"We're just a good team. We're fast, we're strong, we're big. A lot of teams just don't know how to play us and really can't handle us. I think you saw that for 40 minutes. They just had really no clue how to stop us, but I think their goalie played well. We're just big and strong." - Joe Thornton. 2/28/09. Montreal 3, San Jose 2.

I wanted to post this quote
Because it appears to have drawn the ire of more than a few Habs fans. Apparently he came across as far too cocky for being a habitual playoff choker whose team just lost.
Personally, I like the swagger he’s shown this season.
I'm a happy seal
Yeah, me too
and he’s not gloating when he says that stuff…I think that’s what pisses other teams/fans off. He just says it in a matter of fact way.
Fear the Fin....where being an old guy isn't all bad
As they say in Texas
It’s not bragging if you can do it.
At any rate – the Habs last night wanted Joe’s head, mainly for his time in Boston (what a rivalry…).
I’m currently in Philly, though actually, I need to go NOW. Boarding just started. I’ll be at SFO at midnight…. yay me.
I’ll post my Montreal adventures tomorrow, unless there’s a big trade, in which case I’ll put it in the fanposts.
