MB says he's not shopping N8 but clubs are calling....sound familiar?
« Mon travail consiste à améliorer l’équipe. Nathan (Beaulieu) n’est pas dans la vitrine pour employer une expression de hockey, mais j’ai reçu des appels et oui j’écoute ce que les autres clubs ont à offrir. C’est ma job d’écouter, d’analyser. Nathan est un bon jeune défenseur. On ne sait pas encore quelle sera sa niche précise dans la LNH. Si je veux améliorer mon équipe, je dois bouger des joueurs qui ont de la valeur. C’est exactement ce que j’ai fait en échangeant P.K. (Subban) pour mettre la main sur un gars comme Shea Weber. On n’a rien pour rien dans la LNH », a insisté Bergevin.
And here we go again...Bergevin is so full of himself I think he actually believes that what he says to the reporters they take at face value. They all know he lies to them but he just makes statements like that and smiles thinking he's answered the question...I suppose in reality he has because by saying that he's not shopping but listening he's (as Juce has pointed out) clearly trying to move N8. I personally have no view on whether he's worth keeping or not - didn't see enough of him last year to make that call. I am reacting to the blatant lies that Bergevin continues to tell the press. I fucking hate a liar almost as much as I hate the leaf...And in Montreal these days it just doesn't seem to end.
His foxhole roomie is sewn from the same thread, I guess that's what makes them such close personal friends. I really don't know how I can stomach seeing AF's face behind the bench this season.
If you publicly state you're not shopping (insert player name here) you are in fact telling other GM's 'call me and make me an offer'. He'd probably sell TFS for peanuts when his contract comes up.
I know I have been staying out of the loop a lot recently but could someone fill me in...AF? Therrein? Surely the word asshole is in there but could someone enlighten me
MB "Nathan is a good young player,. We're not sure what his specific niche is in the NHL" Sounds like the 'we don't know whether CHyuk a winger or a centre'
How incompetent are you? How can you be trusted to trade for other teams' players when you can't even assess your own players which you see on a daily basis?
And of course, as we have all just been saying - all the blogs and papers are actively promoting a "Habs Shopping Beaulieu" story - which I 100& believe that if any of the media asked Bergevin about he would deny - fucking dick
I am guilty of not having too much good to say lately. I should follow the Walt Disney doctrine of "if you can't say something nice about someone, say nothing at all."
Yeah...sorry but the foxhole fuck faces have done a pretty good job of killing the joy..season almost here and already fuck all to look forward to...until December when they both get axed...ot at least I can dreM
I agree, in part, that it isn't FHFun to be a Habs sometimes but it is too soon to feel down. I think we can all agree that mt2 has proven to be an arrogant fuckface but until our Habs start a losing streak, he is in like a fox in.a hole. The irony is we'd rather see the team win and I think they will. There's going to be a lot of weird shit to continue to deal with and yes discuss amongst ourselves in here. I like it when we keep it snarky and sexy and fun. Hopefully you can decipher my attitude through the pics and tunes. There are few places we can convene and let it all hang out. The beauty of this joint is there are few to no trolls. I'm pretty quick to wipe em out. The new season is soon upon us, we have a few stellar Habs in the tranna cup, so let's have fucking FHFun.
I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to go through my hockey cards from the 60's and 70's, and even the 80's and try and get my spirits back up looking at the great players from the past.
WOW, what a Harvest moon out tonight! Beautiful, clear, cool night out there. I had a great round of golf today, shot an 82, on the back nine I was 1 over par 36 going birdie, birdie, par the last three holes. Enjoying some 8 year old Cruzan rum with pineapple juice and watching the Als right now. Moey's right, it's time for some positive vibes. Associate Coach Captain Kirk Is Work will filter out the Empty noise and get the boys off to a good start. I'm hoping the new Finnish kid will put a little spark into the lineup just like Saku back in the day.
The knees are good. The back not so much, but I'm grinding out the season. Ibuprofen is my best friend theses days.
I expect to see McM sometime this season. Right now, DD is a roadblock in any young forward's path. Bargain bin has to remove empty's play toy for the betterment of the team. We'll see if he has the balls to do it.
Moey, you might think differently about "relieving someone of their duties" if they start 2-10.
moe, I have an authentic Gretzky autographed card, it's worth a few bucks. I'm saving it for something special.
One final thing before I sign off for the night. This talk of Bergevin listening to trades for N8... why doesn't MB just keep his fucking mouth shut? How is Beaulieu going to feel if he thinks he's not being shopped like PK? Exactly.
Also, Weber was no upgrade on Subban. I still say it was a money deal, for both teams.
I was also happy when Kirk was hired, then all fucking hell broke loose when management found out PK was his favourite NHL player to watch - you certainly can't have that! Coincidence? Add Bergevin endorsing his arrogant buddy when any other coach in the entire league would have been fired for less.
I won't be surprised at all that they will have a better season, how can they not? I totally expect it after that shit-show-worst-season-since- WW2 they were coached to last year because there is no way that team was as bad as their record showed even without TFS and the only player who brought it every shift, every game and was the leading point-getter right up to his last game got kicked out of the country.
It saddens me to think that TFS will save their jobs while the foxhole buds will take all the credit for it and AF's media friends will see to it that they do. THAT'S WHAT PISSES ME OFF.
I have always remained positive where my Habs were concerned, even when games seemed out of hand and there seemed like no way to come back because there was always hope...but these idiots just ripped something right out of me. I hate to feel this way and I don't want to feel this way and I hate AF and MB for making me feel this way.
Do you not think my heart was ripped out when they let Saku walk and replaced him with Scott fecking Gomez for almost double the paycheck AND he wore number 11???
Shit happens and we don't always like it. The only jersey I own is a Koivu Ducks jersey and I wanted to own it out of spite. As a matter of fact I made it my business to be in Anaheim the first time Saku faced Montreal after he left. I loved him that much. I wore his Ducks jersey to the game but when the habs were down 3-2 I had to take it off. As much as I loved him I loved the team more. That's it. The Habs won it in overtime. We're all here because we love the TEAM. Screw the rest of it and let's get on with the season. Go You fucking Habs Go!
Just one last thing, they don't need TFS to save their collective asses they just need a goaltender with a higher than .895 save percentage. That's what happened last season, no decent plan B in goal. Unforseen so I give them the benifit of the doubt,
With all due respect, again, that falls on the GM, he had about 70 games to figure it out and do what GMis are supposed to do and that was his excuse too when he said 'with a healthy Carey, we're not here today' and 'trades are hard to make' They strung us along all season with Price's injury with false expectations when he would return. There was a report in French media that it was a marketing decision to string us along and not reveal the extent of his injury because they felt the fans wouldn't come to games if they knew the truth. At the time I thought that was silly but each time they would come out with a different return date that didn't happen it started to ring true. I'm sorry, TFS is the best but goaltending was not the only problem, TFS was AF's only plan to win games, he had no plan B. AF's favouritism for DDD giving him top minutes even when he couldn't produce to the detriment of gCHyuk and his GM supporting him by stating they don't know if he's winger or a centre and may never be a centre. It took DDD's injury to give him a chance and maybe, just maybe if they had done that at some point during the 36 or so games that DDD never scored, maybe they wouldn't have ended the way they did and made the playoff or maybe if they had someone to fix the PP instead of just switching the coaches around. The PP hasn't worked since MB and AF were hired and they did nothing to improve it. Choosing JJD over Big Bird, etc... All of these together do not fall solely on the goaltending.
I love my team but I certainly do not have to support the guys in charge of running them, the sooner they're gone, the better. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
I think this is what kills us the most, we love our team and we see some serious holes (see what I did there?) and some fucked up decisions. Not much we can do but CHeer for the boys on the ice and hope for the best, especially if we are lucky to see Captain Kirk steer this ship sooner than later but that'll require a fucking iceberg.
Last year we tanked, so thats why I am planning the parade this year. DDD was on the PP to make sure we did not score. Sivens was not only the worst goalie in the NHL he was the worst in the AHL. Even our foxhole guys appreciate save %. We did not play PFK the last 19 games? Even when gCHuck was the best player in the league little Davey was still getting at least as much if not more ice time. Dish was playing with one ball. CHe, BBQ, and Frodo, are a huge winning injection into the CH. Plan the fucking parade already.
I still say the most interesting part of the upcoming season will be the home opener and the player/coaching staff introductions. I won't watch that long, drawn out process but if anyone plans to, I'd like to find out if anyone gets booed.
BTW, They should retire the torch passing ceremony. No. 4 has passed and it wouldn't seem right to do it without him there. Besides, Houle and Tremblay dropped it 20 years ago and now Molson and his two puppets have buried it somewhere. Let these guys build there own legend, if they have it in them.
I'll likely have it on in the background, to CHeck out the Habs players and to see how much scary scowling blabs does. Also, the SFU will be in full force, so thats FHFun.
Trading N8 makes sense, we are only outsoucing development. The NHL is not a development league after all, our mangement team is two of a kind that beats a full house.
I have a new theory, a Steve-like conspiracy is at work. "The Man" has discovered FHF and knows that we know more than they do and is trying to destroy us from within. Divide and Conquer.
Has anyone else noticed that FHF could also stand for Fox Hole Friends? Coincidence? I think not!
BBQ is meaner than a junkyard dog, everybody says so. Frodo will make the big club. Scherback is another high skill player we shoud trade today. Fuckme, is a fuckup We have a whole team of third line smurfs who are easily muscled off the puck, they all have been modeling there game after DDD the most protected player in NHL history.
Congrats to our closing ceremonies flag bearer Aurelie Rivard and all our paralympians. We don't say much about the games these athletes compete in but they deserve kudos and respect for their efforts and their accomplishments. I'm pretty sure very one of us has had that weird dream or nightmare where something happens to us or one of our loved ones, leaving someone disabled or handicapped in some form. Although I didn't tune in for many hours of coverage, I did check out a few events. These fellow humans deserve major credit for where they are in their lives despite barriers that we might take for granted. To think they inspire, us. Congrats to all.
Hate to sound like a broken record (not really) but mclame is (still) disgusting and smarmy and arrogant. Strombo was worse than this piece of fucking shit?
Bonus, his 23 hometown hackfest barely acknowledges the province of Quebec.
I really shouldn't be commenting on the SFUckers as I haven't watched one second of the Gary Bettman/Rogers cash grab. However, history tells us that they will look inward to their precious gta audience and screw everybody else.
I am kinda looking forward to the drama when empty and bargain bin show up for the annual golf tournament. I hope the press lobs a few fastballs at the "dynamic duo" just to see if they can come up with some new lies/excuses. Should be a chuckle or two. Their game plan for the new season? It's spelled Carey Price.
I might see a glimmer of hope if BigMac can supplant wee Davey on the 3rd line. Seems he really shone at the rookie tournament. If he can I'll bet empty will have an even longer face on him behind the bench.
One Big Mac equal three DDD nuggets. We are in win now, we need to trade Hudun, Scherback, Fucale for one top six, or include N8 for a top 4 D, I like Schattenkirk, but really wonder if N8 could not be as good with the right coach, and maybe a curfew.
Yeah heard it too. Marinaro was on his usual PK slag-fest again and then asks MT if he could come on the show regularly, maybe once a month. He figures his summer-long trashing of PK worked to get KidA on weekly he may as well go for a bigger fish.
Even Geoff the owner is yipping. Come on people lets move on and look to a better season, I know not hard. Monsieur Molson said it has been a "rock n' roll summer". I'm CHallenging myself to come up with a Top 10 album/song list that best defines this summer. Feel free to help.
So I had some oral surgery on Monday. Nothing serious, thanks for asking, but I came out of there with some stitches on my upper palate. And instructions not to eat anything spicy or too flavourful, crunchy, or hot for 3 days. They also said that all liquids should be at room temperature. I am surviving on straight scotch, Highland so as not to violate the spicy / flavourful business. And unsweetened apple sauce. This diet is awesome!
So I'm sitting outside on my deck. Champagne and beer mix in hand. Still light out. I want to go in and check the tranna cup to see TFS and BBQ and PatCHes. I've decided our summers are too short and will miss the game until it gets dark. GYFHG!
OK, I'm probably going to catch hell from Moey for more empty bashing but I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read this quote about newcomer Radulov from the kindly ol' coach over at HI/O:
"I got a good feeling. I truly got a good feeling with him. He’s got a great personality, he brings life in the dressing room, life in the game, he hates to lose. He could do a lot of things. I got a really good feeling for him.”
Well, fuck me you could have said that about another guy that no longer plays for the Habs. I'll bet Rad will be a healthy scratch by game 3! Too funny!
Michel Villeneuve was fired by 91.9, says maybe there was pressure by the Canadiens because they negotiated to have the rights to air the Rocket games.
«C'est leur décision. Ont-ils été victimes de pressions de la part du Canadien? Peut-être, car ils ont négocié fort pour obtenir les droits de diffusion de matchs du Rocket de Montréal (le club-école du Canadien à partir de l'an prochain). Ont-ils succombé aux pressions? Il ventait fort. La station en est à ses premiers balbutiements. Mais de mon côté, j'ai toujours maintenu ma position et ce soir, je me couche en paix.»
Extrodinary claims require extrondinary proof. Remember The Chariots of the Gods Great supistion, but lousy science. Villeneuve was Edward Snowden without documented evidence. He deserved to go. If you want to kill the king there is no room for error.
Glad I missed it but then again the SFUers will be cramming this kind of shit until he gets trade to the Coyotes. I find it utterly hilarious how these wads droopingly spew about speed and skill! and speed and skill! and speed and skill! How long has the game been played? Is speed a new concept? sportsnet is a hive of leaf fuck(s).
How cute, huge-son calls Ryan ORielly Morgan Rielly, doesn't catch his own mistake and then reads a script about austin. Need more proof this is a tranna cup?
How about a little break from the goings on in the gta where hockey's elite have gathered to do... something.
Local CBC news tonight, a reporter was down at the cruise ship terminal today asking local vendors and tourist employees what some of the more unique questions from passengers have been asked. I'm assuming some of these folks have a)never been near the ocean and b)never been to Canada. Here goes:
1) Where is the switch that makes Reversing Falls run backwards? 2) When will the fog lift and where is the snow? 3) When do they release the whales so we can watch them?
and here is the best one:
4) At what age does a deer become a moose? "............................."
Overall, the Leafs are spending a pile of money on players who won’t play for them. Including Robidas’s $3-million deal, Lupul, Nathan Horton, Jared Cowen’s disputed contract, Tim Gleason’s buyout and the retained salary from Phil Kessel’s deal, they could be spending up to $19.2-million on thin air next season, almost exclusively on cleaning up mistakes left by previous management teams.
Nice SF Moeman. Go you rookie Habs Go.

ReplyDeleteHas anyone else noticed that FHF could also stand for Fox Hole Friends? Coincidence? I think not!

Frodo will make the big club.
Scherback is another high skill player we shoud trade today.
Fuckme, is a fuckup
We have a whole team of third line smurfs who are easily muscled off the puck, they all have been modeling there game after DDD the most protected player in NHL history.
1. OK

3. Absolutely

5. Yes and yes.
Nice game by Sid, TFS™, BBQ and the boys.
ReplyDeleteNever realized sittler was such a huge international Canadian star.
Yeah, ONE tournament. More desperate longings for the leaf fanboy hacks. Ha Ha.
Deletemclame is doing an 8 episode series about how great tranna is.
DeleteHappy Birthday to Scotty Bowman, 83 today!
ReplyDeletethe inventer of hockey analytics Happy Birthday we sure could use you now.,
DeleteCongrats to our closing ceremonies flag bearer Aurelie Rivard and all our paralympians. We don't say much about the games these athletes compete in but they deserve kudos and respect for their efforts and their accomplishments. I'm pretty sure very one of us has had that weird dream or nightmare where something happens to us or one of our loved ones, leaving someone disabled or handicapped in some form. Although I didn't tune in for many hours of coverage, I did check out a few events. These fellow humans deserve major credit for where they are in their lives despite barriers that we might take for granted. To think they inspire, us. Congrats to all.
ReplyDeleteHate to sound like a broken record (not really) but mclame is (still) disgusting and smarmy and arrogant. Strombo was worse than this piece of fucking shit?
ReplyDeleteBonus, his 23 hometown hackfest barely acknowledges the province of Quebec.
SFUcker.
Yikes, what describes tranna idiocy more; ron and don or tim and sid. What fucking garbage.
ReplyDeleteMethane gas emanating from these turds contributing to global warming...
DeleteOttawa Baby Goon Neils CHevy he leaves the ice bent and dont come back
ReplyDeleteNew slim goalie pants are Strombos lasting contribution to hockey.
ReplyDeleteAnyone hear wee Brendan this AM on TSN690? Not bad and he's going to be a fixture on Mondays during the season.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Soledad O'Brien. 50 and still drop dead gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI thought she was killed in Batman vs Superman when they blew up the Capitol building? Hope I didn't spoil anything... :-)
DeleteI really shouldn't be commenting on the SFUckers as I haven't watched one second of the Gary Bettman/Rogers cash grab. However, history tells us that they will look inward to their precious gta audience and screw everybody else.
ReplyDeleteI am kinda looking forward to the drama when empty and bargain bin show up for the annual golf tournament. I hope the press lobs a few fastballs at the "dynamic duo" just to see if they can come up with some new lies/excuses. Should be a chuckle or two. Their game plan for the new season? It's spelled Carey Price.
ReplyDeleteI might see a glimmer of hope if BigMac can supplant wee Davey on the 3rd line. Seems he really shone at the rookie tournament. If he can I'll bet empty will have an even longer face on him behind the bench.
One Big Mac equal three DDD nuggets. We are in win now, we need to trade Hudun, Scherback, Fucale for one top six, or include N8 for a top 4 D, I like Schattenkirk, but really wonder if N8 could not be as good with the right coach, and maybe a curfew.
DeleteLots of chatter that the Habs need a top 4 D. Too bad they didn't have one already. Oh right.
DeleteRusskies beat Team USA, I am like Jon Snow, I know nothing.
ReplyDeleteMolson says they truly did not know when TFS would be back. Sure.
ReplyDeleteJust heard an 1/2 hour interview with our coach for 2016, who is this guy he sounds great. I was disappointed no one asked if he was diddling DDD.
ReplyDeleteYeah heard it too. Marinaro was on his usual PK slag-fest again and then asks MT if he could come on the show regularly, maybe once a month. He figures his summer-long trashing of PK worked to get KidA on weekly he may as well go for a bigger fish.
DeleteWhen it was over someone called in and asked why he always seems targets PK at every opportunity.
DeleteMore whine anyone?
ReplyDeleteEven Geoff the owner is yipping. Come on people lets move on and look to a better season, I know not hard. Monsieur Molson said it has been a "rock n' roll summer". I'm CHallenging myself to come up with a Top 10 album/song list that best defines this summer. Feel free to help.

DeleteGO CANADA GO!!!! (I guess, whatever)
ReplyDeleteYeah!
DeleteTFS & BBQ!
DeletePlay well PatCHes.
So I had some oral surgery on Monday. Nothing serious, thanks for asking, but I came out of there with some stitches on my upper palate. And instructions not to eat anything spicy or too flavourful, crunchy, or hot for 3 days. They also said that all liquids should be at room temperature. I am surviving on straight scotch, Highland so as not to violate the spicy / flavourful business. And unsweetened apple sauce. This diet is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo you will keep that scotCH warm to the touCH in the glass you fervently grasp!
DeleteI was going to suggest scotch, neat at room temperature but, you knew that already.
Deleteherbs
DeleteSeriously how muCH bigger a bone could Geoff throw Sexy Friday with "rock and roll summer "?
ReplyDeleteSo I'm sitting outside on my deck. Champagne and beer mix in hand. Still light out. I want to go in and check the tranna cup to see TFS and BBQ and PatCHes. I've decided our summers are too short and will miss the game until it gets dark. GYFHG!
ReplyDeleteGood plan.
DeleteListening to;
DeleteListen to Rewind: Unreleased Recordings by J.J. Cale on @AppleMusic.

OK, I'm probably going to catch hell from Moey for more empty bashing but I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read this quote about newcomer Radulov from the kindly ol' coach over at HI/O:
ReplyDelete"I got a good feeling. I truly got a good feeling with him. He’s got a great personality, he brings life in the dressing room, life in the game, he hates to lose. He could do a lot of things. I got a really good feeling for him.”
Well, fuck me you could have said that about another guy that no longer plays for the Habs. I'll bet Rad will be a healthy scratch by game 3! Too funny!
*Ducks out*
Now that's funny.
Delete*beans the M with a lemon*
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of lemons, time for a G & T!
Gah! Limes, not lemon, dammit!
DeleteBut I will accept it
DeleteNice catCH on the lemon vs. lime.
DeleteHuge-son has a sore throat or something

ReplyDeleteHow CHill is TFS™?
ReplyDeleteMcDonaugh! For Canada!
ReplyDeleteMe thinks we got this one.
ReplyDeleteClock is a ticking on Team USA (and Torts).
DeleteStrange choice for a coach IMO.
DeleteI do enjoy CHeese with my whine, the foxhole guys do provide a plethora of varieties.
ReplyDeletePatCHes and Weber fighting already.
ReplyDeleteMichel Villeneuve was fired by 91.9, says maybe there was pressure by the Canadiens because they negotiated to have the rights to air the Rocket games.
ReplyDelete«C'est leur décision. Ont-ils été victimes de pressions de la part du Canadien? Peut-être, car ils ont négocié fort pour obtenir les droits de diffusion de matchs du Rocket de Montréal (le club-école du Canadien à partir de l'an prochain). Ont-ils succombé aux pressions? Il ventait fort. La station en est à ses premiers balbutiements. Mais de mon côté, j'ai toujours maintenu ma position et ce soir, je me couche en paix.»
91.9 wanted Villeneuve to reveal his sources to them but he refused.
ReplyDeleteExtrodinary claims require extrondinary proof. Remember The Chariots of the Gods Great supistion, but lousy science. Villeneuve was Edward Snowden without documented evidence. He deserved to go. If you want to kill the king there is no room for error.
ReplyDeleteWith the USA out count on the Buttman cup to end in the ratings toliet.
ReplyDeleteFun game this afternoon. HOWEVER
ReplyDeleteThere is so much splooging over Matthews on this SFU 2nd intermission panel I am literally sick to my stomach
Glad I missed it but then again the SFUers will be cramming this kind of shit until he gets trade to the Coyotes. I find it utterly hilarious how these wads droopingly spew about speed and skill! and speed and skill! and speed and skill! How long has the game been played? Is speed a new concept? sportsnet is a hive of leaf fuck(s).
DeleteHey, snet, Mike Sullivan has as many Cups as blabs.
ReplyDeleteHow cute, huge-son calls Ryan ORielly Morgan Rielly, doesn't catch his own mistake and then reads a script about austin. Need more proof this is a tranna cup?
ReplyDeleteHow about a little break from the goings on in the gta where hockey's elite have gathered to do... something.
ReplyDeleteLocal CBC news tonight, a reporter was down at the cruise ship terminal today asking local vendors and tourist employees what some of the more unique questions from passengers have been asked. I'm assuming some of these folks have a)never been near the ocean and b)never been to Canada. Here goes:
1) Where is the switch that makes Reversing Falls run backwards?
2) When will the fog lift and where is the snow?
3) When do they release the whales so we can watch them?
and here is the best one:
4) At what age does a deer become a moose? "............................."
I shit you not.
I can't answer a single one of those!
DeleteNobody could.
DeleteAmericans?
DeleteYes.
Delete1) LSD
Delete2)Wed
3)see the one eyed spitting whale
4)I see you believe in evolution

ReplyDeleteI am totally pumped for this season. I love the trade, I love CHe and am getting a chubby for eMTy. I am a Habs fan.
ReplyDeleteBradgelina comes apart. She does nothing for me and I love him.
ReplyDeleteNow that Torts in unemployed Hillary has hired him.
ReplyDeleteThere was a band playing in my head and I felt like getting high
ReplyDeleteOverall, the Leafs are spending a pile of money on players who won’t play for them. Including Robidas’s $3-million deal, Lupul, Nathan Horton, Jared Cowen’s disputed contract, Tim Gleason’s buyout and the retained salary from Phil Kessel’s deal, they could be spending up to $19.2-million on thin air next season, almost exclusively on cleaning up mistakes left by previous management teams.
ReplyDeleteAre the Habs still paying for the Mexican't, Kakaberle, Pappysmear and Empty?
