Do you need more proof?
I got this article from Paul my cousin. It is sad when Habs resort to stealing women's purses. Some probably think he was doing it for the money but I believe he was doing it because it matched his outfit. Here is the article:
Montreal Canadiens defenceman Ryan O'Byrne and forward Tom Kostopoulos were arrested outside of a Tampa nightclub early Monday morning.
O'Byrne is accused of stealing a women's purse, while Kostopoulos is accused of resisting an officer.
The incident began when a woman notified the bar's security officers that her purse was missing. The security officers noticed O'Byrne holding the purse and the women's cellphone outside the bar.
According to a report in the Tampa Tribune, O'Byrne told the officers that the purse belonged to his girlfriend, but police determined it belonged to the woman.
"Several associates, who were identified as National Hockey League players/members, crowded around the officers and police car," the police report states. "They were told numerous times to get away from the police car and not to interfere."
O'Byrne was charged with grand theft and Kostopoulos was charged with resisting the officers.
O'Byrne's bail was set at $2,000 and Kostopoulos' was set at $500 - both have been released.

The Slip and Grip
I know I'm a couple of days late posting this but wow. That was an amazing Superbowl. We had a party at the school with over 150 people attending and it was a blast. Let me set it straight:I hate New England and the Giants but I had to cheer for the Giants. The Slip and Grip play (those who saw the game know what I'm talking about) where Manning slipped from the grasp of several NE linemen and then the impossible catch falling backwards holding it to his helmet was perhaps the greatest play in Superbowl history. After New York scored their game winning touchdown I lead in the chants of 18 and 1, 18 and 1, 18 and 1. It was just so satisfying knowing that the already written book "19 and 0 the perfect season" would never make the shelves. Also the New Englands attempt to trade mark the phrase 19 and 0 would be for nothing. It is just so wonderful to see overhyped cocky braggarts brought down. (Now we have to keep working on the Hab fans we know. )

Sticks and Stones
I just watched the Canadian CTV movie Sticks and StonesIt is a retelling of the story of how a bunch of Hab Fans abused some American Pee Wee Hockey kids who were visiting Montreal. For those of you that don't remember this, several Hab fans threw rocks and hurled insults at a bus filled with American Pee Wee hockey players making several of them cry. (this is typical Hab fan behaviour) The movie focuses around another player from Fredericton who witnessed some of the abuse these kids were taking and organized a tournament in Fredericton to mend the relationship between our two countries. I've always thought it was great to know that there are Canadians out there that can make up the evil done by Canadiens who are Hab fans. It would be easy for me now to make fun of "the Gay Flower" (Guy Lafleur) and his troubles with the law but I actually feel bad for him. His son has had a lot of trouble with the law (again typical Hab fan behaviour) and he has been caught lying under oath to protect his son. Maybe some more New Brunswickers need to go and help him out. As a Canadian I would just like to apologize to all people out there who have been offended by a Hab fan (all of us) They don't know how obnoxious they are. It's true.
