I think Razz agrees.... why else would he choose the Habs in the avatar bet?

I tried to buy one of those Canadiens car flags (everyone has one). Sold out everywhere, but most places are getting another shipment this weekend.

I've seen several around t-diddy these days...

If all else fails, I can pick you one up here pretty easily. The Habs fans in the Ottawa-Hull region have been pretty visible, obviously.

For kids, springtime in Montreal means knocking on your older nieghbour's door and asking him to play street hockey with you. As long as your nieghbour is a Hab.

The city has really taken to Kostopoulos. He was the head master of the Greek parade this year, which was really cool. He also gives interviews in french, and even though he can hardly speak the language, everyone appreciates the effort.

Everyone talks about how no one wants to sign with the Habs, but Roman Hamrlik, Alex Kovalev, Bryan Smolinski and Tom Kostopoulos will tell you otherwise.

Every time I've seen Kostopolous he was working his ass off, throwing his weight around and it looked like he'd stick up for his teammates. Is he like that all the time? Good addition?

Yeah, and he was inexplicably benched mid-way through the season by Carbo. I guess he has his limits. But Carbo plays his 4th line around 12 minutes a night which is almost unheard of minutes. Plus he always puts them on the ice after the Habs score so they do not to have a letdown shift. Begin-Smolinski-Kostopolous is just a ton of energy and they've had a knack for working the boards and jamming the crease down the stretch for big goals.

And, it looks like we actually did pick up Bryan Smolinski at the trade deadline... Laughing all of a sudden he showed up and has been a solid player down the stretch after middling through the early part of the schedule.

Scotty Bowman used to work that strategy with the Grind Line to perfection.
