"I thank David Cronenberg, but I dedicate this award to the Montreal Canadiens. We'll be back next year with a vengeance."
"In this new Donald Trump-inspired era of Canadian nationalism, I believe most across the country are pulling for the Canadiens against their American opponents."
"Mortensen knows something about that cross-border pull. His own love for the Habs stretches back to a turning point in his life, when he was feeling a little bit lost as he entered his teenage years."
"Young Mortensen hadn't known what to make of his new surroundings at first. No one spoke Spanish. He felt as if he was at the end of the world."
Viggo Mortensen, known for his role as Aragorn, is a dedicated fan of the Montreal Canadiens. He famously displayed a Canadiens flag while accepting a Genie Award in Toronto. The Canadiens are currently in the playoffs, representing Canada as the only remaining team. Mortensen's connection to the team began during his teenage years after moving to Watertown, New York, where he felt isolated and disconnected from his Argentine roots. His love for the Canadiens grew during this challenging time.
