Hockey is a cover up for Honkey. Its is a White sport, hence NBA stands for Nothing But Africans, and NFL is for Negros For Life and MLB is for Majority Latin Baseball. So it makes sense that the NHL is National Honkey league!

There are several people and places where hockey is claimed to have originated. Some say Kingston, Ontario (ask Don Cherry), others in a place (I forget the name) in Nova Scotia. It was most likely College students looking to make use of the elements. Personally, I don't care where or how it was invented, I just care that it was!

Montreal Canadians have 25 Stanley cups but they were not called the Canadians all the way through and at the begining of the NHL there were only 6 teams so it was a lot easier to win. Second behind them is the Toronto maple leafs my home team and soon to be out of the play-offs :)

I think this is a site where you can match up any team from any era against whoever you want.  The database will produce a boxscore for your game and all the appropriate stats.  Pretty cool actually, but I got bored of it after half an hour or so.  Matched up the 73 Washington Capitals with the 78 Canadiens and got a 23-1 result for the Habs.

The history of ice hockey is one of the most contested in all of sports. The city of Montreal had been traditionally credited with being the birthplace of hockey, but early paintings contest this claim; 16th-century Dutch paintings show a number of townsfolk playing a hockey-like game on a frozen canal.\n\nKingston, Ontario, and Windsor, Nova Scotia, also lay claim to its origins for similar reasons. And many think that hockey began in Virginia, the evidence of this was a post on a Williamsburg Newspaper in colonial time that recorded a snow storm and recorded hockey being played in Virginia.

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 seems a natural nickname for the Montreal Canadiens, established in 1909 as a French-Canadian hockey team appealing to the city's Francophone community. \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
