Apparently someone wore a "habs suck" t-shirt.
Add Molson and Labatts. Equals high odds.
Canada is embarrassed.
Don't be Afraid Y'all.

Yeah makes me proud to be a Canuck ...NOT!!!!! I couldn't believe this when I heard about it ... especially since it was a first round series against a team that supposedly had no chance against Montreal! Shameful and embarrassing is all I can say!

Was it last year the negative energy surrounding Edmonton kept them just shy of winning Stanley?
This stuff is not good for a team's, or anyone's, morale.

News Report Prediction:

"Over 15,000 drunken Canadian's bursted out into an all out brawl over the latest thrashing their team received in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this evening. A half dozen have been confirmed killed in the violence and scores rushed to area hospitals. Police tried to disperse a large crowd that had gathered around the Capitol Building near downtown, calling for a do-over in this historic game. Police fired tear gas, rubber bullets, and the now infamous taser shotguns, however, the drunken Canadians were so out of hand, that Police were forced to use flamethrowers and bazookas to finally break up the fighting downtown. As of last report, 2,300 rioters have been arrested, including one young male dressed as Ronald McDonald after he threw a hand grenade at Canada's Mounted Police Sgt. Mr. Bottleneck.
Bush has promised Canadian officials, any and all military support that they require, if rioting for the next game turns any worse.
For Channel 5, this is Kirk Buttes reporting from downtown Montreal."

Just Kidding :-P
