this is the proper French spelling. Like “Je suis Americain.” or “Philadelphie” for Philadelphia. Or was this just to be funny?

>>In addition to being Canadian, which gives them an unfair advantage to begin with

Last time I checked, more than 3/4 of the Flyers roster is Canadian. Save for a few Scandinavians and a kid from Pittsburgh. Unclear on the so-called advantage that the Habs have based on this.

Also, Boston just took MTL to a 7 game series…and they were the 8th ranked team in the conference. The Flyers managed to eke out a 6th place position, granted through some missteps on behalf of the Penguins and Carolina, but still. Don’t rule anything out just yet.

The Habs nickname comes from “Les Habitants,” which means people of the land/rural people/locals/canadian hicks from the sticks…I think it was first used as an insult, but now it’s loved.
