Ya, Johab, must be fun. Our local paper (the Acadie Star or something like that in my corner of Dieppe) has cover stories of the local junior high badminton players. And in 3 colours (black, white and green...the official colours of l'Acadie.) But, I agree. Montreal isn't Montreal without NHL Hockey. Sadly, no one really misses the Expos, but should anything happen to the Habs, I think most people would leave the city.

Me too. Especially Coco LaBoy.

I see Marquis Grissom retired yesterday. He was one of my favourites too.

I also miss the Expos, miss going to the Big O and catching a game, the atmosphere in the Rogers Centre just isn't the same.

Didn't Warren Cromartie play for the Expos? I watched this guy hit a HR off of Jeff Reardon (when he was closing for the Sox). Cromartie had just returned from playing ball in Japan for a number of years. He was with Kansas City and took The Terminator deep. That's the closest I ever got to the Expos.

Yes, Cro was an Expo. He was a good one, too, in his day.

There have been a few players over the years who have played for Montreal and the BoSox - Spaceman Lee and Dennis Martinez immediately come to mind.

Cromartie was my favourite player when I first started watching. Too bad he went to Japan. Anyone remember the Cro-bar? A chocolate bar they'd give out/sell once in a while...
