The first time I saw this picture in a bar in downtown Montreal, it made me upset. The second time I saw this picture it made me wince.
The Habs get as much support as the late Expos.
Hands down the best part of the Bell Centre. Youppi! has always been Montreal's greatest contribution to the world.
Olympic Stadium: The Stadium That Still Exists!
I should have you know that this stadium is still in use.
There is a woman in there whose job it is to sell tickets for guided tours of the stadium. Between that woman, the guy who actually did the guided tours, the guy running the souvenir stand, and the security guard, I saw more employees inside the lobby than I did visitors.
The half of the facility that doesn't suck.
View once admired by Vladimir Guerrero and Matt Cepicky.
Final resting place of Vladimir's knees.
The official mascot of the 1976 Olympic games was a gay beaver named Amik. Sadly it never caught on.
What a real hockey arena looks like.
Downtown in the third-largest city in Ontario.
So this exists

I would've thought hockey in Canada would get a better turnout.
2009 Safeco Field Record: 6-0 ; Overall Safeco Field Record: 10-4
Those pictures were actually taken well before puck drop
I just really hate the Habs

What were you're thoughts on the atmosphere at the Bell Centre compared to Scotiabank?
I’ve been to games in Montreal and in Toronto, but never in Ottawa.
Well since the Sens were playing the Habs in Ottawa, the atmosphere in Scotiabank was pretty loud, as it was 50% boisterous Montreal fans
It’s my understanding that Scotiabank is usually pretty quiet. Ottawa’s not the most vibrant city in the world. The Bell Centre was nice, but the atmosphere didn’t blow me away, although that might’ve had something to do with the Canadiens managing all of like 13 shots on goal.

Ugh, I wish Baseball was still in Montreal
I know it didn’t fare well and I didn’t care much at the time, but they just don’t feel right in Washington. I always wanted to see a game in Olympic Stadium too. YELLOW seats.

Where else would gay beavers get their porn?
The ones who still get their porn printed on dead trees, at least.
Which, in the case of beavers, is all of them.

Oh, sorry...

I always found Expos games to be bland and boring, so I wasn't too upset when they were moved.
But yeah, that first picture is kinda sad.
FUCK THE DBACKS!
Pre-strike the atmosphere at Expos games was pretty great, as I recall.
I’d like the strike-killing-baseball-in-Montreal angle to get a little more play than it currently does.

I always found it very annoying when they talked about the Braves "consecutive championships"
The Expos were taking it in 94!

I wonder if the city of Montreal would let me have Olympic Stadium if I assumed all operating costs

Best part:
“Olympic Stadium: The Stadium That Still Exists!”
Second best part:
“Downtown in the third-largest city in Ontario.”
Maybe if they were the Montreal Amiks they'd still be around

That's a textbook break up of the double play...

What the deuce?
My message disapeared. Bloody hell. SUCK! Just finshied finals. I’m a wee bit jealous! I may be able to go the Sens-Habs game in January in Montreal. Dear god, yes! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Wins are fun. finals = the suck of the balls.
Are you English?
“Bloody hell”. “wee bit”. Although I think you might have missed your mark in saying “suck of the balls” instead of “bloody bollocks”. Chimeroo!

Are you American?
Confusing English and Scottish phrases seems like a giveaway

They say wee bit in England as well.
Now, by “they” I mean Scots but I think you now understand how right I am.

I presume Mags & Fags sells magazines and cigarettes
And for those that don’t believe Jeff when he says Olympic Stadium is still in use, I just saw video of a monster truck show from there not too long ago.
And here I thought
they sold alloy wheels and gay people.
