The math might help:

24 Shiney Silver Trophies for the Blue, White and Red team. Us.

13 Shiney Silver Trophies for the Blue and White team. Them.

Twenty Four to Thirteen.

24 Montreal -13 Toronto

We draft John LeClair - They draft Gary Yaremchuk...etc.

Winner, us. Loser, them.

WOW...no harm, I guess...although if it happens again you should probably have him assessed for glasses, hearing aids, literacy, numeracy and attention deficit!!! LOL!!!

Well done, NHF. You should come up with a mantra for your young son to repeat over & over again. After a while, it willl be sunken so deep in his psyche that he'll never relinquish it. Maybe something like "The Montreal Canadiens are the embodiment of a successful professional sports franchise and are to be venerated above all others".

Or maybe "Go Habs Go!".

Hopefully Harper doesn't impose a law that states we all have to be Flamers (being from Calgary and all.)

He was probably refering to the clouds over Toronto and them having to call the army just in case it snows. No difference as in we both had to call the army

actually they have only won 11, which is still the second most of any team...

and what is more sad is that they haven't won in 39 years...

during that time, since the NHL expanded to what is now 30 teams, the habs have won 10 cups. More than any other team during that time and only one less than what has taken the leafs about 80 years to accomplish.

Simply the most successful, dominating team in North American pro sports.

Indeed....and the Yankees sure didn't play in a six-team league at any point.

Actually, for a while I think they were in pretty much a two team league - The Yankees and everyone else.

At least your little one would listen to reason. While my 9 year-old and 7 year-old root for the Habs, my 4 year-old informed me during one of the Habs-Leafs games that he wants to play for the blue and white team BECAUSE I want him to play for the Red team. His mother informed him that he will now have to move out of our house.

Before anyone reads too much into the fact that I want my kids to play for the Habs, my oldest boy doesn't play hockey, the middle boy, well, he has fun (which is most important to me) and the youngest seems interested, but he is interested in Hot Wheels for five minutes, then Elmo for five, a computer game for ten, then back to Hot Wheels, etc.. As great as it would be for them to play at a high level, I'm not making counting or expecting it.
