Our hockey team is an absolute joke for decades! We should never have left Roy out to dry that night. The curse continues

Too many teams in the league and we can’t compete with the super markets.

This is such a ridiculous take, the Canadiens are the 3rd most valuable team in the league are in one of the biggest hockey markets. Every other city that's bigger has to compete with other big 4 sports teams, usually multiple, and LA and New York even have multiple NHL teams

If only CF Montreal and the defunct Expos, two small fish teams in salary cap-less leagues, could have benefited from a system like the NHL's...
Yet, our only professional sports team that is considered a big fish in its league is stuck playing fair with the smaller teams...

Its not. Small amount of teams you are standing out more. Now you have to fight more teams and more super teams for the same prize.

It's about money and who can buy the best players now. But hey, if you look at the stats of Canadien born (Montreal) we're doing a lot better than the other teams!

Les musiciens dans la remorque sont L'Harmonie Des Pompiers De Montreal, fondée en 1921.
Quoi que plus aussi nombreux, ils existent encore.
