saying Briere is from Montreal is like saying someone from Pittsburgh is from Philadelphia.

So why did you boo him for the past 5 years every time he was on the ice in Montreal?

Gatineau, 10min from Ottawa, 2hrs from Montreal

Christian MF Thomas, doesn't sound the same. Sounds like a guy that gives bj's for 5 bucks.

Also, Japan Airlines FTW

You'll see a lot of those in Singapour, don't worry.

Same reason Subban gets booed in Philly, I guess?

Because he's a little bumhole.

Habs fans are racist?

Eller produced at the same pace as Desharnais with absolutely no powerplay time.

Kid improved every year.

He'll be a fine 2nd line center.

yeah i see him as a 20-goal, 55-point 2-way centre in the coming years. maybe even more assists if he starts to pick up some PP time. i think that's good enough for second line duties, provided you're getting adequate production from the line above.

funny how none of the above answers actually answered the question... what is the reason Danny got booed for 5 years in Montreal?

For the same reason you'll boo Giroux when he signs for Pittsburgh at the end of his contract.

If he did sign with Pitt, that would be completely different than Briere never even wearing a Montreal jersey and getting booed because he didn't sign with you guys.

I think my answer was perfect.

They don't boo him in Montreal, they boo him in the bell centre. They ask him for autograph in Montreal at the grocery store.

I'm okay with the signing if it is a one year deal. You think he doesn't push for 2-3 years?
- Biggus Richardus

I heard him on Sportsnet radio this morning...he said he wants 2 years, but would consider 1 or 3 if the situation was right. Nothing longer than 3 yrs though.

I wanted Brière back then, when I saw the term and money he signed for, I was glad to see him choose Philadelphia.

For the rest, I can't really speak for all Habs fans. I guess some people felt he never wanted to come here and that his agent just used the Habs to milk more money out of the Flyers.

You'd probably do better asking the people who actually booed.

Yea, I mean.. I can't really remember ever seeing a fan base boo a player for 6 years straight because he didn't sign with them.

Now, that's the best answer. Well said piqueur.

They did it because they were at the Bell Centre paying 11$ for a light tasteless beer

He leveraged Gainey's offer to get that deal. Every top UFA does that though. The only reason he gets booed is because he's French.

I am sure a large majority of the people in this blog have booed Danny at a game in Montreal...

Vinny signed that contract in Philly because he figured it was the easiest way to win a Cup in LA.

Now... does Vinny get booed when he hits the ice in Montreal?
