'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In my head, if Vancouver was second, it was because they were listless and uninventive.
Definitely second. Canucks are a modern-era expansion team. The Habs go back nearly to the turn of the (last) century.
ETA:
The Montreal Canadiens ice hockey club, formally Le Club de Hockey Canadien, was founded on December 4, 1909. It is the oldest professional hockey franchise in the world,[1] and one of the four founding teams of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Now I imaging Quebec hockey going "Sitting right here! Fine, fuck you, seceding."
I have an application I can't print from. It's making me feel very stupid. And when I choose "export to PDF" I get no actual PDFs. And it mutters something about converting to HTML.
Look, technology, I have a busy day and a short fuse. Don't be ridiculous. Roll over and give it up.
So I did not realize that the N in NHL was actually Canada, although of course it should be.

Well, Wikipedia tells me the first four NHL teams were Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, and Quebec Bulldogs. So, one for the French, one for the random, one for the national capital, and one for Yale. Just kidding.
Well, "Canada" means village, so it's not like they're known for rocking the abstract metaphor.
I have also been Wikipedia-ing hockey teams. I had no idea that the Amerks were no longer the "farm team" for the Buffalo Sabres, but for some team in Florida.
I'm pretty sure I'm contractually obligated here to say: GOOOOOO BRUINS!!!!!
(The first US team in the NHL!)
