Dude, if that's important to you, then don't move to QC.
There are five different types of hockey fans in QC:
1) Disgruntled ex-Nords who buy Center Ice and still watch the Avs. Those are the worst because they raised kids who resent the Habs, thus perpetuating the hatred for another generation.
2) People who claim they've been Bruins fans since 1997, like that year is just pure coincidence. (not naming anyone here)
3) People who quit watching hockey altogether.
4) Bandwagon Habs fans who only pay attention if we win more than one round in the playoffs.
5) Hardcore Habs fans like me who got the heck out of there.
Other than making your significant other happy, can't really recommend you move there even for non-hockey reasons.
Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just have to be one of the hardcore fans there.
Quebec has change a lot in the last few years (for the goods), although your depiction of their hockey fans is spot on. My father is a type 3).
In what way? I'm still there once or twice a year to spend time with family and it just keeps getting more crowded and impossible to get around. The roads are crap and everything seems dirty. Tiny expensive homes. Cost of living an order of magnitude from what I remember.

I traveled a lot around Europe and North America, and the cost of living in Montreal is very low, appartements even in the most sought after neighborhood are quite low, buying homes is also affordable and this must be the safest city i've been to.
Im putting the over/under at 2mins on a Lucic crash the net/skate away with a dirty look when challeged to a fight by soneone who can legitemately handle themselves....and 4mins before one of them tries to hurt Galchenyuk.
Also, 10 secs before a bruins fan yells for the blood to flow
Again, what does that have to do with anything? They defend their team with passion. Same as we do when Subban hit Krejci, or Kunitz or when Patches hit Letang or when he went to the movies after his concussion.
We dont agree on much but thats what this site is for, friendly debate and to kill time until the next game.
I swear some of you take this stuff way too seriously.....
Ya no kidding. I see us saying "they said this on bruins board!" and them saying "they said this on habs board!" It's a rivalry, people need to chill out and enjoy it.

No. He's out which sucks because he always brings that intensity/passion to games like this one tonight. We also have Thorton sitting as well and Paille. So ,the B's are playing 4 AHL'ers on their offensive line tonight. As a B's fan this has me worried a little, but still love our D and all are healthy and in the lineup tonight. Should be a good one.

I agree that it's very safe but completely disagree on the price of homes. I've lived around NYC suburbs/Chicago/Denver and the price per square foot in QC is very high. My sister owns a 1500 sqft townhome in Sillery that she paid mid-400's for and I own a 3000 sqft single family home that cost me mid-300's in one of the nicest suburbs of Denver.

Bruins aren't *******. It's that simple. NO ONE ON THE BRUINS are afraid to drop them. If you come at anyone they will go one on one with you.

Yes but the price between the Suburbs and the city, the Plateau per instance aren't quite far. You can get a 1400 square feet for 250K$ in the heart of the Plateau, quite cheap actualy. Sillery is a very expensive neighborhood.

I remember watching one where even Savard lost his **** and tried to do the macho cave man thing and fought someone. Wouldn't be surprised if it contributed to his jello-brain syndrome.

John Scott seemed to have made the Bruins cower. After he beat up Thornton, Scott checked a bruin player (I think it was Krejci?) right in front of the Bruins bench. Then, Scott looked at the whole bench as if to say : "Yea, I did that too. There's nothing you can do about it."
And the Bruins did nothing of the game to put Scott in his place, nor did they retaliate on another player. They may look for redemption next game. But that match, the Bruins definitely looked like they were cowering.
Sure, they'll drop the gloves. It was easier back when the Habs didn't have much muscle apart from Moen. They might still do it tonight. Don't think they'll come off as easily.

I love Scott, but Lucic can take him, he won't look out of place.

Remember that Savard-Crosby thing? Wow. It was bad. I don't even care though cuz everyone **** talks, but didn't expect crosby to deliver.

I remember Chara also declining getting his face punched out.
