You know you're a Canadiens fan when...

• The number 21, 273 means something to you.

• You still watch Bob Cole's call of the final minute of the 1993 Stanley Cup Final and get goose-bumps.

• You scream, yell and swear while watching the game at home.

• You barely hear the commentators on TV, because the fans in the Bell Centre are too loud.

• You recognize any Habs player walking down the streets.

• You start conversations with random people wearing Habs' clothing.

• You still remember the Good Friday Brawl vs. the Nordiques as if it was yesterday.

• You can name the players whose jerseys have been retired.

• You hang the flag of the team all year long.

• You travel to watch the team play outside Montréal, and you have no problem yelling “GO HABS GO” or singing “OLÉ.”

• You wear a Habs' jersey even though they're not playing.

   Hey Daniel,

   Everything you mention is true. I live in Pennsylvania now and I wear my Habs Jersey with pride at all the Penquins games when they play the Habs. I'm sure you have heard of the Waving of the Terrible Towel at Steelers games, well I do it when Habs play the Penquins. LOL.

   You can also add:

   When someone's asks about a price you're like....Oh Did you see that save last nigh? And that person just looks totally blanked out and you're like nothing happened!

   You have hour-long conversation with your friends about the game the night before even if you watched it together! Always come up with something or keep repeating the good stuff.

   Nice read!
