The best was when I was a child, Quebec still had a team and we had an awesome rivalry, most of the players were from here, and there was a distinct Montreal style of play. That, your annual game at the Forum, Rad-Can’s soirée du hockey. and you’re imprinted for life.
All of that is gone, and if anything is to be written about the Habs, I’d be curious about how a person even become a Habs partisan with that same affective attachment in this era of Bell Center and an absolutely goofy game experience, no rivalries (not even sure what division we’re in now), an alphabet soup of international players who are barely on the team long enough to learn how to pronounce the name of the country they’re from, and the rest. A Habs game these days feels to me more like a consumer product among others than a part of the culture, write an article to tell me what I’m missing.
