Every day you trade for one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Well yeah you might have CHased a couple puds around
All it ever got us was down

I said yeah yeah
[CHorus:]
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one less yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Oh don't let it kill you DGMB, don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you DGMB, don't let it get to you
It'll be your bleedin' heart, It'll be you cryin' FHFool
Don't let this go too far
Don't let it get to you

Do yourself a favour and listen to Petty's original from 1981, then listen to Vedder shred the vocals on the same song (♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ o' da day). Pure genius.
ReplyDeleteFucking awesome.

I know Traikos and let him know to calm the FHFuck down.
Great Cover Cover Moeman. I expect victory tonite.
ReplyDeleteSome players slow the game down and some are just slow. LZ moves are well deliberate. His second period moves you can see in the first period.
Dont forget, Yeti, Jumpin Jack Hab JJCH, and Chrome? Jewelson have yet to lace up.

ReplyDeleteThe Uteck Bowl 57-0 for Western at the half. Perfect way to highlite the fact that the courts should stay the hell out of sport if it isn't criminal in nature. Acadia forced to play SMU on Tuesday and clearly not ready to play only 4 days later.

DeleteSFU sanctioned? Doubt it but something for the locals to cheer about.
DeleteShedding the other teams jerseys to reveal the CH was a thing of beauty. I actually clapped.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the article by the SFU I really want them to crush the leaf more than ever.
GO HABS GO!! GO HABS GO!! GO HABS GO!! GO HABS GO!! GO HABS GO!!
SFU fans in the stands need to STFU. Started chanting as soon as the jerseys came off and before puck drop.

ReplyDeleteI sent Geoff a tweet asking if he has J Brisebois and P Roy's numbers. I expect a very prompt reply.
ReplyDeleteJust tell him he can still use the t shirt cannon even if St Pat is the President.

ReplyDeleteIf JJD has a job Monday, I will assume he is a foxhole kinda guy.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Boone has said something about an unmentionable rumor attached to TFS? A CHelios type situation developing?
ReplyDeleteSo wha'd I miss!
ReplyDeleteeeeeesh...
DeleteUnless Buttman rigs the draft, and that would never happen right? We are going to need a nic
ReplyDeleteRasmus Dahlin. Rammer is the obvious CHoice. RaDahLov. Dont worry we can also start looking at the 2019 draft as well. Its three years in the tank before the body can emerge strong and healthy.
Quote from PFK in the Gazette Nov 18....
ReplyDelete“When you think about it, I think it was two years before, we had a great team, put on a great run (in the 2014 playoffs) and I thought a lot of those pieces were still there for us to do it again. But for whatever reason, that was not just part of the plan any more."
Exactly what I brought up here a couple of weeks ago. We had the pieces, but BBB has fucked up this organization as bad or worse than Grundman, or the Houle/Tremblay fiasco.
We have SOME talent, but only 2 or 3 players show up consistently, night after night.
Gallagher and Mete and I am having trouble thinking of a 3rd off the top of my head. Maybe Weber, though his play has been questionable at best on quite a few occasions. I will put Plecanek in as a 3rd guy that gives it all every night. He has been a pleasant surprise this year,for a guy we thought was finished.
Speaking of finished, Pacioretty! Lazy as fuck most nights,and he is not what he used to be. WTF happened to Petry? He has forgotten how to play defence. Alzner has been a colossal waste of money.
I don't care to get into the absolutely useless display by the forwards. None of these guys can score. Sure, we plaster the net with shots, night after night. On pace for lowest scoring percent in history. I may have made that part up, but without looking, I would wager we are not far off
Paciorett
all true, but the biggest reason we suck is our development pipeline seems to be run like the Keystone XL. All politics, no practical. TinTin, we traded up, N8 we traded up, two blown calls. Other than TFS and gCHuck do we have one first round draft pick thats worth a fuck this century. Patches is a complementary player, but he needs players to complement.
DeleteThere is nothing in the room, there is nothing in the farm, only one CHoice. Dive Dive Dive for 3 seasons. Our core of good young players will just be hitting their prime and we should have a great crop of 20 year olds to put us into contention in the 2020 to 2023 window. Thats a five year plane that even Stalin could not refuse.
Read the PK article earlier this morning and was going to post it then thought nah. PK won the trade and the classless organisation that now exists and their push-the-organisation-narrative media don't give a shit about the kids at the hospital robbing their ray of light PK's visits brought them during his visits. If BBB thinks he has any loyalty among the fans, he should by a dog instead. The way he treated Vodkov is shameful and classless and I say BBB's ego is bigger than PK's. I guess the room is soooo much better with all that 'character', 'leadership' and guys who `hate to lose`. AS PK once said, leadership starts from the top and we all see how that worked/works.
DeletePK was traded because of a bad contract. In addition he had a ego the size of CHirchill falls and it produced a lot of energy. However in the end he was all DC and the team was
DeleteAC.
Like most of the team, I tuned out at 3-0.
ReplyDeleteDespite the white stuff outside, we are living through some dark days. Question is will it be dark weeks, months, season, seasons?
In my mind DGMB is done. He cannot be permitted to make any drastic changes. Molson needs to put the CH before the $ign and he's going to lose a lot of $s going forward. Expensive and guaranteed contracts to coaches, ex-coaches, star players and himself will be the end of DGMB.
The bigger question is who comes in to clean things up and re-lay a foundation for the future. I've/we've made mention of Roy, Brisebois, Robinson, re-Carbo and even Ray Bourque.
We live in interesting times but not the right kind of interesting.
I'd start with an
o·ver·ture
ˈōvərCHər,ˈōvərˌCHo͝or/
to Scotty Bowman as an overseer.
Confucius say in every crisis there is an opportunity 危機; This is likely a myth invented by motivational speakers but given the truth or a myth, who you gonna believe.
DeleteThe overwhelming glaring fact is that Montreal has not had a cup contending team since 1993.
We had some pinball teams that might have won if every bounce went our way, but real competive Stanley cup contenders, we are, and have been naught.
This is where the intersection of biz and sports T bones us. In today's vanilla league you need a game breaker, and absolute stud to win the cup. If you have Knights of the round table better still. The only way to get these CHampions is through the draft. You can add
better accouterments to get good housekeeping approval, but you need one Colenel Kurtz and a couple of good psychopaths to be victories against the tribes that are very competitive no matter how many 50 cal you possess.
CHampions are making shots even ten million dollar a year goalies cant stop. In this era of warfare a goalie is like an aircraft carrier, a 20 billion dollar investment that can be rendered useless by a 5 million dollar missle, you do the math.
I am not sure DGMB needs to walk the plank. He was a rookie and he made some mistakes
but he never had beef on his plate.
I'm done watching this shit show for the foreseeable future, as long as Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels are running things. Being labeled a whiny bitch has kind of turned me off from discussing this bunch anymore.
ReplyDeleteMaritmer, out............drops mike...
Yep, also one of the reasons I wasn`t going to link the PK article.
Deletebeing a whiny bitch is a hundred year habs tradition. thats why we are the only team in the league where the broadcasters actually criticize the team, name names and take no prisoners. Knuckles and Marino would last ten minutes on Toronto Radio. We booded the Rocket, Plante, Beliviau, Dryden. Unfortunately employing Dumb and Dumber is also a Habs tradition. Who thought a bowling alley mestro was going to bring us the cup? FFS I dont think Grundman was even French. This idea of it must be a French guy, Scotty Bowman.
DeleteHabs Fans are sophisticated, critical thinkers, this is what makes the FranChise special. Please keep in the Pinkman tradition being a bitCH M. Its what makes us great.
We are going to have 3 or 4 years with nothing to entertain us but snark.
Regarding the whiny bitches - that too is on MB. Making FHFers turn on each other...you just know if he's lost this room, he's lost the one that actually matters. I just can't imagine how Geoff can continue to let him make important roster decisions. But who knows? Not me.
ReplyDeleteIts cognitive dissonance. I am a expert cause thats pretty much all I blog about.
DeleteThe CHinese who are perhaps the greatest winners of all time when it comes to creating and maintain empire, have a saying, you cant critize the Emperor. I say Pussy Riot Whiny BitCHes.
Is Guy Lafluer a whiny bitch. God Bless him Empty may have been a Napoleon we could never understand.
Bottom line we may all disagree but this is a great dressing room and no one should be upset at any opinion because we are all FHF, and its a Moetardership, lets just keep on sailing as one institution that can not be abandoned because of failure. For example on another blog I still get into fierce argument about the Avro Arrow.
ReplyDeleteMaybe 50 years from now some tech tychoon will be searching the St Laurence for relics of a team called the Canadiens. They will all be playing volleyball at the Bell Center for the Stanley cup , and if it goes to overtime ping pong will decide. And its going to be the Buttman Stanley Amazon Facebook Google Cup.
DeleteHow many waves of reality can the fanbase take. PFK has 14 points paired with Y. We chose Wrong Benn over Y. They are the same player exept Y can rock you to the my parrall universe. In fact that is how we travel when desperate. Its complicated but if you are SciFi literate its an easy way out.
ReplyDeletewe are lost, like Jews in the dessert, we sold our kingdom for some magic beans, and dammit
ReplyDeletenothing grew and there is no one to go to get the kingdom back.
Fantastic read and very good points. As a Haligonian (yep, that's what they call us), I think Bobby Smith is a fantastic idea for president. And separating Molson from hockey operations is the smartest move he could make for his brand and his team.
ReplyDeleteI don't subscribe but this was a freebie.
https://recrutes.ca/grants-slant-habs-need-new-team-president/
I agree...i have head that Bobby Smith is a very smart cookie...and he couldn't do a lot worse could he?
DeleteBtw - I have subscribed to recrutes.ca since Brian Wilde joined. It is pretty cheap and as my hockey news is not in any local papers, it is pretty good. I don't bother with the stats a lot but the articles by Brian and Grant are pretty fair.
DeleteGood read. I completely forgot about how Mr. Gauthier never even opened his wallet to let the moths fly out.
DeleteFHF fantastic read and a insightful insight into why we are now like the Titanic, fall apart every time we hit the ice.
DeleteThe penny pinching at the scouting level is a torpedo. Who knew that LZ was glacial on ice.
sifting through the ice CHips its becoming more and more probable that TFS will join a long line of star players traded in their prime for a bag of pucks. Most likely RNH and we retain half the salary.
ReplyDeleteEEEwwww...do not touch that garbage!
DeleteGood news. Schlemko is making the 2 game road trip. Perhaps we should call him Neegan because he's our true saviour (Walking Dead ref for those not in the know). Make that our true sCHlaviour.
ReplyDeleteI won't believe Schlemko is an actual player until he plays...
