Great value and positionally smart moves can **** off. What’s the point of watching hockey? Because we love the players and we want to see them succeed with the team we love. I’d rather watch the habs be an average team with a team full of players that everyone loves and roots for rather than a Cup winning team with players the fans have no emotional connection to.

Suzuki is the most boring person on earth.

That’s a sad way to watch my team? I think it’s sad if the only way you watch hockey is just cheering for the corporation regardless of who is on the ice and how they act.

Suzuki is the most boring person on earth. I love Cole. But he’s not enough to get me to continue to watch hockey, especially when there’s so much else I could be doing with those 246+ hours of time and $200 I would spend watching the habs each year.

Would I fall in love with Slafkovsky and the others if I got back into hockey? Probably, yes. But that’ll never remove the pain that I’ll feel every time I think of the losses of Romanov, Kotkaniemi, Mete, Lehkonen, and so many others. Hockey fandom has some great highs, but also a lot of lows, and I should really be focusing my free time into something that is just highs with no lows and I’ll be a lot happier of a person.

Trade confirmed: Montreal Canadiens - New York Islanders

Eureka! It means Chiarot resigns in MTL!

Ufas

1.Klinberg: 47points
and….
2. Ben Chariot: 26 points .

Montreal probably isn't getting him in that case unless he takes a discount to sign here. We still have to upload some cap

Well we've done this for 20 years now without any results, let's try something different shall we.

And you call yourself a fan.

Lol that's an very inaccurate interpretation of what I said. Welcome to the business of sports I guess where everything is designed to take your money. Sports has mostly lows. Winning, being successful is tough. The journey of those lows, then getting to the Hugh's is the point. Ask Tampa fans after getting swept against the blue jackets the winning twice in a row. And I get wanting an exciting team(everyone wants that and I think the Habs got a good one in slaf) but youre spewing bs that if your team was winning you wouldn't be that interested. Ask the leafs fans how having some exciting players not translating to winning feels like... It's great until success never follows.

I can’t speak to the habs from 1994 through 2015. And I have no qualms with management doing what they’re doing if they want to run a winning hockey team. I just won’t be a fan of that team.

I like that Suzuki’s on the habs. He’s a great player, but he’s like a robot in interviews. I like him, but he’s definitely not a major reason why I’d continue to watch the habs. Whereas players like Caufield, Lehkonen, Kotkaniemi, Danault, Romanov, Byron, Tatar, and Gallagher would be.

We are not the same person, and I’m not the same person as other hockey fans. You can’t call my reasons for why I do things bs because my way of thinking isn’t the same as yours.

I understand that having a lot of lows is inherent in being a sports fan. Which is why I don’t want to devote my time to being a sports fan. And I’m not a child anymore. People change, and I’m a very different person than I was 6 years ago when I was really introduced to hockey. I think it’s great that other people still find a lot of joy from being a sports fan, but that’s just not me anymore.
