The Canadiens Are Nothing But Thieves And Thugs... I Could Have Told You So Much!!!

When I heard about the run-in with the law experienced by two of these new breed Montreal Canadiens of today, I found nothing but vindication there for many justified Habs Haters - of which I have always been an avowed outspoken representative!

Way before O'Byrne and Kostopoulos showed their true colors - trust me, folks, I could have told you aaaaaaaaaall about these hidden traits (shared by many Habs, actually) and not just these days but over the course of many seasons past too...!

They're cheats, they're liars, they're hypocrites who never cared for "fair play" one bit... They strive to steal points in the standings and steal victories any which way they can! Finally, they are cheap shot artists and "thugs-along-the-boards" - but nothing more than sissies when comes the time to fight mano-a-mano, though!
And so, now, it all became crystal-clear to all those fanboys who are oblivious to all of these facts, simply because they are deluded enough to think the "Habs" to be righteous remnants of a long-dead dynasty (that only existed in the first place due to an unfair monopoly on the available talent pool in the early days of the NHL - but that is another story...)

Ryan O'Byrne (no better, certainly, and, perhaps, no worse than the likes of John Kordic or Chris Nilan before his redemption in Boston!) stands accused of GRAND THEFT - something that reeks of ridicule for he certainly makes enough moolah as an overpaid, over-evaluated NHL rookie and needs not the extra pocket change he found in some gal's purse... Is he so childish that he just had to peek at the contents of said purse - and play with the bimbo's cellular?!? (Hey - she has to be a bimbo, to have left her purse unattended like that on a bar's counter, where considerably less-than-trustworthy brutal chumps pass by and can simply sweep it up and leave with it!)

Tom Kostopoulos, for his part, proved to be a wanna-be thug and brainless dud as he was the only one of all the damn Habs players that did not heed the police's barked orders that urged the goon squad to disperse (and not even DREAM of standing up for their fallen-from-grace teammate, O'Byrne...) and so he was arrested too - and could just as well be labeled as an accomplice in the (so-called) "Grand Theft" there, eh? As long as the two goofs are not further labeled as "criminal masterminds" in the process...! (The heights of ludicrousness would be achieved then!)

Kosto le costaud chose the wrong peeps -in the police- to try and be intimidating... If he can't even scare off Mighty Ducks or Blue Jackets, how can he possibly imagine himself scaring away Tampa's Finest...?!?
(That's right - TAMPA's! Because the damn geeks on ice chose to commit their crimes NOT even in their own city but while visiting another town! What gall - these morons!)

They might dare say that the same is true for other franchises - everybody has at least ONE "wayward child" in their line-up. Even the near-Perfect Patriots just saw one of their own, defensive back Willie Andrews, get arrested recently... It happened one day after the Super Bowl fiasco (not to be confused with the Soup & Bowl fiesta!) and the mere disappointment of not having won the Big One as the Pats so deserved already provides some EXCELLENT excuse for having broken some law(s)...
But what law was broken here, exactly? All Andrews did involved (ALLEDGEDLY) being in the possession of some drug... And he has pleaded not guilty to that! As you can see, that is NOTHING when compared to O'Byrne's transgression and/or "Kosto le Costaud" and his meek attempt at unnecessary roughness there...!

Sure, there were several more Patriots arrested for a variety of reasons in recent years (Terry Glenn, Ty Law, Johnathan Sullivan, Kevin Faulk) - but all proved to be redeemable good guys in the end!

Not so with the damn Canadiens!

We could lambaste several current players on the team - but why give them the honor of being named alongside Patriots who had brief run-ins with the law? No - we shan't do that! Instead, let's look back...

Back to the 70s we go - when the damn Habs had despicable individuals such as Mario Tremblay, Serge Savard and Ken Dryden in their ranks! A little smug jerk like Mario, a wanna-be politician and a LAWYER (that says it all) and also wanna-be politician - need I say more?!? Others on that team gave off such heinous vibes as well - Guy Lafleur himself (heck, look at his son's own troubles with the law; it's in his GENES) and you will realize that, they may have won, but they truly did NOT DESERVE TO BE EVER DEEMED TO BE "WINNERS" - AT ALL! Just like the loathsome New York Mets of 1986 or the execrable Los Angeles Lakers of just about any year (The Kobe-Pau Gasol era sure qualifies splendidly!) - they're a bunch of jerks, not great athletes, and much less heroes!

And so, in conclusion, the damn Habs who are being PROTECTED by their damn team and not being castigated in any way by their organization, are truly LUCKY S.O.B.s who are finally being shown up for what they are TRULY WORTH, in the media at least.


May their team"s silly backers FINALLY see the error of their ways!
But, quite frankly, I don't hold my breath for THAT...!
