreal hockey is life that would never happen,,,i stick to my guns
SHLOMO, do you know how hard it is to get season tickets to the Montreal Canadiens. Seats and games are sold out every time. i doubt that phonies would invest thousands of dollars to buy season tickets to something they dont really appreciate. The phonies are the people that are invited to the games or givin tickets by the people who own the seats. The phonies are the people who walk out of the arena with a jersey, head-band, flag, and empty bag of pop-corn for memories. The phonies are the people who go to the first game in last 2-3 years cause they were "invited" and then put on their msn name "how amazing the game was!".
PLEASE!!!!, with the Canadiens history, we dont need phonies to keep the habs alive. I disagree with your "statement".
