Tonight marks Sidney Crosby's return to action in his native Canada.  Fittingly, the game is on Hockey Night in Canada, which means that not only will the start be delayed an hour to do the Canadians retiring 911 in honor of Max Pacioretty, but you also get to hear Don Cherry talk about how hockey players with helmets are soft.  Or hear him berate women.  Or Russians.

 

Vintage stuff right there.  On the bright side CBC always has pretty legit intros.  

Really no point in going over every reason we have to hate Montreal.  The entitlement mentality, PK Subban, Carey Price, Mike Camelsomething, the 2010 playoffs.  Perhaps Fleury spoke for all of us when he mocked Price last time the Pens played in Montreal.
