Oh how I hate the Habs. Let me count the ways Updated because I forgot some ways:

1. There's Komisarek and the way he loves to hide behind the ref's skirts. To be fair, when he doesn't this happens.
2. I know people hate talking about 'The Code' and the Don Sanderson tragedy certainly makes you questions parts of it buuuuuttt...if you are the kind of player that punches Darcy Tucker in the face when the linesman has his arms pinned or you try to fight a skill guy like Nik Hagman then when you actually decided to be a man take your visored helmet off you little cube of shit. As an aside, when May was switching from southpaw to righty and back again do you think Francois realized that he had bitten off way more than he could chew? Oh, and that take down move you tried? Get ready for the rematch you little bitch.
3. The Kostitsyn sisters. Hooray! You have a grudge against a countryman because he has better hockey hair and his family probably was part of the party leadership back home and made your peasant family's life miserable in Minsk. Good for you. How about you fight next time. And no hair pulling because while Grabbo looks like the kind of guy that would fight like this you two look like hair pullers.
4. Guillaume Latendresse. First, he gets so hyped up because he's French and the Quebecois need a French superstar to assuage all of their other shortcomings. Then, it turns out that despite being huge he is actually puny in heart and guts to the extent that even Habs fans started calling him Guimauve (marshmallow). That is actually kind of awesome on their part. And of course, he let all of that go to his head just like Ribeiro. I can't wait to see him run out of town.
5. Oh, and now they have Maxim Lapierre! As if they needed another dirty little midget that doesn't back up his antics by fighting. Let's call him French Jaarko.
6. The fake 100 years celebrations although it was nice to see Wendel, Salming, Sittler, Bower, and Potvin again.
7. They have our 1993 Stanley Cup. Feel free to give it back.

I have to agree with DGB though. This rivalry is taking over the Battle of Ontario and I like it. More history, more rage, more contrast. The only downside is that it's more French but the bright side is that when the going gets tough, they'll surrender.

And here are some links:

• Mike Ulmer looks into his crystal ball and TSM reacts.
• Didn't the Leafs trade something important for this guy?
• RepressedOptimism is starting a Paul Hendrick Fan Club. No, wait, I read that wrong. He wants to throw him into an industrial fan.
• John Mitchell has a favourite word.
• Hartsburg is losing the plot.
• Grabovski is freaking awesome. I want one of the Kostitsyn sister's to finally man up and fight the guy because I have a feeling that he will kill them and then send orders to have their families executed in Belarus.
• Alec shows the pros how it is done and figures out the whole Kaberle/Kubina NTC window of opportunity rigamarole.
• Andrew Raycroft made 43 saves to go to 8-1 on the year. Thank God we got rid of him or the Leafs might actually win some games this year. On a side note, since this is the only player that Eyebeleaf hates I can only assume that Razor's laid back attitude was just too much for Eyebeleaf's girlfriend. That or he's crazy.
• If Grabovski gets suspended then Campbell is a bigger dumbass than I thought. So let's say 2 games?
• I am with DGB. I love the Brad May Era. Hate the player, love the game. Right?
• Jared just wants some answers from Vesa.
