  2. Yeah, pickin' up right where they left off near the bottom of the barrel I imagine. But that's OK because they are playing with attitude, this year's version of No Excuses. I can't help myself but be excited to see how the new blood works out. If they only win one game this season, please make it tonight. That's not too much to ask. That said, my pool is after work and I imagine I will need to hold back the puke as I draft leafs and/or broons. Don't see any current Habs making my roster, but Patches and PK have potential. THink I'll let somebody else take the gamble on gCHuk.

  3. I'll work on updating the nics page later. We need to be sure we're in agreement for names for the new guys.

    Kotkaniemi - KOHO? Finnish hockey equipment. Just works
    Armia - Army or Army man?
    Tatar - I'm thinking since we already have Meat, rather than Steak, go with Sauce (to go with that east coast fish 'n chips)?
    Domi - So he was going to be miniMax, but now he's the only Max. Ideas? After getting suspended in the pre-season "Dummy" or "D'oh! Me?" would work, but we want something positive. All ideas will be considered.
    Matthew Peca. I know little about him, other than he's of no relation to Mike. Ideas? I always thought the name sounded like a Boston version of Pecker.
    Mike Reilly. Radar?
    Xavier Ouellet. Gotta be X or X-man.

    1. Just noticed someone post a pic of Gary Carter hugging Jim Fanning from 37 years ago today, after they clinched the first ever play-off appearance in Expos history.

      Makes me think: KidKo for Kotkaniemi. Anything but the KK they started with, cuz it's just one K away from a very very bad place.

      Delete
    2. Armia = GIFinn ?
      Domi = "D'oh! Me?" (Actually: Homer, for that, plus he and his pop are now Montreal Homers, having publicly rescinded COTU allegiance)
      Radar, Proferssor X, PeCHa,...

      Delete
    3. Tatar = Turk or Ottoman. But I like Sauce and Steak just fine

      Delete
    4. like them all, especially Radar. Pecca reminds me of Pecans, or birds peck, call him Bird?

    Habs acquire D Olofsson from Wild
    TSN.ca Staff


    The Montreal Canadiens have acquired defenceman from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for forward William Bitten.

    Replies
    1. Well, the Wild being his second NHL home, that now makes him twice Bitten; presumably once shy (it was foretold).

    2. I know I am not an NHL GM. However this guy cleared waivers, no one wanted him and we gave up a third round draft pick? Thats a Milbury move and a Garth Snow save in my book.

      2nd round pick in 2013
      80. Gustav Olofsson, D, Green Bay (USHL); 6’3″ 185 lbs
      Olofsson is a Swedish Born defender who moved to the US to play junior hockey. He has good mobility, with solid edgework, pivots and agility. He is solid defensively with excellent positioning, and solid stickwork. He also shows some offensive potential specifically in his passing and vision. He does need to work on his shot though

      Delete
    3. His nick follow him from Minni, its Goose. Interestingly Radar beat him out for last D man spot when they both played for Wild.

      Delete
    4. to be fair, I found out that by making a trade we can send Goose to the AHL. Otherwise he would have had to be on our NHL roster.

    1. A shot to be heard around the league. This year, the NHL means business when it comes to stopping the head shots and concussions. This is a biggie and it will reverberate.

  20. So this was interesting to readTom Wilson’s suspension will cost him $1,260,162.60, and his salary this season is only $1,100,000. So he’s going to play the season without getting a single paycheque this year. True he got a 5 million dollar signing bonus on July 1st, but nothing moving forward.

    Lots of leaf talk. Who are they playing again? Themselves?

  31. Does my heart good to look at the bench and see no JJD and the added DuCHarme. Best moves of the offseason by a country mile.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Had my pool tonight. Picked 11th of 12. Took Taylor Hall, then had a decision of Matthews or Marchand, plugged my nose and picked ratface. A decision I will regret if he can't keep his giant nose clean. Got Patches in the 6th round. Closest I got to taking a Hab.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Alrighty that wasn't terrible!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I was loving how they where not shooting the puck in, then reality hit. The first period round table loved Koko. Our fav former GM looks like he has had the opposite of liposuction.

    It was a CHeesy penalty but Shaggy looks like a man playing with boys out there. Aside from that goal and I hate to jinx, but TFS looked sharp.

    ReplyDelete
  35. the Maritimer8:04 PM

    Well now, the lowly sad sack Habs looked OK against the most powerful team in the Universe.

    I took Shaggy (as Steve likes to call him) with my 1st pick (8th of 11) and then took Freddy the goalie. I also took Patches, figured he's good for 30 at least in Vegas with a legit center. I really like my defence : Brent Burns,SergaCHevy, Provorov and the other Shea, Theodore.

    ReplyDelete
  36. So lots of intermission talk about the leaf and their vaunted powerplay. Nothing about the team they are playing, whoever that might be.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Three guys at the pool predicted a 5-2 leaf win (including a Habs fan). I called 4-3 OT win for our boys. I will never choose the leaf or broon to beat the Habs, no matter the odds.

  56. nice period. Koko has not made any sweet PP goals like Shaggy or JT, but his passing is sublime. Based upon 40 min he has won the Calder, the youngest player ever to win I think.

  78. I sure hope Drouin can find that next level to his game. I expect his buddy and former Halifax Moosehead teammate Nate MacKinnon to finish 2nd behind McD this year and maybe win the Hart. I'd settle for Drouin at 75% of Nate's skills and abilities. The Habs need you JD. Get that magical flow you've got going working for you soon.

    He pummels Lego repeatedly. Minimax got 3 games for one punch.

    In the news. Peter F Hamilton who IMHO is the Robert Heinlien of the 21st Century has a new book out called Salvation. Season 3 of The Man in the High Castle has dropped. Unlike Jack Ryan who for some reason my friend can not find any sources, its on the interwebs now. Fat Steve has a new book and he goes full Trump fabuslist.
