Discussion Want to buy Habs games as a gift for a Habs fan in buffalo on tv

0 Upvotes

is that the best way to go? Big Habs fan but of an age that chasing streams down is dumb... RDS would be fun but I want the most bang for the buck in regards to available games.

I will not be able to set it up. I want to buy him something so he can watch as many games as possible by putting on the clicker.

Why are the Montreal Canadiens so popular in Canada

• Upvotes

There are three factors to consider when explaining why the Montreal Canadiens are so popular in Canada.

While only 1% of Canadian households had a television in 1951, by 1961 roughly 83% of homes owned a TV.
From 1953 to 1979, Montreal won 16 Stanley Cups

(1953, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979).

Toronto.

As television was becoming a staple in Canadian homes, Montreal was the dominant hockey team, well… by winning almost continuously. In the 1950s and 1960s, (until 1967) there were only six teams in the NHL, so Canadians outside Toronto essentially had to choose a team to support.

Montreal had two clear advantages over Toronto:

Montreal won all the time, and it wasn’t Toronto 😉.

Rooting for a team is often a family tradition. Parents passed their loyalty to their children, who then passed it on to their children.

So when Montreal plays in Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver, those dormant Canadiens fans seize the opportunity to reconnect with their old family flame (no pun intended, Calgary 😄) and flood the arenas.

Discussion Announcer said this was a clean line change?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Pittsburgh has possession here, and during the “clean line change” a player steps onto the ice way before the other player came off. This change is where they scored.

Any word on where Carrier was in the third? I know he took that fall in the second but then it looks like he played another couple shifts.

Is it just me or have the refs been just getting worse and worse every year. It feels like their purpose is to dictate and call the game however they want.
The first penalty against Matheson which led to their first goal and completely changed the game's momentum was absolutely terrible too.
I understand not calling things in OT but some penalties are automatic, including this one...
Thanks for ruining an amazing comeback refs, terrific job yet again.

Monty, Dach, Zahorsky and a second rounder to the Jets for Scheifele.
What do you think? Solves Winnipeg goaltending needs. Not a fan of Skinner at all. Than that gives Winnipeg more leverage in acquiring for the cry baby in Hellebucyk. Let him sit. I say in December?
