we have completely different definitions of what being a fan is.
you: habs are good: greatest team ever! habs suck: greatest team ever! habs anything: greatest team ever!
me: habs are good: yay!. habs suck: damn, this team sucks. I wish they would be better.
you: habs sucked before, why are you sad now? get with the program.
me: I don't want to see the habs suck on any given day, let alone 5 years.
you: why do you even watch the habs if you think they suck (see above and read: why do you want this team to be better)
me: why don't you cheer for the coyotes instead? they never won anything and that seems to be exactly what you are looking for.
and for the record, a friend dropped by yesterday during the game and I just didn't care about the game anymore. that's what today's habs are: a plug for free time. they will need luck to change that (laffy sweepstakes) AND some guts (get rid of bergy and clode asap). I said and because neither of the 2 options is sufficient by itself. not getting laffy is more of the same, and getting laffy but having clode show him what life is like in the doghouse will make sure he becomes the second coming of Yakupov instead of a Lecavalier.
