CHucky had the puck close to the boards with nobody deep in position. instead of skating out and trying over again with an organised attack, he decides on a low percentage play to try dumping it and hoping somebidy wins back possession.
what do u guys think? i would prefer him use his inner AK27 and do a loop b/c a crap match effort like that will create a future opportunity like this again.
further... TFS is known for reading the play. he shoulda saved that GWG
I think gCHyuk's head has been messed up by the coaches. Centre, not a centre, top line, 3rd line, 2nd line back to centre, back to wing. I think his confidence may be fragile.
Put him at centre back with Che and leave him there, they had great chemistry until he got injured and when he came back AF had a new chou-chou he wouldn't move.
I was worried when I read that (Y) was going to be playing with Dish...sadly it appears I was justifiably concerned... perhaps he should sit and watch against the turds ...
Like Steve, I must say that CJv2's post-game was impressive. Marinaro tried to get him to throw Y under the bus he wouldn't do it and tastefully put him in his place.
We got 32cms of snow here, a record for March 14, the previous record for this day was 12cms. People were stranded in their cars 9 hrs or more. Yep, Mother Nature isn`t done with us yet.
I thought they played well mostly, except for a couple of instances where a clear shot from a good angle was not taken (hello BBQ), in lieu of an attempted pass that would eventually either break up the play or result in a loss of the puck to an alert opponent.
But those damn black pads of Crawford. Like shooting the puck at a huge stinking pile of shit. I would be likely to look for a pass myself...
The eMTy virus is like super gonherrea, you cant get rid of it through normal coaching we are looking good going into the playoffs, time to rest BBQ and Vodkov and put TFS on a maintaince diet.
Chicago showed me something. First the D pinches where agressive and excellent. Watch how many times a shot misses the net and contrast who gained possesion in the end. Second recieveing passes, this is the NHL skill, through the puck somewhere and pick it up with skill, thats winning in the NHL.
I have patented a pass machine, its much like the pitching machine for baseball, or the serving machine like tenniss or the sex machine like pornhub but for hockey.
I nominate JJ D for the gullitine. All NHL players are equal, its coaching that make the differance. Thats not quite true but has a foundation of wisdom.
If I am coach we rest BBQ or Vodkov for one game each vs Ottawa, cause we are Montreal. Greatness does not come from idividuals its comes from the collective earth.
Still snow falling in Mtl. I saw three STM buses abandoned/stuck in snow at the corner of Laurier and du Parc this a.m. A good dump, but nothing will stop the parade on Sunday though.
Finished my snow clearing too. Some busses were stuck overnight but there's always an idiot cop who decides this was a good time to meet his quota and gave one driver who was stuck a $169 ticket for obstructing 'traffic'.
Seriously, the city showed total incompetence in handling the situation. On last night's late news they said they would have 1,0000 workers available to start clearing ops when the snow gets to so many cm's. People were abandoned on highways, some abandoned their cars. It's not like they all came as a surprised, the storm was predicted and they should have been prepared. Total ineptitude.
Juce total ineptiute in gov is mostly univerasl, but where they do it well societes soar and case in point Singapoer which in the Trump era is sure to be nuked for doing the citizens right. even though it means $100000 dollar civics
I hear you juce on the ineptitude of the cops. I watched a bendy bus from the second period to the end of the game being completely grounded out my front window and obstructing all but one lane of Park the whole time and not one police car showed up, nor to stop traffic from either side. Really dangerous situation and even the city snowplow couldn't get past or do much for the hapless bus driver.
Here's a real hoot. urgence Quebec whose banner reads 'emergency information at the tip of your fingers' only tweeted 2hrs ago and doesn't really tell you anything at all.
in case your confused, DDD and eMTy were both cases the budwiser horses could not pull. Goberment is just full of eMTy and we have to make change. So it starts with you citizens and dont be cynical. We took down Harpo and that a revolution.
I watched that game last night and I thought the Habs were not in the same stratosphere as the Hawks talent-wise or confidence. I don't think Chicago ever doubted they were going to win that game. Bargain Bin Bergy will never find players like Kane and Toews or Keith and Seabrooke picking in the bottom 20 of the draft or crawling around other teams dumpsters. If the Habs best players are Max and gCHuk and Weber and Vodkov there is no comparison. Crawford is at least as good as Price. Tanking is the only option.
No tanking but I'd be cool with spending over the cap. Make fuckface bettman eat it in public. Then stop all revenu transfers to fuckface bettman's weak US clubs. What will fuckface bettman do? Fine the CH? Kick them out of the league? Time for Mr. Molson to find some balls.
NO TANKING martitimer! this is the team we have, this is the team we go with. as well all know, this is the modern NHL and b/c of buttface, everybody who gets in has a chance, even if ure the laffs. tanking does shiet. and what u said about building through the draft is also shiet! patCHes, GHycky, kidG, PFK, vodkov, heck crawford werent top picks. the key is to recognise talent when u have it available to acquire or to retain. BBB has the theory correct, he just licks at executing it.
I hear you bitches but the only way you ever get a shot at a player like McDiver or Awesome is to do the full frontal face plant at least once. Even Sam Pollock couldn't get these new GMs to bite on trading their 1st round pick. Those days are over.
I like moe's idea of holding back funds or throwing mo' money (see what I did there?) at ufas or offer sheet every young stud available. Fuck this nice guy business, we all know how they finish. C'mon Geoff get ruthless!!
Molson should suggest the following; yeah we will own up and supply some revenu transfer money but for every dollar we send south an equal dollar gets added to our cap out of our own fucking pocket. No dice? Then fucking dry up in the desert.
This is when the Canadian teams (even the leaf) with the biggest fan bases need to join forces and shove Arizona up buttman's ass. I wonder how the NHL would fare without Montreal and Toronto propping them up?
Remember Vadim Shipachev? He’s is having his best year yet in the KHL and I think Bergevin has done enough wooing for Russia’s number 1 centreman to know the Habs want him, Radulov has shown that a ctalented and committed ex-KHLer can thrive in the NHL, and our large group of Russian-speaking hockey players make our dressing room an attractive place for an KHL ex-pat.
Add to that that we are a team that actually needs a frontline centreman and will likely have the cap space to pay for one next season, and that Montreal is a cosmopolitan city with a decent Russian population, and it’s tough NOT to see us being at the top of his list this summer.
And if he won’t sign, his linemate, Evengy Dadonov, is having a heck of a year for SKA as well. I’m pretty sure he wants to try the NHL as well.
They are both free agents this summer and I think we should go all-in on one or the other. Too bad we probably won’t have the cap space for both — an all-KHL line of Radulov-Shipachev-Dadonov would be dynamite.
CJ2: "(Y) you ain't looking so good. You should take a break. You have a choice - you can watch the games from the pressbox this weekend or I can tell the media you've got the flu."
(Y): "Uhh, I ain't feelin' too good."
CJ2: "I need a volunteer. Anybody else 'not feeling too good'?
CHé: [raises hand]
CJ2: "OK (Y) stay home until we're sure you're OK. CHé, we'll see you tomorrow."
I like your thinking. I would sign Che for 8 money up front and trade him to a cap sucker team if he runs down in the later years. 6 or 8 and can not put Arizonia, Vegas, NJ, CB, on his list of no trade
Been reading some articles on the Players' Tribune, came across this.
'My teammates didn’t actually know how bad my injuries were until they got on the plane and saw me. So they had gone through the whole handshake line not knowing my face was caved in. That’s the backstory for Dino Ciccarelli’s famous quote about Lemieux: “I can’t believe I shook this guy’s friggin’ hand after the game. That pisses me right off.”
Especially the Hawks. I'm torn on TB, not sure I want those birds in the playoffs, they usually give the Habs a hard time. The leaf, not so much. 14-0, eat shit SFU motherfuckers!
This one is for St. Pat's (with apologies to Shane MacGowan and the Pogues)
If Y Should Fall from Grace with Claude After being cleanly beaten If Y’s muscled off the puck And his passes fail completely
Let him sit Claude, let him sit Claude Let Y sit up with the press where the hotdogs come with fries
This Cup was always ours Was the pride of Montrealers It belongs to the Habs Not to any of Buttman’s fuckers It’s coming back here boys, coming back here boys! Dump the Buttman in the south where the hockey fans run dry
Keep GCHuck at C Let those Forum ghosts direct him If he shoots from open ice KidA or LB will deflect them Into the goal boys, into the goal boys! Win this town a twenty-fifth Cup Where the Frenchmen used to fly
If Y Should Fall from Grace with Claude After being cleanly beaten Harley’s raring to go And he passes pretty cleanly
Let him sit Claude, let him sit Claude Let Y sit up with the press where the hotdogs come with fries
You were not kidding, come on April 30, I have never read the book, sure 29 has.
For those Kodi people if you have not sifted through the Phoniex addon lately its been madeover, lots of great stuff particulary for those who care about 5.1 and up soundtracks and even some 4k content.
I got on Kodi through an Amazon stick (beats the MINIX and Apple TV by a truckload) and we cannot seem to find a way to save favourites. Is it because I am going to Exodus?
I'll drink to that.

ReplyDeleteOne goal was an absolute fluke - off Lb's arm into his mask and deflected into the net. D left him out to dry too.
That's it for me, blogger thinks I'm a robot.
ReplyDeleteGood for CJ2 refuses to throw (Y) under the bus
ReplyDeleteI was worried when I read that (Y) was going to be playing with Dish...sadly it appears I was justifiably concerned... perhaps he should sit and watch against the turds ...
ReplyDeleteY could've made himself more useful out on Hwy 10 near Magog where there was that huge pile-up. Everyone was getting getting right past him all night.

I did not go far enough, JJD head should be on a pike on St Cathariens St stopping all snow removal making the street impassable until July.
DeleteJJ D is not a great D coach. Nope nope nope. Surprised CJv2 hasn't replaced him with "his own man" yet.
DeleteYes we have needed a new D coach for a long time.
DeleteHe has great hair tho.
Go Habs

My only question is... are there enough strippers in Montreal to cover all this?
DeleteWe should ask 29.
DeleteLe Club du Montreal needs a stripper advisor, clothes optional
DeleteShip is an Enterprise so call him CHekov
Marinaro reports that CHe is asking for 8yrs and hasn't budged on that yet. I wouldn't go 8yrs.
ReplyDeleteVodkov would take 2yrs at a discount. I would do that.
CHe is nuts, BBB will not go that long. Thanks for your service and bon chance.
DeleteVodkov should be on a year to year basis.
Che and (Y) sent home with the flu.

Sign Che for 8 because with Trump there probably is only a two-year window for civilization anyway. It's a pretty good gamble.
