The Olympics break was good for Montreal. They again have the desire to win. Now hopefully they will keep on winning and return Lord Stanley's cup to its proper home.

I assume you mean Canada, but to be precise wouldn't the "proper home" for Lord Stanley's Cup be Ottawa?

Nope, I meant that the break was good for Montreal. They are playing better now than before the Olympics.

The proper home for the Stanley Cup is Montreal. It's been there more often than anywhere else and has stayed in Montreal for longer at any one time than anywhere else.

I was being sarcastic. After all, didn't Lord Stanley ultimately reside in Ottawa?

I know that you were being sarcastic and I took it that way. Lord St anley used to live in Ottawa, although he was only a temporary resident.

I was being facetious when I said that the proper home for the Stanley Cup is in Montreal. I also had to get a dig in at Toronto which hasn't won nearly as many cups as Montreal.
