  1. The team that cant be scored on vs the team that cant score. Its David vs Goliath and David plays for the Rags now.

  2. Cripes, by the news reports you'd think we were about to enter Armageddon. So far we have wind and rain, in other words a typical Halifax winter day. We'll see what the rest of the day brings. Any luck it blows BBB out to sea and he can be forever Icebergy. Fitting considering his titanic failure over the past 18(ish) months.

  4. I know absolutely nothing about corsi and analytics that the talking heads like to spew nonsense about, but apparently Plaid is leading the league in fewest shot attempts (Corsi) against per 60 minutes. Meanwhile, WrongBenn has a big beard, but he's still third to Big Joe and Burns.

    I can't recall. Did Plaid do something that wasn't "The Canadiens Way"? kind of like Zack whathisname? Or was this just MB being MB?

      I think it was Arrogant Fuckface who got Plaid traded, every time he made a mistake he was benched for a month. What would AF do to Alzzzzzner for all his fuck ups? PFK got his ass traded 'cause a) AF didn't like him b) Max didn't like him c) Turtleplexx aka the little girl didn't like him and d) he tried too hard.

    2. Nah, it was the Mrs. on twitter.

      Actually I think I remember him saying when he was back in the lineup one time something along the lines that he was afraid to make a mistake.

      But he did get traded after the tweet.

    3. How many times have the CH Brain(cramp)trust given up on a gem found by Timmins, only to see that player shine elsewhere?

  5. So, PFK sits 2nd among Dmen with 9 goals and Sergachev sits tied at 3rd with 8 goals.

    Good job, BBB, keep up the good work.

    Canada are playing the Czechs in the WJC semi-finals if you are looking for alternate entertainment. These kids actually know how to score goals. Well, until it gets beaten out of them when they reach the nhl.

  8. No goals but a very good period vs. the watered-down league's best team.

  9. Just fucking score!

  10. Stepped out and now 1-1, Patches and Kucherov.

    1. Except for that paß tp Patches that is, for Sergachev.

    2. If he was still here, he'd probably be banished forever, rookie mistakes are taboo even for rookies.

  14. TFS™! on the NHL's top scorer's breakaway!

  15. Great game all around and TFS™ was outstanding!

  16. Indeed. Heck of a save in OT. Poulin really overselling it as one of the greatest saves of all time, but a great save ninetheless.

  19. Scumbag kadri pulled out a fistful of Thornton's beard and tossed it on the ice. What a low-class, lower-than-snake-spit human being.

  21. So long Inigo - thanks for your time as a Hab...not sure why you were traded but I know trades are hard and this makes as much sense as anything else bbb has done recently...

    1. Kicked to the curb while he was down. Maybe BBB needs more Cap room.

      Thank you for the games. I will always remember how classy he was when AF hung him out to dry for 10 goals. At least he got to see AF go before he did.

      Delete
  22. Yep Inigo will continue his search for the six fingered man in Edmonton.

    I expect BBB to turn that conditional 4th rounder into something magical.

    1. we have more 4th and fifth rounders on the team than first rounders

      Delete
    2. Inigo traded for a conditional 5th which becomes a 4th if Inigo plays in 7 more regular season games per Cap Friendly.

      Delete
  23. 6th game in a row where they've scored 1 goal or less.
    But Patches' trade value skyrocketed. He now has 1 goal in his last 1 game!

    1. Its a shame we do not have a supporting cast for Patches, so he has to go, everything must go, take the ice out and play with roller blades for the rest of the season.

  24. we cant win and we cant tank, we are a tankless water heater with no electrity. Ahhhh another year in purgatory. I want to change LZ nick to Ed Ansner, cause he moves like Ed does.

    2. AlZZZner was mine, but it is kind of mean, like Breeze-by was mean. I like Asner, LouGrant, Lou, and even the character he voiced in Up, (Mr. Fredricksen)

    3. Alzheimer would be beneath us. However whoever signed him for five years should be CHecked for early stage dementia. Its a warning sign.

  25. PatCHes really, really hates goal celebrations doesn't he? I know he once told gCHyuk to act like he's scored before, but not even a smile after one of if not your worst droughts? I remember when he once 'sheathed the sword' or was it putting the pistol back in the holster? after a goal.

    I'm glad he scored, maybe more to come going forward.

  26. IMHO this deserves promulgation. Maybe put it in a post?

    Big Al traded? Guess the purge has begun early.

    Ha! Just saw the two saves Price made last night on Sportsdesk ... obviously channeling his inner Hasek. Outstanding!

    1. With TFS, CHill and ime iN! all healthy, the numbers spoke. It makes sense.

  28. Goalies R US. We should bring up Fuckme and play him until someone gives us a third. On the farm we have pads stacked better than any other team. Primou, Nevin and Lingrin. sorry nick escapes me and I cant find the key.

    I am happy and sad to see TFS restore the system. You can not win in the NHL unless you can consistanly score 3 goals. Sorry TFS, superhuman antics are not predictable.

    1. EMty was full of wisdom. PatCHes worst cap in history, true, I mean its not an insult. Someone has to be the best and PatCHes is the worst. You gotta score 3 goals to win. YOU HAVE TO SCORE THREE GOALS TO WINE. Put that in your vison thing Habs management.

  29. You feeling a little tired, cant react that fast. Some people go to the gym. I got a new mouse and now I am faster than I ever could have imagined. My advice if your mouse is more than five years old get a new one.

    1. You're right Steve. I got a new mouse once and it made me run faster than Usain Bolt.

  30. Kudos to Claude, he won that game. Unfortunately you cant keep shooting Unicorns as a winning strategy.
