Subject: RE: BS: Montreal Hockey Riot Proud Tradition
yeah , sure was....nutso shit..... there was a time not long ago when folks would steal a back-hoe from a construction site in the wee hours of the morning then drive it right thru the entrance of the bank... chain up to the ATM ripping it from the wall and off they rode... happened quite a lot...the Denver Boot didn't last too long either. Too many ended up in pieces on the curb... lots of zany stories esp. around the docks and harbour.... would make an interesting book... i think the 'stop-watch gang' were written about... FBI were after them for years..
it's a helluva lively town, hockey and all................. et les belles femmes
