Are you seriously saying that all of the vocal Habs fans are with them year round? I'm not buying that, personally.

I've been "on the bandwagon" since birth. there was no Edmonton or Calgary when I was a kid. There was Montreal and Toronto. My Dad cheered for the Canadiens, so did I. I've been rabid about them for my 4+ decades. They've won a whopping 2 Cups in 35 years and I'm still cheering for them. They hired a beer salesman and a colour commentator to run the team, they went on to trade the best goalie in the world for a bag of used jockstraps. I'm still cheering for them. Nothing short of Quebec separating will change this.
