    Down here in scenic New Brunswick, we have black bear issues and certain factions want to increase the bear hunt and issue a two bag limit to thin out the herd. I'm OK with fewer bruins around.

    I see they put in Tarnasty to keep Lucy and the the other nutbars honest.

    I'm watching the last few episodes of Breaking Bad, Walt is fucking kookoo.

  2. 1. LOVE the new banner, moe!

    2. Between last night's Breaking Bad, hockey starting up, iOS7 on Wednesday and the iPhone 5s on Friday, I might die from all the excitement!

    3. Speaking of Breaking Bad, holy. freaking. shit. I literally had to pause it as Skyler was running after Walt because I was so overwhelmed with shock/anxiety/sadness. So far, every episode has gotten more intense than the next and I can't wait to see how it all ends for Mr. White.

    4. Now, I know this is just preseason and all and I'm sure Malcom is a nice guy but I still hope they crush him!

    5. GYFHG!!!

    P.S. Missed you guys & gals!

      I hope Steve doesn't see that spoiler, although it wasn't a big surprise how that went down.

      Personally, I think Jesse takes Walt out. Not sure how, but that's my hunch.

      Price makes a save on Iggy. That's a start.

    3. I think Flynn has something coming.

    4. I think Walt comes back (flash forward shown in season 5 premiere) to save Jesse but somehow doesn't make it out alive.

    5. Am I evil I read the spoilers today before watching.
      I think with a bit of counselling Skyler and Walt could have gotten over killing a DEA fuck brother in law, and Jesse, once a narc live in hell Bitch.

  6. I am feeding directly off RDS, way better than a Euro redirect. Maybe now I will be able to discern the small differences that make someone a Hab instead of anything else.

  8. PFK is going to double his points this year just for a start, other than that, this game is boring, somebody has to go all Walt on pretzel.

    Nothing has changed at the Tronna Sports Network. Habs and Leafs both lose, so Habs get the front page banner, while the leaf story is buried about 6 deep.

    Watched a bit of the third. meh.

      I'm afraid Louie has been by-passed in the organization by many other prospects. He was chosen in the 2009 draft which was held in Montreal as part of the over-hyped and failed (by team expectations) 100th anniversary, mainly because he was francophone. The better pick would have been Simon Despres chosen 30th by Pittsburgh. I don't think he was ever going to be more than a decent 3rd line guy, which is where Bournival is probably headed. Louie has had too many injuries, starting in junior to properly progress. Unfortunate for him.

      Delete
    3. Not sure the CH has given Lou a complete (and maybe deserved) look but the new mng't doesn't seem enamoured with him.

      Delete
    4. the Maritimer5:19 PM

      Probably true, I'm sure Dudley has watched all the prospects down in Hamilton and he's supposed to be a pretty good judge of horse flesh....or hockey players.

    5. Its obvious Louis can not skate, its on the Habs that he never learned how,

  15. I should also mention nice job spiffing the place up moe. Nice header, and I am sure I am the only one who noticed the new HTML title and favicon. Well done.

  16. Its never to soon to panic or tank, except in 2014 there is no franchise player, what a bulimia.

      Yeah, but this is a guy that has to watch Marc-Andre Fleury on a nightly basis.

      I'd trade Price for Sid straight up.

  18. O Brother is one of my top movies and soundtracks. Nice.

    Hockey blah blah blah. It starts counting in 2 weeks. THEN we can all panic.

    Maritimer, if you're not caught up on BB, STOP HERE.

    So what 'couple of things' does Walt have left to do. I assume it's take care of Todd and his uncle and get his effing money back for one. Not sure how it's going to end, maybe his saving Jesse's ass. Best thing about this show - you just don't know.

  20. It smarts when our number one draft pick is not worthy. Who is at fault, lets blame someone. The fact is picking an 18 year old to be a market leader at 22 is not easy. Everyone thought that by 22 I would be ruling the world, and look how wrong they were.

    ReplyDelete
  21. So apparently they're having trouble selling tickets to Friday's game up in Quebec City. Well gee, it's preseason Habs vs the Whalercanes in NORDICKS COUNTRY. Maybe they should have sent the Avalanche. Idiots.

    Always said and will always say: Want the Habs to succeed? Bring back the Nordicks so all this "make the team French" crap can go up there and leave us alone.

  22. Moeman, and all 4HFers...today is my birthday. I've googled stuff and found out that nothing really significant happened on this exact date in the year I was born. Loads of shit happened in the year I was born, including the Civil Rights Act being signed into US Law, and the Beatles Holding down the top 5 places in the billboard charts.

    On the Habs front...At the age of 71, general manager Frank Selke reluctantly submits his resignation and Sam Pollock begins his term as the head of the team. Scotty Bowman becomes coach of the junior Canadiens. Habs coach is Toe Blake.

    The Habs finish the regular season in second place behind Detroit. They beat the leaf in the semi-finals and win the Stanley cup in 7 games against Chicago!

    I hardly ever make predictions but I'm gonna allow myself one today...All the stars are lining up for the Habs this season. Detroit is back in East and Chicago are the reigning champs. Mark my words good people of GYFHG! - It's gonna happen again this year!

    Go Habs Go!! Go Habs GO!! Go Habs Go!!! Go Habs Go!!!!

      The Thrilla in Manilla was Ali vs. Fraser. Smokin' Joe was my favourite. Never liked Ali, the mouth who roared. I remember when Ali lost to Ken Norton who was fucking ripped (muscular). It was a big deal at the time.

      The heavyweight game is dead now. Lennox Lewis was the last great one.
