That's natural.  The Habs are a great franchise, whereas the Jets are ho-hum.

It's very easy to hate Montreal.

The last time the Jets played the Habs it was carried on CBC.  The CBC announcers spent the entire game talking about the Habs, and when they interviewed one of the Jets players after the 1st period they spent all the time asking him about what the Habs were doing. :rolleyes:

This is why so many Americans hate Duke and Notre Dame.  When your team plays Duke in basketball or Notre Dame in football the announcers have a hard time hiding their massive crush on them.  But it is exactly that that makes Duke and Notre Dame (and the Habs) sorta appealing to me.  They just have a certain aura.

So V - another huge game tonight.  Jets lose and they can kiss the playoffs goodbye.

I just cannot hate the Habs.  The tradition and mystique are just pretty cool even though they seem to have left it all behind in their old building.  I guess I like the idea of the Habs rather than the actual post-Forum Habs.

I just have contempt for the Leafs, they are the Cubs of hockey, they just sit there being popular and beloved even though they never win.  They just have a sense of entitlement that makes them seem sad and dellusional.  Which is kind of a black eye to the NHL IMO since they are one of the premier franchises (maybe even THE premier franchise) and they are basically symbols of mediocrity.

What feed do you get? Quebec fanbase is pretty imprevious to anything none-habs, since we all watch the game on RDS and RDS is Habs wall to wall.

I know the Caps have made it difficult for me to check the scores and highlights every night I am so on edge.  Another huge game but really for the past month they have all been huge.

When it comes to the playoffs, missing by a millimetre and missing by a mile are equally bad.  And Winnipeg has pretty much sealed their fate.

I think we have a happy lawyer on board...

Wish I could have watched the game :)

Not entirely happy - they needed a clean two point win, since they're chasing Washington in the standings.  An OT win means they only gain 1 point on the Caps.

But glad to see the urgency by the Jets.  Also very, very cool to see the scoresheet - Maxwell and Machacek are two recent AHL call-ups, and Stapleton has been on the fourth line or press box all year.  It was also great that since those guys were going, Noel gave up on "rolling four lines" - instead he was double-shifting his fourth line. :lol:

Lets see if they can keep it up in Nashville tonight.  Back to backs have been deadly to the Jets so far this year.

So let's see - Jets need to make up 4 points on both Washington and Buffalo over the next 8 games (thankfully they do have a game in hand over both teams). Hmm... it can be done, but it also means they are not masters of their own fate.

They have won the season series against Washinton and Buffalo, so they have that tiebreaker.

Another solid win for the Sabres.  Thank Hod they've come around.  I missed being able to enjoy winning hockey. :thumbsup:

Jets lose, and Sabres win.
