It's rather ironic that a team almost devoid of skill (except maybe gCHuk amd CHe) traded away one of the most skilled players I've seen on this team in 20 years or more. I don't care if he was a distraction, this trade is going to come back to haunt them for years. If he (you know who) had to be dealt away, they should have gotten back the elite center they've needed for decades instead of an aging hardrock D who's biggest skill is a booming shot from the point. We've seen that movie before with the aforementioned You Know Who and big #44. It becomes too easy to defend and a lot of the times they just miss from 60 feet away.
Interesting read over at the snet cesspool that the Habs had a 50/50 shot at Matthews with the lucky leaf winning the prize. Matthews would really have changed the dynamic of this sad sack outfit in Montreal. I usually watch a Habs/leaf clash but I'm ambivalent about it now. Maybe I'll watch just to listen to mclame and the rest of the leaf fanboy hacks and their usual bullshit. And of course moe ripping them a new hole.
Even while the team's disastrous last season, (you know who) was the top point getter up till he got 'assed' by (Y) and missed the last 14 games of the season. He was the player who drove the offense. He's only 7pts behind his replacement in 17 less games.
PFK is sadly gone...nothing we can do. Bergevin is done for. No one will trade him anything of value unless he throws in TFS ..which I wouldn't put past him...the cbc is streaming the game tonight so I am stuck with the leafluvfest...but I might just turn the volume off.
And it's more irony that after I typed that rant above I go over to HI/O and they are still talking about You Know Who. Look, I've moved on from that deal but it just seemed weird that a team that can't score in a brothel gets rid of one of the only guys who had a chance.
For the life of me I can't figure out why this particular bunch struggles so mightily to score a goal. Remember they went trough the exact same scenario this time last year, January and February were particularly horrid, then in late March when they knew it was over, they suddenly start scoring in droves. I remember watching the 1-0 loss to Edmonton, sitting in a bar with no sound on the TV, just watching them do absolutely nothing and thinking to myself, what a bunch of talentless hacks. I'm starting to think these guys are un-coachable. They can't score goals, they're soft as Charmin, they don't hit or like to be hit and they give up prime scoring chances like Easter eggs on Sunday morning. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Price refused to re-sign with them after next year. Why would he want to? He gets no or very little offensive support. If I was him, Dallas would be my choice. With Seguin and Benn in front of him, a Cup would be within reach and he wouldn't have to be Superman every night, just merely mortal.
This will be the first game I decide to watch on the snet. They are Habs haters and cater to the stupidest and most vile fanbase in pro sports so I expect nothing but putrid commentary and biased coverage coated in their leaf splooge. These fuckers have 50 years and many generations of losing bottled up. The SFU grew up on the disgusting shills at hnic and the new crop is even more pathetic. Its in their polluted gene pool.
Holy crap! As Yogi would say: "It's deja vu all over again."
This is ugly --- Since the Canadiens win over Toronto on January 9, the Canadiens are 7-12-2: a .381 points percentage. The only team in the league with a worse record over that stretch is Colorado at 3-15-2 – .200%.
Excellent recap, agree about Adam Oates, he'd be a great mentor to some fragile young players.
I wish the Habs could find some players like those three greats. Players and people of that ilk are desperately missed by a lost Habs organization. I fear its become all about the money.
DDD auditioning for the leaf. Has made a couple excellent passes tape to tape. Is Oprah coaching the Habs now? You get a puck! You get a puck! You get a puck! N8 and gCHuk also appear to be on the giveaway committee. gCHuck gets a pass - he's had a good night otherwise.
Even when the Habs are in the doldrums and playing like shit, it feels so freakin' good when they beat the leaf just to see the long faces on the SFUckers after. Didn't take them long to discard that game and move on the Van/SJ game. Hee hee.
I hope DBMB overpays and gets Shattenkirk and Vanish as rentals. Everthing but CHevy should be on the table. I would go first round draft pick for Shattenkirk. If this happens and we dont go long, its blow it up next year and start over. One Cavet if we can get Tavers to take a hometown discount change course 180 degrees
snet didn't catch itself showing mclame and crotch with leafools getting their picture taken at the panel desk during the game. Shill much?
They (christine simpleton nepotism 101) really liked stretching it when she 'linked' CJv2 to her leaf because of Lou and Blabs. The links were actually with NJ and Team Canada, had nothing to do with their leaf. SFUcker.
CJv2 loves players like Shaw, a true dirtbag. He will play the crap out of him down the stretch, after all, he had Daniel Carcillo in Boston remember. eMTy didn't have a sweet clue.
Hopefully, we have seen the last of DDD, trade him to Vegas for a pair of Wayne Newton tickets.
BGL does not fight and does not exaggerate, take this to the bank! https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/breaking-former-nhler-says-a-major-trade-is-about-to-happen?ref=jo
CP31 for Corey Crawford and Patrick Kane. Ha ha... #fakenews.
I wouldn't be surprised to see gCHuk and a D on the move, another sideways deal like PK for BBQ. Maybe PleXXX for Marian Hossa? You've got to figure BBB is still mining for Chicago gold.
I dont see a trade that makes any sense. Giving up gCHuck in a PK for Weber like trade would be a good idea if we were one player away, but we are at least 3 away, and two of those are forwards.
Min goes big big big on Hanzel http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/coyotes-trade-centre-martin-hanzal-wild/ a first, a second, and a conditional second??????
Die leaf die! Go Habs Go!
ReplyDeleteMy fave Gilmour moment
There is no other option tonight....JUST FUCKING WIN! Go you fucking Habs go!

Sorry for another long rant, I'm on a roll.
Heh heh, shows what CJv2 thinks of the leaf throwing Davey in there...
ReplyDeleteSteak and green chili salsa naCHos (dollops of sour cream). Lagunitas IPA.

Amazing they are still in first
Delete- mclame, ‘tradition and rivalry’, sure
ReplyDelete- friedman thinks DDD gets traded
- Adam Oates is a class act on that panel, surrounded by puds, welcomes CJv2
- kypreosuck has his say, yawn
- Adam Oates is a class act on that panel, surrounded by puds, smart comments about the Habs O (he’d be a great coach for a team struggling to score)
- hugeson with CJv2, Qs about gCHuk, CJv2 says you can’t enough centres
- CJv2 says team needs confidence
- mclame starts sucking his leaf
- Adam Oates is a class act on that panel, surrounded by puds, smart comments about the Habs D
- christine simpleton (don’t like her, nepotism) at the leaf bench
- kypreosuck has his say about playoff hockey, yawn
- Adam Oates is a class act on that panel, surrounded by puds, talks shooting/scoring, breaks it down perfectly
- thick as an oak is still thick
- well, they found a bit of integrity and interviewed (a few weeks back) Big Bird, Serge and Coco Lemaire …
- all three look great, Coco tanned
- Serge drops a great line why they played so well together ’no salary cap’
- Coco says winning in the past is what drove him
- expectation is to win the Cup says Larry, are you listening DGMB
- get Bird Bird behind the benCH, SVP!
- Serge admired Le Gros Bill for being a team player (Jean’s words)
- 22 Cups amongst them, great guys then and to this day, Habs bring class
Excellent recap, agree about Adam Oates, he'd be a great mentor to some fragile young players.

BBQ is one of them, Vodkov was but is nearing the end. 'bout it until we see Serge and Jewels.
DeleteGo You Fucking Habs Go
ReplyDeleteEverthing is on Bergy now, no place to hide.

ReplyDelete29 inbetween tv talk. Expanse wow, Taboo woo, Polyanna Macintosh Whew!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get caught up with the Expanse soon, because this past week's episode was one of the best hours of sci-fi tv ever
DeleteI will watch Taboo soon. Heard it is really something
Deleteoh yeah, still hard to beat the stealth ship battle.
DeleteTaboo is hypnotic
Deleteso is Pollyana Macintosh
DeleteTaboo is great. 8th episode tonight.
DeleteHang on boys!
ReplyDeleteTwo goals!! I was going to say it's an early Easter miracle but it's not even Lent yet, well starting this Wednesday so there is that...

ReplyDeleteThe fever of revolution is burning less bright in Che tonite
ReplyDeleteSSR having a great game

ReplyDeleteIs Oprah coaching the Habs now? You get a puck! You get a puck! You get a puck!
N8 and gCHuk also appear to be on the giveaway committee. gCHuck gets a pass - he's had a good night otherwise.
Just fucking win.
Still a lot of passengers on the Habs 's ship...only started listening to hughson in the 3rd...hes pretty bad
ReplyDeleteGreat hustle by SSR. And CHe looks pretty good too
ReplyDeletehighs stick? refs high
ReplyDeleteHoping for the loser point.
ReplyDeleteSee what we are reduced to?
SSR has played a good game tonight. He's a Julien type of player, a dirtbag.
ReplyDeleteHA
Deletejust checked Taboo already up on the internets
ReplyDeletepull the goalie FFS

ReplyDeleteHope the league nabs Komoarov for that dive.
ReplyDelete14 wins a row. Eat shit SFU.
ReplyDeletemoe beat me to it. Faster typer or cued up ready to go? :-)
DeleteFast typer and really fast internet.
DeleteGreat minds.
Saying that the Habs beat the leafs for the 14th consecutive time hurt hughson so much. I love it! Fuck you COTU!
ReplyDeleteNight all! Thanks Moeman!
ReplyDeleteBonsoir mon ami.
DeleteI caught up to the game in time to come here live for the gwg. Suck it SfU.
ReplyDeleteGood to see gCHHyuk score.
ReplyDeleteEven when the Habs are in the doldrums and playing like shit, it feels so freakin' good when they beat the leaf just to see the long faces on the SFUckers after. Didn't take them long to discard that game and move on the Van/SJ game. Hee hee.
ReplyDeleteHope their team misses the playoffs, by one point.
Deletewhos the guy in the photo between sheldon and douggie fresh?
ReplyDeleteand that WAS sheldon in those pics yd! what happened? is he ok?
Vito Morgensen.
DeleteYep, it was Sheldon. SF pics for Moey.
Here's the scores for those 14 wins.

I'm really wanted to see CJv2 make that diving motion. I saw (Y) do it a few games ago but can't remember what team it was.
ReplyDelete*I* really
DeleteI wonder why they don't give Hudon a chance, he's tearing it up in St Johns
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about pvr'ing is skipping the ads and the intermissions.
ReplyDeleteTFS passes Dryden for 3rd most wins as a Hab.
ReplyDeleteRobertson tweet:
Hes a very special human being.
"When I was going through a tough time at about 21, Ken called and we had a good talk. I have a lot of respect for what he did
"Ken is the first Hab I met. I was around 8...I met him in Williams Lake. I got his autograph on a piece of paper I still have today.
said having someone like Dryden reach out when he was trying to find his game and who he was as a person a 'life changer.'
DeleteImagine what a great mentor / leader Big Bird would be for the team.
ReplyDeleteLet's make it an even 100.
ReplyDeleteAny sign of BBB hanging around dumpsters? He loves his 4th liners.
Not much feels better than a Sunday morning after a Habs win over the leaf
ReplyDeleteI hope DBMB overpays and gets Shattenkirk and Vanish as rentals. Everthing but CHevy should be on the table. I would go first round draft pick for Shattenkirk. If this happens and we dont go long, its blow it up next year and start over. One Cavet if we can get Tavers to take a hometown discount change course 180 degrees
ReplyDeleteAfter last night the body of evidence is complete. It may be a tiny body, but the conclusion is immutable. DDD has played his last game for the CH.
ReplyDeleteCouple of tidbits.
ReplyDeletesnet didn't catch itself showing mclame and crotch with leafools getting their picture taken at the panel desk during the game. Shill much?
They (christine simpleton nepotism 101) really liked stretching it when she 'linked' CJv2 to her leaf because of Lou and Blabs. The links were actually with NJ and Team Canada, had nothing to do with their leaf. SFUcker.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton
ReplyDeleteR.I.P.
DeleteRIP, one of those faces you see and say you were great in lots of stuff
DeleteR.I.P. I liked Twister, U-571 and his part in Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD.
DeleteFraility was one of the coolest movies ever
DeleteCarey Price became second goalie to win 11 cons starts vs Maple Leafs, joining Clint Benedict (1925-27)- via @EliasSports
ReplyDeleteLong live cowboys!
'During bye week, Alex Galchenyuk worked on face-offs for 90 minutes straight with Olli Jokinen in Florida.'
ReplyDeleteYet he's been tagged as lazy and no work ethic by some.
The AC crowd were relentless last night in attacking his game. MUM (Maudits Unis Malades)
DeleteEspecially that dumb fuck kypridiot.
Deletekyppeosuck should stick to his inane unfounded trade rumours.
DeleteBroons could knock the leaf back to a wildcard spot.
ReplyDeleteCJv2 loves players like Shaw, a true dirtbag. He will play the crap out of him down the stretch, after all, he had Daniel Carcillo in Boston remember. eMTy didn't have a sweet clue.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, we have seen the last of DDD, trade him to Vegas for a pair of Wayne Newton tickets.
I liked SSR's game last night. Cant say the same for many nights and I agree, we dont need a rat to win the cup.
DeleteBGL does not fight and does not exaggerate, take this to the bank!

DeleteThe Tampa Bay Lightning have traded goaltender Ben Bishop to the Los Angeles Kings
ReplyDeletethe Kings are giving up defenceman Erik Cernak, goalie Peter Budaj and draft picks for Bishop
Deletestrange trade, big 2nd round d pick from 2015, not a great skater. Unless those are first round picks its just above a bag of pucks.
DeleteMin goes big big big on Hanzel
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/coyotes-trade-centre-martin-hanzal-wild/
a first, a second, and a conditional second??????
That rules out Hanzal to Montreal, unless Minny flips him.
DeleteBergevin will probably pull something completely out of left field and the SFUckers will never see it coming.
So, BBB wasn't able to get a payback from ARI for the All Star John Scott deal? Or did they think Tinordi was enough?
ReplyDeleteMarc Ducomt says Hanzal has a lower P60 than DDD, so he wouldn't be a big offensive add.
ReplyDeleteThe first Minny sent to Arizona in the Hanzal deal is actually for BlanCHe. The real key to that deal.
ReplyDeleteWe lost Hanzel, but Gretzel is still out there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations PFK.
