Man, they couldn't pick this game for his suspension. and I don't think that had anything to with a Tequila shots but more about revealing what we all knew all along - the NHL wants calls made a certain way. AHA!
Lego has taken a beating from certain parties in this blog...me being one of them I admit...but I think it is because we all see how much potential he has that has not materialised into making him a superstar. He has been badly coached, played poorly and had some bad luck along the way. So I hope he is back in the lineup soon and can deliver the effort we all expect of him. The rest will follow. I just checked my per-season prediction sheet and I had the Habs going 7-3-1 in January. So an 8-2-1 record puts them only 2 points behind my 117 total pace for the year...but now they need back to back 10 win months in Feb and March...fingers crossed! Moeman - the wtf cat is an absolute 4HF Classic and deserves a spot somewhere permanent. I am somewhat nervous about tonight but I do think they will bounce back strong tonight
I like Lego as a Hab and I think most of his games have been relegated to 3rd and 4th line duty. He's not going to excel there and when given top 2 line work, he has been good. He is a big, young, smart and relatively inexpensive centre. He plays well with the G kids, which is where I'd leave him His playoff games were fantastic so I think he needs to be challenged to be very good. The only two things I'll add is he is inconsistent (see line duty) and doesn't use his big body enough, eg. to crush rats like marchand and kadri.
I agree with what you are saying about Lego. Sometimes I think he is his own worst enemy in that he doesn't have faith in his own abilities. I'm like you in that, if given the opportunity to play as a 1 or 2 center, for a sustained period he would get the job done. Unfortunately for him he has had SuperPleXXXe and wee Davey in front of him and Therrien has 1) unshakeable faith in those two and 2) no patience to try it. If Lego were in Phoenix or some other backwater hockey city with little talent he would be given that opportunity. Unfortunately for him in Montreal he has seniority and politics against him.
OK, so I get home early cuz I worked till 8 last night. I have a large shared driveway, ⅔ mine. I’ve lived at this address for 27 years. My neighbour, great guy, is car-sitting for some Caribbean bound friends. He has taken 5 of the available 12 car spots. I normally back into the driveway. I take up one of the 12 spots. He decided to put one of his cars in the very middle. Small dent on the side of my car as I backed into my regular, 27th year in a row spot.
Considering what the brains at NHL HQ have decided re:timfuckingpeel
1- They've never suspended a ref for shitty on-ice shit 2- Nice sucking up to a moron like pfuck peel 3- With his leaf tanking, pfuck needs to pat himself on the back, PfOS 4- pfuck is all about pfuck, a clueless hockey pfan that has tied his ball-less career to leaf nation 5- refs should have post-game media scrums to explain their mistakes 6- refs should have post-game media scrums to explain their collapsing to the 'war room' 7- pfuck sucks, the leaf sucks even more than pfuck sucks 8- thanks for nothing john baird, you harper hack
Losers of 14 straight games heading into Tuesday's matchup with the Montreal Canadiens, head coach Ted Nolan is employing an interesting motivational technique: play well and you might get out of here.
John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl Ted Nolan is encouraging the Sabres who are trade candidates to "make it happen" with fine play. "Maybe somebody will see you and want you." 3:45 PM - 3 Feb 2015
Yup...if it weren't for how bad they played Sunday I would be more worried...because after that shitshow they will be looking to show people it was a one off...still I a, worried...
Ugh, what did I say? They're totally going to lose. The timbits have better defence. Seriously, 4 guys there watching some guy taking shot after shot on TFS in front. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I ran out to run a couple of errands to return to both TV's being claimed. Checked the score and said to myself "maybe it's best I don't watch." However, before leaving for my errands, I started watching North by Northwest (one of those movies I've always wanted to see). dvr'ing the rest of it - looking forward to seeing how that unfolds. I love (some) old movies. I found it weird though - the actress playing Cary Grant's mother doesn't look much older than he...so I looked it up and sure enough she was only 8 years his senior. I think we were supposed to think Grant was in his 30's. He was 54.
Soooo, looking at the stats - Lego is -3 with under 4 minutes of ice time. Might as well trade him in-game like we did with Squid because the doghouse ain't gonna be eMTy for long. cakeS -2 with 2:40 ice time, along with $ohs. move over Lego.
Fun fact: In the last 22 games, the Habs have give up 3+ goals three times. To the Sens, Yotes and Islanders. Yup. Out of those games, they gave up 3 goals twice and 4 once (to the Islanders, and they won that game).
Tonight, they gave up 3 goals in one period. To the Sabers.
Must be. I don't think they are ready to move "$' and can't see a lot of interest in Dumont or Stumpy II. Be nice if Lego would get his head out of his ass.
Well, I was about to make a sarcastic comment about DDD being back on the first line (with Weiss, for christ sake). But I've decided to reserve judgement.
So how much do you think they'll lose by to NJ on Saturday? I'm going to go out on a limb and say they'll get a point, but lose 2-1 in a SO. That's right, I still believe in my Habs!
These last two games are the Habs when Carey doesn't save their ass. Could easily be a 4 game losing streak if not for his other worldly play. Great goalies make mediocre coaches look like geniuses.
I hope we sit pretty pat. I do not think a rental is going to be a differance maker. I do not want to give up another prospect and another 2nd rounder. I would like to trade one of our top smurfs for a second rounder. DDD, Ghetto, and five other guys the same we have. I do not trade Hudon,$, or Renway.
The WTF Cat has never been more appropo...Here's something I haven't written in a long time about the Habs post game...They outshot and outhit the opposition...Be very careful what you wish for!
But at least the leaf lost so it wasn't a complete write off of a night.

I am a huge fan. Her work was remastered for a movie. Should we call him Edith?
ReplyDeleteWhen a 19 year old is called up to play for the Montreal Canadiens, its still a big deal to me.
Great summary of our sweet Swede. Has anyone every noticed there a a lot of good looking people who come from Sweden?
DeleteAnother idea for a nickname. "Candy" Based upon one of the funnist memories I have of Sweden.

ReplyDeleteHow are they getting outnumbered behind the net WHEN THEY'RE ON THE PP!
ReplyDeleteJust hit the net ONCE. Just once.

2-0 Preds
ReplyDeleteI predict a DGMB move in the next 7 days.
ReplyDeleteThey're trying to be way too fancy. Just shoot the damn puck on net. It ain't rocket science.
ReplyDeleteAll individual efforts, No team play.
Delete"In-game sound system played “Hey Hey we’re the Monkees” during Leaf starting lineup introductions".
ReplyDeleteWhy insult The Monkees?
I'm a monkey, according to the Chinese. And the Koreans, but that's more racism than tradition.

The defence can't defend, hold the line in the o-zone or make passes. They're like a black hole awfulness tonight.
ReplyDeleteDid I step into 2012 this morning? Because this team is fucking terrible.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for a slump. Losing to bottom feeders like Phoenix and Buffalo would qualify. And why are they playing all these AHLers? Trade bait?
ReplyDeleteLooks like DGMB is showcasing some good prospects. Package deal coming up?
DeleteMust be. I don't think they are ready to move "$' and can't see a lot of interest in Dumont or Stumpy II. Be nice if Lego would get his head out of his ass.
DeleteOther teams may like those three prospects.
DeleteGoal!
A Hab goal being reviewed . Whodathunkit?
ReplyDeleteWell, I was about to make a sarcastic comment about DDD being back on the first line (with Weiss, for christ sake). But I've decided to reserve judgement.
ReplyDeleteOh great, Toronto gets a chance to take it away.
They run our goalie, they get the PP.
ReplyDelete#NHLlogic
OK, never mind. Mike York lied to me.
DeleteThe crap PP has returned.
ReplyDeleteFinally, 80 seconds into the PP someone takes a shot. And his stick breaks.
ReplyDeleteHIT
ReplyDeleteTHE
FUCKING
NET
If only they could HIT THE FUCKING NET once in a while they might score a goal or two.
ReplyDeleteCan't win 1-0 all the time.
I love Lego. But how can you miss the net by 10 feet point blank all alone?
ReplyDeleteIf they had played like this the first 40 minutes this game would be safely put away by now.
ReplyDeleteAndy Moog move there.
ReplyDeleteJanes Addiction in the background!
ReplyDeleteOh, so you're allowed to knock the net off when the puck is about to go in. Ok, that's cool.
ReplyDeleteMontreal Canadiens: Making nobody AHLer goalies look like Vezina candidates since 1993.
ReplyDeleteAwesome moves, really, great. NOW SHOOT THE FUCKING PUCK.
ReplyDeleteKlumsy Habs.
ReplyDeleteBlech.

ReplyDeleteAnd toronto up 3-2. Fuck my life.
