I say do nuthin with rentals.(okay Simmons or Stone for a second) If we can get a rental we want where an 8 year deal makes sense I am okay. But with the little harpoon target from the Rags going for two seconds or two conditional firsts the price tag is still high.
I would love to see us make one of those cap space deals like the one that brought Army. Rangor Lothbrook and Hubie are in the wind, let them blow our way.
I just installed another fantastic peice of tech kit. Its an avantree USB bluetooth dongle. Now I can wireless headphone my desktop. Sure to take years off my acoustic acuity, but my wife is happy. I have a choice between a 55 inch tv and a 27 inch monitor. I prefer the monitor. Much easier to comment:)
I've got no dog in this hunt ... but I'm enjoying this curling match between Ontario and Alberta. Rachel Homan is not hard to look at either. Bonus, I broke out the 18 year old scotch ... man, talk about smooth.
Hard to believe, Homan blows two straightforward draws to lose the championship. I feel bad for her but I felt Chelsea Carey was the underdog and am happy for her. Here Rachel, have a drink of this scotch ... you'll feel better. I feel pretty good... heh heh heh.
The old Homan would have thrown a hit on that last rock. The kinder, gentler and pregnanter Homan not so much. For the best - she would be 6 months along and her lead 5 months along by the time the Worlds happen in Denmark.
Be interesting to see if MB unloads Hudon for a middle round pick. Other than that, I can't see any moves that make sense. Unless it's Andy Greene from NJ to solidify the left side of the D. His name hasn't been out there at all so I don't know if it's an option.
Where will m-f end up? Winnipeg? Columbus? Nashville? Boston? Calgary? Ottawa? Other?
Always an over-hyped day, most of the deals happen beforehand. TSN needs to fill dead air all day, don’t envy than. Hey, they could always get McGuire to give a full on history of every AHL’er past and present.....oh wait he already does that on a daily basis.
Okay then, off to yoga and me thinks some retail therapy after that.
CHip gets the call to come back up...Methinks Hudon is going to be packaged along with a draft pick - maybe a 4th and Anti - to Philly for a Simmonds and a 2nd. So I totally made that shit up - not CHip getting a the call but the rest of it - this is how the guys on TSN do it - someone should be paying me!
Unlike the vile leaf cesspool snet dirtbags, I think tsn (although part of the SFU) actually respect the Habs a tiny bit. Pierre Lebrun does anyway. The new tandem doing Habs regional games of Dan Robertson and Dave Poulin are actually quite good, despite Poulin being a former broon and phucktard. I find he and Mike Johnson are good analysts unlike the hateful Gary Galley and his ilk. I'm still a bit bitter about Saturday.
I just noticed we have a game tonight. Bad enough it's a Monday game, but it's against NJ. Might check in mid-way to see how it's going, but yawn...maybe not.
... and its even more pathetic, because they suggested they'd talk the Habs 5 years out with 2 tranna scribes and Farber, who said almost nothing. They barely talked about them, except that TFS would be old(er). Nothing else and they spent the segment talking VAN and EDM.
You mean Marc? Too bad the talking heads from the SFU weren't clever enough to come up with this.
I go home for lunch and tuned in briefly to TSN to find them on a fake putting green. James Dufus says to Jeff Oniell as he is putting to "analyze the Jordan Weal trade." Oneill says "I don't care about that trade." (then sunk his putt). Fair statement, hard for anybody to care, but especially a self identified leaf fan like "O-dog".
So I switched to the other guys just as Marek was throwing it to the Bell Centre to discuss the Habs with "Nikki Reyes and (insert long pause and squint) Eric Engels?" Nikki isn't hard to look at so that was OK. I thought she was at NESN in Bwaston. Anyway I think Engles said maybe one more minor tweak for MB. Maybe at defence. I can't recall.
Back in the studio, the putrid bunch are stating that "Montreal was in hard on Duchene" and "were interested in Hayes". I think they're all full of shit. Sorry, I KNOW they're all full of shit.
Hey moeman, thanks for reminding me of how great Rough Trade was. Tunesmiths like them are right in my wealhouse. Great 80s snap on that snare, dude!
And when High School Confidential was on the radio with the line: "make me cream my jeans when she come my way" my 12-year old mind was permanently blown.
HSC has been in heavy rotation lately on the local 80's/90's station. They seem to pick a song or artist and run with it for a few months to make the CanCon target easy to hit. For about 6 months it was all Alannis Morisette all the time.
So House was a 100 pt+ player for 3 seasons in junior and a point a game guy in the AHL. This often does not translate to the big league which seems to be the case. Or maybe he just needs the right scenario to get his mojo on track.
Maybe someday Montreal will be in a position to "power up" at the deadline like Nashville or Winnipeg. I doubt the dumpster diver will be in charge by then, he'd be lost anyway trying to pull it off.
Poor Ottawa fans, what a mess over there. Last place and no chance at Hughes or Kakko. Yikes.
So tsn has yet another hack show hosted by gino ragu (punchable face) and lo and behold ex-leaf cocacolacolalobianco on the panel to discuss, wait for it, leaf.
I can't wait to see the br00nz beat the wretched, putrid leaf in the playoffs again. Maybe we will get to see johnny T. sitting on his dad's knee again, this time crying. The vile snet fucks were yipping last Saturday that they would love to see a Habs/leaf playoff meeting 'cause "the rivalry" no it's because they know their wittle weef can't beat the bruins. Arrogant fucks.
Admittedly Domini made them flinch but violin playing, winks, kisses and I can't hear you's from game lucky puds, including their 'classy' pajama boy? Please and fuck off.
Did you guys ever think we would be rooting for Boston in the playoffs? That my friends is just how repulsive the leaf brand and their mediots have become. Never thought I would see that day but here we are. Jesus.
It ain't easy but anything to keep the leaf, their fans and their biased media from another playoff round and God forbid a Finals/etc. is good. A 52 year run has been joyful and here's to another 52, or more, yeah, more.
Like my good bro theM., I'm still not 100% over Saturday's game. Sure, the Habs shit the bed after going up 3-0 (and 2 empty net goals) but that game left a really bad taste. The leaf, leafools and the SFU have always been arrogant and ignorant fucks. They will do anything to crank that up. They've cranked me up.
Unless like last Saturday, no snet for me, ever. Not on tv, not online, nothing (and that includdes cbc properties, which we fucking pay for).
So, tsn, with like 2 dozen 'panelists' today, what a fucking overweight shit show. Literally. The biggest fat fuck ends up being, wait for it, jeff o'neill. A true fucking pud. An obese leaf lover first and foremost. He just had to take some shots at the Habs. Why? Because he's SFU. Zero fucking integrity. Zero fucking skill or intelligence as a sports broadcaster. A true waste of skin. Also, there's a reason that loudmouths like button and mcsplooge don't have real NHL jobs.
I thought we did incredibly well today, my only hicup is that Pooh Bear might pull a Vesey, that shit needs to be stamped out, you take a college guy picked in the first round, your first rounder goes to that team.
So, apparently the boys lost to an AHL team last night? OK then, I've said all along I'm ambivalent to making the playoffs. I'm sure it would be fun for a week or so (or maybe nerve wracking). If, they fall out of the race, let's hope the lottery gods favour mb and TT once again and the Habs get a shot at drafting Kappo Kakko. Who wouldn't love to have a player with a name like that? NTTIAWTH, I'm just trying to come up with a fun nickname ... KooKoo? KoKo? Yeah, KoKo and KoHo on the same line.
I say get Simmonds from Philly
ReplyDeleteI say do nuthin with rentals.(okay Simmons or Stone for a second) If we can get a rental we want where an 8 year deal makes sense I am okay. But with the little harpoon target from the Rags going for two seconds or two conditional firsts the price tag is still high.

I guess I'm finally over it, took most of the day. Never read one word from either side, don't give a shit.
ReplyDeleteI'm now relaxing watching the Tournament of Hearts finale, lots less stressful. The hockey world can kiss my ass for a few days.
Pretty much the same here.

I've got no dog in this hunt ... but I'm enjoying this curling match between Ontario and Alberta. Rachel Homan is not hard to look at either. Bonus, I broke out the 18 year old scotch ... man, talk about smooth.
ReplyDeleteI miss curling...
DeleteIt been top of my must see list for over a year. I finally found it Dead Trigger staring Dolph Lungren.
ReplyDeleteWow, tied 6-6 after 10 ends. Did I mention this 18 year old scotch is fucking smooth?
ReplyDeleteHard to believe, Homan blows two straightforward draws to lose the championship. I feel bad for her but I felt Chelsea Carey was the underdog and am happy for her. Here Rachel, have a drink of this scotch ... you'll feel better. I feel pretty good... heh heh heh.

Good luck to the Carey foursome at the Worlds.

I predict micro fracture man ends up in the 'Peg. He wants to win and they are a true contender. And he's a homie.
DeleteI've got tsn on, I can tolerate them unlike the fucking scumbag leafool cheerleaders over at the vile snet. I hate them.
Always an over-hyped day, most of the deals happen beforehand. TSN needs to fill dead air all day, don’t envy than. Hey, they could always get McGuire to give a full on history of every AHL’er past and present.....oh wait he already does that on a daily basis.

Namaste Kate.
DeleteI remember the year that SNOT stooped so low they put Eklund on tv, even shadowing him out in the background. Bunch of SFools.

ReplyDeleteFewer restrictions on how many players you can have up with the big club.
DeleteThe funniest part of this day is the clueless tranna-based SFU making comments about the Habs, a team they collectively hate.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the vile leaf cesspool snet dirtbags, I think tsn (although part of the SFU) actually respect the Habs a tiny bit. Pierre Lebrun does anyway.

DeleteLooking like Hayes from the Rags going to the Peg instead of m-f. Or as well as?
ReplyDeleteAnd I see Z played 1/2 a game with the Stars before blocking a shot - and out 4 weeks. Ouch.
I just noticed we have a game tonight. Bad enough it's a Monday game, but it's against NJ. Might check in mid-way to see how it's going, but yawn...maybe not.
ReplyDeleteI'm out tonight. I'm going to the dojo to work out some anger issues on the heavy bag. :-)
DeleteRoberstson is great and Johnson as well, not a good as Sergio, but I am a Janes Addiction fan.
Delete... and right on cue some tsn wad literally tells Habs fans he will troll them ... piece of fucking shit.
ReplyDelete... and its even more pathetic, because they suggested they'd talk the Habs 5 years out with 2 tranna scribes and Farber, who said almost nothing. They barely talked about them, except that TFS would be old(er). Nothing else and they spent the segment talking VAN and EDM.
DeleteChaput traded for Jordan Weal.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.nhl.com/player/jordan-weal-8475738
DeleteThis trade weally has MB written all over it.
DeleteWhat did you say about bergy staying out of dumpsters?? :p
DeleteRight in bob's wealhouse...a 4th line depth move...because we are a team seriously lacking 4th line depth...ffs! Good on the dot apparently.. .

A good tune that 'all touch'.
DeleteI remember radio bleeping parts of that song, same for MTV.
Saw them twice whilst in university.
DeleteOne gig had Martha and the Muffins opening.
HSC has been in heavy rotation lately on the local 80's/90's station. They seem to pick a song or artist and run with it for a few months to make the CanCon target easy to hit. For about 6 months it was all Alannis Morisette all the time.
DeleteHeard this yesterday;
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92wCPfqyVbg
Palmer died way too young.
I saw Timbuk 3 in a very very small bar in Hawaii, they had tiny little guitars, it was awesome
DeleteSo House as a nic for Weal?
ReplyDeleteIt works.
DeleteSo House was a 100 pt+ player for 3 seasons in junior and a point a game guy in the AHL.
ReplyDeleteThis often does not translate to the big league which seems to be the case. Or maybe he just needs the right scenario to get his mojo on track.
He seems pretty happy to be a Hab.
DeleteProper thing. Nobody should be happy to play hockey in the desert.
Deletem-f now a Golden Knight.
ReplyDeleteNot to be confused with the Black Knight and his "tis but a scratch" and "it's just a flesh wound".
It will be funny to see the Golden Showers lose in the 1st round.
DeleteMB has eyes on the road ahead, and his hands upon the Weal.
ReplyDeletejust like me every day
DeleteMaybe someday Montreal will be in a position to "power up" at the deadline like Nashville or Winnipeg. I doubt the dumpster diver will be in charge by then, he'd be lost anyway trying to pull it off.
ReplyDeletePoor Ottawa fans, what a mess over there. Last place and no chance at Hughes or Kakko. Yikes.
hi/lowlight of the day, tsn panel of fucking dolts, 'leaf did nothing today', mcsplooge BUT THEY GOT MUZZIN!!!
ReplyDeletenow on the third paring
DeleteSo tsn has yet another hack show hosted by gino ragu (punchable face) and lo and behold ex-leaf cocacolacolalobianco on the panel to discuss, wait for it, leaf.
ReplyDeletelil' kyle doobass says his team is mature.
ReplyDeleteThe Habs are going to beat those fuckers before this season is over.
DeleteLast game will be a doozy.
DeletePost deadline on tsn from 16h00 - now, 100% leaf.
ReplyDeleteN8, a former 1st round pick traded for a 6th round. Too much partying derailed a promising career. Can we blame gCHuk and DSP?
ReplyDelete... and/or his old man.
Deletehe will turn it around in the PEG, hard to get party supplies on the Tundra.
DeleteLooks like the Western teams went all in today. Hope Winnipeg goes all the way, to the Finals.
ReplyDeleteThis is your game thread FHFriends.
ReplyDeletePeca's French is really really good.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the br00nz beat the wretched, putrid leaf in the playoffs again. Maybe we will get to see johnny T. sitting on his dad's knee again, this time crying.

DeleteAdmittedly Domini made them flinch but violin playing, winks, kisses and I can't hear you's from game lucky puds, including their 'classy' pajama boy? Please and fuck off.
Exactly right.
Deletetsn goes to another panel and guess what, more leaf.
ReplyDeleteDid you guys ever think we would be rooting for Boston in the playoffs? That my friends is just how repulsive the leaf brand and their mediots have become. Never thought I would see that day but here we are. Jesus.
ReplyDeleteYep. Cheered them on the last two years. Once that first round is over, they can die.
DeleteMe too although it was very disconcerting. Damn the leaf, they can burn in hell.
DeleteIt ain't easy but anything to keep the leaf, their fans and their biased media from another playoff round and God forbid a Finals/etc. is good. A 52 year run has been joyful and here's to another 52, or more, yeah, more.

Considering how little he was traded for, Simmonds, yeah hed've been a nice catCH today.
ReplyDeletesomeone on TSN690 this evening was saying he prolly wanted only to go to a Cup contender. Makes sense
DeleteGood for him.
DeleteUnless like last Saturday, no snet for me, ever. Not on tv, not online, nothing (and that includdes cbc properties, which we fucking pay for).

ReplyDeleteWhy is cocacolacolalobianco on tv? This guy is a fucking leaf dolt. Hey, I just answered my own question.

ReplyDeleteCrickey.
ReplyDeleteWhat'd I miss?
ReplyDeleteWe clearly need House, he's the weal thing.
LB Shorty! Just when I thought all hope was lost. GYFHG!!
ReplyDeleteSomebody make sure Leko studies the tape of that LB goal before next game --SiM
