Will be extremely visible on Montreal streets in April |
29 has dreams of parades on the usual route. There really isn't much else to say. Ça sent la coupe motherfuckers.

How about a drink recipe?
The ClinCHer*
2 oz. Canadien whiskey
0.5 oz. Amaretto di Saronno
2-3 drops bitters
1/2 tsp simple syrup (easy to make, just mix equal parts sugar and water and heat on stove top until sugar dissolves then let cool)
juice of 1/4 orange or 1/2 clementine
Shake all ingredients with ice for 30 seconds. Strain into CHilled martini glass. Drink. Make it again, drink again.
*inspired by a Manhattan, where the Habs will crush those Rags to dust

Well done 29!
ReplyDeleteUnlike you however, I will be pleasantly surprised at any advancement beyond round 1.
Brother moe always likes to post his daily repast, we are going to an Indian cuisine restaurant tonight (Thandi's), I don't know what I'm having yet but I'll let you know later tonight after I watch the SFU masturbate on live TV to their playoff bound leaf.
Later, bitCHes.
Have FHFun.
DeleteScheduled for tandoori chicken pizza tonight, on Naan.
First time I make raita.
Aw, mme Reno, must be springtime hockey at its best.
ReplyDeleteGYMFHG!!
I was going to post an April Fool's trade but thought better of it, afraid of bad mojo.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be watching very closely as the playoffs approach...if they are serious they will not let their foot off the panel. Sadly it looks like the leaf will make the playoffs this year... I suppose that sooner or later it was going to have to happen. I am so glad I don't live in tranna any more.
ReplyDeleteGo you fucking Habs go!
I just read a NHL breaking news post on FB, it said that Therrien had been hired to coach the Preds. Haha! Had me going for a minute, good April fools joke!
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting that the SFU will mention that the Detroit Red Wings chose the Montreal Canadiens as the(ir) last Original 6 opponent at The Joe (next Saturday).
ReplyDeleteEvening kidz!
ReplyDeleteSomehow there is no TSN Sportscentre at 6 PM, it's put me in an extra good mood
ReplyDelete@the M - I am not particularly optimistic either. The East is very very tough. But there are two times when you can allow yourself unbridled optimism - the day (or days after) when you clinch a spot and the first day of the playoffs. otherwise, well, you know me
ReplyDeleteBeen busy today making tomato sauce from scratch for my baked rotini which i sin the oven now. smells deliciously garlicky in here
ReplyDeleteI have no oranges or I'd make some ClinCHers. I may substitute some lemon juice
ReplyDeleteTandoori pizza going into the oven.
ReplyDeleteBack later with my hnit mclame bullet points (I do it for theM.)
@the M - REASONS FOR OPTIMISM! Hockey talk edition
ReplyDeletePlayoff success recipe:
1. Goalie who can steal some games, whether a stud or just some random dude who can get hot - CHeck
2. three sold D pairings, anchored by a stud who can be solid at the back, score, anchor the PP and be on the PK - CHeck
3. Ability to rotate 3 lines who can potentially score - CHeck
4. Character 4th line hard working types - CHeck, I think we have 5-6 of them they are all mix and match
5. Coach who knows what he's doing - CHeck
I admit both 2. and 3. are iffy. But still possible. Fingers crossed!
1. Dryden was the most random of random dudes, thanks broons
Delete2. SFU keep yipping BBQ is old, slow and tired (I think CJv2 has been playing him perfectly)
3. Agree and gCHuk needs to wake the fuck up
4. Yep and they are bigger, time to bang
5. Heh
Just had to look it up;
ReplyDeleteHow did Ituna get its name?
At the time that the railroaders were building the mainline of the Grand Trunk Railroad they had the task of finding names for the little towns along the way. Many of these towns were no more than seven miles apart and an attempt was made as far as possible to name the towns in alphabetical order. As such, there was Fenwood, Goodeve, Hubbard and then a name beginning with the letter "I" was needed.
Perhaps the name was just copied from a town in Oklahoma of the same name, however, it is believed that the name originally came from Rudyard Kipling's story "Puck of Pook's Hill". In this story we read about "The Wall which stretched from Segedunum on the east to Ituna on the west". The Wall is Hadrian's Wall, built by the Romans to keep back the marauding Scots. Ituna was the wide estuary of the River Forth at the end of the wall.
We have a unique name, ancient in origin, and found no where else in Canada.
I remember when "Jaro" launched iTuna on the old FHF classic!
DeleteGreat memory!
DeleteBaked rotini is delish!
ReplyDeleteHad a couple Camparis today.

Deletewtf is "Amalie" Arena?
ReplyDeleteAmalie Oil Co., the company that’s putting its name on the Amalie Arena, the facility housing the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Tampa Bay Storm, says it is the No. 1 privately held independent blender of motor oils and industrial lubricants in the United States.
DeleteThe firm, housed on a 29-acre production site at Port Tampa Bay, doesn’t disclose revenue, but various outside sources, including Joesdata.com, estimate sales between $50 million and $100 million. Amalie is a major exporter, with $36.7 million in export sales supported by the Export-Import Bank of the United States since 2007, according to the bank’s website.
Amalie Oil made in the U.S.A. Barrels of oil ready for export at Port Tampa Bay.

ReplyDeleteBudy call sighting.
ReplyDeleteNice to see him and TFS™ bro-ing it out.

Deletemay one of them score so we can use it!
DeleteLindgren needs a nick.
ReplyDelete1-0 DET
ReplyDeleteNo score in turd game
Any galling comments worth mentioning?
ReplyDeleteStill going on about N8 not getting called for a penalty earlier.
DeleteApparently ref went to warn CJv2 because N8 supposedly kneed a bolt in the head.
DeleteBut Cooper talked to the ref so maybe they'll get a call later. Fingers.crossed (his)
DeletePlayoffish first period but TAM will need to open it up.
ReplyDeleteHouse smells like a tandoor oven.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the crotch will mention Shaggy or Leaf playoffs?
ReplyDeleteWhat about CHarles or CHarlie for Lineburg, in the spirit of st louis tradition.
ReplyDeleteNeuvirth collapsed and taken off on a stretcher. Hope he's ok.
ReplyDeleteCrotch picks McJesus or Shaggy for rookie of the year

ReplyDeleteAuger says Vodkov wasn't hit in the head, he embellished, the league will look at that. The other, tampa broke his stick on Vodkov and should have been called.
ReplyDeletestill entertaining

ReplyDelete'We shall defeat them so that no-one will suffer under their capricious malevolence ever again'.
ReplyDeleteTWD quitters will miss this
HANG ON BOYS
ReplyDeleteI have MLB for free. Earlier today they played a doc called The Colorful Montreal Expos. I no longer follow baseball but I get choked up a bit everytime I take that trip down memory lane. From Blue Monday to 'the strike of 94' 2 moments in time that I will never forget. It was mentioned that if they had beat the Dodgers in 81 they might have survived the latter. I miss The Kid.
ReplyDeleteLots of great 'Spos memories.
Delete'Gregg McKegg: 2 Minutes for Illegal check to the head Alexei Emelin'
ReplyDeleteSo the league will look at that right? If it's an 'illegal'check to the head, why isn't it only 2 mins?
In addition to the arena name anyone else notices the board ads and seat banners are all reminiscent of Firefly or Aliens
ReplyDeleteThor skates like a drunk with a load in his pants but he gets the job done
ReplyDeleteping, anyone know what music was playing before the last face off?
ReplyDeleteDidn't hear it.
DeleteChe took some shrapnel to the chest
ReplyDeleteHope his ribs are ok.
DeleteThat was hilarious when Vodkov dropped his stick picked it up and used it on the puck upsidedown.
ReplyDeleteCRAP

ReplyDeleteTFS™ skated half way down the ice to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the game thread 29!
ReplyDeleteleaf win, turds lose. We'll never hear the end of it.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, what was the SFU mantra last few weeks? 'turds have a game in hand over the Habs' How'd that work for ya?
ReplyDeleteWow Canada loses first game against a team not USA at world's. I blame CotU.
ReplyDeleteHad FHFun. Thanks HF29 and moeman. Night folks.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning FHFriends!
ReplyDeleteThanks moe, for the mclame bullet points, always a pleasure to read your analysis of SFU bullshit.
TheM. and TheMme. had a great day yesterday, brunch at a little greasy spoon, ran a few errands, cleaned her van, got cleaned up and went to Thandis and had: Combination Satay (A mixture of Tandoori chicken, BBQ Chinese pork & tempura shrimp) and Pad Thai (Wok seared chicken & shrimp combined with hofun noodles in tamarind peanut sauce bringing you the ultimate in “Thai Street Food”). Amazing meal. Waled around town a bit then headed home for Irish coffees and watched The Accountant. Very good movie and I really enjoyed Ben Affleck's performance as a savant. A couple shots of Canadian Club Small Batch 12 year old whiskey and after that I was... busy...
I watched the game this morning on the pvr, an excellent played entertaining match, a goaltenders duel with a great ending. Just like last night.
Forgot, dessert was a pecan caramel cheese cake, I only had a couple small bites, I was saving some calories for drinks later. We *walKed* around town...
DeleteVery nice!
DeleteHabsFan29 made some good points above about what is needed for a Stanley Cup win, I agreed with them all but I would like to add: 6) Some bullshit luck.
ReplyDeleteIf Carey Price can reaCH the lofty plateaus that Ken Dryden did in '71 and Saint Patrick in '86 and '93, then yeah they got a shot. If they can get by the Rags and Pit, Clb and Wash beat the snot out of each other, there is an opportunity. How about a Habs/leaf semifinal? Anybody?
Maybe the Habs don't need a #1 center. All the need is somebody to feed Max and CHe. Danno seems to be filling that role. KidG's line is on fire and eventually gCHuk will get his head out of his ass. That 4th line last night, wow, loved it. HRH, Thor and Big McM were fucking beasts out there, they wore down anybody that was against them, even galling kept saying they were hard to contain. Sooner or later they are going to cash in. Those are the guys you need to survive 4 rounds. HRH has that experience, he will lead the youngsters. He's getting better every game. It can't be easy with your family 6000kms away. Anyway, that's my nickel's worth.
Easily worth a dime. Good stuff.
DeleteI will add a sixth, a jammer for Buttman's phone. Agree with all the above, if TFS plays as expected, we have enough scoring to win 2-1 games. Patches is a way better hockey player than he was last playoffs.
DeleteI endorse this math
ReplyDeleteYes.If Montreal gets 2 more points, we secure top spot with 101 points. The most Toronto or Ottawa can attain at this point is 101 (5 games remaining at 91 points). Even if the Habs get those 2 points in a SO win and lose every other game in regulation, they still finish with 101 points and a 42 ROW. If Toronto goes 5-0-0 the rest of their season all in Reg/OT, they wind up with 101 points and 42 ROW…but Montreal won the head to head matchups. Ottawa cant reach 42 ROW, so in the event of a tie there, Montreal wins that too.
Another character win by the Habs..last night told me that I am really glad they play proper overtime in the playoffs... cause regular season 3on 3 really is a joke exhibition and shit way to end a decent game...just saying but I will take the 2 points...
ReplyDeleteBlack Sails finale left the series good but not great. Low bar for the season finale of TWD.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched any of the 2nd half, I'll probably just watch the season finale. Tomorrow. Sometime.
