That's the way I see it, think very little of the fan base and quite a bit of the particular fan. He's good natured with us, it should be reciprocated I like Henry, but make no mistake, he does his share of antagonizing. Me anyway. But I don't mind, I actually welcome it. It's fun. It would be less fun if Montreal was still leading in the standings. Well then, Henry would be posting quite a bit more on this thread and in the "Around the league" thread if that were the case. They aren't and Henry hasn't, which is nice. He does have the Panthers though, but i don't think thats how he had it figured out. Things don't always go as planned, but to be not as interested in his beloved Montreal's games? Thats a real shame.

If we can't antagonize each other, it gets boring pretty quickly. As long as it's not personal or bullying, antagonism over a hockey issue is great!
Now to pour some gas on the fire....
Watching the game last night, it struck me that, with Lucic gone and Marchand largely subdued, it was Montreal, and particularly Subban, who looked like tools with some of the celebrating and antics. It didn't hurt that the first goal was by Talbot, who's one of those humble vet types, the second by Bergeron, who is pretty respectful, and then by Pastrnak who isn't bad for a kid. But in the past, things like the way Subban was acting after Babbarino's goal would have wound up Lucic, who would have wound up guys like Krug who seemed to feed off of Lucic's chest-pounding and flexing. And then they'd have escalated it and looked like tools. There was no point where I thought Boston might have bought that act last night.

I will defend Henry, his team is not doing well. He defended then capitulated to realize the team was not doing well. I did not believe the WC game, a juxtaposed exhibition of a team going down and another team in a slump. The Canadiens are like many teams in the NHL, Cap restricted and dependent on "what have you done lately" syndrome. In reality the Canadien fan base is delusional, Henry is not. Lighten up on the criticism of his postings. That said, I hate Canadien fans in general. I love the city and Canada otherwise. That's the way I see it, think very little of the fan base and quite a bit of the particular fan. He's good natured with us, it should be reciprocated henry makes a nice contribution to the board but coming to a Bruins board as a Habs fan ,he would have to expect a fair amount of animosity just because he is a Habs fan ,it goes with the territory . He obviously doesn't mind because he is still here .

I think bowers needs a Habs partner in crime -- anyone know how to get Kennedy here?
He was okay. Smart hockey mind. Habs fan. Became a bit of a hit-and-run poster, but for entertainment value I'd take him here.
Based on the fact that marco and Stanley were from Montreal, I'm starting to think that it's purely geography that makes you suck, not who you root for.

I never noticed that in Krug...but yeah I was laughing at Subban after that goal, jumping up and down like a school girl's first day going commando

It's not even the celebrating per se; it's that Barbarino scores ("wha? me?") and Subban's the one doing a little dance, pointing at him, sort of making more of a spectacle of himself than Barbarino was making. Like the football discussion, it was like the celebration sapped some of the genuine energy you might have gotten from that goal by making other guys a little uncomfortable and awkward.

He obviously doesn't mind because he is still here . Yeah, it doesn't bother me, or if it does, it's short lived. I grew up outside Boston, so I'm used to most of the hockey talk centering around the Bruins. For awhile there 2010-2013, the Bruins were must see hockey, and I watched at least 3-5 games a month. Habs fans are too sanitized, even on message boards. There's also a part of the fan base that's still entitled from the old days and aren't really over it. (You Pats fans will be this way ten years after Brady and Bellichick). To keep things reasonable, a few things I avoid are any substantive diving debates and any criticisms of Subban. Nobody wants to read 2-3 pages of the same tired arguments that everybody has exhausted in 2011. The Habs talk is heavy, but that's what happens on a Bruins board when the team sucks balls.

I guess Slick Subban celebrated a second period game tieing gl like he'd scored a game 7 SC OT winner and Dubinsky said something. Slick didn't like this and pushed him resulting in a 2 min unsportsmanlike penalty, too funny. You can't make this stuff up.

Here it is. He should be captain. After this, the Jackets score 3 goals and win big.

If the Canadiens were playing at home I probably wouldn't allow it to bother me that much, because the Canadiens crowd would certainly enjoy his enthusiasm. Henry for the most part is great in my books. It's when he makes comments on Bruins games, players or certain plays that gets me. IMO I don't think he should have any say about the B's in a Bruins forum. He should only be commenting on his own team. I would say the same thing if I knew someone from here was going to another teams thread. Henry's knowledgeable and I respect most of his insight, but when he hangs around when the B's are losing, lost or playing like shit. He needs to understand that some of us are emotional fans & we don't need him here stirring the pot while our emotions are high. He needs to backoff & shut his mouth. If he doesn't, then he deserves everything he gets.

I think henry should say whatever he wants, like everyone else. And like everyone else, he should take the heat that comes with that (or when his team blows up after Jan 1). I think he does. It's all good. I wish Kennedy was here too. And that not because I'm crazy about Kennedy.

For the Scabs players and fans that made such a big deal about Lucic grabbing the B on his jersey after scoring a gl in the playoffs a couple yrs ago, what do they think of Subbans over the top celebrations on game tieing gls? Its a little too much, isn't it? I mean he has 4 gls so he hasn't been celebrating much i get that, but now he's even over doing it when a teammate scores. I thought he was going to pull a bicep tendon when Barberio scored against the B's last game.

The Great Gretzagher is back along with their new improved backup! Moaner Max said the Scabs had turned the corner at the Winter crapfest! What happened? Therrien says he can't complain about the effort. If the effort is there, it tells me one thing, the Scabs suck!

Lucic losing in the playoffs two years ago is now folklore to Les Canadien posters like Henry. My my PK's actions above are of the same ilk. The Quebec diving team now has a leader in cheap shot play.

You can call it what you want Nite, thats your prerogative. From where i sit, these so called pre season SC favourites suck. I thought the B's were supposed to be the bottom feeders? Whats their excuse? Price injury ? C'mon every team has injuries, maybe brainiac Bergevin should have gotten a more reliable backup, didn't he watch what happened to the B's with a crap backup last yr? He brings in a bunch of 4th and 5th liners and an over the hill Semin and thinks thats all the tinkering he needed, well he was wrong. The Price injury just exposed what they really were, pretenders, with no depth, inadequate scoring and a creaky defence. Like i say, call it what you want. The Scabs can get in the playoffs, no doubt, but they're quite a ways from contending for a SC. Big problem for them as well is their leadership core, soft,soft, soft. Pussy Pacioretty as their Captain was mistake #!, and naming Slick "The celebrator" Slewbban as the Alternate(happy Old Goalie?) was another mistake, but whatever, let Bergevin fix it.

Lots of sentiment in Montreal suggesting that the reason Bergevin hasn't tried to get them any help during their slump is that they don't expect Price to come back this season. I haven't heard this many Canadiens fans suggest they should tank it since Fail For Nail when they ended up with Galchenyuk.
Also, as you might expect, they are absolutely fixated on the fact that, if you take away their hot start, this is an historically bad team in terms of winning percentage. They've won just 5 of 23 games since December 1, good for a .239 points percentage. That's not quite Washington Capitals circa 1974-75 (.131) or the first year of the Senioritas and Sharts, but it's bad. This is starting to feel like they're a team that got neutered when Price went down and they just want to lie around the living room and suck for scraps now.
