I don't even know how I'd structure the issues I have. However there is one thing I just can't let go.
How in the bloody hell can someone say the Montreal Canadiens fans are a bunch of bandwagon jumpers?
The team is winning the city is buzzing, the team is losing you still can't get tickets with a rocking Bell Centre.
How many sports teams have university courses analyzing their fandom? http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=263480
Or have books written breaking down how the fandom of the team parallels a relgious fanaticism?

If the Montreal Canadiens fans are a bunch of bandwagon jumpers, holy sweet moses this board is full of fair weather, poser, pretend sports fan wannabes for the Calgary Flames. |
It was one of the more head-scratching accusations I've ever read in this forum, for sure.
