After all, if the Montreal fans would disappear, there would be something missing and the opposite too, fans should understand that their "worst ennemies" are somehow their very best friends as they color their game and give a particular taste to their sport, I will never understand those fighting for a game, something that should be only entertainment.
I'm tentatively scheduled to go to Montreal next summer. I am intending to wear my Bruins hat the entire time and to mention Milan Lucic as many times as possible. I'm a Canucks fan first, but the Bruins and the Red Wings were my teams growing up, so they're 2a and 2b.
