Howdy 4HF'ers! As has become tradition, your humble ex-leader is in da house for a Bs preview and open thread! Problem is, it's Sunday night. Who watches hockey on Sunday night??? Not to mention, I am distracted.
Look at what's on TV on tonight! The mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead. The second season premiere of This Week Tonight with John Oliver. And most importantly, the series premiere of the spin-off of the second greatest TV drama of all-time. W00t! Now that's entertainment. Hopefully more entertainment than the the Habs against the Sabres. If you think this lawyer isn't frothing at the mouth to view this potential great TV show about a lawyer, well, you've never done meth with me. Mmm, blue meth.
I've got an idea - Saul for Habs assistant-GM! He's got the lack of scruples we need to make some shady deals to help us down the stretCH (sip!).
So dinner thread some delicious Los Pollos Hermanos and enjoy
~~~
29, that was good, man!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, 29.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to know that when you have back to back games, the guy standing in for the main man is going to bring his A game...let's hope Toker is in as good form as 29.
ReplyDeleteGo Habs go...go Habs go...go habs go...go Habs go!
Btw - I am thinking about finishing that port I started last night...don't fuck with a streak I always say! Wd are having a fajita dinner fiesta before the game so it should down reasonably well after a few beers!
The Walking Dead is back!! Fuck and Yes!!!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be checking out Saul. Shady lawyers are the best.
A six-pack of goals! That was nice. Great gameday thread 29. I'm not convinced that Saul is a strong enough character to carry a show, but the writing might save it. I've got the dvr set. The game however might have to take a backseat once the dead start walking again.
ReplyDeleteWe gonna see Subban vs Subban tonight? Will the racists boo their own guy too?
Turkey dinner with all the fixins tonight!
Breaded CHicken cutlets, twice baked potatoes, haven't decided on the veggie yet and a very nice Aussie, Morgan Hill sauvignon blanc.
ReplyDeleteIts been a great Sunday so far. First a big win and goals scored. Attaboy, Lego, Chip, DDD and PFK, and the whole team Yay. Second Question Period cuts Fat Steve a new one, wow, blow me away. Third NBC will be broadcasting OTR the Habs vs Broons classic (Did you know we drafted something called Ben Maxwell one spot before Pretzel) I know why Chip scored twice last night because this should be his last game against the Broons, you only live twice and this is the last chance of the year for Pretzel to kill him.
ReplyDeleteFourth 29 Blesses us with an appearance featurng what I believe was the star of Zombie Apoclpse Redemption Alicia Clark.
I have read Better Call Saul is fantastic. Also right up 29's ballywick is Ascension staring Trish Helfer dressed just like BG or less.
Quote of the day " In football coaches do not even consider what a player cant do, in Hockey its the main focus of way to many coaches" Do we know one???
I got to add a fifth, watching Fergie in the song of the day
DeleteIt seems better Call Saul will face stiff competition for ratings from a new reality tv show called. Shaved Ape Real Estate. The Shaved Ape has a licence to close using his trademark phrase " Buy the house of I am going to fucking kill you"
ReplyDeleteMr. is off to lose his shirt at a poker tournament this aft soooo no cooking for moi! Leftover lasagna I think. Stoopid leaf won, give the dopey fans hope! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteleaf fans think they won something last night. Not sure what.
Delete'goal of the year'. IATG.
DeleteWas at the Connor McDavid Bowl last night between the Laffs and the Oilers (old friends managed to get tickets). For a laffs team that scored 5 goals, the ACC was library quiet and the in-game experience was nothing special. Thank goodness for friends that made it worth my time.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the passionate fans of Centre Bell any day. Does COTU media mix in crowd noise when they show the laffs games every effing week?
I wonder what Connor McDavid thinks about going to Edmonton or Toronto? Or even worse, Buffalo. If it was me I'd be hoping for Arizona, soon to be Las Vegas Coyotes or Carolina. Two much nicer climes.

Felt like a gourmet pizza but not like I felt like driving out to get one (even after an hour of shovelling, which I don't mind doing), so, took some Naan bread and slathered some garlic olive oil on the bottom, shredded some mozza and made my own with what is maybe some of the best puttanesca sauce I have found,

Evening kids! Thanks for the love
ReplyDeleteBeen out all day doing the politics and my guy won his nomination so I'm looking for a Habs win to complete the perfect day
Congrats 29 because I know no matter how high we are we will be ruled. Be it goverment or the lack of LSD
DeleteSo for you to reach such an extentsion I will have to set aside my cynical pretension.
Go 29 Go, and your vision of the world which might intersect most importanltly with mine.
btw today's ♥ Habs ♥ is Norm DusSAULt and today's tune o da day is Saul Hudson, aka Slash. With Fergie in tight pants!
ReplyDelete29, that is really good, man!
DeleteI have said once and will say again, some things are not withing our reach no matter how much talent we have. I am not speaking specificly of DDD. Butt seeing Fergies Ass in spray on pants liberates me.
DeleteIn my most fantasic incanation I will never cut away the plastic that surrounds me in the way Fregie hips say that this is the way.
I agree steve, I am now on hour 2 of enjoying Fergie's pants
Deletewait, I am not sure that came out right
RDS calls him Doogie Hamilton.
ReplyDeleteThere was golf earlier, I had to go to sn(o)et till the game, but I've switCHed back now, thanks.
DeleteHas anyone noticed I must have a case of the vapours? Yes you can get weed direct vapour, just like rock stars a decade ago, Not saying I have ever done something scientest would contain within a plastic bag.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God.
ReplyDelete29, thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting that video of Fergie and Slash. Not only do I love that song, but those gray leather pants....
Everyone lovers the pants! Makes up for her voice on that song. And normally I love Fergie's voice, and I think she can sing rock well (find Barracuda with Ann and Nancy Wilson, she kills it). But sh'e's a little off there I think.
DeleteBut you don't notice because of the pants! And the gyrating! And the gyrating in pants! PANTS! Jeff in HK, we miss you
Wonder what Josh Duhamel thought of the gyrating with Slash? Meh, who cares. I enjoyed it.
DeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGYFHG!!! DIE BROONS DIE!!!!!!1!!11!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice work 29! Today is the last day of 'teaching' (like I ever started), so it's movie day! Thus, I get to watch the game live. Then spend the rest of the week writing report cards and marking tests. GO HABS GO!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of TV shows, does anyone watch It's Always Sunny here? Because last week's episode was amazing.

ReplyDeleteTD Garden has been sold out for 4 years! So, since they won the Cup. Bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteThe Patches Ping.
ReplyDeleteNice dive there by whoever blocked that shot.
ReplyDeleteIf 'over the glass' wasn't an automatic penalty, they probably wouldn't have called it.
ReplyDeleteOne of the few penalties that can't be embellished.
DeleteOh, it was Daddy's boy. Surprised there wasn't a major called on the play.
ReplyDelete""Those penalties took their toll on us," he told reporters after the Avs game. "It’s too bad. It was such a close game. To have a (5-2) edge on us on the power play is unbelievable.""
ReplyDelete2 were pucks over the glass, I guess that shouldn't be called because it's the Bruins?
What a whiner, he always whines when his team of divers gets a penalty,.
Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteForget about the puck, TFS, when you see them charging you like that put your stick out and aim to kill.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteI think Cakes had his first NHL goal on the Bruins?
ReplyDeletePatCHes is kicking himself on that one.

ReplyDeleteMy stress free morning isn't so stress free. Kids didn't show up for class so I just spent 20 minutes searching the school for them. Turns out their homeroom teacher decided they didn't need English class today. Ok, fine, but how about you tell the goddamn English teacher next time.

ReplyDeleteWow, SN just tells us that 44% of Norris trophies have gone to Montreal and Boston. If you add Detroit you'd probably get up to 80%. But really, that's pretty crazy.
ReplyDeleteleaf have never had one.
DeleteOMG, Clod is crying the ref still.
ReplyDeleteNice dive, Pyatt.
ReplyDeleteBack to the powerless play.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how any hockey fan can watch the broons and not see that they're the diving team of the NHL. I've counted at lest 5 and I missed half this period.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta wonder if PleXXXe isn't telling the linesmen to drop the fucking puck before getting booted from the circle.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how he always gets thrown out.
DeleteIt's not just him. I'd guess there's always at least a 30% chance that the Hab player will get kicked out. Like we've said, this crap goes beyond penalty calls. It's the icings, offsides and stuff like this, too.
DeleteWhenever they get out of the 1st not down I consider it a good period.
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait. I thought you guys were being sarcastic up on this thread. But for reals TSN is trying to force this "Goal of the Year" nonsense on the leaf? Jesus christ, they are sad. So very sad.
ReplyDeleteNothing should surprise you when it comes to the leaf and their shit network.
Deleteand vica versa
DeleteCP's resident leafool/mediot stephen whynno is the main culprit for the re-splooging (he replaced shrimpy chris johnson, now licking leaf ass at snet). The mediots simply re-post that POS' leafilingus (new word!).
Deletethey lied about OTR ij my w0opd. Expected dud niot
ReplyDeleteMight be a new mix for bartender 29. Roasted coconut water and Amaretto.

Another point for PatCHes!
ReplyDeleteSIP!
So, did anyone else notice that slewfoot by ratface on PK behind the Habs net shortly before the goal? Because if that was the other way around it would have been replayed 96 times by now with various people screaming for PK's head. Instead, it was completely glossed over. I doubt we'll ever see it again. I have the power of rewind and it's pretty damn obvious.
ReplyDeleteActually RDS said that 'charging' call he got was also a slewfoot. The likely ignored it because he was just suspended for one.
DeleteAre they winning?
ReplyDeleteWatCHing the Grammys with Mrs. Maritimer.
Only in-game-thread CHs qualify the M.
DeleteBefore you reply, call my internet lawyer.
DeleteI only talk to him about PANTS!
DeleteWhy was Lego waived off?
ReplyDeleteH'e taller than kidG?
DeleteBeaners whining and looking at the refs to get KidG a penalty. Who coaches these fucking babies?
ReplyDeleteChara's (no CH for him) first instinct after the goal was to look immediately at the ref. Like, what for? I guess they just got used to getting phantom calls for all those years.
DeleteGo get another goal boys, fuck with Rask's head.
ReplyDeleteBRUINS ARE FIGHTING HARD, HITTING HARD!!!! AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteCalm down there, Bob Cold. It was one (half) hit each. Put your broon boner away.
broons can hold everyone's stick as much as they please.
ReplyDeleteSolid first 30 minutes by our Habs.
ReplyDeleteJeebus it's hard listening to Galley do a broon game.
ReplyDeletePretty sure kidG could be raped and murdered in front of Rask and there would be no call.
Best play of the game so far, Pretzel bouncing off of cakeS. Must be the sponge variety.
It's dead time! I'll finish the 2nd while that gets started.
Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, Cold can barely contain his excitement every time a broon touches the puck. Then Price saves it and it's like, "Ugh, price saves it OH MY GOD LUCIC GETS THE PUCK AGAIN!!!!!!! HE SHOOOOOOOOTSSSSSS!!!!!! and another save."
ReplyDeleteSn is still trying to convince us that lucic hit on cakeS was awesome. He bounced off and fell down. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteOman, if you want to avoid typing the CH in chara's name, replace it with shaved ape.
ReplyDeleteNo CHocula in this team.
ReplyDelete'Save of the Year!' : )
ReplyDelete...no, I'm sure that will belong to Reimer.
DeleteBut, FUCK YEAH, what a save!
Whoa, TFS! Maybe he considered baseball as a career?
ReplyDeleteWe would have a field day if Pastabernak was a Hab.
ReplyDeleteThat could be one of the best saves of the year and SN seriously can't be bothered. Too busy splooging over the broons.
ReplyDeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust from what I'm reading here, the diving B's are getting away with lots of shit because Jacobs says so and bob cold and gary galling are being boston fanboy dicks. That about right?
ReplyDeleteMildly, yes.
DeleteOui Monsieur des Maritimes.
Delete"You don't mind icing it when you have good centers because you know there's a good chance you'll win the next one!"
ReplyDeleteDid anyone tell Gally that the Habs are 1st (maybe 2nd) in the league in faceoffs, above his broons? Or it just a mental block that he can't give props to the Habs no matter what?
It is simply amazing what the broons get away with.
ReplyDelete2 punCHes in the face for kidG and refs know it and do nothing.
ReplyDeleteCalm, Cool, Careyd.
ReplyDeleteSee the cheap shot lucy gave CHip at the faceoff after the ref separated them and wasn't looking anymore?
ReplyDeleteYup. Fucking broon asswipe.
DeleteDoes anyone watch Parks and Recreation? There's this character called Perd who has his own talk show and the joke is he just states the obvious in a very elaborate way. It's hilarious. Anyway, Bob Cole is exactly like that. I was trying to put my finger on it for a long time, and I finally figured it out. The fact that he doesn't know any of the names just adds to it.
ReplyDelete"The Canadiens shoot the puck down. Will it be icing? It looks like icing. It is icing."
"Boston shoots the puck at the goalie who stops it because that's what goalies do. And this one does it well."
"There was a hit and he fell down becuase of the hit that made him fall down."
snet keeps decrepit corpses like cold, crotch and mclame for fear of losing half it's audience.
DeleteHillarious, Orangeman,.

DeleteFor your viewing pleasure, just to give you an idea. It really is hilarious. "Issue #1 is the first issue we're going to talk about". "Let's begin the show by...starting it". "To get a female perspective on this issue, we're going to talk to a woman."
Watch it and tell me it's not just a black Bob Cole.

ReplyDeleteDutch Gretzky with a great pass (after a trip, but I digress).
ReplyDeleteAccording to Gally, the Habs aren't the better team. No, no, no. The broons just aren't playing well. Playing right into their hands, even!
ReplyDeleteI tried that channel for 10 seconds. Horrible.
DeleteThe only time Cold's voice goes up is when the broons are shooting it. Any time they're in the zone they're 'dominating' and 'running around in there'. The Habs in the broon zone? Wouldn't even know it, because apparently they always seem to have possession, even when they don't.
ReplyDeleteCASH IT CASH IT CASH IT CASH IT
ReplyDeleteNothing extremely late hit by lucic, about 10 strides to make it. No call, of course.
ReplyDelete*Another
DeleteFinally.
ReplyDeleteComes in 3's.
DeleteLike the movement on the PP. Big CHange.
ReplyDeleteNice attempt to injure on Patches.
ReplyDeleteknee on knee
DeleteRDS showed the reply, said when mcquaid saw he wasn't getting the puck he put his leg out.
DeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's ok guys, Gally and Cold agree it wasn't a penalty. To paraphrase McCounahay at the end of A Time to Kill: Now imgaine it was a black man.
ReplyDeletebroons knock price, no call of course.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Malcolm is thinking? Is he secretly rooting for the Habs?
ReplyDeleteTFuckingS!™
ReplyDeleteThe cage has been rattled.
ReplyDeleteFunny how the 'war room' has cameras now eh?
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was a goal. But let's be honest, it wouldn't have mattered either way. It was going to count.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I knew it too, just bitChin'.
DeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Cole has really come alive now. I wonder why.
ReplyDeletebroons flopping all over place to get a call.
ReplyDeletewooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteEat shit and die!!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet sweep!
ReplyDeleteLOLZ, the linesman tries to call it off. Oh, NHL. Cole and Gally sound like they're at a funeral.
ReplyDeleteThey asked him why it was not a goal, he said, it's good, I was calling no icing.
DeleteYeah.
ReplyDeleteNow to hear crying clod. They didn't get a PP. Unfair. WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe post-sweep-whining will be more pathetic than ever, brace yourselves.
ReplyDeletefuck them except when them are us
ReplyDeleteNothing like shutting up that crowd of cromagnans.
ReplyDelete29 must've kissed a lot of bab(i)es today.
ReplyDeleteSabers only got 10 shots today (tho they only lost 3-2). How did the Habs lose to them last week?
ReplyDeleteFirst season sweep for the Habs over the broons all in regulation since the 1940s. But they did sweep them in 2007/8, when they played EIGHT times.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, from late 3rd last night to early 2nd tonight, Weiss scored a natural hat trick.
Btw, I've been getting hand made gifts and cards from students all morning, so it really is a good day. Just got some origami animals from some kids. One is just paper wrapped around a rock. I don't get, but when you're a teacher you learn to accept any gift like it's a new car.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter told me today the weather is so bad the kids haven't had outdoor recess in a few days, getting antsy.
DeleteHey guys, who won the game? No word in TSN. It's only been half an hour, though.
ReplyDeleteThe 'creative writers' have to try to come up with some negative spin on the Habs.....they've go a mental block.
DeleteStill nothing.
DeleteApparently the league (Quintal) says they have a mandate to crack down on knee-on-knee and would normally review even if not called, but GAGnon says a source says it was borderline and the league won't be looking further into McQuaid's dirty fucking knee-on-knee.
ReplyDeleteLove it, and not the first time. Border line = It depends on what team and what player. If you're serious about cracking down on something, then crack down on it.
DeleteExactly.
DeletePrice is now tied for fourth on the Canadiens' all-time wins list with Bill Durnan with 208 victories.
ReplyDeleteNight all.
ReplyDeleteHoooooooooooooWeeeeeeee! Nice win. Season sweep but it won't count for much once we get to the playoffs. One game at a time.I didn't make the game last night - but will watch the Gamecentre version later today and comment...sounds like there was some "controversy" ...Another "out hit, outshot" effort...but not by much on either front...Go Habs Go!!
ReplyDeleteI'd just like to say, I could have watched that game last night, but when I read that cold and galling were calling it, I decided to take a pass. I don't care for awards shows but I got to see AC/DC rockin' the house to open and later a number by Jeff Lynne and ELO, one of my faves from the '80's.
ReplyDeleteGo show by the lads last night in beantown, WE own those fuckers.
I saw that too The M - missed ELO, but AC/DC certainly know how to open a show...A nicely slowed down version of Highway to Hell was pretty cool too.
DeleteHEH, Die broons die! They would be wise to sit Pretzel against the Habs. The sight of (Y) turns him even more cro-magnon than usual. What a fucking couple of idiots, he and ratface.
ReplyDeleteWalking Dead fans. Not sure if you've watched the episode yet, so I won't spoil anything by saying I think that was one of the crappiest episodes yet. THAT is your mid-season premiere? Nothing fucking happened! Anyway, that's all I will say.
Go YMFH GO!

ReplyDeleteTHIRD STAR – DAVID DESHARNAIS, C, MONTREAL CANADIENS
Desharnais paced the NHL with five assists and a +6 rating and also shared the League lead with six points to power the Canadiens (34-15-3, 71 points) to two wins in three starts. He opened the week with 1-1-2 in a 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Feb. 3. Desharnais then matched career highs with three assists/points in a 6-2 win over the New Jersey Devils Feb. 7, reaching those marks for the first time since Dec. 31, 2013 (0-3-3 at CAR). He added one assist in a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins Feb. 8 to help the Canadiens sweep their season series for the first time since 2007-08. The 28-year-old Laurier-Station, Que., native ranks fifth on the Canadiens with 8-23-31 in 52 contests this season; his 23 assists also share second on the club.
They forgot CHip's week.
DeleteOops, forgot the sip!
DeleteAssorted notes after studying the standings as I like to do after a win:
ReplyDelete- It is a death match at the top of the Atlantic
- And death match atop the East Conf b/c the Metro's top teams are all floundering lately)
- Habs 2 pts behind TB for both, but 3G in hand
- But Det also 2 pts behind with 3G in hand
- Habs tied for 2nd most wins in the league with 34 (Nashville with 35, TB, NYI, StL, Ana all with 34)
- Leaf 13 pts out of a playoff spot with 3 teams to leapfrog (weee!)
Probably the 8 teams sitting in a playoff spot right now are the teams that will be there in the end. The thing is the race is so tight, come playoff time, any one of those other 7 teams could theoretically be the Habs' first round opponent. Realistically, it will most likely be TB, Detroit, Boston, NYR or Washington...or NYI...or Pitts...yeah, so could be anybody. Crazy.
DeleteEver since last week I have decided to channel JT. The regular season is a marathon and the Habs need to finish well, then take on whoever they have to. To win the cup they will have to beat whoever they face regardless, so I am not going to worth too much about where they finish. Don't get me wrong - I want them to win the next 30 games...but I am not going to sweat it if they drop a couple along the way...except for Saturday night...they absolutely must win Saturday night!
DeleteMade you click bitCHes! Sip on this!
