Leafs1972 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 my name's Scott, i'm from a small town in southwestern ontario...usually outnumbered by leaf fans, though in my family, there's three habs fans and one leaf fan (that's only including the males, however...the females are not really into hockey) my favourite player is Alex Kovalev, seconded closely by Chris Higgins. i just love their sleek stickhandling and especially Kovalev's trademark powerplay move.

GuyDryden Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hello from Hoosierland: Indianapolis, Indiana. Lifelong Habs fan signing in for the first time. I first started watching the NHL down here in 1974. I remember wanting a Boston Bruins jersey that Christmas, because I liked their colors. The catalog store didn't have them, so my mom bought me a Buffalo Sabres instead. When I first saw it, I liked the old blue/gold scheme so much I thought I'd become a diehard Sabres fan. Well, ABC back then showed games on Sunday afternoons. I got to start seeing the Canadiens quite often because they were such a dominant team then, and quickly became a diehard Montreal fan, Guy Lafleur, Ken Dryden, etc. I finally got to visit Montreal in 1989, albeit only for a day. But that was enough to fall in love with the city. The Flames were my 2nd favorite team that year, so I didn't mind tremendously when they won the Cup. My two favorites were playing, so I was happy either way. Montreal has always been my first favorite however. I loved watching them beat LA and Gretzky, as I was offended by Gretzky abandoning Edmonton for US dollars at the time. I've always preferred Canadian teams to US ones, so that makes me an anomoly down here. For that matter, being an NHL fan in Indianapolis makes me an anomoly also. I had subscribed to Directv since 1995 to follow hockey, but had to cancel it two years ago due to financial difficulties. I'm back on my feet now however, have picked Directv back up, and I have the Center Ice package once again to follow Montreal. I work 2nd shift, so I'll DVR the Habs games and watch them as soon as I get home. I'm looking forward to following the Habs this season, and corresponding with other fans here. At some point I hope to at least buy the first disk of the Rosetta Stone for French, so I can converse some in that language when I visit Montreal again, and I will visit again.

john15432-hotmail-com Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 username: EJ real name: EJ Live: Saint John N.B. Born: Same Age: 43 Favourite Current Hab: Higgins Favourite All time Habs: 77-78 Team but Guy Lafleur was the man. I have been a lifelong fan and really appreciate that Montreal is never content with a middle of the road team. I don't agree with all their moves, (Reibero comes to mind) but at least they continue to try and win the cup back. We only lend it out from time to time to keep things interesting :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeychick018 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hi EJ, I'm from Saint John too, now living in Moncton... I've been a Habs fan since 1993 (I was 12), and this year I'm finally going to Montreal to see a couple of games for the first time!!! Anyway, I've been lurking here for the past several months and will probably continue to lurk much more than I post, but I just wanted to say hi... And - despite the lovely picture of Kovy in my avatar (and the fact that I bought La Semaine this week), I'm absolutely not a puck bunny (can't stand them, actually) - just wanted to make that clear! Je parle aussi français mais je ne vois pas de place pour m'introduire sur le côté français... PS I tried to post this about 15 minutes ago and it didn't seem to work so I'm trying it again, just in case it double posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licentia Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Being a Habs fan in Vancouver is a funny thing. There are a lot of us , but ever since the Canucks (what colours are they wearing this year?) got a little more competitive , we take a lot more abuse than we ever used to. I'm 38 now , and my earliest memories of the Canadiens are like most ...Saturday nights on TV. I remember using my little tape recorder and taping Danny Gallivan's play by play of a game against the Bruins and then playing it back and acting it out in the basement. I remember standing in the crease leaning on my stick just like Ken Dryden (every kid wanted to be a goalie right ?) I am ashamed to admit it but I must; there was a dark period from around '78 to 81 where I actually disliked,there I said it,the Habs. I remember my reasoning was that they just won too much. Crazy eh? Up to that poit I just liked the Canucks and was pretty much indifferent about the Habs. Things changed forever when in 1984 , the Canadiens were underdogs. I, for some unknown reason, cheered for the Bruins ( I know !?) for a year or so and was watching them play Montreal in the playoffs that year. I will never forget the exact moment I became a Hab fan forever. Mario Tremblay scored and I cheered out loud....I surprised myself. Consider me signed sealed and delivered. It was wierd but it all came on at once. They were the underdogs. It all came together for me all of a sudden. My grandfather was born and raised in Montreal. My mom was a war baby born in England but grew up in Montreal. My grandad saw the Canadiens play the Maroons in the Forum for crying out loud. I could not get enough of his stories all of a sudden. I guess I was finally at the point where I was ready to appreciate them for a change. He was on a bus coming home from work when the Richard Riots broke out. Now that I think about it I should interview him with a tape recorder, he's in his mid 80's now. Claude Lemieux was my hero at that time. As I remember , one of , if not his very first game was on TV on a Saturday night. I loved his energy instantly. I proudly walked the halls of my high school with my prized possesion, a Habs home jersey with #32 Lemieux stitched on it !! Remembering how hated he was ( this is Vancouver remember),that was a very controversial jersey to wear to school ! The Cup run in 1986 was of course euphoria ( Lemieux's overtime winner in game 7 against Hartford remains as maybe my favourite goal of all time, I did a project on that goal for french class that year). I was glued to every second of that entire run. Hab playoff results became the determining factor of how my day/week was going to go. My parents hated it ! 1993, say no more...10 overtime wins ? I could barely watch....... Wow, I have really rambled here. Has anyone actually read this far ? I could go on, but I am very excited about the club this year,and me and my Grandad ( and my uncle and my brother in law ) will be flying the flag proudly in Vancouver , for this year and forever. Go Habs Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
