Well, love that suit don! Maybe another time!

Go Habs GO!!!

I'm borned in Montreal and was part of a few Stanley Cup wins by the Habs.

I feel the fever all the way here....

It is very unfortunate that a handfull of Thugs are shading this great moment.

on the other end, where were the cops?? This is not something new in Montreal...

I am hoping that Montreal go all the way and I will definitly be there for the parade!!
I was there in 93..now my kids need to see this.

for these thugs!!, what don't you just stay home and destroy YOUR own propety?, no wander municipal taxes have to skyrocket!! smart a..

Good Luck Habs!!!

I was there as well in 93 and it is true that it only takes a few bad apples to ruin a perfectly good thing. To all you idiots who are these bad apples thanks for nothing i hope that you get thrown in jail. To all the fans that were there celebrating like adults, kudos to you and keep it up cheering our team on in the next series....

I watched the revellers after the game on RDI and a few other channels. Mostly it was people having a good time and celebrating. Yes, it's a shame some of them got out of hand and once again, that's all Canada will read about and hear about on television. Let's not tarnish this win for Montréal by focusing on a few rabble rousers (who hasn't had a few too many???) and hope that the anglo media will METTRE FIN A L'HISTOIRE!!

I have been a fan all my life and i feel that the Habs pulled it together in the end. I am poud of them. ALso it is always good to not have too long of a break between series so that you stay fresh. I feel that they still have the best chance to win the east and the seven game series is a learning experience for the whol team.
For the idiots of Montreal who rioted last night...it is round 1, 3 more to go. Relax, we have won 24 Stanley Cups already there is no need for this stupidity. If this were Toronto, I could understand, they never win anything in hockey. Sorry had to bash the Leafs, I am a Habs fan.

the best part of game 7 was not the game itself as boston ran out of gas. The best part was the introduction with the singing by edith Piaf. This was excellent and if this could be showed again it might push les glorieux to greater heights. Even Radio Canada ende its news with this opening and the singing of Edith

In the past years, we have had several world cup celebrations in the streets of Montreal spontaneously initiated by the various ethnical communities without any incidences. Here is an opportunity whereby a sport such as hockey in Montreal, (bridging so many ethnical communities)can bring this city to the party frenziness as the Jazz festival can or Grand Prix weekend can; but no, a few sick minds have to feed the media and the rest of the world the uglier side of the human condition. This saddens me because Montreal, and Montrealers are not representative of yesterday's repulsive events!

I watched both games 6 & 7 and thought that the Habs players and goaltender elevated their game in game 7 to take the series. The city of Montreal and the Habs fans have a great young team to cheer for. Unfortinately, the news showed how the fans in Montreal acted after the game tarnished a great game and series win. It's unbeleaveable how some people act when their team wins. Those of us who do not have the privedlege of having a professional team in their city, causes us to react to these actions with disgust. Then again were these really Hab fans, or just a bunch of idiots using the Habs win as an excuse to justify their stupid behavior.
Maybe if a team's fans act in this type of riotious behavior, then their team should be disqualified, maybe then this disrespectful and stupid behavior would stop. Just a thought. Hopefully the Habs go all the way, but without this unnecessary/foolish fan behavior.

I know most of tje time when I see Don Cherry, I think somewhere there is a horse with a cold back. But I loved your Boston Black and yellow. Kudos to you for sticking up for your own team and for Canadian players.

wow it is good that montreal won last night

Am I the only one confused here? Montreal barely makes an effort to win after game 2, and then suddenly destroys the Bruins in game 7. Bear with me here, but could it be that NHL advertisers (Ford?) weren't interested in having a short series? Could it be that the word was ever so gently sent down the ladder that Canadien players should hold off on trouncing their opponents for a few games? Watching the games, I asked myself too many times, "Why have the Habs suddenly quit trying?". I don't know about you, but for me, something stinks in the NHL.

I have visited Montreal more times than I can remember. I have family in the city and I proposed to my wife in Montreal. And yes, I am a Bruins fan.
With the jeering of the American national anthem at the game's start and the rioting at the end, the city and perhaps the province show how ugly they are. With a growing economy that can sell out seats and the predominance for speaking French these are not indicative that you have class. Then again, you can not buy it either. After last night is is obvious you have none.
Until you have some class, no Cup for you.

It's ironic that the fans and media of Montreal have been "ripping" on Don Cherry recently for being biased towards the Bruins. If these same fans had the class or respect for their fellow citizens that Mr. Cherry has, this
ugly incidence would not have happened.
PS. Go HABS!!!

I would like to comment on the "class" man, sorry about your Bruins, I mean, had Boston of had a riot the shame would be on you. As for no cup, that's a laugh. You are right, we may be a little rough around the edge, but isn't that what makes us appealing? And for blaming it on the french speaking MAJORITY of our province makes you just seem ignorant. Had you of visited any respecible bar as a person who has travelled here so often I am sure you know alot of classy ones, you would have noticed that people were being kept in or kicked out during the riots. These establishments were prepared and handled it well. I advise you look into seeing montreal as for what it's history has brought it to be now, and keep an open mind.

Je me souviens...

Glad 2 c Habs get back to being more aggresive, in game 7. AS a loyal fan I have 2 say stay aggresive, not defensive. Play Just as last 10 or so regular season games!!!

Why do you keep saying "Habs Fans"?
I was there! It started as a celebration.
It was a bunch of low lifes that started burning cars and such. Please don't slander an entire city because of your narrow mindedness.

ELLAS OLE!!

Well here we are down to our beloved Montreal Canadians, yes our New Canada s Team hoping that they bring us what all Canadians want, Stanley Cup playoffs in June with the big screen on the deck, and the coolers full of beer and of course the the BBQ fired up. After watching the the game out of San Jose tonight, and watching our beloved Flames drop the puck once again with a lack of discipline in the second period, it is very dishearting to see such a good team have to call it so early. And now, set up for yes, those TEE times, Iginla 4some on deck. Well hey nothing wrong with that, its all about the calling, I just hope they discuss what they need to do next year.
So now we await to see what our HABS do. I certainly do, and hey I have loved the Habs since the age of 5, through and through; but a lover of our great game yes the Hockey Game; its all about forgetting about the day but what is going to happen in the next 60 minutes 3 periods of smashing, crashing, shooting,and stick work, OH yes and the good old fashioned Lets settle this at center ice moment.
Lord Stanley is the one man who can bring the whole country together for a 3 month party, because we are Canadian, and hey, we love to watch and play hockey, party and BBQ.
I know the Habs will do well its up to the rest of the country to figure out what they want. Support and heart come from all of us and hey, its our game, who wants to play.

The reports from the Montreal police say that it wasn't Habs fans who rioted but small groups of vandals who were waiting for the chaos after the game to run amok. Good work by the Montreal police to prevent the hooligans from causing more damage to personal property and thankfully no one was hurt.

In response to Lou the Bruin, I went to Boston for Game 6. I haven't seen classier bunch than most Habs fan and I haven't seen a classless bunch a most Bruins fans. I was harrassed non-stop had a drink knock out of my hand, had a drink poured on me, simply for wearing the rouge, bleu and blanc. And whats worse is there is a gentlemen in hospital right now in Boston who was viciously attacked by your "classy" Bruins fans, totally unprevoked.

If you equate class with cups that's why we have 24 and you have 5 and none since 1972 - when apparently Boston lost all its class.

It is sad to see sport has come to this. The game used to be fun. It is now over-priced, political and, apparently, full of thuggery.

The Habs should be embarassed and upset with their fans on this one. Just because one thug starts something, it doesnt mean you have to follow.

The sport needs to be taken back to its roots and displayed for the game that it is. The players, owners and fans need to take note as to where the league is going.

It doesnt set a very good example.

To Lou the Bruin: We have seen enough Bahstonians vomiting their guts out on Crescent Street here to know that we need no lectures from you on class.The sour grapes of Bruins fans after their ritual bums rush from the playoffs has never been an impediment to a Cup win in the past and it wont be this year either.

makes me feel ashamed to have been a habs fan since 1956 and see the goons that never saw the great ones play. one more like this and let the habs loose, then bring out the fire trucks with full hoses, and wash the rif-raf down the sewers. we don't need this anymore.
