Happy Birthday 29 and great Burt tribute Moeman. I watched Deliverance again last night. A much smaller movie than I remember and kinda choppy. Still well worth watching, I squealed like a pig.
ReplyDeleteLooking at his work, The longest yard really stands out. Sort of a precursor to Shawshank Redemption. He was in 100 rifles with Raquel, will have to watch that again. On TV 50 episodes of Bonanza, Burn Notice, X files.
Best returns of the day, HF29! Something to celebrate. We must rejoice!
ReplyDeleteNOAR!
ReplyDeleteThx moeman and kidz! Still hungover from Friday. The hair of the dog last night did not work. I'll try again tonight!
ReplyDeleteHey Guys! Welcome back everyone and Happy Birthday to 29. Brian Wilde over at Global wrote a positive yet cautious article on this year's edition of the Habs. They are definitely in rebuild mode, but I'm not convinced they've found a number 1 center yet. Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteGO GIANTS!!
Hair of the dog is a art not a science. I expect I could make millions as an advisory, is there a website for that? As an experienced over indulger the hair of the dog is the only sensible solution. Caution it may go on for days if you dont get the dosage right.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside GOOGLE or the giant talking head is evaluating every comment and alwoy it to proceed
I have learned well how to get published and will sell this to everyone
I have a movie blog as well. I cant make a post becsue I dont review sewage. It like pop music came to the movies the same sound, lyics and sript and you must buy because there is nothing elese new in the marketplace. Get off my lawn you fucking creation killers dont you have enough money already, let some new flowers grow.
ReplyDeletePatches goes to Vegas for bag and half of pucks....fuck you bbb! I wonder what the topic of conversation will be at the golf tourney today? Let's see how "transparent". Mr fucking attitude is today!
ReplyDeleteAdieu Patches! You were a loyal Hab till the end. Streaky as fuck but a Hab and our captain nonetheless. You will be missed. Thanks for all the goals you did score. You deserved a better fate but you've gone to a better place.
ReplyDeleteSo with minimal effort we have a new nick...Tartar = Steak
ReplyDeleteRaw Steak for Suskzki how about rice for rice burner
DeleteSteak is a mystery meat, in the end a pretty small bag of pucks, but interesting Gallant thought he had CHaracter. Bye Patches you were never put in a position to succeed but still scored 30 goals a year for most of your career.
So long PatCHes; you weren't perhaps built for captaincy or the playoff stardom, but you were an honest dedicated and talented Hab. All the best to you and your growing family in your new home (at least, in your home country, and with a coach you already know and played well for!)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to our second Tomas, whose name is of Turkish origin, and I thereby dub: TurCHish Delight (TD)!
ReplyDeleteBack to work after 2 weeks off, finished by a weekend of golf and drinking and I hear 'the news' on the way in this morning. So long Patches and good luck in Sin City.
ReplyDeleteI think it's actually a decent return IF David's boy turns into a decent NHL Centre. Only time will tell how the youngster is handled by the crack management team. Hopefully the personnel changes (Ducharme) helps in that category.
KidA should become KidC but dollars to donuts there are only A's worn until Weber returns and gets the C.
Well 127 emails to sift through. that's not bad for 2 weeks.
CHeers.
Davids boy we could call him Nature or Thing
Deleteor NoT.
DeleteLOL!! What a fucking joke! The Demolition Man strikes again. Tatar = Smurf. Suzuki = small and slow footed. 2nd round pick = who knows. Wow, the Habs ARE gunning for the #1 pick in 2019. The beatings will continue until attitude improves... or something like that...
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of beatings...no one answers the bell in the rookie tourney thus weekend. Evans gets flattened and no one did a thing to make them see a player who wants to belong with the big club. Same last night. No guts...
DeleteOh yeah don't forget the 8-2 beating they took across 2 games. "Only rookies..." you say...well their rookies looked a fuck of a lot better than our rookies..but what do I know?!
DeleteTurkish Delight is not tall (5'10") but played 82 games each of the past four seasons, scoring 20 goals consistently. Three years younger and under contract.
DeleteDidn't we always say PatCHes never played like a big player? It is basically a 10 goal discount, assuming a healthy PatCHes recovers his scoring. And the pick and Suzuki added in... I hate BBB but this was not a bad trade for the CH, looking past this season at least.
Vegas Golden Knights with McPhee/Gallant = 2018 Mustang Shelby Cobra.
ReplyDeleteMontreal Canadiens with Bergevin/Julien = 1974 rusty Ford Pinto.
Thanks for being a great Hab PatCHes. You deserved better and will receive a STO upon your return.
ReplyDeleteeCHoing other comments, another late night, last minute dumping of a fan favourite by dgmb.
The only upside seems to be the 1st rounder Suzuki, who has some skill and another pick for a prospect. Hopefully Steak likes Montreal.
Bergevin is like a rat in the night. It's right up there with trading Squid mid-game.
DeleteSuzuki is 5'11" but also, at 19, might still be growing. TSN bio says: "ASSETS: Plays a very heady, mature two-way game. Is a talented playmaker who is also adept at finishing off plays himself. Due to his hockey smarts, he can be used with the game on the line and in defensive situations.
ReplyDelete"FLAWS: Does not have ideal size for the National Hockey League, so he needs to add more bulk and get stronger in order to maximize output. Also, he is still a bit raw as an all-round talent and needs more consistency."
could easily be better than Giota or the Mexicant, lets hope
DeleteWhat'd I miss?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your service PatCHes!
ReplyDeleteIf dreams where lightning and thunder was desire, the bell center would have burned down a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteWe have more projects than the Montreal Roads and Bridges crew.
1. The craig rivet trade just keeps on giving
ReplyDelete2. Mountainesque BBQ deserves the CH 'C'
3. No slight to KidA and I think he'd agree (NB that I've compared KidA to The Pocket Rocket
4. Kudos to the CH for winning this trade
5. We are knowledgeable hockey fans, so if dgmb won't call it a rebuild, so what?
6. Liking Dano more and more, becoming one of the true Habs
7. Not sure if it helps gets the Habs to the playoffs but TFS™ seems ready (to have a great season)
8. PatCHes signs a 4x$7M deal in Vegas, good for him.
9. Are there more strip clubs in Vegas or Montreal?
10. HF29 is now perpetually 49.
great deal for Max. One wonders what a proper management group could have signed him for in Montreal?
DeleteI was thinking too about that Craig Rivet deal. It may never die.
I think PatCHes would given (up) a decent 'home town discount', so probably same money but longer term (?).
DeleteThat 7 mill in crash vegas is 8 mill in Montreal. A win all around. I expect Patches to have a carreer year. Steak will be flipped for picks.
ReplyDeleteOK, FHFriends I'm on board for the rebuild. But, think about this, there are going to be some long, long nights for the young rebuilding Habs. The Drouin-Domi-Gallagher led Habs going up against the Tavares-Matthews-Marner led leaf and the Bergeron-Marchand-Pasternak led br00ns 5 times each. Not to mention the powerhouse Penguins and Lightning. Going to be a long season, led by the gutless puke bergevin. I figure the TV will be turned off early during a lot of games. C'est la vie.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I remember most about 911 was the magic, burning kerosene turning steel into molten tears, black boxes destroyed but passports of terrorists indestructibly found.
ReplyDeleteWe have a BBQ, Meat, Steak, a former PFK, so somebody has to be the magic Sauce.
ReplyDeleteIts clearer and clearer our most important coach for the future teaches skating.
Well, there goes my wish to have Julien Brisebois as the Habs GM.
ReplyDeleteSo I have had some time to reflect. After devaluing the asset bbb got what he could for it and perhaps he did alright in that respect .meat is a journeyman but maybe he gets 25 goals this season...who else is gonna score goals? KidA is good for 25 or so maybe Drouin gets 20, leko 20 Dano 15-20...Habs are gonna give the shutout record they set last year run...and with no D to help him out TFS is doomed...the problem remains bbb...he lies and is as transparent as the St. Lawrence
ReplyDeleteembrace the Tank, I would send TFS to Hawaii for the season to scout for Samoans.
DeleteEureka! I have found the solution. The best skaters like McDavid all have one characteristic in common. They do liner crossovers every four to five strides. Your standard Montreal Canadiens prospect does it every 14 times. Like I always say math is hard.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.tsn.ca/crossovers-set-crosby-mcdavid-apart-from-peers-1.602173
Opening day of training camp should feel like Christmas morning...or Hanukkah...or Black Friday...or your first time at a strip club. Depends on what you define as awesome.
ReplyDeleteInstead it's like watching some close friends or relatives, NO, your parents, going through a messy divorce...but there's still the slightest of chances of reconciliation. Maybe, just maybe, things will improve. Maybe Dad will realize that "Jesus, I've been a real fucking asshole these past couple of years! I've made a lot of mistakes and need to change my wicked ways." (Dad would be the GM/MB collective). And Mom (the team) will say "Maybe we can work things out even though you gambled away my diamond ring, traded my Mustang for a Fiat, were a prick to your first son and now he's god knows where wandering the desert, and cashed in our safe and sure bonds to gamble them on the Nikkei futures! Despite all this there is a chance that maybe, just maybe if we work hard enough together and you can pull your head out of your ass long enough to see what this family really needs, we can have a long and successful marriage. Maybe."
See it shouldn't be this complex. It should simply be Yay it's Christmas morning! The end.
Fuck you GM/MB.
So in fairness to GM/MB, when asked point blank whether he asked for a trade last season, Max didn't say "no I did not ask to be traded". Good interview on Tim and Sid though. Class act all the way.
ReplyDeleteOne can argue we got more for Patches than the Sens got for Karlson. It all depends upon The Thing. Ottawa got one player that will play for Ottawa and one probalble 17th draft pick, the first and second pick who knows but they will be late picks.
ReplyDeleteKarlson has to be ecstatic. San Jose has moved to cup contenders.
One thing can be said for sure ... not one of those stiffs the 'turds got will ever be as good as Erik Karlsson. Ever.
DeleteGood point M and it adds to my argument. The Thing has a CHance to be better than Patches.
DeleteMelnyk and Doiron are going to give Molson and Numbnuts a run for their money as dumbest duo in the NHL.
ReplyDeleteMelnyk is in a world of his own misfortune. Sorry not comparable at all. The leaf 67 to 2014 are where we are now.
DeleteMontreal are going to have the smallest group of forwards in the league. Other than Deslauriers and Dollar not one of them weighs 200 lbs. I hear they are looking at bringing Oleg Petrov back...
ReplyDeletelove the smurf wave, why have we never tried surfing before. The idea of balance seems to espace this team, lets draft Belurusians exclusivly, no Danes, maybe Slovakian. We only need big guys
Deletenow lets go small. CHarater forget if they cant skate. So now we are in the CHaracter guys with attiutute who cant skate.
what? somebody mention me?
DeleteDrouin, Domi, Gallagher, wow, what a 1st line, wait, there is no 1st line, probably not even a 2nd line. Actually, they are going to look like a pretty good Midget AAA team. SWIDT?? Hee Hee...
ReplyDeleteI hear the coaches are handing out orange slices and juice boxes to the best performers each day in training camp.
DeleteHeHe...+67 St. Pad!
DeleteGood news from camp day 1.
ReplyDeleteTatar (since we already have Meat, and maybe this is an east coast fish 'n chips bias, but I vote for Sauce as his Nick)...anyway he says he wants to have his best season. So that's good that he's not striving for something like his 3rd best season.
Alzzzzzner wants to play better (shouldn't be hard), faster (shouldn't be hard) and be a better penalty killer (shan't be hard). Good career goals.
Sir Wilfred (i forget his real nick) says...oh yeah Fiver, says he worked hard this summer and will compete for a job. Excellent. A giant among toddlers.
That reminds me. Do you know why The Friendly Giant was cancelled?
Because Rusty was always half in the bag.
why did Micheal Jackson always go to K Mart?
DeleteBoys underwear where always half off.
Here's the thing I really don't like...FUCKING HOCKEY SEASON HAS STARTED AND I COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT! BBB has completely killed it for me right now. Every word out of his mouth is a lie and he has Geoff Molson singing his song. This fucking team - They got no goal scorers, no size, almost no D and a pretty decent goalie...oh - and Carey Price...Lots of checkers and a bit of speed will only get you to about 8 minutes of the second period before the inevitable powerplay goal settles it for the night. That will be the story of the season. They will come out strong and fast for 10 mins, then chase the game for 20 then tire, get sent to the box, have goal scored against - Bob's your uncle... So unless someone can show me the money - I am not holding out much hope and just praying something changes..
ReplyDeleteWould have loved a 27 year old Joel Ward on the Habs. A 37 year old Joel Ward, not so much. Unless he's a tank commander.
ReplyDeleteYou just beat me to it Pad...WTF? Is that the height of what bbb can scrape out of the PTO barrel this year? Or does he not know that the Habs have no goal scores and no defence?
DeleteAs per usual ... dumpster diving...
DeleteThe Habs have already been down this road before --- the Mexican't, Giant and Squid. More of the same this season, waterbugs galore. K3X, I hear you, I have zero enthusiasm because bargainbin and Molson have beat it out of me. No expectations, this is year 1 of the new 5 year rebuild. Even Price admitted they have been written off, thus no one expects them to do anything. Everyone should be loose and they lose a lot of games 6-4. Or 6-0. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteDont hate me for putting money in the Dumpster. Outlet mall had Adidas Druid shirts on sale for $20 with tax. Usually thats what I pay for a traded player, OMG Druid is going to be traded.
ReplyDeleteLaff land follies, Shaggy did not get a C or and A. Guess he will be going to Arizonian soon. I say make an offer of everybody over 25 for Nylander. I bet BBQ alone, or Dish and SSR, LB would do it.
God Bless Mad Max Berier, he is doing the lords work, pity he needs help.
