I love a Sexy Sunday. Started my day by building an accessible ramp for my 16 year old dog to get in and out the back door. He's skeptical but a few trips up and down and he will be good.
KC (and my man Pat Mahomes) against moe's Steelers and the amazing James Conner. Watched a bit about him this morning, nearly had a tear in my eye. Great kid. Followed by my Pats against the Jags (no walk in the park), and end the night with the M's G-men visiting the Cowboys.
Sweet Sexy Sunday, never get tired of that BBQ pick.
The Red White game is over. Scouting report says, we suck, Koko is Finish(d) for a least a couple of years. We have zero NHL d men. Pecca is good for the fourth, Mad Max looks good in scrimage. Armira did we come up with a nic is going to be good. The Thing goes back to Jr unless we come up with a super nic.
What kind of fucking Zoo is this franchise running. TSN has a puff peice on LHN and Big Mac. Both years into their pro careers took powerskating lessons this summer.(on their own dime) WTF WTF WTF
moe's Steelers get ambushed by some QB I never heard of in Pitt.
Saint Paddy's Pats getting schooled by the Jags D just like my Giants last Sunday. Those cats are for realz.
My Giants have a slight chance to win against an overrated Cowboys team, but I say an 0-2 start is in my future.
Steve's right, the Habs are fucked, they can't even beat themselves... or did they lose to themselves. No worries, burgervan will be sniffing around everybody else's dumpsters in a week or two. LOL!!
Hey never rule Tom Terrific out too soon...but yeah can't see it and agree the Jags look to be for real. Tremendous D.
I picked up that Mahome kid (and Kelce) for my fantasy team this year. Those two plus Stefon Diggs practically won me my matchup alone.
Best thing I can say about the Habs is that at least they aren't the Sens, an even bigger dumpster fire AND they gave away their first round pick. FFS this is what we're reduced to.
I've accepted the rebuild, I just like to give bergevin a shot whenever I can, and poke fun at the laughable "team" he's assembled. But, agreed, the Sens are a bigger dumpster fire, with a worse owner. The pundits say only Ottawa and Detroit will give the Habs a run for 31st overall. All I ask is give all the young guys a chance to play but don't ruin the recent draft picks, send Koko back to Finland and Suzuki to Owen Sound. They don't need to be part of the inevitable shitshow.
Any bets that Timmins and the dumpster diver take another Finnish kid named Kakko in 2019 to go with Koko...? Ranked 3rd overall by Blob, seems to fit the pattern.
As always...A win is a win is a win is a win! Last season, if I remember correctly, they didn't win a game in pre-season until the last day of training camp...or something like that - set the tone for the season...so as good omens go... Go You Fucking Habs Go!
Tuned in from football to hockey just in time to see the Habs' first goal by Meat. That's some top shelf Kobe beef right there. Just let the kids play this year, except those that need to be no where near this team's rot this year.
Koho aka Phone Booth Hero with his first goal as a Hab on his first shot on net. Engels reports his skating is plenty fast and his instincts decidedly Finn-ish (not unlike Leko), which is awesome to see. GYFHG
Au contraire mon ami! A 3-1 win is an amazing start to the season - it is a position the Habs have not been in (regular season or pre-season) since the heady days of PK Subban. We must celebrate what ever success we can grasp...In fact, since that now infamous trade, the Habs have never known a stronger start to their pre-season...I will say nothing about the fact that they have achieved this lofty height with a lineup that DID NOT include Shea Weber, PK Subban, David Desharnais, Alex Galchenyuk or Max Pacioretty! Plan the goddamm parade boys!
I see eMpTy is back on SFU-RDS and AntiHabsChamber with Tremblay and Carbo. Who will he have to kick around now that PK is gone? Maybe they will watch Predators games so he can throw PK under the bus just to get his jollies...
So the Devils put out an AHL goon to spear a Finish and save a Norwegian whale. The NHL has to crack down on people who have no skill execpt bien big and able to throw. Our Rookies are Ming China, dont let them get broken before the public has even seen their best exhibition.
Fiver stepped up into a void created by the Buttman vison of NASCAR on ice. Its time to go Telsa.
So MadMax gets to take the rest of the pre-season off...which doesn't help anyone...but the Habs win again! Did you know that the last time the Habs were 2-1 in any competition, the Habs had ...Oh FFS I don't know and couldn't be asked to geek it up enough to look. All I know is that a win is a win is a win is a win...Now they also appear to have a challenge to face...what to do with Charlie...He's too fucking good for Laval. They don';t want to lose him cause one of TFS/Anti is gonna shit the bed at some point (or get hurt) so what do they do? Surely someone could use Anti in a trade where we could throw in Schlomo and we get another 5'9" left winger...Then Charlie becomes the back up and gets 25-30 games this season...Whaddya think? Do it bbb! - Make that trade!
Geez you're so WRONG! Don't you know, the Tranna based CP knows all. Seriuosly. How hard is it to check that simple fact before publishing an article?
Canadian Press "Losers in their first two pre-season outings, the Canadiens got a winning spark from dependable forward and his new linemate to earn a 5-2 victory against Washington."
...and I have Carlos Hyde on my fantasy football team!!
The Giants, only the second worst team in the NFL last season (after Cleveland), are in Houston this Sunday. Are the Oilers, err I mean Texans any good? Will the G-Men get their first win of the season? Probably not.
So, bergy's Midget AAA team managed to beat the Stanley Cup champs last night eh? "Small" victories are good too...
Texans are not looking great. Deshaun Jackson and Hopkins were lauded as the best tandem going into this season by many 'experts'. Hasn't clicked yet. And after JJ Watt on D, there's not a lot. You have a chance.
So Aaron Ekblood (or Ekbled) promised revenge on Domi in the future. In a fair league this would be 'kept on file' and used when punishing for his crime after said revenge on Domi. But sadly, Domi is wearing the wrong sweater to end up on the right side of that decision. At least it's a reason to watch the Florida Panthers games this season.
I did something today I haven't done since I was 16 years old. No, not masturbate, I fixed a flat tire on my bike. Heading into the city earlier this week the back tire blew out on me. I had never tangled with an 18-speed mountain bike before but I thought "how hard can it be?" So, took the back wheel off last night, got the tire off the wheel and pulled the inner tube out. Took that to the Bike repair store, got a replacement inner tube for 14 bucks and reinstalled everything myself. Took her out for a test drive and: Yeah baby! Saved myself some coin I bet!!
uh... stupid question time: 1. moeman's question remains unanswered 2. the method u described to repair ure flat. how else would u do it? that's the only way I know!
1. That inner tube was probably 13 years old. Bought the bike in 2005, pretty sure the back tire was the original, I know I put a new one on the front a few years ago. So, old age was the culprit...
2. Yes, but the statement I was making was I did it myself. The back is a little more complicated because you are dealing with the chain, sprockets and the old style brakes. A bike shop proabaly would have charged me an hour labour, 40 or 50 bucks maybe?
Just got back from watching the Sea Dogs season opener, a 5-4 OT loss to the Memorial Cup hosting Halifax Mooseheads. Pretty good game for the Saint John team carrying five 16 year olds.
I just had two tires replaced on my City Bike. I wore out the back tire replaced April 2018. (installed cost two tires $86) The cost with tax was $120.(better tires) Materials cost around $80. The labour cost for two tires is about the same as one. It is the back tire that is the beast.
While I feel I could change my own tires, its not something I want to do, hats of to the M, he has proven skills that will be handy in the Zombie Apocolypse.
Before yesterday there were only three players who where active after being put in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Lafluer, Lemiux and Howe. Today the duo of John Traves and Marnier have joined them based upon a pre season game.
Looks like LNH and Big Mac will start the year in Laval. Not good signs for our first overall picks. Joel Ward looks like a Tank Commander.
SiM here... glad to hear it. Meanwhile our Phone Booth Hero, Koho, was the most dangerous offensive force for the Habs in the first period against the Sens. I love how he gets himself in the right spot at the right time. Great instincts.
The Montreal Canadiens have signed forward Paul Byron to a four-year, $13.6 million contract extension, the team announced on Sunday. The contract runs through the 2022-23 season as Byron is entering the final season of a three-year, $3.5 million contract.
We lived through on that actually hit two blocks away some 20 years ago but this one was weird.
We got the EnviroCan alerts on TV/smartphones and they were pretty precise, off by maybe 10 minutes.
I stood on the deck (I'm in East Gatineau) and watched the clouds from NW to SE merge over the Bay, a minute from my place. No funnel was created but the speed of the clouds/wind was incredible. As the clouds combined, things grew dark and the wind was both cold (West) and hot (East). Lots of leaves and stuff, then big rain.
15Km in the Mont Bleu area, where my sister lives is where the bad stuff happened. She is literally 1 Km from the worst damage. She got power back 24hrs later.
All in all a weird experience and thoughts of those who lost a lot. I am off to donate a bag of clothes.
3-1 is always a good record. Beating the leaf regardless of who they play or don't is even better. Am I the only one concerned that TFS let in a .goal a minute into the Sens game? Smacks of last season to me...just wondering...
Nick Suzuki sent back to junior ... good move ... Kotka should be next, no need for bargainbin and jabba to gCHuk this kid, he might actually be the real deal. Finland is the perfect spot for him to grow up a bit and dominate at the WJC. The Habs can take their lumps and be the better for it.
So, what does anyone think of the historic election results down here in N.B.? We have red, blue, green and purple MLAs who all despise each other. Going to be an interesting next few weeks as Premier Gallant tries to cobble some kind of government together. I suspect I'll be voting again before Christmas. Maybe Easter...
I think the first past the post system is medieval and the sooner we have democratic elections the better. I am just glad we will not have another global warming denier province.
The Thing was not ready for the show. Its too bad he cant play in AHL, or be sent to Europe.
Koko should not stay no matter what. Let him work on skating and strength in a league that does not have Rinaldo's.
Looks like JDR will join all the others in the dustbin of first round draft picks.
I kinda like the idea of KotK sticking around...from what I have seen so far - he dopes look like a player. Big Mac on waivers is interesting but I am disappointed that none of Benn, Schlomo or Alozheimer were waivered - not like anyone would pick them up...I was sad to see Lernout waivered - lie his game...
And as for your big election uprising in NB, all I can say is...it's a start I suppose. |Don't know much about Maritime politics but minority governments can work if the people involved really want it to work. Choose the best people to run the departments regardless of which side of the house they are on and things tend to improve all round...as soon as they get "political" - you're fucked and back to the polls. Good luck with that
Great story on ETOP about Big Mac and powerskating. It illustrates my point that there is a serious mental problem with our management. Mgmt knew when they drafted him skating is an issue. Five years later he takes power skating for a month and big improvement is found. Maybe to little to late but what if he had been taking lessons for five years. The money line in our director of player development identifying what is wrong with his stride, but the Mgmt did nothing to correct it??? WTF
Please somebody do something to help The Thing and Koko who are also challenged on blades. https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/analysis/2018/9/26/17895126/michael-mccarron-off-season-skating-analysis-improvements-could-earn-him-an-nhl-spot-down-the-road
So caught the hilites at noon. Practically gave 3 goals to the leafs. TFS is in for a loooooong year. Of course leaf fans are planning the parade after that win. Meh, whatever. Hope I can get a bit more enthused for this team starting next week. Looks like Julien is hoping to ruin Koho by keeping him with the shitshow.
Schlo-mo out 6 weeks or so with a knee injury ... innovative way to get yourself a couple more months of employment. duMB's vaunted defence, LOL, a bunch of slow-footed out-of-position AHLers. Poor Carey.
Only exhibition season brother. Those kids are going to get exposed big time when it gets real. The veterans are terrible, including Petry who is better when sheltered. Weber won't be effective until February at least. We have to accept the rebuild, it's going to get ugly really quick. I'm not buying any of the hype or drinking the media koolaid.
So switching to golf...andni am always slightly torn in my allegiance during Ryder Cup season...given I have lived in the UK for about 23 years now I do lean towards the European team...they got spanked this morning...but smacked back hard this afternoon...not that Rory and the boys were putting lights out - more about the tiger less Mickleton led clan playing a bit shit...so at 5-3 going into Saturday it's gonna be interesting.. .
The only downside to this 63-track anthology spanning the breadth and depth of Tom Petty's career is its reason for existence. Marking one year since his death, the collection largely eschews the hits you already know and own (save for exemplary live versions of “Breakdown,” “I Won't Back Down,” and “Even the Losers”) and seeks to dig deeper than the refugees already rescued for collections like 1995's Playback box set. That leaves the focus on outtakes and alternative versions of the songs that cemented Petty's legacy as a clockwork-consistent career artist who just happened to have crafted a couple dozen of the most beloved hits in rock history. The unearthed “Keep a Little Soul,” from 1982, could have been a high point of Damn the Torpedoes but happened not to be, while relatively overlooked later gems like “Saving Grace” and “Down South” from 2006's Highway Companion get their chance to be seen as part of the pantheon.
History is going to record Tom Petty and Jimmy Buffet in the same stream. In a hundred years lets be realistic the Beatles will be to those people what Betoven is to us.
Every generation thinks their music is the best. My generation is correct in that thinking.
Koho starting the season... hope they don't gCHuk him under the bus. A scrawny 183 lb 18 year old won't make any difference, I don't want to see his spirit crushed.
I love a Sexy Sunday. Started my day by building an accessible ramp for my 16 year old dog to get in and out the back door. He's skeptical but a few trips up and down and he will be good.

BTW I have the Pats and Giants winning straight up and against the spread. Got Pit winning but KC covering the 5.5.
DeleteTerrible last week 8-8 straight up and tied for a league worst 5-11 against the spread so never use my picks as gospel.
I wish Levon Bell would smarten up. PIT in a tough one today. Agree about Conner.

Changed my pick to KC at the last second. Looking like a good move so far.

ReplyDeleteAlso just noticed that Fiver broke his face in a fight in that game and had surgery. Get well - this team will need your size and grit.
Good for the new Hab. Kid has a marketable smile (I know, so did PFK).
ReplyDeleteSad for Fiver as I was hoping he'dve, in Game 1) lightly tapped matthews into the boards and putting the creampuff out for a spell.
So the Devils put out an AHL goon to spear a Finish and save a Norwegian whale. The NHL has to crack down on people who have no skill execpt bien big and able to throw. Our Rookies are Ming China, dont let them get broken before the public has even seen their best exhibition.

ReplyDeleteSo caught the hilites at noon. Practically gave 3 goals to the leafs. TFS is in for a loooooong year. Of course leaf fans are planning the parade after that win. Meh, whatever. Hope I can get a bit more enthused for this team starting next week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Julien is hoping to ruin Koho by keeping him with the shitshow.
One game at a time. KidK looking great, already.
DeleteThe Wings have our draft pick
ReplyDeletehttp://www.lapresse.ca/sports/mathias-brunet/201809/27/01-5198175-des-nouvelles-de-filip-zadina.php
They have both of our draft picks . Zadina and Veleno were obvious choices. Nobody ever accused MB of being Captain Obvious.
DeleteHopefully KidKot will be better.
DeleteIts pretty clear we are trying to copy the Vegas intensity on ice.
ReplyDeleteSchlo-mo out 6 weeks or so with a knee injury ... innovative way to get yourself a couple more months of employment. duMB's vaunted defence, LOL, a bunch of slow-footed out-of-position AHLers. Poor Carey.
ReplyDeleteMeat, Jewel and Rielly (needs a nick) are looking pretty good.
DeleteOnly exhibition season brother. Those kids are going to get exposed big time when it gets real. The veterans are terrible, including Petry who is better when sheltered. Weber won't be effective until February at least. We have to accept the rebuild, it's going to get ugly really quick. I'm not buying any of the hype or drinking the media koolaid.
DeleteI'm accepting but I think the young D is promising.
DeleteSo switching to golf...andni am always slightly torn in my allegiance during Ryder Cup season...given I have lived in the UK for about 23 years now I do lean towards the European team...they got spanked this morning...but smacked back hard this afternoon...not that Rory and the boys were putting lights out - more about the tiger less Mickleton led clan playing a bit shit...so at 5-3 going into Saturday it's gonna be interesting.. .
ReplyDeleteHard to cheer for the US team. Too much arrogance.
Delete63 songs; https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/an-american-treasure-deluxe/1410131998
ReplyDeleteThe only downside to this 63-track anthology spanning the breadth and depth of Tom Petty's career is its reason for existence. Marking one year since his death, the collection largely eschews the hits you already know and own (save for exemplary live versions of “Breakdown,” “I Won't Back Down,” and “Even the Losers”) and seeks to dig deeper than the refugees already rescued for collections like 1995's Playback box set. That leaves the focus on outtakes and alternative versions of the songs that cemented Petty's legacy as a clockwork-consistent career artist who just happened to have crafted a couple dozen of the most beloved hits in rock history. The unearthed “Keep a Little Soul,” from 1982, could have been a high point of Damn the Torpedoes but happened not to be, while relatively overlooked later gems like “Saving Grace” and “Down South” from 2006's Highway Companion get their chance to be seen as part of the pantheon.
History is going to record Tom Petty and Jimmy Buffet in the same stream. In a hundred years lets be realistic the Beatles will be to those people what Betoven is to us.
DeleteEvery generation thinks their music is the best. My generation is correct in that thinking.
Hey! I have Damn the Torpedos on vinyl! A couple of later LPs as well, which ones escape me at the moment, Full Moon Fever for sure.
DeleteRock and Roll music from 1968 to 1979 is the greatest music ever produced. Those guys were geniuses ... with a little help from some substances...
I'll add the Punk/New Wave 80s to theM's mix. Also, reggae.
Deletegrunge especially Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and Janes Addiction formed in 1985 needs a mention
DeleteI do not want to be capitian obvious but we are facing a nic Apocalypse/
ReplyDeleteKoho starting the season... hope they don't gCHuk him under the bus. A scrawny 183 lb 18 year old won't make any difference, I don't want to see his spirit crushed.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen so much hype for an 18 year old hab ever. Maybe he is something special.
