IF I remember this right it was written in Hockey magazine called Pro Hockey(which is Swedish magazine and it issues here in Finland too) there was reference to Habs bad luck and reason was that Bell Centre was build on old indian cemetery.

Were there any protests and/or riots prior to the building of the bell centre??

Didn't the Voyageurs actually trade with the natives while the Brits shot 'em up? They should be getting some good luck out of that, no?

Of course not. What I said was that the French Voyageurs actually traded, bartered and co-existed with the native people, while the British shot the sh*t out of them. If there is in fact an indian cemetary under the Bell Centre, then maybe the ghosts will bring the building some luck because of the realtionship between the French settlers and the native people. Hasn't worked for the Habs to date so maybe the rumour is bunk.

Yes, it is built on a Native resting ground.

Do you know that for a fact? If it's true, I dunno, maybe I've seen too many bad american movies, but I think it's terrible. It's no wonder the ghosts of the Forum have been having trouble moving over, the place was already inhabited by ghosts...
