Greyish windy Saturday.
ReplyDeleteMany, many monarchs flew by this week.
Geese too.
led-f win now or become collector item
ReplyDeleteFollowing the absolute debacle of our rookie tournament, should the red team lose today we must tank.
ReplyDeleteBy my impeccable math the leaf must dump 2 million in salary to get to the cap.
Little known fact, Edwin Snowdon married his pole dancing instructor girlfriend two years ago. Maybe we should call Edger Allen Pole Dancer Snowy for short?
You can never have too many candidates for the number 7 defense spot, and why not add Julis Honka a finn former number 14th overall pick who never panned out. It is going to be real interesting to see where the Jewel fits in this year. KULAK!!!
I predict neither EAP/Snowy or Nature make the squad out of the gate. The season will start with no rookies. This will really handicap us to win the rookie of the year. We will get Rangor Lothbroke.
I predict we do make the playoffs and will defeat the leaf in the first round. Cant see beyond that.
PK Subban will retire, join the Canadian Olympic team so he can be with his sweetheart in Tokyo. Mindful that Tokyo is within the Fukusima hot zone, both will have important baby making samples in the deep freeze. I want at least 3 children.
NOAR moeman!
ReplyDeleteAccording to Engels, MB is interested in some D man from Dallas named Honka. There is a lot we could do with that. And he also says it would be player for player. Hudon or Big Mac would be likely candidates.
The late Johnny Bower once made a Christmas record called Honky the Christmas Goose. Wonder if they are related. Speaking of geese, those fuckers sure make a mess all over the golf course, crappin every where they gather. It's like walking through a minefield trying to not get gooseshit on your shoes or the wheels of your cart. They should let the hunters come in and thin out the herd...
DeleteNice new header btw... Very clean.
Crazy how many D and (now) C the Habs have to fill the limited spots.
DeleteThanks theM., trying stuff out, its a bit large but I like it and don't want to scale it down.
Red v. White game is streaming;
ReplyDeletehttps://www.rds.ca/en-direct
Warning that RDS has two of it's purest of wool announcers on.
The new header reflects an emphasis on the CH, the neat sweater pattern and the straight up gorgeous bleu, blanc, rouge.
ReplyDeleteRumours on the web about the Head of the Sen Turds. I wish I had a billon dollars to piss away betting on Red, you always bet on black.
ReplyDeleteI always laugh when someone say header. The new one is modern yet it rings true with the past. Very Nihon go.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteVery nice header indeed!
ReplyDeleteHey the M, got out for nine holes yesterday and pain free in the wrists (knock wood). A par and 3 bogies pretty decent for my first real game this year. Also totally effed up on 2 holes (we max our score at 8), so shot a 48* (probably really a 52 or 53).
The M I've made some questionable decisions with my fantasy team...but I have Pat Mahomes so still doing OK. Drafted the Pats D, then dropped them for the Dallas D before week 1. D'oh!
I do have a couple rookie receivers on my bench that I might start trusting next week in McLaurin with Wash and Hardman with KC.
My team sucks. Decent 9 after a long layoff. Mahomes is killing it tonight@
DeleteJust watched Yesterday, its a fantasy flick about a failed musician who wakes up one day and he is the only one in the world that remembers the beatles, great stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt was OK, Bohemian Rhapsody was much better. Didn't really care for Rocketman.
DeleteR.I.P. Ric Ocasek of The Cars.
ReplyDeleteThis one hits me hard, played so much of their music as a young man.
Just What I Needed was my fave
Delete--SiM
Heartbeat City was a favourite, especially the album cover featuring the Plymouth Duster 340 Wedge on it. RIP.
DeleteRIP The Cars had a very original sound. I did not mind him coming there and wasting all my time
DeleteRIP to a cool cat. Can't believe he was 75, but it makes sense. Not sure I can pick a favourite song, but "Let the Good Times Roll" would be up there.
DeleteRIP - Grew up on Cars music. Who's gonna drive us home now then?...
DeleteLove the new banner.
ReplyDeleteRIP Ric Ocasek. He was a dangerous type. Now taking his eternal Drive.
--SiM
Interestingly, Google tells me BB King would have turned 94 today. He also "Let the Good Times Roll". Just ask Lucille.
ReplyDeleteNice eye-catching header Moe! There's a pre-season game tonight, I may have a peek or two.
ReplyDeleteMerci Moey.
DeleteI heard on Q that the song is just "Good Times Roll". My bad.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the drive thru in the last pic has the best buns.
Its almost as if the SFUckers at tsn and snet could care fucking less about the 30 other teams. Its become obscene how only their leaf matters. Sick fucks.
ReplyDeleteBig Ben done for the season, maybe his career ?
ReplyDeleteEli on his last legs too. Drew Brees out for an extended period. Lots of new QBs in the league, Mahomes, Jackson in Baltimore, Mayfield in Cleveland, the list goes on...
DeleteDon't forget young Mr Brady.
DeletePFK getting thrown under the bus two times today or yesterday, DGMB backed by Superplexxe. I liked the take on 690, so how has that culture change manifested itself since the trade?
ReplyDeleteFathead Blob names his Top 20 draft picks for the 2020 Draft in Montreal. Two intriguing players with pure wool names, Lafreniere (#1) and Lapierre (#7). Maybe no playoffs lands one of those kids for Les Canadiens. No. 20 is Saint John Sea Dog defenceman Jeremie Poirier, maybe he would be the consolation prize for a first round exit. I'll keep a close eye on him this season.
ReplyDelete4-2 win. Nick Cousins first star. Cayden Primeau showed up and looked a lot like a young TFS only 'Merican. Not one NJ Devil I ever heard of playing on the other team, but in the COTU tradition: Plan the fucking parade, obviously.
ReplyDelete#plan the fucking parade
DeleteBest two hilites were Evans' goal and the Primeau save, oh and the great Bell Centre crowd reaction.
DeleteWell moe since your Steelers won't be winning with offence, looks like an upgrade on D is the way to go. Got a good one in Fitzpatrick, costly though for a 1st.
ReplyDeleteWatched the game on and off last night. From what I saw of Suzuki, he looked OK. But then again it was a small sample. Primo looked very good.
Moeman - Loving the new header! Bold, strong - just what we all need these days. GYFHG!
ReplyDeleteIf one is to believe the shit from hockey media of any ilk let alone the SFU, the Jets offered Laine a contract worth $5.5M/year. If that's the best they've got to offer isn't either offer sheeting for Laine or Connor OR working out a trade one of MB's 'must do' items before the season starts. Tell Chevy you're going to offersheet in the $8M range (which would cost a 1st,2nd,3rd) OR trade Drouin, 2nd, 3rd for Laine. I prefer Connor's overall game, but the potential of a pure goal scorer like Laine is hard to pass up considering Stephane Richer was our last 50 goal scorer (I think).
ReplyDeleteI think he'd need to move somebody to make the offersheet work, but the move is included in a trade.
I'm saying we need somebody that can score goals. Hopefully on the PP too. Otherwise I fear this team once again finishes just on the outside looking in.
Deletehe signs somewhere north of 9 mill a year or he plays in Finland
DeleteHey kidz! Feeling the hockey CHill in the air so i thought I'd CHeck in. 4-2 win, plan the parade!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous new header moe!
Prof29 !
DeleteMerci and hope to see you here more often (but as one who supports academia I can understand that young minds are there to be molded, hope you wear a CH pin on those nicely tailored-in-Montreal suits).
Gooeo political hockey friendly statement. Every time someone farts the wrong way the price of gas goes up. Depending upon who you believe over the weekend 5% of the world supply just got constipation. And we have crickets, what a manipulation.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Renous, NB. Lots of friends in and around that community. I grew up about 5 miles down (and across) the river from there. My dad worked at the former base after WW2, working in ammunition disposal. That is now the site of the Maximum Security prison..
ReplyDeleteI have never dressed in black or brown face, but if I was a little girl the costumes we bought at K mart had the make up for Pochoants enclosed. I still dont see how wanting to look like someone we idolize is racist. However as a old white man I dont want to do anything that offends someone racially.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of this whole thing is how old white men are so offended.
I am a Finn, I like Russians, I like hockey, I like fighting, I like women, to bad I am married because
ReplyDeleteI have found my perfect matCH.
https://www.rt.com/sport/469179-russian-female-hockey-player-brawl-khabib/
You want to measure my hockey IQ, okay play the tape. McSplooge say EAP/Snowy is a lock to make the team. I say no way, no way. He may play 20 or less games AHL, but he goes down town brown, without the nosing.
ReplyDeleteEAP concussed! BigMac out 6 weeks with a groin injury. Depth is a good thing --SiM
ReplyDeleteI take full responsibility sometimes I forget my power.
DeleteI have not watCHed a second of a pre season game. So my knowlege comes only from the dark net. Nature will make the team and will get 50 points.
ReplyDeleteBigMac will never catch a break! From wasting his time with the St. John's AHL affiliate under subpar coaching to this bad luck today.
ReplyDeleteExcept, for sure he'll be back under Joel Bouchard's care upon his return.
From how Suzuki played last night, he's poised to make the starting line-up now, but I really hope EAP does too, and his concussion symptoms clear fast. Huge promise in that guy.
Weise and Peca and Hudon and Thompson and Kotkaniemi and Weal all pushing for the final few spots too. Brook? Evan? I can't keep up, but I think one of them's a D.
And there's a Leskinenish guy?
its a flurry lets call him Snowy
DeleteI saw the new Brad Pitt movie, I thought it was a script made by climate change deniers. It looked beautiful, but the suspension of disbelief was not there. A Hip Hop movie, oh the humanity.
ReplyDeleteCan we play the Turnds every nitght. 4 to zip, 3 PP goals. Nature looking like polar bear. Reuben belongs on the bus. Every time he gets a shutout how about a PF shoutout. (Susan Dey. if they do a remake how about Sasha Luss. I think we are going need a nick for Jake Evans, how about BG for Big Country, there is a Linda Evans link there (Big Country Big Valley wats the diff?)
ReplyDeleteMonday we meet the 2019-2020 Stanley Cup CHampions. The Peg looks on self destruct mode, Laine is definitively in the wind, Rangor Lothbroke not so much. I might package Dish and EAP for Laine, and throw in Alzner as a bonus. The Peg need D even pegged legged ones.
the level of excitement for the upcomming season is proof we have been down way to long
ReplyDeleteHa! After the SFU tell us about Marner's 'precedent setting' $10.8M contract (or whatever it was), Brayden Point signs at $6.75M. Which would you rather have?
ReplyDeleteDufas got taken by pajamaboy, narcos, lilmitch and weewillie.
DeleteBilly has never even been in a high seas event.
DeleteGotta love sportnet, they do a whole moneyball think in which Mattews is not money, and conclude that next to Ovey he is the next one.
ReplyDeleteLIVE GAME, Editorial Statement, we look like shise, and I am going to watCH the walking dead instead.
ReplyDeleteI cannot recall being less enthused about the start of hockey season. I thought we'd be looking at a better squad with potential, but nothing's really changed. Gotta admit I'm feeling 'meh' enough about this season, I'm thinking of cutting the cable. Hockey and football are the only real reason I still have it and I can get all the football with DAZN and try streaming the Habs if I get in the mood. Late 90's/early 00's would be the last time I felt such lethargy about this team. I hope they surprise me and get my interest back by playing lights out in October.
ReplyDeleteSay it ain't so St. Pad !
DeleteI know what you mean, nothing much has changed except we are down one Andrew Shaw. Most predict they will be in a dog fight for a playoff spot, again. Le sigh.
DeleteShaggy goes wild gets charged with D&D after a 6 month investigation. I say what a crock, free Shaggy.
ReplyDeleteLock of the Rent a cop who filed the complaint.
I thought I might have a scoop, but the Sun actually beat me to it. If the laffs give Shaggy the 'C' they will have Captain Underpants. And his loyal sidekick Pyjama Boy!
ReplyDeleteIf you put everyone in a cage, lets call life prison. I wish I was a Scientoligist where life was simple, I just wait for Jesus to come out of Venus.
DeleteBy Eric Engels' account, last night in TO was another bust for Druid (who hasn't seen his wand since Puglass was AG) and most of the gang. Nature, KidKo and BloCHaid stood out. I was sure the Druid would be part of an off-season trade, but I bet his salary is tough to unload. Maybe he's down on himself.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for #10, going under the knife today for quadruple bypass surgery. All those smokes and partying in the 70s catching up with him I guess. Bonne chance, Guy --SiM
Be well Guy !
DeleteBest wishes to one of our legends. Get well soon sir.
DeleteHere's a look at the forward lines and defense pairings featured at Thursday's practice at the Bell Sports Complex.
ReplyDeleteTatar - Danault - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Domi - Suzuki
Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Weal
Byron - Thompson - Armia
Cousins - Poehling - Hudon
Mete - Weber
Chiarot - Petry
Kulak - Fleury
Reilly - Folin
The Canadiens announced that Matthew Peca, Philip Varone, Karl Alzner, Xavier Ouellet and Dale Weise will be placed on NHL waivers today at noon (12 p.m.).
So we see the roster rounding into form and I am no more enthused today. I don't know if Druid is trade-able but in a package with picks to Winnipeg for one of their young guns, even eat a bit of his salary. Would be worth it. But I'm sure big trades that could actually benefit yourself are hard to make.
Just glad to see EAP back from his concussion time-out. This is not a bad line-up. I remain +ive
DeleteWord is Guy Lafleur's heart surgery went well !
ReplyDeleteThe Flower is in the greenhouse's recovery ward. Hope you spring back to full bloom soon, Guy!
DeleteAlmost home....
ReplyDeleteWell, that was an epic trip. Greetings FHFriends!! The ol' Right Wing Maritimer and his Center (and best friend) Mrs. TheM just returned from the wilds of Alberta after a 10 day journey starting in the City of Edmonton, to Jasper, to Banff, to Canmore, to Calgary and back to Edmonton. The drive from Jasper to Canmore down Highway 93 is spectacular beyond belief. If you have never experienced the Canadian Rockies I highly recommend it. Pictures cannot do it justice, you have to see it in person. I felt so small at times.
DeleteWe met with several family members and friends from Saint John who have relocated west over the years. It was so good to see family who we haven't seen for years. We were shown lots of interesting things and places in both cities and wined and dined like royalty. It was one of the best trips of our lives. I even got a round of golf in and shot 89 playing a new course for the first time and using strange equipment. Pretty happy about that. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
I have been following the Habs happenings, all the best to my favorite Right Winger, Guy. Nature Boy looks like a lock with EAP and Cale Fleury close behind. Too bad about classy vets like CHip and Alzzzzzner but that is life in the NHL. Somebody else is always trying to steal your job.
Cheers all!!
thats a road trip
DeleteAwesome trip theM. I did the same route in Alta. and then B.C. We have an incredibly beautiful country.
DeleteNo reports of waiver pick-ups. I guess all the boys sent down yesterday are Laval Rockets today.
ReplyDeleteI am going to epic rant, but will not drop my pants, and I usally go commando so thats a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinkinging aboot Trump and the CIA spies blowing his cover, and more importantly Greta,
the Swede that might save the world. Can we just give her a Noble prize today.
When I wrote the "almost home" comment I was sitting in Pearson airport waiting for our flight home. It's been amusing watching Narcos and the SFU squirm uncomfortably about him showing his hairy arse to some woman in Arizona. Ha ha. No C for him.
ReplyDeletei think he should wear it forever and Capitian Underpants or CU for short
DeleteYes the M the Rockies are something aren't they! See any bighorns?
ReplyDeleteSo I go looking for details on Laine's contract at the sfu sites and it's buried below all the leaf,jays,raps,tennis,nascar stories. SFU indeed.
I have seen both the Alps and the Rockies, the alps are better. More wear and way better man made makeup.
DeleteI’m headed to Frankfurt on Monday, then on to Stuttgart to pick up a Porsche and then on to France to do a French Castles and wine tour. I will miss the beginning of the season but I think it’s kinda worth it! I will check in when I have Wi-Fi to see how the boys are doing.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels young lady.
DeleteVrooooom !
Thanks Moe!
Deletethe four player team with BigCock in CHarge. Lets see how farm that goes, it like working for Amazon
ReplyDeleteI think the putrid fucking leaf will have a strong regular season and fall flat (again) in the playoffs. FlacidCock will get fired and be hired as julien's assistant the following summer.
DeleteNature Boy wins rookie of the year, the first since Ken Dryden in '72.
BTW, Michael Ryder, a 30 goal scorer in his ROOKIE season in 2003, the dead puck era, when it was fucking tough to score goals was ripped off by bruin goalie (and bust) Andrew Raycroft for ROY.
Let me be first to pee on the leaf cornflakes. Ratten who is better than Billy, signs a six year at 9.25, the shanaplan pops and flops.
ReplyDeleteCHill and CHud both crossed Rivières des Prairies safely into Laval. In other words, cleared waivers. There were 24 in the bed and the little one said... --SiM
ReplyDeleteNew season game day thread coming soon !
ReplyDeleteWonder what kind of reception the Habs will get in Raleigh? Do they even fucking care about the offer sheet? What ridiculous post game celebration do they have in mind?
ReplyDeleteG Y F H G!!!!
Just win. No celly. GYFHG.
DeleteEAP will spin his poetry in Laval for now. Not for too long methinks.
ReplyDeleteKnowing he is down there dying to come take someone's spot should light a fire under some asses.
GYFHG
--SiM
I recorded the tsn season preview where they go 'in depth ' on all 7 Canadian teams. With the magic of FF:
ReplyDeleteleafs 11m 5s - 2nd Atlantic
Habs 5m 40s - 2nd wild card
Sens 5m 5s
Jets 9m 20s
Flames 6m 10s
Oilers 6m 33s
Canucks 5m 20s
As I ff'd through the leaf pack of course they had blabcock on. Jeebuz his face looks like a roadmap to hell.
I listened to the Habs bit. Speedy young forwards Suzuki, yay. Only will make playoffs on back of Carey Price. Surprise that's all they really know about the Habs.
Watched the jets report because Sarah O is a breath of fresh air among the putrid smelling compost pile of leaf lovers.
That's all I got.
The time spent on each team actually looks very accurate compared to how much they actually give a shit about other teams outside of the CotU.
Deleteyes but... the Journal de Montreal will never commit less than three full pages to les Glorieux, donc...
DeleteYes Scott, but, if the NoDicks come back les Glorieux will probably get tossed onto the compost pile of rotten leaf.
DeleteHeading straight to my hockey pool from work. Might have to fight the gag reflex and draft one of those leaves or ratface.
ReplyDeleteNever!
