You say it's just a game. I say it's just life.

It has been over a year since Souray's surly form skimmed passes or boomed shots from the Red, White and blue-line.

I thought true hockey fans wanted to see quality hockey. If a fan of a bad team wants to see more games featuring their team, hey, that's what the NHL Centre Ice Package is for.

Through the eighties, ( Chart) the New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers along with the Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins were considered the dominant teams. That decade was the first of two "lost decades" for the Montreal franchise. Though they won (an unexpected) Stanley Cup in 1986, Montreal was considered a team in their twilight.

The more Montreal struggles, the more the hillbillies amongst the analysts bellow and strut for simpler methods and for more crash-and-bang hockey.
