Canadiens Desecrate Rocky Statue

As the assassination of Franz Ferdinand sparked the ugliest of wars, this desecration of a cultural icon certainly means the Flyers must bring the wrath of Balboa unto the Canadiens this evening. Eh?

Another photo (UPDATE: and video!) after the jump.

UPDATE: Thanks to Goot, we've found the culprit!

this is officially war, they want to fuck around lets fuck around, lets get a nuclear missile and drop it right on montreal, i really wouldn't mind

[Jim]

Look at how hillariously short and fat pig-man is.

[sean]

oink oink

[bigmyc]

Is Jimmy Dowd from north or south Jersey? I am hoping south...we need someone on this team who can really relate to this situation. Kimmo; from Finland. Hartnell, Carter and Richards; elsewhere, Canada. Biron and Briere; that foul backyard from which this blatant disrespect comes from, R.J.; Pittsburgh (close but not the same)....

Jim Dowd; N.J. Certainly, with him sporting the Dave Schultzer from the 70's along with his "neighborhood" ties to Rocky of the same era, he should be able to get as fired up about a Hab ass kicking as anyone.

[theKrisheim]

now we can finally put some faces to the names of the mysterious "dale hunter" and "capsfan19."

[gootman]

Someone needs to find these assclowns and teach them a lesson. None of those runners are Flyer's fans that would put a stop to this?

WAR!!!

[Habsfan]

Hahahaha! Philly got OWNED!!! Go ROCKY! Habs fan for life!

[Phils Phan]

I'll be driving towards the City via Lancaster. On my way, I'll pick up a few fellas to, you know, shoot them in the face.

[Matt]

Guess these idiots dont know what happens when you put jerseys on monuments around here. Kiss of death.

[Habsfan]

Come on guys, Rocky is a movie character, fictional... you act like the is George Washington! Would Mickey Mouse be even worst?
LMAO! GO HABS GO!

[John Kruk]

Indeed, fictional. Just like "Great Canadian Military Victories."

[j13]

Generally not a big fan of violence sparked over sporting events, but these guys have serious ass-kickings coming to them.

[Mike L.]

As Charles would say; "the dumbest people in the history of sports fans" do they have any idea what they just did? Don't let em surrender if you find cause you know they'll try it.

[Joe Manning]

If these guys did this later in the afternoon - or on a nicer day - when people were around and saw them ... they'd be dead in the Schuykill river by now.

[Chris]

Poor pig man, they ripped up your crusty little jersey. He should have wiped his ass with your snout.

[Jameson]

I know it was crappy out but how did no one stop them, the video is like five minutes long.

[Chris]

A group of guys do stop them at the end of the video.

[How do you spell retard?]

That guy and the fat toddler in a pig mask must be punched.
We must destroy their William Shatner statue.

[Ron Hextall]

These Montreal fans are pretty much useless. Much like their country. Great win by the Flyers tonight. Now the stinkin Canadiens fans can find some other excuse for losing.

[broadstreetbully]

I tried to desecrate a statue of a Canadian hero once while I was up in Canada.
After 3 days of searching for one, I came back home.

[broadsteetbully]

What kind of country is it where you have to cross two borders to see a donkey show?

[Weapon X20]

all in favor of turning pig boy into canadian bacon, say, "I"

[doubleh]

Doesn't matter--they just ended up jinxing their team. Didn't they learn anything from when the Caps tried to use Rocky against us? Just pisses Rocky off, man, and you know what happens when he gets pissed. He kicks Hab ass, that's what!!!

[Rich]

Those two M.F'ers are lucky someone didn't beat their asses into the ground. As a Flames' fan I can only cheer for other teams now. Rest assured the Habs ain't it! Don't peg all Canadians as being the same as CanadiEns fans. They're a particular (in) breed of their own!

[front liberation du Cauchon]

Flyers partisan,folks,morning man. You waste my opinion of you (im canadian and proud to came from the city who have win a few stanley cup...more than you by the way and i dont mess with anybody in your city) Desecrate Rocky statue and take this to a serious affront..and just re-read your post..Somebody wake me up!!I dont understand why somebodies CAN take liberty of expression after write something like-- Indeed, fictional. Just like "Great Canadian Military Victories"(and what's the dignity of a country who give liberty to jewish community)hum hum.... -- or --I'll be driving towards the City via Lancaster. On my way, I'll pick up a few fellas to, you know, shoot them in the face. --

[themajor]

@du Cauchon I am a fan of montreal its a nice city and enjoyed my visit there a few years back, girls could have been better looking but a few beers(few=alot) but if you know anything about this city and city that hasn't won a championship in a really long time we take pride in the things that have been very successful whether fictional or not. And this whole notion of diplomacy and taking things and blowing them out of proportion. How quickly your memory fades I did not see any flyers fans rioting after a first round playoff. You can take you notion of diplomacy and shove it up your ass. Leave it for somebody who can't pronounce diplomacy to use it.

[themajor]

since you had made us read your crappy translation heres one for you

@Du Cauchon je suis un ventilateur de montréal son une ville agréable et ai apprécié ma visite là quelques ans soutient, les filles auraient pu être meilleur regarder mais meilleures quelques bières (peu de = alot) mais si vous savez n'importe quoi de cette ville et cette ville qui n'a pas gagné un championnat dans un temps vraiment long nous sommes fier des choses qui ont été très réussi si fictif ou pas. Et cette notion entière de diplomatie et prendre les choses et les soufflant de la proportion. Comment rapidement votre mémoire je palît n'a pas vu de prospectus que les ventilateurs font le tapage de du après un premier match décisif circulaire. Vous pouvez vous prendre la notion de diplomatie et le pousse en haut votre âne. Le partir pour quelqu'un qui ne peut pas prononcer la diplomatie l'utiliser.

[Dave]

What you Philly fans (and most sports fans) don't understand about the Montreal riot is that the people who initiated it and participated in it are NOT Habs fans or hockey fans for that matter.
The people responsible for the riot are just low-life savages who take advantage of a peaceful celebration of victory to turn it into mayhem.
Sadly, this makes us Habs fans look like idiots to the rest of the sports world.

2nd thing you guys don't understand is that Super Pig who brilliantly put the jersey on Rocky (fictional character--- it's not like he spray painted the Habs logo on the White House or anything like that) apparently planned the whole thing along with your Number 1 radio station Q102.
This apparently was done in order for Flyers fans to get 2 tickets to Monday's game had they caught Super Pig.

This was just a JOKE, a PRANK like any Jackass prank/stunt.
So everybody just chill the fuck out!!!

Go Habs Go!!!

[Kale]

"and what's the dignity of a country who give liberty to jewish community"

WTF are you implying you racist nazis pig? Go die in a fire, the world is already full on assholes...we don't need any more from america jr polluting our city.

[Bung]

Oh NO! They taped a jersey on a fictional character. Who next? Chewbacca? The Predator?

[Pete D]

Cauchon does make one good point...we can't be making too much anti-French Canadien sentiment since we do have a few on our team. That has to be the best broken english comment on this site I've ever seen. Vive le Douche Cauchon!

[michael]

lame hacky radio stunt. i should pay attention to this? this type of radio is so embarrassing. i like the fake abs on that slobs suit.

[gootman]

Radio stunts are lame. Q102 is lame. These guys should still get beat up, fictional character or not we don't want your douchebaggery near our statue.

[SLolz]

Ahhh, Philadelphia's best and brightest.

Making the rest of the country look good.

[MTL-jusqu'aubout!!!]

LOL, wanna get these guys? they are from a popular radio station in Montreal Called CKOI 96.9fm. The Pig guy is formerly known as "SUPER COCHON" or super pig for those of your who dont understand the french language, and somewhat of a folk hero up here. Although i seriously disagree with this type of showmanship, im still a habs fan! se yall in game 7. lol Go HABS GO!

[PhilyFan]

2-1 Flyers, Canadian knobgobblers. Enjoy the East Finals from the friendly confines of your insignificant hinderland, you wannabe chesse eating surrender monkeys.

[Will]

Come on guys! I'm a french-canadian Habs fan but think what Super Cochon (which is not that popular down here by the way...) did was totally stupid whether or not Rocky's a fictional character. Don't blame all Canadians and Montrealers for that crappy thing. All the comments written up here about vengeance are very useless. The best vengeance will be to eliminate Montreal Canadadiens (hope not!) if so. You won yesterday. Good for you! We should leave all the political and historical stories of both countries away. Just let the hockey be a sport! Most of you americans and us canadians are good sportfans....we have good american players in our team as you have good canadians players as well. Just cheer for Flyers as it's a very good team (I'm jealous of Biron who was awesome these last 2 games!). I'll be cheering for Habs as we aren't that bad! Price will stand up...hopefully!! Let the best team win! I remind you that Super Pig acted like a dumbass...let him makes a fool of himself! Hope the best team win and bring back the cup in eastern conference!
Good luck guys!

[CW]

Habs fans are such rubbish!
They boo the national anthem of the US, boo Briere because he made a great decision to play for the better team!
The habs scored what...one even strength goal in 3 games? BOO THAT!

[Senor Beavis]

Thank God they didn't use a Flyers Jersey...

We don't need the statue curse haunting us.

[The Teacher]

Habs inside/out site and Franco Canada tells America to shut up and find another war to lose. That statue looks better in OUR tricolor than Halloween colors like your team has. Is it true that according to censors, 42 percent of Philadelphia males 18-45 are Queer? Better cover that Paisan Statue up then.

[Dave]

The Flyers are a guud teem, and Amerikkka has grate skools, we can beet youre habz up az we have size to kik youre butz. Pilladelffia has alot of gay homo barz and i go to aloot, habs inside/out kan kisz my asz.

[Habsguy from Sutton]

Dave often frequents Habs inside/out for our trivia show, with guests, games and prizes. He also looks for young boys and gives out his email all the time.He also posts on Penguins sites as Attila thE Butt. Watch him, a real loser. Hear HE AND some friends got those Canadiens jerseys from Modells, and pretended to be Canadiens fans to cause trouble. Montreal fans are amongst the most civil in the league. Dave is your problem and has a record too.

[michael]

whoooaa "The Teacher" you really got us EYY? they don't call it Queerbec for nothing.

[www.flyershive.com]

Silly Frenchies....

LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!

[tom]

I'm ashamed that half of you actually care that Sylvester Stallone was wearing a Habs jersey. The stunt was low-brow and boring at best--leave it at that. Go Flyers.

[dez]

Get over it, the only reason your pissed is because you didn't think of that prank first.
It's all in good fun as should be taken as so.
May the best team WIN!

[carlo bossio]

Ofcourse a miselle needs to be dropped on Montreal!!!! What a bird brain!!!!

[carlo bossio]

Ofcourse a miselle needs to be dropped on Montreal!!!! What a bird brain!!!!

[The Sicilian]

Habs inside/out site has a naked photo of Michaels Mother, Stache and "All". Mike is a transvestite and its his fat boyfriend you see at the Statue. He also posts at Habs inside/out as Habsguy, so who is fooling who. Look out Americans, at the skirs, its a bird, its four planes.

[Michael]

So what, its transsexual, not transvestite, surgery next month, and oops.

[Walklett]

That was the most bizarre exchange of comments I have ever read on a sports blog.

Do not try to understand the mindset of a Philadelphia sports fan, you'll never get it. We're way cooler than you.

[enrico]

Can't we all just play hockey and beat each other up on the ice?

Play nice, kids.

[Edward]

Even though the official tourist site for Montreal boasts "Why we are a world-class gay destination", I can't seem to find a single landmark worth desecrating in orange and black.

[SteelCity412]

I'm a Pens fan but I gotta stand by my fellow Americans here.

First, who wears a cape?

Second, why do these jokes take like three minutes to put the stupid jersey on Rocky? Poor planning and execution.

Third, maybe the dumbest fans in hockey. They riot after beating an 8 seed in 7 games. And now this. JOKES

[jun]

i live in philly..all their fans, especially the flyers ones are straight trash.

go habs.

[enrico]

yes, all philadelphia fans are trash.

thanks for the brilliant analysis.

[Yaxley]

The Habs have owned Philly the last two games (any true fan on either side can see that). Philly is lucky the Carey hasn't been very good in nets, otherwise this series is 3-0, easily.

GO HABS!

[enrico]

So what you're saying is: the Cabs have owned Philly except for the goalie because the Flyers won. Twice.

I really can't stand some of the moronic comments from fans of other teams lately. What gives you all the desire to come here and post illogical comments and end it with GO MY TEAM!

[LeoSC]

Holy smoke, Philadelphians, remember that Rocky doesn't even exist, he's a figment of someone's imagination, same as great American military victories in the last 60 years. Should I enumerate them? Korea = stalemate; Vietnam = stalemate or run out under the cover of darkness?; Iraq = what can I say? The only one you guys seem to have an upper hand is in Afghanistan, where Canadian Forces are fighting alongside of you. Oops, I almost forgot: 1812 = stalemate.

[Ghost4point]

Rocky's IQ just hit triple digits!!!

[J cohen]

Typical american reaction. Go start some war in a country that you have no business being in!!! And you wonder why the rest of the world laughs at you!
Violent, ignorant people that you are!

[enrico]

J cohen: SARCASM, HUMOR. Get a sense of it.

ASD#Q$@#$@#JFDSIJFDSIJ@#$

[J cohen]

lol- youre telling me to get a sense of it? it's a statue of a FICTIONAL CHARACTER!!!!!

[Marc]

How did these FROGS even get into this country? Border patrol obviously lets anyone in. That's sad.

[pcfan]

Guys i think we are missing the real issue here. How is Q102 still on the air.

[Tom]

Yo, Rich, from Tuesdays messages. Can you repeat your message in English? If you want to come to our country learn how to speak English. And by the way, your mom is a Flyers fan!!!

[orange and black]

I just finished pissing on the CD of the Canadian national athem!!!!!

[orange and black]

I agree with Steelcity 412. Who the fuck celebrates after a first series win by burning cars and riots? Stupid Frogs!!!!

[Bdizzle]

Name our best players? How about I name you something else? Lets find out the number of times one of our nonfictional players was hit with a beer DURING a contest? One. Then lets name the number of times a Canadien was confronted with the same type of ridiculous behavior in Philadelphia? Zero.

You don't understand this city at all. The way it works is basically like this...

You are respectful to us and we are respectful to you. If you mess with people here they will come back at you with twice the fury, generally speaking. The only reason there has not been more of that occuring in response to this little stunt is that the jersey was probably on there for all of a minute and then it was never discussed again.

If you're from Philly and you pull a stunt like that there's a good chance you're getting beat down. If you're from Montreal and you do something like that it's the same deal. All those people accomplished was making any Montreal fan that comes to Philly to view a game...EXTREMELY uncomfortable for the duration of their stay. So good job.

[Jabba]

Ghost4point:

That is the typical reaction of someone who sits on their butt and does nothing while criticzing others. Don't hate those who try help others.

Enrico:

Korea was a stalemate because of politics. Vietnam we never lost a battle. When was the last battle we lost?

1812 - are you kidding me??

[Jabba]

Enrico, The Flyers owned the Habs in game 3. The refs had to help you make it close at the end.

Enjoy your off-season doing whatever it is you do up in the wilderness.

[tom]

I went to Canada on a fishing trip once. About 20 years ago. I went up through the thousand island region. I stopped at the duty free shop to do a currency exchange. I gave them 1000 american dollars and they gave me 1470 canadian. That was nice. Very neighborly of them. Bummer I cant use that monopoly money in the states. Anybody got a loon or 2 they dont want?

[Imposterdamus]

In a week we'll have to worry about some morons tryign to put a Pen's jersey on a fictional characters statue... sigh...

Oh yea and Carey Price blows but we'd already beat Huet too so I guess it wouldn't have mattered either way.

Habs fans are funny though, you have to give that to them... and by funny I am total pussies.

[Imposterdamus]

I didn't even think of this but I wonder what the local Italian community thinks about the desicration of a fictional hero based on the acclaimation of a normal guy to glory through hard work, prayer and dedication. Guess we'll find out... good thing pig nose's face isn't showing enough for now.

[Louis The 13]

Does everyone like how i wiped my ass with the stupid habs jersey at the end of that video ahhahaha.

[USA! USA! USA!]

Habs fans can enter our country as they please without a problem just by showing some regular ID, like a driver's license? THAT'S SCANDALOUS!!!

Also, these FRENCH SPEAKING persons who BOOED our beloved anthem are putting a Habs jersey on the statue of a fictional character from some movie! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! How come INLAND SECURITY didn't react?! What if they had planted a BOMB instead of the JERSEY!!!

I believe our only option now is to BOMBARD CANADA since it is the only way we will protect our FREEDOOOOOM!!

"The Habs have owned Philly the last two games (any true fan on either side can see that). Philly is lucky the Carey hasn't been very good in nets, otherwise this series is 3-0, easily.

GO HABS!"

Yes, and if the queen had balls, she'd be the king.

YOU AND YOUR CRHABS ARE GETTING OWNED.

Deal with it, #1 seed.

[Backstop007]

No Power Play = No chance. Bye, Bye Habs. Oh, and say Hi to those weenies from NY on your way back North. BTW, what would could we put a Flyer's Jersey on near the Bell Center? An overweight transvestite stripper? Who really cares about Sylvester, other than his 'Roid dealer? The topic is hockey, and yer done... Nice cheap hit to set up the game winner by the way Begin...

[Tkmycall]

Rocky VII (or Rocky Balboa II) - Paulie fights that fat fuck in the pig costume - with one hand tied behind his back.

Good thing they didn't wait until game 6 to come to town. It may have been too late.

[Flyers#1]

3-1 Flyers.

Canadan sucks.

Prepare to burn your shitty city.

[Flyers#1]

3-1 Flyers.

Montreal sucks.

Prepare to burn down your shitty city in retarded riots.

[Tom]

Please don't compare all Canadians to these boneheads that call themselves Montreal fans!

We are not all like these arseholes. Because of the way they are I cannot stand the Montreal Canadiens their media or their obnoxious god damn fans!!!

GO FLYERS GO!! CRUSH THE BASTARDS!

[Tom]

Hey Enrico, feel sorry for you dude. Get a real team. Its time for you to sit down, tuck your head between your legs and kiss the Habs goodbye.

[paul]

all the refs are from canada and the habs still can't beat the flyers. go flyers

[tom]

Yo Habs fans, time to grab a lacrosse stick and play your real national game because you suck at hockey

[Bryan]

I heard Canada just got some new canoes to bolster their Navy fleet.

[DarrylSittler]

I'm not a Habs fan, nor a Flyers fan, but hockey fans... ok a Leafs fan.
I hate it when fan banter devolves into the USA vs. Canada.
Flyers fans - do you realize that 25 of the 41 players on the Flyers roster are Canadian? That's compared to 6 American players and 10 European players. Don't you see the irony in making statements that are derogatory to Canada as a country? Stick to berating the Habs fans, because they deserve it.

[ballstew]

I'm pretty sure Rocky wouldn't have minded it.

I picked up the Extended DVD Version of Rocky III the other day.
Balboa was wearing a Habs jersey while he was doing Clubber Lang at the gym.

[kprimo]

Have to agree with Weapon X20. I went to Game 1 of the Flyers/Caps series as the lone Flyers representative in a group of 7 Caps fans. They started playing this montage of clips from Rock through Rocky MCVXII (or something like that) where Rocky was suffering his early movie beat down. My friends were all laughing at me, at least until I said "Guys, Rocky eventually comes back and kills all of these guys in the rematch."

Well, we all know what happened to Clubber Lang, eh, uhm, I mean, the Caps. So mess with Rocky at your own peril, but do not try and channel his spirit unless you wear Orange & Black!

[blah]

Philly fans seem more concerned with Montrealers putting a shirt on a statue than they do with Philadelphians littering around said statue.
