Habs through to finals
The Canadiens have reached the Stanley Cup finals now for the first time since 1993. Things are getting a little overexcited downtown.

It’s annoying that the thugs will loot stores, but it’s very, very exciting that the Habs have a shot at another Cup.
Waited so long for this.

It’s pretty wild. Coming out of a global pandemic (at least this phase of it), St-Jean, full moon, Habs win. Went for a crowd-watching walk last night and it really was an incredibly jubilant feeling. I’m very happy for the young people of this city who are at the age to truly love this sort of thing. They’ve earned it.

A lot of these people are in the 18-35 crowd who never stopped partying and aren’t getting vaccinated. I’m not sure those ones have earned anything.

MarcG, that’s a deeply unfair comment. I know many people in that age group who did everything they were asked and lost an important year+ of their lives. In a big population there were will always be a few outliers, but I don’t think it’s at all fair to point a finger at that entire generation. As for vaccinations, they’re at 65% (18-29), which is still impressive, especially compared to say, the US. Oh, and they’re also the ones working in essential (and non-essential) retail jobs. You know, supplying us with food and stuff.

Old man yells at cloud. The 18-35 year olds that I know definitely stopped partying for a good year and it was rough for them. These are people who are at the age where going out and socializing is the main phase of your life. They had it cut off from them and they handled it a lot better than the boomers and my own lame generation full of selfish individualists whining about vaccines. Not to mention their tough career and real estate economy we left for them. Such a weak comment.

We’ve clearly had different experiences over the past 15 months.

Earlier this year I broke up a birthday party. Ten young adults who showed up minutes before curfew on a Monday night to a home where none of them lived, but one of them had a spare key. When I let myself in a couple hours later and gave the very loud unclothed people hell, they had a litany of excuses as to why their multiple health violations were ok just this once.
The parents who were out of town had told me it was going to be a few people getting together for a quiet night playing board games. When I told them what was actually happening they were furious they had been lied to.
