I hate that this series is being overshadowed by those damn idiots on twitter.Obviously they don't represent us, the city or the team. But the media trying to connect the two really bother me.
Hopefully it won't overshadow the rest of the series. Kinda hoping the crowd gives Subban a good reception in light of everything. Just to show those morons what's up.
Rask needs to be big and take tomorrow game as well as game 4
The implication that francophone referees cheat to favor the Habs is extremely insulting both to francophones and to referees. Quick, waive Bergeron before his innate french weakness causes him to sabotage the Bruins!
To infer this from a game where the Habs had ONE extra pp over more than four periods of hockey... speaks for itself.
May I speak for myself as I am one of those Frenchies?
What is big time insulting for myself is that the NHL is appointing 2 refs that grew up so close to "Centre Bell" as this would be **** so easily avoidable ***. The jerks who are taking this decision are exposing the Frenchies to raising some doubts regarding the profesinalism of their behaviour.
The son of one of my coworker is a baseball ref. This year, his son asked Baseball Canada to ref in Greater Toronto Area. His son does not want to have someone to even have the opportunity to raise a doubt about his professionalism. Period! Why this young ref and Baseball Canada are so much smarter than those involved in those kinda decisions in the NHL?
I am not asking the NHL to have those refs working in the Western Canada or USA for the duration of their career. Only to avoid those kinda things in the playoffs games. Why is it asking for too much?
Well, I noted that above too. But I don't understand why you write 'hypocrisy of the Montreal fan base' when B's fans are quick to jump on this silliness too, of alleging referee-bias despite facing the same ridiculousness on Campbell.
It's clearly an individual issue, and not a fan base issue.
Another interesting phenomenon: fan bases thinking that they are somehow unique and different than another. Montreal fans are no more likely than Boston fans when it comes to hypocrisy.

maybe the league should just appoint Euro refs for the entire playoffs, that way there would be no bias, it would be crud refereeing across the board
I don't think anyone is implying that francophone refs would favor one team. Quebecois, on the other hand....
