As perhaps the only Canadiens fan on this site, I decided to check back in. Great game tonight, lots of fun to see these two teams going at it in a game like this. As I said before, Boston is just better than Montreal this year, so the longer the game went the more Boston had the edge. Great goal-tending on both sides and both teams really wanted this one. That is what hockey should be.
I do not see anything but a Bruins win in game 6, and the way they have been playing, they deserve it. I am proud of Montreal for putting up a fight and making a series of it, but in the end, the bigger team on a rush will pull out this series.
Congrats to all Bruins fans, I know it has been a ride.
Now, back to the Celtics...
very class unlike alotta montreal fans. Not that we're the best in the world
lol, i hear that. i have had my share of abuse from Bruins fans, but that's part of the scene I guess
I grew up in Boston - diehard Celtics and Red Sox fan. When I was just a little guy, I went to my first Bruins game. Of course, I loved Boston, right? Of course, I also knew nothing about hockey. I was more interested in the cotton candy. So, when the "red team" scored, I was excited like I saw the other people doing. Someone leaned over and told my dad he needs to control that kid. Even as a boy it got my back up. My dad whispered I had just cheered for a Canadiens goal. So I said, without missing a beat, "I LOVE the Canadiens!"
I have now been a fan for 36 years...lol. Stubbornness led to this, but I would not trade it
But because of that, I do not *hate* the Bruins as a Montreal fan should. Granted, I have no great love for them and I feel the rivalry as much as anyone. The team I hate is Philly. Nothing good can ever come from being a Flyers fan.
I will still be wearing my Richard jersey to work Monday. Love is love
