The Four Habs Fans are four Habs fans. Three are from Montreal, though one of those is now stuck in the middle of the Red Mile. The other somehow grew up a Habs fan in the middle of Ontario Cottage Country, and now lives in Hogtown. They are all lawyers, so they are opinionated, and may or may not be assholes. HabsFan29 and HabsFan4 used to share season tickets (in the whites, they're not rich lawyers) so they could see the Habs suck in the flesh. But now that the Habs may be good, we've given up the tix. We can't deal with success.
HabsFan4 pays tribute to one of the finest gentlemen to ever don a Canadiens sweater. His legacy as one of the pioneers of the Gangsta Rap movement has always been understated.
HabsFanForever33 aka Panger is a Montrealer in Exile currently residing mere blocks from the Red Mile, yet whose passion for all things Canadiens has only embiggened with distance. HFF33 worships at the altar of St. Patrick. Panger still gets chills recalling the moment he met the greatest goal-scorer of all time, The Rocket. HFF33 is a life-long Habs fan, except during the Houle-Tremblay Era, when Le Club de Hockey Canadiens was dead to Panger .
HabsFan10 grew up watching Le Demon Blond on Radio-Canada with his unilingual English Dad in a WASPy little town in Maple Leafs country, at least until the playoffs each year, when he got to hear Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin because the Leafs played on opposite nights (if they made the playoffs at all). Rick Middleton and Cam Neely sometimes haunt his dreams. He thinks Thurso, Quebec should be declared a national historical site. If you aren't sure what the 10 in HF10 stands for, you're on the wrong site, buster.

For a dose of reality we also refer you to the modified "Habs Record" at the top right of our page. Are we post lock-out good or pre-lock-out mediocre?
mediocre! mediocre!
i just can't ennjoy anything
Man, that's just purty beyond words. Not only are the habs #1, but TORONTO is near the bottom. Heh.
How did you guys figure the pre-lockout stats? Just turned anything that went to shootout into a tie, and then convert W/L in OT into "real" wins or losses?
I think that we'd still be pretty good for a pre-lockout team. At that time, all a team needed to be was .500 to have a shot at the post-season.
I think I'm dreaming.
But it's a happy, I shouldn't be awake this early but it's a great day dream. It's a fancy beer with rubber stopper tops type day I think.
Now let's cheer on the Rangers. So they can beat Pittsburgh!
@LG: I got Rock Band yesterday, which is why I was posting so late. I'm also in Calgary, so not so late for me ;)
I totally meant to say the Trashers not Rangers
^^ "I meant to say Trashers"
Truer words were never spoken.
@Fezworth - Not only are the Habs in first but you also get to play Rock Band??? I'd be jealous, if you didn't live in Calgary... ;-)
fez, where in calgary are you?
The pre-lockout stats are misleading though, because these days teams play differently knowing there's a three-point option available. If you took that off the table you'd see a lot more aggressive behaviour from teams, which would (presumably) benefit a team that scores as much as Montreal does. You could chalk up another handful of wins overall.
@bryan: SW, near Bow Tr & Sarcee
@LG: Life ain't perfect. But as you say, the Habs are in 1st, and I get to play Rock Band. Besides... I'm from Saskatoon. Calgary's an upgrade. :P
fez, you ever go out for the game? any place that shows the habs games? i live on 11th ave right across from the greyhound station
and if you have facebook check out the group called Habs Fans In Calgary that i made. maybe we can watch a game or somethin sometime.
LOL... bryan, I work about a block away from the Staples on 11th Ave. That's pretty close to you.
Yeah, I was thinking of doing something like that. We have two other habs fans at work, and Panger's out here too. I gather Cafe Metro on Mcleod Tr S is the place to go. Supposedly they have seats from the forum & everything!
Oh, Cafe Metro is closed now? Where did the forum chairs go?
dunno man. luckily i went there once last summer and had some smoked meat.
