Further To Which

April 22, 2008 @ 08:26

The irony is almost too delicious.

A favourite past time of Montreal hockey fans is to mock Leaf fans for street celebrations after winning playoff series.

Oh yea, during that long stretch when the Canadiens were missing the playoffs, Hab fans made a big point of laughing in our faces because Leaf fans filled the streets and honked horns after winning a something as insignificant as a Conference semi-final.

What a joke.

Last night the Canadiens completed a seven game struggle with the eighth seed Boston Bruins and what happens? There are riots in the streets.

A first round victory over a team they were expected to easily beat, and Montreal fans take to the street and among other things, torched five police cars while looting several stores.

Tens of thousands of Montrealers have had to move to Toronto over the past few years for economic, political and cultural reasons - thank goodness we got the civilized ones.

No wonder Montreal is becoming nothing more than a backwoods hick town.

I knew this was coming. BTW, I just posted something and it never posted. Might want to check with your Quebec I.T guy. Serge must still be drinking this morning.
I never understood how Leaf fans celebrated an early round victory. And now, with this embarrassing display in downtown Montreal last night, it is pretty clear in this fan's mind. The reason you are witnessing early celebrations is this. As an Italian Montrealer I've figured out this much. IN Toronto, after every World Cup Soccer victory, fans would spread out in the streets of the city to celebrate their nationality, their favorite game and love for their respective culture. In soccer, there is no best of 7. Every victory is cause for celebration because there might not be another game or series. This mentality has spilled into hockey. That's pretty much it! Celebrate now cause there might be no tomorrow..especially if you're a Leafs fan!

"No wonder Montreal is becoming nothing more than a backwoods hick town."
100% true, but in it's current state, Toronto is the next train going down that same track.

Lohan Will Go to Rehabilitate Today. Practical selection in any case being in rehab would mean she does not break her bail conditions and be thrown in gaol until the case. If at a hearing her exclusive violation was in fact determined to remain the 1 failed substance test then this sentence needs to be thirty days in prison that's it.
