Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

Sell your tickets, PVR the game and go watch your son play. The Habs will still suck next season and you will not be missed at Rogers Arena.

It's really not a hard decision, or at least it shouldn't be. He's never going to play another minor hockey game after tomorrow. Spend some quality time with him before he's deployed to the Ukrainian steppe. :cool:

I haven't missed a game in Vancouver since Nov 1980 (other than Trudeau and Horgan's capricious decision to ban fans in 2021). Don't intend to start.

I am so not looking forward to going tomorrow.

First, our team is brutal and we have little chance of winning.

Second, I will miss my son's last ever games in minor hockey (he has one at 4pm and then was support to meet me at Rogers but his team has done better than expected so he might have a medal game later). I told him he can miss the Canadiens for a gold medal game but he isn't sure what he wants to do yet.

Third, the constant losing is depressing as hell

I don't even think it's a discussion. Go watch your son play. Habs'll be back next year, hopefully with a better roster. Your son's not going to be playing any games after this year.

So...fuck your son's last game because a pro team that doesn't know or care that you even exist won't have you in the arena for a meaningless regular season game that they'll probably lose anyway?

Also, it's spelled "completely justifiable and reasonable", not "capricious."

Being more offended than his son shows a clear fascistic outlook.

His son isn't supposed to care because he's young and does not yet understand that moments like this come around once and never again. But anyone Count's age (or anyone who can no longer pick up the phone and talk to their dad) knows that it's kind of a big deal.

or he understands that in 15 years I missed no more 10 of his games (if that), would work weekends to make up for leaving work to get him to games, skating, practices, travel tourneys, probably 150000-200000+ spent on his hockey and even will pay for his adult hockey starting in May..

No junior A or B?
 
I was thankfully at my son’s last hockey game at the U.S. Nationals in Michigan last spring/ I’m glad I was there . . , even though his ice time was limited and he was majorly irritated. He has not been on the ice once since then. Go to your son’s game.

After you're gone, he won't remember or care about the money you spent. He'll care about the time you spent. The Habs don't care either because "fuck the fans."
