Suddenly, I'm not so sure I'd be happy if the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup.
A game 7 win against your longtime rival, your Original Six brethren, in the first round. Let it settle.
The Habs were pushed to the brink of elimination by a Boston Bruins squad that is essentially Zdeno Chara surrounded by AHL players. Virtually every interested party, from bloggers pro and less so, to print journalists, to talking heads to forum dwellers, practically every freaking one of them gave Boston no shot against the top point-getters in the East.
And those bastids almost pulled it off.
If history teaches us anything, it's that Boston can't beat Montreal when it really matters and Montreal hockey fans will riot over anything. Are you familiar with the Rocket Richard riot? Help us all if Guy Charbonneau gets a parking ticket anytime soon.
