Delusional Hab Fan Video
This made me laugh hard. This is what Hab fans actually thought would happen this year. Apologies to Steve Perry for having his song abused. (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to use the word I wanted to there)
Late with this. Way better late then never.
The Habs are gone. We can all celebrate once again. No more listening to delusional fans who think during the regular season that their team will win the cup and then bail on them before 1 game is played in the playoffs. (for example: Scottie Leighton, Brandon Melanson, Eric Hallett) No more having to see Hab fans embarrass themselves by booing their own team off the ice. No more watching Carey Price wave goodbye to the "fans" with a Patricia Roy salute. (oh wait I liked that) All of us can just sit back, relax and enjoy the playoffs now. I found this article talking about the demise of this years Habs that I thought you would enjoy, so enjoy:
After last season's renaissance, Habs fans were probably expecting much greater things from their club. If they did, it's probably because they ignored the numbers that suggested otherwise. I assume it's because numbers, other than 1967 and 24, scare them. And letters. And basic hygiene. To be fair, they have good reason to fear numbers as they caused them nothing but pain this year.
100 - The percentage of Habs fans who thought "this is the year" in August.
100 - The percentage of Habs fans calling for a rebuild in April.
2 - The number of powerplay quarterbacks that were lost to injuries on clean hits in their second last game of the regular season.
0 - The number of powerplay goals that the Canadiens scored against the Bruins without Markov and Schneider.
Minus-4.8 - The change in Montreal's power play percentage from last year.
1 - The number of stupid gimmicks that allowed the Canadiens to even qualify for the playoffs.
$750 million - The depth of George Gillett's debt that led to some creative ticket deals and possibly a local owner.
1 - The number of Habs' ex-coaches that out-maneuvered a soon to be ex-coach/ex-GM
16 - The number of UFAs and RFAs on the Canadiens. Thank god they have a good GM to sort that out.
3 - The number of times that the Bruins' have swept the Canadiens out of the playoffs including this year.
1531 - The number of seconds that the Canadiens held the lead during the series or just under 21 minutes out of 240 minutes played.
1 - The number of embarrassing parody music videos about winning "25 in 100".
4 - The number of playoff goals scored by former Hab Michael Ryder in the same number of games
3 - The number of playoff goals scored by Michael Ryder in 21 playoff games with Montreal.
100 - The percentage of Montreal shopkeepers that protected their stores against rioters.
99 - The actual number of season that the Canadiens have played.
2 - The number of Montreal forwards who outscored Mikhail Grabovski this season.
0 - The number of those players under contract with Montreal next season.
3 - The number of cigarettes that Carey Price can smoke at once.
1 - The number of 'Franchise' goalies that gave the crowd the Patrick Roy treatment during the deciding game.
0 - The percent chance that Vinny Lecavalier saves Montreal next season.

March Sadness
Sucky final game. 2 teams i didn't want to see. The second worst team won (Duke worst) in a terrible game that was awful from beginning to end. BTW Danny Mac won the pool. I'll do the final standings sometime. I hated the game. I wish Villanova or Uconn had at least been playing. Putrid horrible "sporting event". Gahhhhh!!!!
