I respected them when they were great ('70s) but once those flukey teams ('80s) came aboard they annoyed me no end. Doesn't help I was huge B's fan back then but to finally beat the dopey Mike McPhees was glorieux.
Anyway, fans in Mtl are fantastic. It's growing up out here on the West Coast surrounded by Hab fans that was annoying.
To be honest, they need to stretch this current Cup drought to 30 years to see how the other 90% of us feel. So far we are halfway there as it's been 16 seasons and counting since '93.
