The reality is something else.
- They are racist. Fans throwing bananas at black players. Not voting for Iggy for the Hart.
- 15 of their 24 cups came in a 6 team league.
- 2 of their cups were during WW2 when they sent fewer player to the war effort than any other team.
- Their most "legendary" player, Maurice Richard had his best years during WW2 when many of the best players were overseas fighting Nazis.
- Prior to the start of the NHL draft they got to sign every French speaking player automatically where the rest were divided between 5 teams.
- Claude Lemieux intentionally tripped Vernon in the game 6 finals leading to a MTL goal.
I hate the Montreal Canadiens. I'm glad I got to got to the mall that paved under the Montreal Forum and take a dump in the bathroom located over the Canadiens goal. |
Lol, so much hate. No one wanted to go to war more than Richard, he couldn’t pass the physical. The French speaking player thing is also myth. One fan throws a banana and they’re all racist? Be careful of the province you’re from. Iggy didn’t win the Hart because Calgary missed the playoffs. Theodore’s name was left off 4 ballots vs 1 for Iggy.
