Despite what Montrealers think of themselves, they hockey fans have no class. There was an unmistakable echo of "Boo" filled the arena before Game Three of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals in Montreal between the Canadiens and the Boston Bruins. It wasn't directed at the Bruins. They weren't booing the official. Not Bob Gainey either.It was for the Star-Spangled Banner.In an utterly disgraceful showing of classlessness and disrespect, Canadiens fans joined together to boo the American anthem. It's great to have passion for hockey but that display had nothing to do with hockey. But afterall this is Montreal. The Hab fans are most famous for rioting after Rocket Richard was suspended for attacking an linesman back in 1955.
