Habs vs. Leafs, even in the PRC!

I took this pic at the HK Museum of History. There was a small temporary exhibit on China's propaganda posters. This one jumped out:


You can't read the small description but it says:
Great Game of Ice Hockey, oil painting by Yangzu Lao. This image depicts the great game of hockey and the hopes of a great nation in its healthy youth. It shows the diversity of activities for young people in 1950's PRC, and that the Montreal Canadiens can kick Toronto Leafs ass, even in China. Go Habs Go!

It's all true, I swear!

Have a funny feeling that's a different shade of red than the Habs are used to. Similar in the way it inspires ideological zealotry, mind you.
