  10. Stock is a fucking joke. Says GMs should bring video of kidG to the league and say we want to protect our best players, we have to stop someone who has the most goaltender interference in the league. Habs complained about kreider but remember gallagher next time and if someone hurts my goalie and I'm a player on that team, well the next time I am going to hurt their goalie.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. KidG gets enough penalties already (too many) so the league and the refs and the pinheads have already singled him out. So, if I am DGMB or MT2 or KidG, test them and take it to the extreme and crash hard into say King Henry or whatever plug the Sens play. For fun. pjstuck is a wannabe kypreos minus the extended forehead.

  93. Just to summarize for any FHFers catching up in the morning:

    Habs spent 6 of the last 7.5 minutes of the game shorthanded.
    -Kneeing against Tiny. Totally accidental. Stajan really milked it, too. He was out the next shift.
    -Cross checking against PAP. Actual legit call (shocking, I know) although the Calgary guy was on his knees asking for it.
    -Hooking on Y(?). Also legit, but the Flame guy pretty much did Kyle Shewfelt's 2004 gold medal floor routine down the ice to sell it.

    But they pulled it off. All of this will pad their stats.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Sorry, just one more stat.

    All of last season MTL won only 9 games when the other team scored first. They've already won 6 so far this year. But I don't really want them to keep pushing their luck.

    ReplyDelete
  95. So I read through all the comments aboard the 7:11 to London Bridge this morning - Thanks Juce and Moeman and O-man (and any others) who stayed up and watched. Habs move on to Vancouver with an 8-2 record - Whoo Hoo!

    Now I have to watch to game later on to fully comment but the theme running through the comments were mainly about the Flames running TFS and the refs not paying any attention. 7-3 on the penalty front - which is bad - at this point I don't know if it's justified...I hate being the one crying that "the refs treat us bad", as I do feel that overall it evens out - mostly!

    Of far greater concern here - 19 shots! TOTAL! the Flames had 16 in the 2nd period alone! 19 Shots people - that is pretty piss poor. Gilbert notched his first goal because he put the puck on the net. If you shoot it at the net, you never know what is going to happen. Passing the puck endlessly in the offensive zone without taking a shot really is both fucking annoying and absolutely pointless. Wasn't it Wayne Gretzky who said "You miss 100% of the shots you never take" ? Now that may or may not make grammatical sense but the idea is right.

    The Habs might be 8-2 right now - but if they keep on taking only 20 shots a night they won't be for very much longer!!

    Go Habs Go!!!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I probably complained about the refs more than completely necessary. I would say most (though not all) of the Habs penalties were justified if they were calling a tight game. The problem is it was carte blanche on the other end. I will complain about the refs here during a game, but I know it's just game talk. But it's adding up over the last few games (and not just penalties). I've listed the stats earlier. I mean, someone's gotta be on bottom but it's just strange for a "small speedy" team.

      Anyway, it's painful to watch. Not their best game, but they got the job done. If you're a fan of TFS being TFS then it will be entertaining.

      Delete
  96. I want to dominate, not in a Jian Gomesh way, but on the ice. This team seems to be slipping back into a Chocula like coma. If this is not a cup contender its not to early to tank. Dive Capetian Dive.Barrfalo only manged 10 shots on net against the hapless leaf. We are going to have to dive hard and fast to get there.

  97. the Maritimer1:34 PM

    Since I didn't see the game, I'm just going by O-man's and juce's comment... sounds like the officiating was less than stellar. I don't rally care about that. The bottom line is the Habs won. That's all that really matters. What's been irritating me is all and I mean ALL the fucking morons working for Snet and by extension the CBC plus TSN all whining that the Habs aren't as good as their record indicates, their defence isn't that good, they only win in shootouts, blah, blah, blah. Well fuck all you jealous, petty leafools.

    Two quotes form the world of the NFL:
    1. Bill Parcells, Super Bowl winning coach : "You are what your record says you are."

    2. Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders : "Just win, baby."

    So. to reiterate: The Montreal Canadiens are 8-2 which says they are a pretty good team. They just keep winning, baby.

    So let me get this straight. Schedule makers send the Habs out on a West coast trip after 2 weeks of the season, with one day of rest. Then they make them play 3 games in 4 nights on said west coast trip. Do I have that right?

  103. The Calgary Flames will be without the services of forward Matt Stajan for approximately six weeks, the club announced Wednesday.

    Stajan has been placed on injured reserve after a knee-on-knee collision with Jarred Tinordi of the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.

    Center Markus Granlund was recalled from AHL Abbotsford to compensate for the loss of Stajan.

    Tinordi will not be disciplined by the league as a result of this incident.

  104. So some MPs are saying they PTSD after the shooting in Ottawa. No to sound cruel, but may NOW they will understand, many even remotely, what our military and vets suffer and show them a little more humanity & respect via Veteren Affairs.i/o stone-walling and beauracracy which they now display.

    2. The only way to get a politician to care about your troubles is for him to have your troubles. But seriously, PTSD? Does everyone get to have that now? I understand those coming home from a warzone, but come on. I don't want to sound mean and I know everyone reacts differently, but when I was about 9 I was in a store with my mom and three armed robbers came in shooting the place up (after years of peaceful existence in big city Montreal, this happened in our first year in suburban Ontario). We actually saw one of the guys get shot. It really didn't have an impact on either of us. Of course it upset us for a week or two, but longterm I kind of just forgot about it. I only remember it when other shootings are brought up. But these days I suppose it'd be all PTSD and wah wah wah I'm a victim too crap.

      Besides, I'm no psychologist, but isn't it way too early to tell anyway. It's not even a week. Wouldn't it be normal to still be upset by the events? I doubt this will make any of them more sympathetic to our military who actually have to deal with real psychological horrors anyway. If you're the type of person already screaming victim less than 4 days after a real victim is buried, you're probably not the type of person to understand the real victimization of others.

      And that's my rant on the subject.

  106. Rick's rant WAS great...but if you to go nhl.com the header which shows each game tells you which channel the game is on. Speaking of that I just clicked on the nhl.com preview for the Habs-Canucks game and it says "Montreal has given up the first goal in eight of its 10 games, and is 0-for-21 on the power play on the road, according to the Montreal Gazette." Shouldn't the NHL have these statistics themselves, rather than relying on a newspaper article? I found it an odd thing to state from the website of the league that theoretically tracks all statistics related to said league.

    GO HABS. FUCK OFF REFS.

  108. I am also doing a kick starter to correlate the hardness of ones shot with risk. Not to pre judge the results, but the Mexicant should go to emerg immediately.
