Do Habs Have A Chance Tonight??

for give my ignorance and lack of nhl knowledge....why is there nick name Habs? thanks in advance

Habs is an abbreviation of "les habitants," the informal name given to the original settlers of New France, dating back to the 17th Century. So it's a natural fit for the The Montreal Canadiens, established in 1909 and marketed as a French-Canadian hockey team. Having said that, the nickname might have been the result of an error. According to NHL.com, the first man to refer to the team as "the Habs" was Tex Rickard, owner of Madison Square Garden, in 1924. Rickard apparently told a reporter that the "H" on the Canadiens' sweaters was for "Habitants." Not true. The distinctive C-wrapped-around-H logo stands for "Club de Hockey Canadien."

Nicky do you watch the Habs in English or French broadcast?

As an anglophone Nicky watches the habs in French 'cause he only understands the french announcers when the habs score, when they are commenting on how bad montreal's powerplay and goaltender is he doesn't understand - ignorance is bliss for anglo habs fans.

Sicky, you weren't the only one, pal.

Life is good for habs haters.

I don't hate the Habs or Quebec as much as you do, Plommer, but I am getting some satisfaction out of this beat-down the Bruins are putting on them.
