Even against a pedestrian Rangers team that went two rounds where they went about their business bothering nobody the Habs have managed to make them look like a bunch of goons with their selft-pity, victim antics. I just can't stand it and want it to end ASAP.

I would extend this even further to the fanbase and media. Self entitled, arrogant, riot when they lose. Just all out annoyingness. The Habs truly are the french Canucks. Its always better to see them lose than win.
I will say this for the Habs, at least they do have a ridiculous number of Stanley Cups to back up the arrogance, unlike our friends to the west.
