I kid because I can.

Thanks for the info, now I know.

I'm still rooting for the Sharks.

I'm not sure why you say it's funny, but nevertheless ila has given only part of the story.

The translation is correct, but the use of the word habitantes (or habs) to describe the team relates directly to the tenuous relationship the Quebecois have with English Canada. There were many who simply could not stomach the idea of their team being called the Canadiens, even with the French spelling, and so the team kind of adopted two names for its fans. Even the shirt has the "H" for habitantes inside the "C" for Canadiens.
