    1. Planet Gia, mathimatics and Issac Asimov have all come together to create Trump.
      I still maintain with ever less conviction Trump is a good thing, if you can call a forest fire a blessing.

    That’s ‘Retha Franklin
    She don’t remember
    the Queen of Soul
    It’s hard times befallen
    The sole survivors
    She thinks I’m crazy
    But I’m just growing old…

    Hey FHFriends, hockey season has begun here in the Loyalist City. I just came from the first exhibition game of the season, Saint John vs Bathurst, a freebie for all. It was enjoyable going to the game in shorts and a tee shirt then walking out of the rink into a warm summer night! Cheers!

  12. We are never making the playoffs now. We have in probably the most underrated trade of the off season
    lost Kerby for Hunter. Kerby offered truculence, Hunter offers a really different last name, and scoring potential. And he was drafted one spot before big Mike. So in essence we should have just skipped the first round of the 2013 draft. Bottom line another poor mans Kid A. So expect Kid A to be traded for another winger we dont need.

  13. Demo Man with a big move, swapping Rychel for some Numchuks. I thought Rychel might have had a shot at a spot in the lineup. BBB thought otherwise I guess.

  14. I am feeling really good about the upcomming season. The machine has learned that skating is important to playing hockey and will teach the Children well. Coach Jabba will assasinate any player who dares dump and CHase as we are building for the future now and practice makes perfect. MiniMax with feed big Max and he will score 40 goals so lets stop the nabiling nabobs of negativity.

    Carey Price tells the SFUckers network he can play better. I actually hope he does return to form, I have him in my keeper league, a resurgence by Carey would bode well for me. However, I believe as long as Molson and Demo Man are in control, the formerly relevant Canadiens will remain a clown show. It's a karma thing.

  19. The leafs are hiring children and women into prominent roles in their organization. Meanwhile the Habs remain restricted to old white Francophone men. It's sad and a fucking shame to watch this once distinguished organization reduced to rubble by an owner too proud to pull his head out of his ass to see the light and his lackey GM with his chosen recycled coaches removing the skilled players from the organization one by one because they "don't fit" into their old ways of thinking.

      Well, in Molson's defence he did allow his lackey to hire a couple of young gun coaches in Ducharme and Bouchard. That being said, they are white and francophone. Luke Richardson is a unilingual anglophone and I suspect he will be the scapegoat by the francophone SFU once the upcoming season runs its inevitable course and the Habs play a (s)tank game. As you said, nearly all the skilled players have been removed with only MaxiMax left to be purged. A team populated by 3rd and 4th line grinders and #6 and 7 defencemen (in jabba and demo man's image) won't be too successful in Gary's new speed league. #loseforhughes #firebergevin #hirebobbysmith.

    2. That's the thing...the Habs are moving in the right direction but with the wrong GM. If any of the draft picks should become an up and coming superstar , you know BBB's ego won't allow it and they will be traded like Chucky was...yeah yeah win as a team blah blah...every team needs a superstar goal scorer. Habs have no goal scorers apart from Patches...next week's golf tourney will be interesting if any media has the balls to ask bbb the question "why the fuck do you want to trade your only proven goal scorer knowing you will only get a bag of pucks and some draft pics for him?" But no one will ask that question. ..

    Saw this quote from Dubas "If you're only hiring white males, you're probably leaving a lot on the table in terms of where your organization goes and how it evolves and develops."

    Now just insert the words'recycled, Francophone' and that makes you even more disadvantaged. That's your Montreal team in a nutshell.

  22. I dont think women in combat makes any sense. There are biological differences between men and women. If wars where decided on pure psychical combat Africa would be a superpower. Push button war is a fiction
    boots on the ground with a tech protector is the winner right now and in the future.

    I would hire Barbara Underhill before Wickenhiser. Maybe she brings something about no hitting hockey to the table. Maybe she can be a mother to the winny little bitch hockey players.

    Finally made the switch from Rogers (HQ in Toronto) to BellAliant (HQ in Montreal), man, what a difference in technology and picture quality. Plus, I got rid of about 30 meters of ugly cable wire. Bell gave me a pretty good deal, Rogers countered hard to retain me but I wanted a change. I've got RDS free for the next 2 years before I threaten to cancel everything. I'm not sure how many Habs games I'll watch. It will probably depend how bad they play on any given night. That train wreck D that bargain bin "constructed" should be amusing especially when Carey gets Karlzzznered every night. Hee!

    Good on the leaf for hiring some quality people...

      I have both RDS and TVA. RDS has the regional broadcast, TVA the NHL rights, so they usually get any Saturday games. TVA also carry every playoff game so I get to watch those.

    PatCHes with the giant C at his golf tourney. In the background I can hear Grand Funk Railroad.

    Everybody, listen to me
    And return me my ship
    I'm your captain, I'm your captain
    Though I'm feeling mighty sick

    I've been lost now, days uncounted
    And it's months since I've seen home
    Can you hear me, can you hear me
    Or am I all alone

    If you return me to my home port
    I will kiss you, Mother Earth
    Take me back now, take me back now
    To the port of my birth

    Am I in my cabin dreaming
    Or are you really scheming
    To take my ship away from me?
    You'd better think about it
    I just can't live without it
    So, please don't take my ship from me, yeah, yeah, yeah

    I can feel the hand of a stranger
    And it's tightening around my throat
    Heaven help me, Heaven help me
    Take this stranger from my boat

    I'm your captain, I'm your captain
    Though I'm feeling mighty sick
    Everybody, listen to me
    And return me my ship

    3. I feel the torment and it did not have to be this way. If we had tanked one or two more years after getting gCHuck we might be Cup contenders today with Max leading the way. The fact is that PatCHes has never shown he is a playoff player.

  32. Well it's Vacation Part Deux: Staycation for St Pad. I ad great plans to 'organize shit' starting with my shed, but this fucking giant ball of fire is keeping my back yard at a cozy 35 degrees. Not even a breeze. So that will wait til week 2, supposed to cool to low 20s next week.
    Like a fool, golfing in the heat this afternoon even though I sprained my finger while limbing my tree and still recovering from a wrist injury. Hydrate and go.

    Haven't been looking at the sfu sites at all, but watching some golf and tennis so i figure they will ticker tape the BBB raping when he trades Patches for a francophone winger which will become our #2 centre behind our other francophone winger that is our #1 centre.

      I simply cannot comprehend how he has allowed this to happen. They've had some historical-worst seasons/records under MB and still gives him his full support. Yet a few threats of boycotting beer because Cunneyworth was an Anglophone made him take action. I guess that's what matters most to him. They have become the laffs - I never would have imagined that to ever happen.

      How does he remain blinded to the fact that MB is running quality players out of town and making his team a 'no=go-zone' to other players who don't even want to give them the time of day.

    As a friend, I hope Max Pacioretty’s situation is resolved soon. He has shouldered one of the toughest jobs in hockey wearing the C for the CH, taking responsibility and blame for things beyond his control. At the same time being one of the top goal scorers in the game.
