  2. Love that CHelly pic. Never forget his quote on being traded from the CH (where he was co-captain at the time btw): "It sucks!"

    Good pivot from C3P0 to CHill on this post, too. cat-like blogging reflexes there, moeman. Well played.

    2. CHelly's reaction on Captains' Night was fantastic. He was great in pre-post game interviews. Said he was shocked about the huge ovation (he derseved).

      That was another bad trade, Chelios for a past his prime Denis Savard, indeed one of many over the years. I have to say and give credit where it is due, bergevin hasn't made any bad ones yet. I know, the PFK trade was a sideways one that made no sense at the time but ultimately didn't cost the Habs. I still say he could have got more for PK than a one for one. You have to wonder what Taylor Hall is going to cost. I think bergevin is in the running for him, if I were to hazard a guess, Poehling and a couple picks one of which will be the 2021 1st rounder.

    4. Would you rather have PatChes or Nature, TaTar and Mattias Norlinder. Matt Duchene or all the gold that Colorado got. McSplooge is Mcslooging all over this and the next draft. However players like Tyler Boy in the Hall dont become available ever. Unless its a sign and trade I pass.

  3. Congrats, Denis Villeneuve on being honoured by his peers. Just look at what Scorsese's done in this decade and you'll understand how big this is.

    Or, watch Incendies. Not much compares to it IMHO

    Haven't felt good all day with a touch of a headache, I must have picked up a bug the last few days. i'm sipping on rum and eggnog. I picked up a bottle of 12 year old Flor de Cana, should be a nice change from whiskey.

  8. To much conversation not enough action. BTW THE EXPANSE season four has dropped, I have seen the first ep and its evident Mr Jeff is pouring some Amazing coin into the series/

  9. FFS Mandela looking like a Vezina candidate. Wings have 8 wins. 8. This will make 9, 2 against the Habs. Losing these games are what you look at in April when 2 points outside looking in. 5 minutes to change the script. Good luck I'm back to golf.

  10. gotta like the play off Blitz/Kale/Snowy, Nature, Army (first Joel) Chariot of eggs,EAP Pole Dancer in addition to the usual suspects. I expect KidKo Koko will bounce back along with Meat and LB. Come on Cinderella get it all together we can play on with one head light (Jacob Dylan) This is a team that can do damage.

  11. WHat does not kill me makes me stronger. I went over the handlebars today for the first time in at least a decade. Hit chest first and did the dead fish as I knocked all the O2 out of my lungs. I recovered, had to haul my bike like a dead soldier over 20 m of parking lot. My bike needs repair but I am going to only need a few days on LTR. Aside from James Holden I am probably the toughest guy in 300 solar systems.

      Wow, hope you are OK Steve. I put the bike away weeks ago. I don't ride in the cold.

    2. I am sore today, I have gone over the handlbars at least ten times in my life, this was a low level event, I will be back to 100% by Wed. I practice Kirkfu daily and when I hit the ground I do a double fist chop before my main mass impacts, its a way to stay out of the hospital:)

    Can I just say how disappointing last night's game was? Losing twice (4 games) to bottom feeders, at home no less, is beyond frustrating and not the mark of a team that is a contender or even a pretender. These shitty losses will come back to haunt them mark my words.

    I am dumping Bell in the new year so I'm not sure if I will even be able to watch hockey. I'm not going to miss efforts like last night I can tell you.

    This is on Cowan's Twitter feed ... pretty funny and 100% accurate:

    "Habs GM Marc Bergevin holding a press conference at noon Vancouver time."

    The reply: No need to listen here’s a summary I’ve heard enough Bergy pressers. Goal is to make the playoffs, build through the draft, hard to make trades it takes 2, confidence in Claude, the answer is in the room, I like our character.

    Yep, pretty much nailed it.

  14. Bold prediction, we make the playoffs and get past the first round.

    So here is my television plan for 2020. I'm dumping Bell who are jacking up their bundle price by $10 per month after an $11 hike for 2019. I am going to switch to an internet provider called Primus for $60 a month and will be streaming everything. I have Netflix and Amazon and, with the savings, I may subscribe to NHL streaming service and down the road may try Disney+. We'll see. I'm done with the Big 2.

    1. Free at last Free at last. I have the NHL Rodgers package, its not golden streams and it starts every game late. Still it beats the pirates with reliable quality.

    2. Been with Teksavvy for years. Twice they've lowered my bill. Excellent service, except for when Bell's infrastructure fails them. $50 a month, after buying the router. --SiM

  18. A nice win to go onto Christmas with. I wanted to wish my fellow FHFers a very merry Christmas (or how/whatever it is you might celebrate). For my family this is the one we were going to celebrate in style. It is the one Mom of K3X was not supposed to see but she is doing really well and has responded to her treatments with an amazing spirit and "fuck'em I'm going live 'till I die" attitude. So I am very grateful to the amazing doctors at Lakeside Hospital in Oshawa for looking after her. Our numbers here might have dwindled and comments are fewer and farther in between but FHF remains a solid fav for me and long may it continue. Moeman and Saint Pad do an amazing job. Merry Christmas to you all! GO YOU FUCKING HABS GO!
