May all FHFers and their families have a safe and happy New Years Eve however you celebrate (or don't celebrate). Might have to watch the game against the Ruskies tonight so see Suzuki (Nature? NoT?) and Romanov (Czar? Nick2? Rasputin?) do their things. Also have our annual Lord of the Rings marathon on the go. Already through the first 2, just the extended version of #3 to go. Non committal about whether to go into the Hobbit movies. But I do know we are expecting very crappy weather tomorrow so my day will include CHillin' one way or another.
Off to do some errands. Same lousy weather coming here tonight too.
I was to take my neighbours to the airport yesterday evening for their 3 month stay in the DR. Neighbour slipped on the ice yesterday, ambulanced and still in hospital. No concussion but cracked rib and maybe a small lung puncture.
I gotta Say New Years has not been great since they brought in the drunk driving laws. Of which I am opposed in principle but not in effect. The point zero 8 is way to low, set it higher and you have a good law. Lord of the Rings, that is a great family tradition and it would make JR happy.
For 2018 I have only one regret and its the LFN could not fufill his potential. For me its the same every year.
Happy New Year guys and gals of FHF ...may 2019 bring you all riches beyond your wild dreams...or at least some happiness at some point...might tune in later but probably not as Mrs. K3X and I have the house to ourselves tonight. Happy New Year and Go You Fucking Habs Go! JFW!
im not sure i get the whole picture in regards to that dallas story. the ceo said some mean things publicly. he obviously did it to light a fire under those guys. its clearly a tactic. they did this lots during the glory yrs when stalin was in charge. so what? please can u guys educate me?
Dano the goal-scoring dynamo with the two markers to take them to OT and Dish with the game-winner! Take that, Isles! Not giving up that last playoff spot this year at least. Happy New Year FHFers!! --SiM
i was looking for the highlites and came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4OAndzPblE
makes me sad how its only been a year and all these guys are already gone. sCHErbak, noah, auto, DLR, CHud (soon to be i bet), frose, CHarlie, alzheimer, patCHes, CHucky...
Caught the hilites. Nice team win with Dish beating that shithead Seguin to the puck for the win. I think that was the word the ceo used. Might have been something worse.
Regarding the juniors I cannot remember the last time there were so many potential game changing Habs prospects. In 2 years Suzuki, Poehling and Romanov could be important cogs on this team, Haven't seen enough of the others to make a judgement call. And maybe we shoukd draft that Russian goalie. Man he was lights out and we'll need a filler when tfs takes his bride home to Seattle.
One of the Habs reporters on Twitter (Wilde or McCagg maybe) said they already have Price's replacement, American goalie Cayden Primeau. He plays for a small northeastern university, not unlike Ken Dryden did. He's the son of former Red Wing and Philthy Phucker Keith Primeau. Decent hockey DNA there.
Flippin through Prime Video (i apparently have that) and see thy have an original series called The Romanoffs. Hoping to learn more about our boy here. Mind you I've also noted they have a movie called Zombeavers. Tagline is You'll be dammed! Someday I might actually try to make it through that one it sounds so bad.
I kinda like the outdoor games, especially if/when they use classic venues. Fun for the fans.
Weird that as a cornerstone franchise the Habs get shunted and its always the same teams.
Also, NBC does a good show. Apart from mcsplooge and his inane comments, a solid broadcast.
Hilarious that as the rights owners the SFU at sn can't produce this game on their own and only have some pinhead torontonian flicking a switch to play Canadian commercials during the go to breaks.
I just caught that Nyrop piece. When the Habs won those 4 in a row in the late 70's, Bowman basically used Nyrop and the Big 3. The TRUE Big 3, not some lameass pretend 3 that the SFU comes up with for their leafool fans.
Further proof why they are the SFU. No intelligent, respectful and true hockey fan would dare to equate the Habs Big 3 to a bunch of wannabes that have won squat. Typical torontonian arrogance and ignorance.
I haven't watched a WJC game yet but I think I'll watch the Canada - Finland game tomorrow and check out Brook, Suzuki and Ylonen for the Finns. tsn always puts the Americans on last making it impossible for me to see a game. I may have to record the next game they play to see Poehling and Primeau.
Steelers have two of the best players (at their position) in Bell and Brown and will have to decide what to do with them. Sad situation.
Benny Snell Jr. is a fucking blast. Cool kid with skill and speaks with respect for the game and other players.
Off topic; I attended 3 Penn State games and it was incredibly fun. I use to visit the NSTL labs 4 times a year for equipment testing. Pittsburgh was dark and dirty then (mid-late 90s). Its now one of USA's best cities. SanFran, Seattle and Austin are also top of the list.
The Crosby effect. Nice clean cut kid from just around the corner from me (more or less) helped make Pittsburgh relevant again. And some other stuff Obama might have helped with...
For sure. And I still subscribe to the conspiracy theory about the Crosby draft. That team was in trouble. Mario was owed millions upon millions. NHL saved the team and kept many Pittsburghites employed as a result.
Did someone say conspiracy theory. Pay me 1 million in bit coin and I will tell you why Nylander has yet to score this year.
Imagine we go into the playoffs, with a healthy rested TFS, a resugrent Big Mac, a Nature, and a PouChes, meet the leaf in the first round, spear a Marnier, shake a Shaggy and get that 25th cup.
McCarron, Mike (34) - McM. Is this because Big Mac somehow? (maybe he should be plain MD) PouChes is my tribute to PatCHes for Poehling. Plus Pooch is an excellent nick name.
any of u catch the highlites from SWZ-RUS? apparently, this is how i translated the text. i havent seen the lead-up. SWZ was on a breakaway. he was tripped. delayed penalty (which became penalty shot). he kept possession and was still on breakaway. he was tripped/slashed/fouled again. no effect in nhl. international rule: another delayed penalty (which became penalty shot #2).
did any of u see the lead-up? is this interpreation correctly summarising what happened? if it is... i am estatic! i love it! ive always wondered why in the stupid nhl... if a team scores on a delayed penalty, how come the original penalty gets cancelled. THAT DOESNT MAKE A LICK OF BUTTMAN'S SENSE. to me... scoring on a delayed penalty with an extra attacker has no bearing. a penalty still must be awarded.
in football... a referee plays advantage but a YC/RC is STILL issued. i think nhl should definitely follow the iihf lead on this one.
This is quite the game between Canada and Finland. Habs prospect Nick Suzuki has been VERY prominent, authoring several scoring chances, one great defensive play to save a goal and is on what seems to be Canada's top line. I like what I see so far. Defenceman Josh Brook looks good too. Looks like Montreal has a couple good ones in the system.
Easy to coach from my lazy boy but with the game winding down to 5 or 6 minutes the boys stopped playing north south. Almost every time when exiting they were dumping to the neutral zone when there was a better options with other forwards cleanly exiting the zone. Then when the game was down to a minute or so they tried to carefully play the puck out, again to the neutral zone, where there were 6 Finns. Just ice the puck. And I've seen nothing from Comtoise that warranted him getting the penalty shot in OT. Too bad for the boys and their coach. I've really enjoyed the candidness of Tim Hunter.
When Comtois failed to score on the penalty shot, I knew Canada was doomed. The hockey gods willed it.
The one silver lining in a Canadian loss is tsn's ratings will take a beating. Looks good on them. I've said for a while they (tsn) and Hockey Canada have turned this tournament into a money gouging machine which is why it is played here every second year.

Well, Brooks' and Suzuki's Team Impossible Expectations is out. But Habs prospects Poehling, Primeau, Ylonen and Romanov all helped their teams mightily to advance to the semi-finals. Good show, Timmins! --SiM
