A perfect sports team would never lose, it would gain popularity and keep it by reaching out to the community and its players would never get in trouble. The United States would understand why hockey is perfect, it is the action the adrenaline the seizmographic hits and electrifying passes, and the miracle goal that stole the show.
So what city has the perfect sports team it has to be Montreal, the Montreal Canadiens have all the history and the goal keepers that make the sports world take notice, it remains a team that has perfection in players like Maurice "Rocket" Richard, and Guy LaFleur, and Ken Dryden and George Vezina. When the Canadiens will return to NHL prominence is not known but fans of the NHL know it spells perfection when that happens.
What about comparisons to the New York Yankees? Comparing the Montreal Canadiens to the Yankees is odious. The Canadiens are in a different league to the Yankees and when the Canadiens lift the Stanley Cup it is the meaning of perfect moments, memories and sport; the Stanley Cup and the playoffs for it are the best time in sports, the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs can tell you that, but the Canadiens can show why when they are in the contest for it.
So hockey fans in the provinces of Canada and the United States of America get ready for the National Hockey League in 2006-07. Will perfection be the game in Montreal once again, stay tuned.
I must admit I love the sport of hockey. Got to see a lot of quality play during my days at the U. of NoDak. To this day some of the best, and loudest, sporting events I've ever attended. But I've gotten away from it recently, especially since the missed season in '04-'05. But just reading your post makes me miss it a little bit. I grew up a Bruins fan, due to watching Bobby Orr as a young boy, but I remember the great Canadiens teams of the 70s and all their great players.
Note to self: set aside time to watch hockey next season.
Greatest team in my lifetime? Islanders of the early 80s.
Very few sports as exciting as playoff hockey.
Thanks for re-charging my hockey batteries.
Thanks Mean for stopping in. Should the Canadiens win the Cup then notice one thing will happen, the resurgence of the NHL. If the Wings, Hawks, Leafs or Bruins win it will resurge not on the level it would if the Habs win, the best thing for the game would be if the Canadiens won a Cup soon.
Ricko Bobby Orr is the man when it comes to offensive defense, he took the game to another level and to bad he was cut short in his career by knee problems. I did my job one person in the USA is going to watch more hockey this year.
AMEN the gospel of Hockey has reached one person.
Live in Lansing, MI. And proud fan of MSU, Detroit Red Wings, Pistons and Tigers. If I could sit and talk with a person it would be George Washington. Books and writing are fun and important at the same time.
I like movies, fine wine, food, and cold beer on a humid day in Michigan is a must. I have lived for the moment when time stops; a song by a rock band that is comparable to Mozart.
