The Habs are a uniting element of the culture here that provide a common ground for all generations of anglos, francos, quebecois & immigrants to celebrate together.

The Habs are everything I think of and I think most Americans (hockey fans) think of when they think about Canada’s love of hockey. It’s a shame other Canadian cities and fanbases can’t match the passion, but I think they lift Canada’s hockey reputation up for everyone on this side of the border.
