classy.


way to go montreal. Took less than a week for the team and fans to go from unfortunate victims, to winners of the game, to rightfully wronged...to dragging it on and making fools of themselves.

I can honestly say, if this happened to a player on my team, i'd be upset and annoyed, but by no means would i be throwing blame everywhere and being retarded about it.


Somehow I expected people from Montreal to actually know what hockey is. I'm shocked, but whatever.

in a contact sport you are trying to wreck a person everytime you hit them. when i wrestled and played football my intention was to hurt my opponent(not injure). I would hit them in the way that accomplished my goal, whether it was a take down or a tackle, in the most painful way possible. You rarely want to see some one actually have a severe injury, and always feel a lil bit guilty about it, but you have to realize they are trying to wreck your shit as well.


move on folks, if this turns you off to the game then good riddance, the sport doesnt need you as a fan. Instead of blaming the players, why not make the playing surface safer by not having the glass start abruptly, but instead come back to the boards at an angle?

dont blame someone for making an aggressive paly.

Habs fan are doing what needs to be done. Yes, hockey is a contact sport but doesn't  mean they have to smash their faces ontoo fences. I've seen media talk about it for a while.. all those head and back hits ... seriously Im watching hockey to see some pros play hockey not to see peoples get hurt. NHL must change their rules or something srsly....

(oh and btw sry im drunk and french canadian threre may be some mistakes)

I was just watching a hockey show in Canada and they were talking about planning on taking 6 or so NHL teams out, putting a few in CA, like Quebec and winnipeg etc. Maybe HARTFORD?!?

I'm confused. What?


And no... the NHL wont return to Hartford until they replace the XL centre. Nobodys going to do that until hockey fully recovers from the lockout. Hopefully the NFL and NBA lockout so that might happen.

Ok, so there are many teams (especially in the south) that are real sucky, or their fans dont go to games. Talks about Pheonix, Panthers, maybe lightning even, LA kings (?) and a couple more like that. Might get moved to different cities across N. America. Because the NHL doesn't mke money off those franchises.

Yeah, no shit.. this is a long-standing discussion... Phoenix, Atlanta, and Florida are about the only teams that might ever move anytime soon... Phoenix being the only no-brainer out of the bunch.

(no Idea where you came up with the Idea of the Kings moving... the NHL would never abandon the LA market, as its always done alright there since '67 when the NHL had its first expansion westward... Anaheim would move long before the Kings would... the Kings actually have a fanbase and sell out most of their games... they also hold precedance on the Staples Center over the Lakers and the Clippers who they share it with... That, and the Kings are actually really fucking good)

I think the hit would have been clean if Pacioretty would have had the puck and if it had happened anywhere else on the ice. But I'm pretty sure Chara knew what he was doing, I just don't think he really took the time to think about the possible consequences of his check.

Lol... just read my post that I rolled up in the Official NHL thread if you want to know anything about expansion/relocation of teams...

It's record-setting huge.

obviously not everyone in the world loves it, but to say there arent any casual fans is stupid. to be honest, i dont really know any hardcore fan, everyone i know who likes hockey would fall under the casual fan category. unless im misunderstanding what you mean by casual/hardcore fans

that's quite possibly the dumbest thing Ive ever heard.  What seperates a casual fan from a hardcore fan in hockey...?

"hockey is like skiing just bc you love it doesnt mean the rest of the world gives a shit"

More like the whole country of canada REALLY REALLY gives a shit about hockey, and the states for a good portion, as well as alot of europe.

Compared to skiing, where the world ACTUALLY doesn't give a shit.

no, in the end it comes to habs fans acting like fucking retards and being dramatic.

how can you take a fan base seriously when they boo for a penalty every time a habs player gets knocked off the puck?

Is this actually the case? Yeah so good luck with that. Chara won't do anything other than hire a lawyer and have it struck and get costs. Hopefully he hires us; that'd be an easy couple thou in fees.
