Well, might as well get a few hours of sleep in. By the time my morning alarm goes off we should be on the penalty door keeper from Moose Jaw's speech by then.

Ok, one last post. The only thing more boring than a hockey player interview is a former hockey player interview about hockey. Dudes, Stevies not going to give you anything but standard vanilla answers. Everyone's great, everyone's special. Let's move on now.
Never liked Bergeron. Besides being a fucking stoopid broon, the first time he played against the Habs a reporter asked him if he was a Habs fan growing up. PB replied, "No, I was a Dicks fan, I hated Montreal." Well, fuck you Patricia. They got him on SNet right now, I hit the mute button, he's got nothing I want to hear.
The Montreal Canadiens will have players representing Canada at the Olympics for the first time since Mark Recchi and Shayne Corson donned the Maple Leaf at the 1998 Games in Nagano. Reigning Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban and three-time All-Star Carey Price both received calls from Team Canada’s brass on Tuesday morning informing them that they had been named to the 25-man roster heading to Sochi. Both have previously skated for Canada internationally;
Subban won back-to-back gold medals at the World Juniors in 2008 and 2009 and participated in Canada’s final game at the 2013 World Championships last spring. Price is also the proud owner of a World Junior gold medal, having led Team Canada to the top of the podium in Sweden in 2007.
Subban is third among all NHL defensemen in 2013-14 with 33 points in 44 games so far this year, also boasting a stellar plus-14 differential. The four-year NHL veteran is second in the league behind only Duncan Keith for power play points by a blue-liner, boasting three goals and 12 assists with the man advantage.
Currently second behind only Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury with 20 wins so far in 2013-14, Price has a .928 save percentage in 35 starts this season to go with two shutouts. His 988 saves to date are also second in the league to Mike Smith’s 1,002.
Longtime Habs equipment manager Pierre Gervais and Canadiens director of media relations Dominick Saillant will also join the Canadian contingent at the Olympics in February.
JohnLuTSNMtl: #Habs Markov's classic one-liner form about his Team Russia selection: "I found out on the internet...It's not the same as you (Canadians)."
PK - was there any ever doubt? Not in this room. Sucks about gCHuk. Time to call up LeBrow? Those guys that missed the cut, I know exactly how you feel. Same as losing 50 bucks.
I'm sure the guys that get 2 weeks off to go tan on the beach someplace south for at least half of it will get over it.
The Toronto native has a solid international resume, having captured back-to-back gold medals at the 2008 and 2009 World Junior Championship, including a berth in the tournament All-Star Team in his second stint with three goals and nine points. He's also no stranger to playing on the larger ice surface that will be utilized in Sochi.
"I played on an Olympic-sized rink in junior for four years with Belleville," he explained. "It changes the game a little bit in terms of how much space and time you have out there."
yep, he spent his junior years on the big ice, I've been telling the haters on TSN for months - they all said he would be lost on international ice, but the jackasses kept repeating the same trash over and over.
That said, Subban had a message for his critics: carry on, you’re helping.
“They’re the people who make me better, I hope they keep critiquing and finding things to talk about,” he said.
Subban’s first phone call was to his parents – who emigrated to Canada from the Caribbean – although the avalanche of congratulatory texts and voicemails has been overwhelming.
“I haven’t really had a chance to answer my phone . . . maybe I’ll just turn it off for now and savour the moment,” he said.
The generally stoic Price - whose trademark is laconic calm - said that even if it's not outwardly obvious, he's thrilled to bits to be going to Sochi.
"I don't even know how to express it, how excited I am. I may not show it physically, but it's overwhelming, I'm just really honoured," he said.
Price said his aim is to be Canada's starter, a goal he said is shared by Luongo and Smith.
Got home from seeing 'The Wolf of Wall Street', turned on the TV which was still dialled into tsn from the AM. Couldn't stop laughing at the tsners praising Tim Gleason's game and showing 4 separate plays of him handling the puck in his own zone with slobbering kudos on each one.
Love the movie BTW. I'd give it a solid 8.5. DiCaprio is awesome. Also, Margot Robbie is simply scrumptious. The entrance she makes into the first bedroom scene left a big portion of the theatre audience literally gasping.
Moeman you are to be stranded on a desert Island, but you can choose one of two companions based solely on physical attraction, no personality attributes considered. Jennifer Lawrence form American Hustle Margot Robbie from Wolf
I have not seen Wolf but Ms Robbie is an easy choice for me
My better half is half pure Irish, and I can see the Irish in Ms Robbie. She is one of those women who will be better looking at forty than twenty as impossible as it seems
I was in OZ for a few weeks in the nineties, general consensus at that time was a women would be consider a man a real catCHif he did not puke on her some time during the first date.
5-3 NYI NYI played last night, didn't get to their hotel in toronta till 3am. leaf had 5 pp to 1 for the Islanders. If Carolina wasn't postponed for weather and they won, the would have take the leaf wildcard spot.
Toews was the '13th' forward in 2010. He ended up on the top line and best scorer for Canada. Mediots can flap their fucking gums all they want, PFK is a Top 4 Dman.
TSN whining that the Isle guy should have had a penalty on a trip that led to a goal. If you look closely at the replay (or not closely at all, like me the first time) you see the Isle's stick is above his head with the leaf goes down. How could he have been tripping him with it? They start to whine about the trapazoid. Christ guys, give it up. Your leaf are bad. Very bad. Three pathetic goals against Bernier tonight. Yeah, he should have gone to Sochi....morons.
Good thing the leaf is in it's "soft" part of the schedule, according to heely and the rest of the cockroaches. That so-called "Winter Classic" might be the last win for "Canada's team" for a while. Go Captain Kirk!
TSN sucks, leaf suck, plain and simple. Even if the 'trip' was called, that doesn't erase Bernier giving the puck away for a goal, prince$$ scoring on his own net, having 5-1 PP, not being able to score with Bernier pulled. Will TSN ever tell the truth about the leaf? We all know the answer to that.
Pearl Harbour, Roswell, the Gulf of Tolkien, JFK assassination, Dessert Storm, 911 and the truth about the leaf. Some have and all will be revealed in time. Especially the leaf, hiding in plain sight is they have not had a competitive team in almost a half century. Thus proving its hard to tell the truth when your livelihood depends upon supporting lies.
Hey Mediots, try being truly proud and patriotic for a change.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Budy Call. Slovaks could be sneaky good
ReplyDelete+1. Habs may end up with (up to) 9 Olympians. FHFun.

ReplyDeleteThe Montreal Canadiens will have players representing Canada at the Olympics for the first time since Mark Recchi and Shayne Corson donned the Maple Leaf at the 1998 Games in Nagano.

ReplyDeleteTSN sucks, leaf suck, plain and simple. Even if the 'trip' was called, that doesn't erase Bernier giving the puck away for a goal, prince$$ scoring on his own net, having 5-1 PP, not being able to score with Bernier pulled. Will TSN ever tell the truth about the leaf? We all know the answer to that.
ReplyDeletePearl Harbour, Roswell, the Gulf of Tolkien, JFK assassination, Dessert Storm, 911 and the truth about the leaf. Some have and all will be revealed in time. Especially the leaf, hiding in plain sight is they have not had a competitive team in almost a half century. Thus proving its hard to tell the truth when your livelihood depends upon supporting lies.
DeleteTampa won and passed us again, broons lost their game. Looking for a Habs win tonight.
ReplyDeleteTough to win in Philthy.
Deletemaybe we can trade for the non Olympian Giroux at a discount.
DeleteSo they just can't LEAVE PFK ALONE can those TSN hacks. Now they have a story going about his contract.
ReplyDeleteFuck off.
