Chucky gets Paches and KidA at long last...that might be interesting. I doubt it lasts long but let's see...and where that leaves McM...10 more minutes if he is lucky...?
We go through our days just living. Part of those days include sometimes losing a great friend. My very good friend lost his dear wife recently. She was a great person. She was a photographer. Cancer took her. Fuck cancer.
R.I.P. dear Sarah.
Should you visit her website, you will see a full moon shot over Tuscany (where she and her husband retired to a decade ago). It was the last picture she took.
I send you my condolences Moe. I had to attend a funeral this past Thursday - one of my best friends lost his mother to cancer - ravaged her so quickly - she was only 72! I Fuck Cancer! God bless!
1. The best season since season 1. 2. Robin, Neve, Molly prove that not only men mature well, I'd suggest they 'age' beautifully. 3. A bit of farfetchedness but political/societal issues are nailed, some of them hard. 4. I have discovered Dominique McElligott. St. Pad should be proud. 5. Now I have to wait a year! (OITNB should help)
Just caught the end of the Sea Dogs 7-4 win over Bathurst. Fifth win a row for the boys who are about to win the Maritimes division in the Q. At least there will be playoff hockey here.
Since Nov. 28, 2015 Montreal is 12-25-4... Even without Price are they really THAT bad? How the fuck does eMTy still have a job? Is Bergevin that stupid? Is Molson that cheap? No wonder fans are pissed off. Disgraceful.
Decided to watch a couple eps of HofC's instead. Gearing up to be quite the slugfest. And I like me some Neve Campbell! Jeebus PK, learn to stay on your effin' skates! Maybe the equipment manager needs to be fired. It's all his fault. PK can't keep his edges. MT should look into making him a better person. Anyway, same old same old.
Listened to the resident senile old xenophobe's rant from earlier. Not only has PK been left off the roster because he 'doesn't fit into Babcocks plans', but other notable players not named to the roster include the likes of Joe Pavelski from the Sharks (who in fact is American and has been named to team USA). Do we really need to have senile octogenarians calling play by play and spouting nonsense between periods? Hell of a case for mandatory retierement.
Meh. Looks like the Habs could sink below CLB, at least. Nice to see Chucky sticking it to MT. Condon obviously got the tank memo.
Funny to hear HNIC say, "Anytime Montreal, BUT IN PARTICULAR TORONTO, plays out west there are tons of their fans". Yeah, I guess that's why they chose MTL to open up in Winnipeg a few years ago and the Habs have had the the most outdoor games (including the very first one), while Toronto only got one because SN pressured the league.
Anyway, this season can't end soon enough. There's nothing really to talk about. Can't wait to deal with the collective Habs land nervous breakdown when the realization comes that MT isn't going to be fired and no major moves will be done. Hope the weather is nice this summer in Canada! (I will be visiting for 2+ months, so I really mean that this time).
I suppose that if nothing more than Chucky playing centre comes out of the rest of this season...it's something to take into the summer...oh yeah - and MT and DGMB getting sacked by Mr. Molson when this nightmare has ended once and for all..
The sun came up this morning and I woke up on the right side of the sod. As moe mentioned last night Spring is just around the corner. Going out for breakfast with my lovely wife. These are the important things.
Bergevin and Therrien can go pound sand. The players don't care anymore and who can blame them?
I am actually happy with this season. Its like you are just about to get married and then by good fortune the light strikes your fiance and she is revealed to be a Sienfielian two face. TFS can not be the system to win the cup. eMTy is a fucking madman, his brain more jumbled than his lines.
I am sure we will get Druid in the off season and a number 9 pick will be part of the package. This kid, oh fuck eMTy will still be coach and everybody just get on the wrong side of the sod now.
If they pick in the top 10, I hear the local kid Julien Gauthier is pretty good, 6'4", 225 lbs. Heard his father is a body builder and had him in the gym when he was young and he has muscle, DGMB may pick him for the name too.
Being the careful thoughtful thinker that I am my conculsion should be taken as 80% propable. We will need a new name for Stinky Stamkos when he signs with us. Really he has no other place to go. Toronto is in a rebuild, why waste your life there. No other Hockey Market except New York would make him a GOD. He will sign 3 years at 5 to 6. Then he still has another big contract to cash with Rodgers.
99.9% chance Stamkos doesn't sign in Montreal. Why would he want to play for another dysfunctional organization? Also, he doesn't fit Dumpster Diving Bergy's profile of 5th line Empty special. More likely he signs in Toronto and PFK demands a trade to join him.
What did you think of TWD tonight? Enough mayhem for you?
So if you go with what appears to be the way a lot of people are thinking, and this is borne from a couple of interviews I've listened to and the most recent H I/O podcast, we are to excuse DGMB for his trespasses as he still needs time and because no one could have anticipated the catastrophic collapse the Habs embarked upon once TFS went down for the season. This too, (and this is the part I am having real issues with) apparently also excuses MT for at least 20 games of next season so that they can see if things really are as bad as they have looked. I certainly hope that this line of thinking is not what happens, as I really don't want to endure another season like this. It's only the 7th of March and I have already really tuned out for the season. So 6 months without any real hockey is going to be terrible (and I am including the "World Cup of Hockey" in this drought)...truth be told, it's all pretty depressing...
The "real" World Championships are in late April/early May, PFK will probably be on that team and maybe gCHuk on Team USA. The Memorial Cup is a decent tournament as well.
Patches probably be on the USA team too. Maybe kidA on team Canada? If he's not injured? What's the word?
Potential TWD spoiler (stop here if you care). Regarding the group's outing last night, I find it really uncharacteristic that they would just go in guns a blazing based on the word of the Hilltop people, without doing any of their own re-con. Otherwise, I enjoyed the eye-stabbing, shoot 'em up action. Do we meet Neagan (sp?) next week?
I don't think Negan shows up until the Finale when he will bash somebody's brains out with his barbwire wrapped baseball bat. Glenn looking at the photo collection on the wall may be a premonition if you have followed the comics at all. I read an online article a few minutes ago speculating who will be "moving on" from the show. I already know who one of them is for sure and it's a toss-up between the other two. Chris Hardwick will be inconsolable on the final Talking Dead I'm sure.
Max may be a possibility for Team USA but I suspect he will be rehabbing his bum leg instead. I also thought of kidG for Team Canada, not sure if he is a good enough skater for the Olympic ice. We'll see.
Columbus, Vancouver and Arizona are all only 4 points back with games in hand. The Habs still have a shot at the 5 hole in the draft.
You know what? I don't care anymore. A poorly managed team with 2 or 3 really skilled players that the coaches have no fucking clue what to do with. And all we have to look forward to is them picking somebody who may or may not make the team 3 or 4 years from now. I think Bettman's salary cap parity league has ruined hockey for me. After watching the dynasty teams of so long ago I cannot lower my expectations and watch the utter crap which is on the ice today. I just can't. The Montreal Canadiens as I knew them in my youth are long dead. And they ain't comin' back.
I would bet my life savings (yes, every bit of that $3.83) that Stamkos will not only not sign in MTL, but I think he stays in TB. But should I lose that bet and he for some reason only he could explain, then I would suggest his nick be ftl (fuck the leaf). hockey. meh. Time to start paying attention to the top 10 prospects I guess.
If Stamkos is a rational human he will flee Tampa. The guy is already worth 50 or 60 millinon, but experience and time has no elasticity in the material world.
for the love of draft picks play the Scrivens tonite, and let eMTy pick and choose his players and how to make them better people.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the lottery simulator, the Habs would currently pick 9th.
DeleteLooks like Sheik gets the start.
DeleteGo Burton! Go Randy! Go You Guess Who Go!!
ReplyDeletegchyuk will centre PatCHes & KidA
ReplyDeleteFucking dimwit eMTy has his fucking blender going full force again. Throw this fool in the trash bin at the end of the season, please.
DeleteNo, no, that's where DGMB picks from, he'd end up back where he was cast from.
DeleteJust fucking win please...
ReplyDeleteOld time hockey between the Ducks and LA, end of 1st and a total of 68 penalty mins.
ReplyDeleteChucky gets Paches and KidA at long last...that might be interesting. I doubt it lasts long but let's see...and where that leaves McM...10 more minutes if he is lucky...?
ReplyDeleteI"m going to dvr the game and maybe watch it later...just to see if gCHuk lasts a full game.
ReplyDeleteno he wont if he does not play like DDD, cross the blue line and fall down or your benched.
DeleteOkay boys! Let's do this....
ReplyDeleteWe go through our days just living. Part of those days include sometimes losing a great friend. My very good friend lost his dear wife recently. She was a great person. She was a photographer. Cancer took her. Fuck cancer.

Oh moe, so sorry to hear that. My sincere condolences.
DeleteMerci Moey. I'll post one of Sarah's photos next week. She was 61. Her cancer did not last long and she kept on doing what she loved.
DeleteI send you my condolences Moe. I had to attend a funeral this past Thursday - one of my best friends lost his mother to cancer - ravaged her so quickly - she was only 72! I Fuck Cancer! God bless!
DeleteThanks K3X, I saw your comment earlier but forgot to offer my thoughts. Peace.
DeleteCondolences, one of my good friends is about to lose his wife to cancer as well. I feel really bad for him.
DeleteAll the best of thoughts to you and your friends the M.
Deletesorry for your loss, hopefuly in less than a decade Cancer joins Smallpox on the list of things crossed off that kill you.
DeleteDeepest condolences, moeman, good friends are with you forever.
DeleteFuck cancer.
Yeah I binge'd HofC.
ReplyDelete1. The best season since season 1.
2. Robin, Neve, Molly prove that not only men mature well, I'd suggest they 'age' beautifully.
3. A bit of farfetchedness but political/societal issues are nailed, some of them hard.
4. I have discovered Dominique McElligott. St. Pad should be proud.
5. Now I have to wait a year! (OITNB should help)
Pathetic 1st period.
ReplyDeleteKidA out for the game.
ReplyDeleteThat looked painful. OuCH!
DeletePK making a case for himself to be on Team Canada. Oh dear.
ReplyDeleteOh PFK, we love your play but you have to be more careful.
ReplyDeletegCHuk making a case for himself to be on Team N.A.
DeleteMuch more exciting period.
ReplyDeleteHow the fuck is that a penalty on PatCHes?
ReplyDeleteJackson, same ref MT told to fuck off.
DeleteI decided to check them out and Easter is still far away. How do the look? Should I put the leaf on instead?
ReplyDeleteMeh. Moments here and there but two teams just slogging it out. Never switch to the leaf, ever.
DeleteJust caught the end of the Sea Dogs 7-4 win over Bathurst. Fifth win a row for the boys who are about to win the Maritimes division in the Q. At least there will be playoff hockey here.
DeleteMoe, a recommendation for Netflix is Crossing Lines. Three seasons so far.
ReplyDeleteYup, on the wish list. : )
DeleteThe Movie Upstream Color is on Netflix Canada and it is the greatest love story ever told. I lived that.
DeleteSince Nov. 28, 2015 Montreal is 12-25-4... Even without Price are they really THAT bad? How the fuck does eMTy still have a job? Is Bergevin that stupid? Is Molson that cheap? No wonder fans are pissed off. Disgraceful.
ReplyDeletetank was in from the start
DeleteI agree that TFS hid a lot of flaws, but I also said that there is no way this team is that bad.
DeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!
ReplyDeleteBandwidth Battle in the house, I lost will have to wait until Spooks is fully buffered.
ReplyDeleteJust catCHing up with the game, my non-hockey popped in bearing gifts of CHinese food.
ReplyDelete*non-hockey friend*
DeleteCash it!
ReplyDeleteOur breakout has never look better if the goal is a lottery pick.
ReplyDeleteNot watching but guessing they are playing out the string, well the vets anyway.
ReplyDeletegCHyuk!
ReplyDeleteI think that was only the 2nd shot on goal in the 3rd.
ReplyDeletePlaid Beauty
ReplyDeletegCHuck
ReplyDeletesame game DDD would have a hat trick by now
ReplyDeleteShit.
ReplyDeletepond hockey
ReplyDeleteTough night for PFK.
ReplyDeleteKill it.
..and no call for knocking PatCHes' stick out of his hand.
ReplyDeletecome on eMTY you can lose this game, how about you make everyone play wrong handed
ReplyDeletePull the goalie
DeleteVodkov should have been called for tripping.
ReplyDeleteEN goal for Jets and that's it.
ReplyDeleteen should not be a true hattie
ReplyDeleteAt least we have the hockey tournament in September to look forward to. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteIf ottawa can beat teh leaf, we got a pretty solid lock on number nine, way to go eMTY
ReplyDeleteThey need to be lower (higher?) than that. Gotta be top 5 at least. Hoping Buffalo and Columbus can catch them.
Delete9 losses in last 10 and 4 losses on this road trip, yet for some reason MT is still there.
ReplyDeleteI hope KidA is ok.
ReplyDeleteThere is five feet of snow banked in my front yard but I know the Spring crocuses are in there waiting to bloom.
ReplyDeleteDecided to watch a couple eps of HofC's instead. Gearing up to be quite the slugfest. And I like me some Neve Campbell! Jeebus PK, learn to stay on your effin' skates! Maybe the equipment manager needs to be fired. It's all his fault. PK can't keep his edges. MT should look into making him a better person. Anyway, same old same old.

we are going to have to tank hard to stay in the top 10. Even one win potentially puts us up to 12.

ReplyDeleteFuck emty.
Its so hard to pick but for House of Cards crush I have to go Brit
