Thanks moe for keeping this blog alive. Don't pay any attention when I bitch and whine about the Habs, it's just a grumpy old man venting to his FHFriends! So, Go Habs Go and fuck da leaf! There, I feel better now. Enjoy the rest of summer and stay safe!
For the team I am more grounded more satisfied and more eager for the new season than I have been in years. Last week I was also accepted in the SHROOM program to cure cognitive dissonance so there is that.
Huh, how about that -- the wretched, putrid leaf will now pick 15th in the draft, one spot ahead of Montreal. Must be Jim Rutherford's idea of revenge for beating out his smelly, flightless bird team.
actually, I don't really care who Montreal picks in the draft this year. That player will be years away from playing. I'm more interested in who Domi + + is traded for.
Was nice to feel this intensity even if just for a series.Just eliminating the whiner Crosby is good enough for me. I have a good feeling for next season. Go Habs
Sports Bidness intersects with societal justice and we see a boycott of the man prime time. Could not happen to a bigger bunCh of MEN MAN people, in 2020 anyone can be the man.
I have just read all the bubble regression charts with a plus or minus based upon the scoring areas of CHris CHelios, and we are not making the playoffs next year statistically.
Let's start with the obvious...Thanks Moeman for keeping this blog going. It was fun having a 10 game stint of posts to follow on my phone...and IN AUGUST! I hope it returns whenever it is that the 20/21 season starts - October? January? No idea how they are going to play an entire season in a bubble. As for what has come before, it was a pretty shit season (playoffs excluded). The Habs traded away the guys they could have used in the playoffs (Uncle Nate is a face-off machine!) and the future does look bright. They aren't yet built for the playoffs but let's see what happens. I, like many others, have no issue with whatever position we draft in. It's a crap shoot and CJ hates kids (mostly...or until they actually score a shit load). So we will get whatever is left, and a boat load more. BBB has some work to do and I don't expect our future includes Domi. BBB hung him out with the wet wash in his end of season presser. I'm not worried about that. I am worried he insults Dish and we never see him and his cute kids (and wife) again. He won't get any more money so hopefully the stuff he says about being at home in Montreal counts for something. Druid I could give or take. I'm on record as not being his greatest fan. That being said, there is something to be said about chemistry and if he has some with Natureboy then he should stay. Apart from that he's a floater. BBB needs to get a really good back-up goalie (Crawford/Fleury), let Cayden play in Laval for a year and see what happens. I figure that TFS has a couple really good years left in the tank (if he gets some rest along the way) so the future, my FHFriends - is pretty much with us now. That's my take for the summer on the team we love so dearly. As for you guys, as always it's been fun. Our ranks have thinned somewhat, but, sparked by the occasional guest appearances by 29 and Moey and some late season shit stirring by my buddy Oleg (still reeling from being referred to as a "poindexter") I think it has been a lot of fun keeping in touch. So hopefully we'll all be back at some point later in the year when the NHL decides exactly what they are gonna do about 20/21.
Thanks again Moe! Stay cool..Tweet ya during the summer break!! Everyone stay safe and wear a fucking mask!
I've been contemplating the boycott by the NBA players and also the WNBA players along with some baseball and MLS I guess but here's the thing. I get what they are trying to do but I don't see how anything will change until the racist police are weeded out of the system. It would take forever to do that if at all. Where do you start? How do you start? I'm honestly puzzled about this. You can't make people not be racist anymore. I sure hope somebody smarter than me can figure it out, and soon. Pretty soon armed black people are going to start shooting back.
If the people being murdered by the cops where more sympathetic characters maybe something would change. Look at the Toronto Star end of the year edition. They show the photo of everyone killed by gun in Toronto. I alleged most lived by the sword and died by the sword.
Now I may be misinformed but in the latest case they tased him, and he said he was going for the knife in his car. Okay you can shoot him in the leg, kick him in the nuts or use the baton and knock him senseless. That would have been the correct decision. However the cop panic and shot him 7 times in the back. That cop should not be a cop. However, where are you going to find all these perfect cops?
So on a completely unrelated topic... I have owned (and loved) my Huawei P30 Pro mobile phone for over a year now. Never been an iPhone guy although I do use an ipad. Does this make me a bad person?
I just got a P30 american league phone, and its fantastic. True story, we had to take some pictures of product at work. I used my phone and another person used a Cannon SLR about 5 years old. My photos blew away the SLR.
I have no electronics loyalty, I've only ever had two phones -- an iPhone 4 and now a Samsung. I have an old Samsung tablet and a MS Surface tablet PC combo. It's all about price for me. I'd like to try an Apple tablet bit they are tres expensive. Just call me a tech whore...
It reminds me of a time when I was golfing with Lee Trevino during a thunderstorm, or maybe I was just watCHing. Lee raises his one wood to the clouds and everyone ducks in panic declaring , your just asking to get hit by lightning. Lee replies, even God cant hit a one wood.
RIP Chadwick Boseman who played the Black Panther in the Marvel movies and Jackie Robinson in '42'. Only 43 years old from colon cancer. Nobody even knew he was sick when he was filming the Avengers movies.
Loved his take as Jackie Robinson in 42. He was a great role model - for everyone of every race, ilk, creed, what have you. A tremendous loss. RIP. --SiM
Meanwhile in London... 100000 idiots protest in Trafalgar Square against wearing masks to help prevent getting Covid... If my boss ever asks me to go back to the office to work I fear for my life...
What's going on?! Is hockey still a thing? Oh look the broons are down 3-1 I see. So sad. And I see Philthy is losing. Terrible.
RIP to Mr Boseman indeed. Quite the shocker. F U Cancer. Another good human taken while so many vile ones continue to walk the earth.
Hey ooeg if you're still checking in, just wondering how things are going in your neck of the woods with the Canucks still in the hunt? Their games are on way too friggin late here otherwise I'd tune into their games. They have a good young core.
Week one of staycation has come and gone, finishing up the reno with painting and shelf construction. Maybe week 2 will actually be a bit vacationy.
Take er easy folks. Mask up and stay safe.
The M, good luck with your election. I don't think my cuz Kev has a chance against Higgs, but who knows how voters will go. He's got the covid handling feather in his cap, but it's tough to take credit for much in a minority govt...plenty easy to 'take' the blame though ☺
Thanks Saint Paddy, I think Premier Higgs will get his majority. Your cousin really doesn't have any credibility to be Premier. When Vickers bailed on the talks to give Higgs the keys for a couple more years it was his Acadien Society Liberal caucus members who told him to do it. They are only interested in two things, power and getting rid of any unilingual anglophones who might still be in any position of authority.
I recorded last night's Canucks game, I'm actually watching it right now. They do have a great core, Elias Petterssen is a star.
I love watCHing netflicks movies made by other cultures. It widens my world. Latest and greatest on Netlflix is Santana. An Angolian production that is okay for the genre, but they introduce a twist we never thought of. I really liked it,
Nice to ratface and the shaved ape turfed, low life scum both of them
It seems mini Max has played his last game as a Canadien. It's too bad, I really liked the kid, he played with heart and like the previous player who wore #13 (Squid) he understood the meaning of wearing the sainted flannel. It seems he couldn't adjust to playing the wing and chafed under the current coach. It seems there are several suitors for his services, it should make for interesting rumours. Speaking of rumours, it seems there are a few scoring wingers who could be available for the right price, Taylor Hall, who would just cost money and maybe Patrick Laine, would he like to join the Finnish contingent in Montreal?
Domi to the Peg where his Dad played is a real option I think, with Paddy coming back to the Habs. MB can't plan on actually drafting 14 players so use some draft picks to make it happen.
Eyesontheprize speculates about the Laine deal, Winnipeg only has 4 picks in the upcoming draft Montreal has 14. Give up #16 and few others plus a young D prospect and call it a day.
If it works out and Max stays, then great. Bit if he can be part of a deal that can actually bring a goal scorer to town, even better. Potentially could ditch Domi and Drouin and fit both Laine and T Hall under the cap.
Why not Jake the Snake? I don't think the late Jacques Plante would mind, maybe he would approve. Good backup for Carey, I think the wheels are starting to turn in Habland for changes. Good to see Bergevin using some of those extra picks for the here and now.
BTW, Mr. Allen is from Fredericton, N.B., just an hour up the road from here.
I actually think BBB has done a good trade. You can't help but love a goalie with two first names. Esy to make him bilingual too... Welcome to the Habs Jake! Bienvenue a Montreal Alain... Does that work?
yeah, hockey is still a thing out here, but only until the cucks get knocked out. i was really looking forward to wishing everybody happy elimination day last night, but somehow thatcher demko played like how TFS should have. thatcher demko.... is it just me or is that the name you give to your scarecrow?
anyways... St.P, the ppl in the lower mainland (thats what we call greater vcr), everybody flies the cuck flag, but if you go ask them to name 4 players, they would give you linden, bester, luongo, peterson. some might say beau horvath, and and equal number would think you are making up stripper names. the smaller cities are much better, but even they would struggle to give you correct jersey numbers.
on the whole, the province has largely returned to normal. ppl say and do all the right things, but its the economy, stupid. nothing is more important than that so all stores are open with this half-hearted attempt to mitigate this pandemic. for the record, the province recorded the highest number of new cases back to back wknds.
i know this is true for the AB PHO also but our PHO is a total rock star. she is more popular than bullets at a trump rally. shes stylish but classy, knowledgeable but not condescending, soothing and not irritating - basically complete opposite to dr. tam.
Dr. Bonnie Henry went to high school here in Saint John N.B.
Our own CMO, Dr. Jennifer Russell is top notch as well. New Brunswick has managed the pandemic A+, we haven't had a community case since the end of May! Wear a mask everybody! Stay safe!
great deal to acquire JA! ive always felt draft picks are not worth very much so ive always felt protecting these was overvalued. ask any fan who pays attention and he will admit an equal number of gems turn up in the early rounds than the late ones.
domini i really love. mainly for the exact same reasons Maritimer said above. it just seems that if you care to win too much, you wear out your welcome like squid was. if carey didnt play like a star struck fan boy to his childhood idol, im convinced domini woulda become our squid this playoff run.
answer me this you guys... why is it so dang important for a player to play his hockey card position? after the face-off, you go anywhere and everywhere. it would completely idiotic to limit your skating lanes to just what you are listed as, so whats the big deal with requiring domini (and others) to play their positions? when on offence, improvising, criss-crossing, taking up opposite angles is precisely what you do to mess up the defenders. so why limit max to misery by only allowing him to be a centre? another example of wasting a talent if they ship him out.
other rumours ive heard on the radio is EDM would take domini plus something for RNH. if domini has to go, i also like him and druid for laine
I like this trade the more I think about it. He would be the logical choice to start against western conference teams since he has face those shooters more often than Price. 30-35 stars easy which is what you want. This is more of a goalie tandem than starter/back up. Both are seasoned veterans, it's all good.
you asked me about how things are here in lotusland. i gave you an answer, but last night was an even better example of whats going on here:
(you remember the score last night?) 1. the city is dressed in blue and green. if u just arrived from mars, you would think this place is like mtl where it breathes canadiens after may. i stumble into a pub and its intermission. lotsa ppl outside smoking. thats typical right?
3rd period starts and a goal is scored. the ppl inside jump, holler, cheer and are high-fiving. the crowd outside runs in and this guy wearing a linden black skate jersey asks: so they tied it up??????? (w/ hopeful eyes).
TELL ME! WOULD THIS TICK YOU GUYS OFF IF SITUATION HAPPENED IN MTL? DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN WHERE U GUYS ARE? are there these types of fans where you live? these so called die-hards cant even...?!?! arrrrrgh! fml i hate these ppl
2. same night. same pub. after #1 happened, another group stumbles in. two of em are wearing cuck jerseys. this is a crappy lil pub so theres lotsa seats available. they catch the 3-0 goal, and the final 4-0 goal and they all jump around hooting and hollering like theyve been here since the beginning. i know for sure that group couldnt name numbers to players beyond 4! whats worse, is nobody called em out for it. nobody who was there previously gave any a glare or anything!
3. td, few mins ago. guy wearing markstrom jersey. i go up to him and pull-pull my own t-shirt and give him a nod. i ask: 'what happenes if you guys win tn?' he replies: 'well, if they win, they go on to the next round' WELL, DUH YOU DUMBASS! YOU THINK IM SOME DUMB AMERICAN FROM OLAKHOMA OR SOMETHING?! ARRRRRGH!
to fill in his oblivion, i tell him: 'no! i mean your goalkeeper!' he comes back at me with: 'oh, no, its demko tn'
NOOOOOOOOO YOU PUTZ! now im really fed up, so i say it to him straight up so he doesnt kill anymore of my braincells. i say it to him as blunt as i can: MARKSTROM! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT HIM?! he says: 'uh... i dont get it. what do you mean?'
fml... there you go guys. three separate perfect examples of why cuck fans are the worst and perfectly good reasons why i love hating the sports fans of this town. in case you wondering, they do this each year with the seahawks too. makes me wanna barf....
I saw the stat...or maybe a tweet - from someone who said that there are no Canadians under the age off 27 who have ever seen a Canadian team win the Stanley Cup. That is almost unbelievable and equally heart breaking. Something needs to change...
Glad the philthy phucktards and their despicable coaches are gone. I have zero interest in watching any more hockey. Actually I haven't watched since the Habs were eliminated except for one Canucklehead game and I struggled to get through that. Oh well, NFL football starts this week, we'll see how that goes in the land of coronavirus. Go Giants!!
Poetic justice has been served. Ex-leafs Leapin' Lou Lamiorello, Matt Martin and Leo Komarov are off the the conference finals with the NYI while $11mil pajama boy and Boy Wonder dumbass couldn't even make the dance. Ha ha suck it SFU.
To a lesser extent, the Caps wouldn't pay Barry Trotz after he coached them to a Cup and now he may get another crack at it while Ovie and company are on the sidelines.
Happy Labour Day my FHFriends. I hope you are all staying safe and enjoying the last vestiges of what has been the weirdest summer any of us has ever lived through...but luckily enough, we have all managed to live through it. RIP all those who did not. And to make it even weirder...the UK doesn't celebrate Labour Day so I have been working (from home) since 8.00 am BST.
Hey the M, had our NFL draft tonite. I sold the farm to win the championship last year so only had a 4th round pick, then the rest of my picks started at the end of round 7. And I kept Ekeler as a 5th and Mahomes for a 9th. Needless to say I have an interesting group who will need to over achieve. Just happy to see NFL back...though I don't have a great feeling about the season finishing.
Unfortunately I have no football pool going on. As yet anyway. I dropped out of my hockey keeper pool as well, I suspect there was some shenanigans going on as the same person won 3 years in a row and was set up to do so for years to come.
hey guys... LOTS of talk here that virtanen is not coming back.
1. do not let domini go! 2. if he has to go, do not take draft picks back! 3. virtanen : domi 4. laine : domi + somebody 5. RNH: domi + somebody crappy 6. consider domi + druid in blockbuster
wow. you really on the ball with her. that only came out yd. i think you said she has some sort of link to the e.coast with you guys, but is she otherwise famous out where u guys are as well? i ask cause i have no clue who are your chief health officers, nor can i name any of your premiers!
shes got a huge fan club on fb... probably bigger than any of the habs combined.
@Saint Paddy -- I just shot 77 at my home golf course to tie a personal best that I shot a few weeks ago. At age 65 I'm playing the best golf of my life. Getting my back repaired was life changing. I'm really fortunate as some people don't recover as well from that particular surgery.
Anybody still watching hockey? I haven't given it a look at all.
I can't see crowds being allowed in NHL rinks in Canada anytime soon. It will be interesting go see how that turns out. Can they get enough TV revenue to survive? I know Rogers ratings are way up right now.
77?! Wow, I'd be happy with 97. That said I was only out twice this year so maybe it'll need to be a retirement gig, my golf improvement. I can go at 56 if I so choose...
Patches...and Cousins is there too isn't he? Also not watching hockey.Disappointed that I found myself actually hoping for the Raptors when I tuned into their game for the first time tonite. Off to Game 7. Their play be play guys are bigger homers than hugesimpleton ffs though. Hard to listen to.
@Saint Paddy, I retired at 54, took some lessons and went at it. Play at least 3 times a week and you get a 'feel' for the game. Work on the short game, chipping and putting, and you will cut strokes like crazy.
Where is Steve lately? Did he fall off his bike again?
So I've been dipping in and out of highlights as the playoffs continue. Have y'll noticed the new "SweetSpot" in the league is now top shelp just to the left or right ear of the goalie . All goalies are great at getting over and stacking their pads and pressing against the post. The only space they leave, as they are kneeling, is the little space between their ear and the goalpost/cross bar. A lot more goalies are gonna get hit in the face next season as the snipers aim for that sweet spot on a one-timer, mark my words! But it will force them to stand a little taller which is something I have always thought TFS should do - he is 6'3 after all. We might also see some of the keepers opting for thicker should pads to gain an advantage - you watch - it's gonna happen! If I was so inclined I would patent new goalie chest protector with high padded shoulders...You guys have read it here first!!
According to the fried man, bbb is checking to see if Danno is worth a bag of pucks. Letang to Montreal? Arizona will be a bottom feeder and won't want to pay Taylor Hall. Lots of options out there as bbb has plenty of cap space and cash. No more excuses bergy.
So true, and the reason we outside the GTA despise the tranna media and their blatant bias. Whatever happened to objectiveness?
"This is the state of Toronto sports media in 2020. Ridiculous." Quote Tweet
Kate Beirness @KateBeirness · 19h Not the ending anyone wanted but thank you Raptors... hell of a series! We will be back! #WeTheNorth
"We"? Fuck you Kate. WeTheNorth is tranna generated bullshit. Down here in the Maritimes the Celtics would be the more followed team. I'm a Knicks fan... if I still followed basketball. Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley and John Starks were my guys. Michael Jordan's Bulls denied a lot of great players a championship ring.
martimer: 1. your memory of the knicks is exactly how i remember them too! awesomely at their best as seinfeld regulars and as spike's army vs reggie 2. that pick-up by BBB on sat, yippie!? is THAT what you wanted?!
Hey oleg, I remember Spike Lee at those Knick's home games. I think he got into it with Jordan verbally a few times back in the day. The Dance is a great documentary.
I like the Edmunson pickup by ol' bargainbin. A recent Cup winner with the Blues (along with Jake the Snake) it seems bergy is trying to bring some winning experience to his loser Habs. Joel is a big boy, 6-4, 215lbs, teams may find the Habs D tough to deal with Weber and Chariot back there as well. Those two were really nasty in the playoffs(ins). Somebody else to keep the cryders away from Price. That's if they can even sign him.

Good football game betwixt moe and the Maritimer's teams. Hoping for the Steelers simply because my terrible fantasy team needs points from their TE Ebron. Oh, and because David Tyree...
Congrats to Mr Higgs and the Conservatives on his majority win in NB. I watched a few of the debates and it was clear that my cousin Mr Vickers (whom I've never met by the way) was out of his league. And I don't know if he was coached or that's his normal public speaking way, but it wasn't good. Looks like he lost to an Alliance candidate even. Hope he just decides to enjoy his retirement.
Ah yes, David Tyree, I'll never forget that catch.
Kevin Vickers really didn't have a chance, he couldn't win his own riding but how could he really? He just moved back after over 30 years away, the people didn't know him. He was appointed leader of a Liberal party left in disarray by the incompetent Brian Gallant and no one who was an MLA would even step up to the plate. They tried the old ploy of trying to buy their way into power but the people of New Brunswick were having none of it. So, the francophones in the north stuck to their guns and will sit on the sidelines for the next 4 years. The linguistic divide remains as wide as ever, and with a 90% failure rate in the immersion program it will remain for generations to come.
As a Giants fan do you cringe everytime Saquon decides to hurdle a tackler? Man you get hit the wrong way mid air doing that and could cause some serious damage. He's fun to watch though, should be getting fed a lot more in my opinion...and I don't have him in fantasy.
So, as we are now getting close to the end of the season, when does the new season start? And does every team stay in Tranna and Edmonton? Bubble cities? Anyone know? I've lost track.
Makes sense...but does it make financial sense for the teams if there are no fans...you know that old song - "if there ain't no audience, there ain't no show..." I know that TV revenue is important but hockey is a tough enough sell in some of the states without it being all virtual. They will have the battle to get fans back if they waited a year anyway - so I do wonder how viable running a season without the fans really is...
📲 As announced yesterday, iOS 14 (and iPadOS 14) are available today and downloadable as of now. I recommend upgrading when you have the time and if your current iPhone and/or iPad supports this major release https://www.apple.com/ca/ios/ios-14/. Remember to do your backup beforehand. This is the MAJOR annual update and it has a lot of new features, namely Home Screen customization on iPhone, built-in translation, privacy/security updates, better CarPlay, an even better Safari and new User Interface options. Apps across the board see some new features too. New iPads were announced yesterday and new iPhones should be announced sometime in October. 👍🏻
According to dredger, lots of teams looking to get well below the $81.5 mil cap. With "For Sale" signs every where, bargainbin will have a field day window shopping.
Lots of veteran players are going to be looking for jobs when the new season begins. I read they are ALL going to play for the putrid leaf. Guess those same wretched leaf are lobbying for unlimited cap space for them alone so they can sign all these players.
In other news, Tiger Woods apparently can't shoot in the low 70's at Winged Foot unlike a certain orange skinned prez aka the commander-in-cheat. Glad I don't have to watch Woods every shot this weekend even when he's 10 strokes behind. Good luck to Adam Hadwin though and I hope somebody other than the unlikeable Patrick Reed wins.

Apart from that he's a floater. BBB needs to get a really good back-up goalie (Crawford/Fleury), let Cayden play in Laval for a year and see what happens. I figure that TFS has a couple really good years left in the tank (if he gets some rest along the way) so the future, my FHFriends - is pretty much with us now. That's my take for the summer on the team we love so dearly. As for you guys, as always it's been fun. Our ranks have thinned somewhat, but, sparked by the occasional guest appearances by 29 and Moey and some late season shit stirring by my buddy Oleg (still reeling from being referred to as a "poindexter") I think it has been a lot of fun keeping in touch. So hopefully we'll all be back at some point later in the year when the NHL decides exactly what they are gonna do about 20/21.

DeleteI have no electronics loyalty, I've only ever had two phones -- an iPhone 4 and now a Samsung. I have an old Samsung tablet and a MS Surface tablet PC combo. It's all about price for me. I'd like to try an Apple tablet bit they are tres expensive. Just call me a tech whore...
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a time when I was golfing with Lee Trevino during a thunderstorm, or maybe I was just watCHing. Lee raises his one wood to the clouds and everyone ducks in panic declaring , your just asking to get hit by lightning. Lee replies, even God cant hit a one wood.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually a one iron but it's just details.
DeleteRIP Chadwick Boseman who played the Black Panther in the Marvel movies and Jackie Robinson in '42'. Only 43 years old from colon cancer. Nobody even knew he was sick when he was filming the Avengers movies.
ReplyDeleteRIP: he was a great actor.
DeleteAnother decent human being lost to cancer. Fuck.
DeleteHeard his role as James Brown is quite incredible.
Rest in Peace.
Loved his take as Jackie Robinson in 42. He was a great role model - for everyone of every race, ilk, creed, what have you. A tremendous loss. RIP.

Look out for the leaf, they are signing every UFA at a home town discount.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile in London... 100000 idiots protest in Trafalgar Square against wearing masks to help prevent getting Covid... If my boss ever asks me to go back to the office to work I fear for my life...
ReplyDeleteIf I had a nickel for every Idiot I would be President of the Untited States, without even being born there/
DeleteWhat's going on?! Is hockey still a thing? Oh look the broons are down 3-1 I see. So sad. And I see Philthy is losing. Terrible.
ReplyDeleteRIP to Mr Boseman indeed. Quite the shocker. F U Cancer. Another good human taken while so many vile ones continue to walk the earth.
Hey ooeg if you're still checking in, just wondering how things are going in your neck of the woods with the Canucks still in the hunt? Their games are on way too friggin late here otherwise I'd tune into their games. They have a good young core.
Week one of staycation has come and gone, finishing up the reno with painting and shelf construction. Maybe week 2 will actually be a bit vacationy.
Take er easy folks. Mask up and stay safe.
The M, good luck with your election. I don't think my cuz Kev has a chance against Higgs, but who knows how voters will go. He's got the covid handling feather in his cap, but it's tough to take credit for much in a minority govt...plenty easy to 'take' the blame though ☺
Thanks Saint Paddy, I think Premier Higgs will get his majority. Your cousin really doesn't have any credibility to be Premier. When Vickers bailed on the talks to give Higgs the keys for a couple more years it was his Acadien Society Liberal caucus members who told him to do it. They are only interested in two things, power and getting rid of any unilingual anglophones who might still be in any position of authority.
DeleteI recorded last night's Canucks game, I'm actually watching it right now. They do have a great core, Elias Petterssen is a star.
lets hope one of our alphabet players becomes real. We got a Yoni, we got an Ilkonen, lets call Yoni V and a Ilkon moon of Saturn.
DeleteRFUCK the Broons and go CANUCKS
ReplyDeleteI love watCHing netflicks movies made by other cultures. It widens my world. Latest and greatest on Netlflix is Santana. An Angolian production that is okay for the genre, but they introduce a twist we never thought of. I really liked it,
ReplyDeleteNice to see PatChes find his playoff Mojo
ReplyDeleteBye-bye Broons. --SiM
ReplyDeleteHa! Suck it broons!
ReplyDeletethere will be one less shaved ape on the ice, its a Jim Croce tune
ReplyDeleteNice to ratface and the shaved ape turfed, low life scum both of them
ReplyDeleteIt seems mini Max has played his last game as a Canadien. It's too bad, I really liked the kid, he played with heart and like the previous player who wore #13 (Squid) he understood the meaning of wearing the sainted flannel. It seems he couldn't adjust to playing the wing and chafed under the current coach. It seems there are several suitors for his services, it should make for interesting rumours. Speaking of rumours, it seems there are a few scoring wingers who could be available for the right price, Taylor Hall, who would just cost money and maybe Patrick Laine, would he like to join the Finnish contingent in Montreal?
*Nice to SEE*...
DeleteDomi to the Peg where his Dad played is a real option I think, with Paddy coming back to the Habs. MB can't plan on actually drafting 14 players so use some draft picks to make it happen.
DeleteEyesontheprize speculates about the Laine deal, Winnipeg only has 4 picks in the upcoming draft Montreal has 14. Give up #16 and few others plus a young D prospect and call it a day.
DeleteA shitload of picks and prospects for Laine, do it if they can still pay for the rest of the lineup in the next 3-5 years.
DeleteIf it works out and Max stays, then great. Bit if he can be part of a deal that can actually bring a goal scorer to town, even better. Potentially could ditch Domi and Drouin and fit both Laine and T Hall under the cap.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sold on Hall. Losing seems to follow him around like Andrew Scheer's albatross. But Laine....!
Delete--SiM
I sign Hall for 6.5 mill for 7 thats it, take it or leave it.
DeleteI think we've seen the last of Domini. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteLaine is too expensive, Ehlers could be a nice pick-up.
Go Canucks.
I'd take Ehlers as well, more all around player too. Steve would have a ball with the Rangar Lothbrok thing...
DeleteJake Allen a Hab.
ReplyDeleteCan't use Jake the Snake.
Maybe Jah ?
Why not Jake the Snake? I don't think the late Jacques Plante would mind, maybe he would approve. Good backup for Carey, I think the wheels are starting to turn in Habland for changes. Good to see Bergevin using some of those extra picks for the here and now.
DeleteBTW, Mr. Allen is from Fredericton, N.B., just an hour up the road from here.
Semi kidding on the snake nick.
DeleteI like this trade/move.
Late 1990s I drove from Fredericton to Saint John. Loved both cities.
Locals loved my un-accented French/English. I told them I was a child of P.E.T.'s bilingual Canada.
Apple Juice! Should be a terrific fit! Welcome back to Montreal, Jake! --SiM
DeletePomme !
DeleteParfait! Pomme it is.
DeleteI actually think BBB has done a good trade. You can't help but love a goalie with two first names. Esy to make him bilingual too... Welcome to the Habs Jake! Bienvenue a Montreal Alain... Does that work?
ReplyDeleteNope doesn't really work for the family name.
DeleteBUT, in Québec a lot of folks with the name White became LeBlanc. A lot !
Now, as for my family name Bélanger, it translates into Beautiful Angel. I'll take it.
He hehe...just for that I hereby dub our new Goalie... ALAIN!
Deletehey St.P!
ReplyDeleteyeah, hockey is still a thing out here, but only until the cucks get knocked out. i was really looking forward to wishing everybody happy elimination day last night, but somehow thatcher demko played like how TFS should have. thatcher demko.... is it just me or is that the name you give to your scarecrow?
anyways... St.P, the ppl in the lower mainland (thats what we call greater vcr), everybody flies the cuck flag, but if you go ask them to name 4 players, they would give you linden, bester, luongo, peterson. some might say beau horvath, and and equal number would think you are making up stripper names. the smaller cities are much better, but even they would struggle to give you correct jersey numbers.
on the whole, the province has largely returned to normal. ppl say and do all the right things, but its the economy, stupid. nothing is more important than that so all stores are open with this half-hearted attempt to mitigate this pandemic. for the record, the province recorded the highest number of new cases back to back wknds.
i know this is true for the AB PHO also but our PHO is a total rock star. she is more popular than bullets at a trump rally. shes stylish but classy, knowledgeable but not condescending, soothing and not irritating - basically complete opposite to dr. tam.
Dr. Bonnie Henry went to high school here in Saint John N.B.
DeleteOur own CMO, Dr. Jennifer Russell is top notch as well. New Brunswick has managed the pandemic A+, we haven't had a community case since the end of May! Wear a mask everybody! Stay safe!
great deal to acquire JA! ive always felt draft picks are not worth very much so ive always felt protecting these was overvalued. ask any fan who pays attention and he will admit an equal number of gems turn up in the early rounds than the late ones.
ReplyDeletedomini i really love. mainly for the exact same reasons Maritimer said above. it just seems that if you care to win too much, you wear out your welcome like squid was. if carey didnt play like a star struck fan boy to his childhood idol, im convinced domini woulda become our squid this playoff run.
answer me this you guys... why is it so dang important for a player to play his hockey card position? after the face-off, you go anywhere and everywhere. it would completely idiotic to limit your skating lanes to just what you are listed as, so whats the big deal with requiring domini (and others) to play their positions? when on offence, improvising, criss-crossing, taking up opposite angles is precisely what you do to mess up the defenders. so why limit max to misery by only allowing him to be a centre? another example of wasting a talent if they ship him out.
other rumours ive heard on the radio is EDM would take domini plus something for RNH.
if domini has to go, i also like him and druid for laine
oh... and fwiw, im more than willing to trade TFS now.
ReplyDeleteRest In Peace Tom Seaver, always a class act.
ReplyDeleteGreat pitcher, RIP
DeleteLate to the Jake Allen party, but I like this trade. Allen could be 'The Key' to our success!
ReplyDeleteI like this trade the more I think about it. He would be the logical choice to start against western conference teams since he has face those shooters more often than Price. 30-35 stars easy which is what you want. This is more of a goalie tandem than starter/back up. Both are seasoned veterans, it's all good.
DeleteShaved Ape: "I want to say in Boston."
ReplyDeleteTranslation: "If I play somewhere else I'll probably get suspended 'cause I won't have Daddy Jacobs protection."
hay St.P...
ReplyDeleteyou asked me about how things are here in lotusland. i gave you an answer, but last night was an even better example of whats going on here:
(you remember the score last night?)
1. the city is dressed in blue and green. if u just arrived from mars, you would think this place is like mtl where it breathes canadiens after may. i stumble into a pub and its intermission. lotsa ppl outside smoking. thats typical right?
3rd period starts and a goal is scored. the ppl inside jump, holler, cheer and are high-fiving. the crowd outside runs in and this guy wearing a linden black skate jersey asks: so they tied it up??????? (w/ hopeful eyes).
TELL ME! WOULD THIS TICK YOU GUYS OFF IF SITUATION HAPPENED IN MTL? DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN WHERE U GUYS ARE? are there these types of fans where you live? these so called die-hards cant even...?!?! arrrrrgh! fml i hate these ppl
2. same night. same pub. after #1 happened, another group stumbles in. two of em are wearing cuck jerseys. this is a crappy lil pub so theres lotsa seats available. they catch the 3-0 goal, and the final 4-0 goal and they all jump around hooting and hollering like theyve been here since the beginning. i know for sure that group couldnt name numbers to players beyond 4! whats worse, is nobody called em out for it. nobody who was there previously gave any a glare or anything!
3. td, few mins ago. guy wearing markstrom jersey. i go up to him and pull-pull my own t-shirt and give him a nod. i ask: 'what happenes if you guys win tn?' he replies: 'well, if they win, they go on to the next round' WELL, DUH YOU DUMBASS! YOU THINK IM SOME DUMB AMERICAN FROM OLAKHOMA OR SOMETHING?! ARRRRRGH!
to fill in his oblivion, i tell him: 'no! i mean your goalkeeper!' he comes back at me with: 'oh, no, its demko tn'
NOOOOOOOOO YOU PUTZ! now im really fed up, so i say it to him straight up so he doesnt kill anymore of my braincells. i say it to him as blunt as i can: MARKSTROM! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT HIM?! he says: 'uh... i dont get it. what do you mean?'
fml... there you go guys. three separate perfect examples of why cuck fans are the worst and perfectly good reasons why i love hating the sports fans of this town. in case you wondering, they do this each year with the seahawks too. makes me wanna barf....
Sorry Canucks fans. And still no Cznadian team will have won a Cup since '93. Twenty-seventh year. --SiM
ReplyDeletebuttman rule #1: no Canadian team shall win on my watch.
DeleteHa! Suck it ya Philthy Phuckers!
ReplyDeleteAF and Vigneault and NickDickSkin shall not go on to Edmonton bubble.
DeleteLou Lamoriello did not like their game. Oh what a shame, what a shame, what a shame. --SiM
I saw the stat...or maybe a tweet - from someone who said that there are no Canadians under the age off 27 who have ever seen a Canadian team win the Stanley Cup. That is almost unbelievable and equally heart breaking. Something needs to change...
ReplyDeletebuttman rule #1: see above
DeleteTrue. With three deep-south teams out of four left playing, it's a Buttman wet dream. --SiM
DeleteGlad the philthy phucktards and their despicable coaches are gone. I have zero interest in watching any more hockey. Actually I haven't watched since the Habs were eliminated except for one Canucklehead game and I struggled to get through that. Oh well, NFL football starts this week, we'll see how that goes in the land of coronavirus. Go Giants!!
ReplyDeletePoetic justice has been served. Ex-leafs Leapin' Lou Lamiorello, Matt Martin and Leo Komarov are off the the conference finals with the NYI while $11mil pajama boy and Boy Wonder dumbass couldn't even make the dance. Ha ha suck it SFU.
ReplyDeleteTo a lesser extent, the Caps wouldn't pay Barry Trotz after he coached them to a Cup and now he may get another crack at it while Ovie and company are on the sidelines.
Happy Labour Day my FHFriends. I hope you are all staying safe and enjoying the last vestiges of what has been the weirdest summer any of us has ever lived through...but luckily enough, we have all managed to live through it. RIP all those who did not. And to make it even weirder...the UK doesn't celebrate Labour Day so I have been working (from home) since 8.00 am BST.
ReplyDeleteHey the M, had our NFL draft tonite. I sold the farm to win the championship last year so only had a 4th round pick, then the rest of my picks started at the end of round 7. And I kept Ekeler as a 5th and Mahomes for a 9th. Needless to say I have an interesting group who will need to over achieve. Just happy to see NFL back...though I don't have a great feeling about the season finishing.
ReplyDeleteGo New Look Pats!
Unfortunately I have no football pool going on. As yet anyway. I dropped out of my hockey keeper pool as well, I suspect there was some shenanigans going on as the same person won 3 years in a row and was set up to do so for years to come.
Deletehey guys... LOTS of talk here that virtanen is not coming back.
ReplyDelete1. do not let domini go!
2. if he has to go, do not take draft picks back!
3. virtanen : domi
4. laine : domi + somebody
5. RNH: domi + somebody crappy
6. consider domi + druid in blockbuster
You knew it was coming as DR. Bonnie Henry closes down the bar scene in B.C. Hats off to her. Is Quebec up next?
ReplyDeletewow. you really on the ball with her. that only came out yd. i think you said she has some sort of link to the e.coast with you guys, but is she otherwise famous out where u guys are as well? i ask cause i have no clue who are your chief health officers, nor can i name any of your premiers!
Deleteshes got a huge fan club on fb... probably bigger than any of the habs combined.
@Saint Paddy -- I just shot 77 at my home golf course to tie a personal best that I shot a few weeks ago. At age 65 I'm playing the best golf of my life. Getting my back repaired was life changing. I'm really fortunate as some people don't recover as well from that particular surgery.
ReplyDeleteAnybody still watching hockey? I haven't given it a look at all.
I can't see crowds being allowed in NHL rinks in Canada anytime soon. It will be interesting go see how that turns out. Can they get enough TV revenue to survive? I know Rogers ratings are way up right now.
Not interested in the remaining playoffs but will wish Patches good luck, even though it is a hoax of a bettman team.
DeleteTook an extra long weekend. Still WFH, except Mondays.
77?! Wow, I'd be happy with 97. That said I was only out twice this year so maybe it'll need to be a retirement gig, my golf improvement. I can go at 56 if I so choose...
DeletePatches...and Cousins is there too isn't he? Also not watching hockey.Disappointed that I found myself actually hoping for the Raptors when I tuned into their game for the first time tonite. Off to Game 7. Their play be play guys are bigger homers than hugesimpleton ffs though. Hard to listen to.
Delete@Saint Paddy, I retired at 54, took some lessons and went at it. Play at least 3 times a week and you get a 'feel' for the game. Work on the short game, chipping and putting, and you will cut strokes like crazy.
DeleteWhere is Steve lately? Did he fall off his bike again?
Rest in Peace Diana Rigg.
ReplyDeleteIndeed...RIP
DeleteSo I've been dipping in and out of highlights as the playoffs continue. Have y'll noticed the new "SweetSpot" in the league is now top shelp just to the left or right ear of the goalie . All goalies are great at getting over and stacking their pads and pressing against the post. The only space they leave, as they are kneeling, is the little space between their ear and the goalpost/cross bar. A lot more goalies are gonna get hit in the face next season as the snipers aim for that sweet spot on a one-timer, mark my words! But it will force them to stand a little taller which is something I have always thought TFS should do - he is 6'3 after all. We might also see some of the keepers opting for thicker should pads to gain an advantage - you watch - it's gonna happen! If I was so inclined I would patent new goalie chest protector with high padded shoulders...You guys have read it here first!!
ReplyDeleteAccording to the fried man, bbb is checking to see if Danno is worth a bag of pucks. Letang to Montreal? Arizona will be a bottom feeder and won't want to pay Taylor Hall. Lots of options out there as bbb has plenty of cap space and cash. No more excuses bergy.

"We"? Fuck you Kate. WeTheNorth is tranna generated bullshit. Down here in the Maritimes the Celtics would be the more followed team. I'm a Knicks fan... if I still followed basketball. Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley and John Starks were my guys. Michael Jordan's Bulls denied a lot of great players a championship ring.
They can’t be helped. I told her to find some integrity.
Deletemartimer:
ReplyDelete1. your memory of the knicks is exactly how i remember them too! awesomely at their best as seinfeld regulars and as spike's army vs reggie
2. that pick-up by BBB on sat, yippie!? is THAT what you wanted?!
Hey oleg, I remember Spike Lee at those Knick's home games. I think he got into it with Jordan verbally a few times back in the day. The Dance is a great documentary.
DeleteI like the Edmunson pickup by ol' bargainbin. A recent Cup winner with the Blues (along with Jake the Snake) it seems bergy is trying to bring some winning experience to his loser Habs. Joel is a big boy, 6-4, 215lbs, teams may find the Habs D tough to deal with Weber and Chariot back there as well. Those two were really nasty in the playoffs(ins). Somebody else to keep the cryders away from Price. That's if they can even sign him.
I think that should be The Last Dance, it was late when I typed that.
DeleteDGMB making moves on the D.
ReplyDeleteRest In Peace Mme. Chrétien.

ReplyDeleteClose so far.
DeleteGo Steelers !!!
No disrespect to Patches but go Stars and Radu.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Patches of old...when the money is on the line...he's nowhere...
DeleteHe is not as effective against the tight-checking of playoff hockey. An important asset in the regular season. Tatar is similar in that respect. --SiM
DeleteI'm so out of it! Hi everybody! I've been gone a long time but happy to see this blog still up and going, that's a nice feat moeman!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers everyone, hope to see you soon!
Thx Had !
DeleteGreat to see you dropping in.
Good football game betwixt moe and the Maritimer's teams. Hoping for the Steelers simply because my terrible fantasy team needs points from their TE Ebron. Oh, and because David Tyree...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Mr Higgs and the Conservatives on his majority win in NB. I watched a few of the debates and it was clear that my cousin Mr Vickers (whom I've never met by the way) was out of his league. And I don't know if he was coached or that's his normal public speaking way, but it wasn't good. Looks like he lost to an Alliance candidate even. Hope he just decides to enjoy his retirement.
Ah yes, David Tyree, I'll never forget that catch.
DeleteKevin Vickers really didn't have a chance, he couldn't win his own riding but how could he really? He just moved back after over 30 years away, the people didn't know him. He was appointed leader of a Liberal party left in disarray by the incompetent Brian Gallant and no one who was an MLA would even step up to the plate. They tried the old ploy of trying to buy their way into power but the people of New Brunswick were having none of it. So, the francophones in the north stuck to their guns and will sit on the sidelines for the next 4 years. The linguistic divide remains as wide as ever, and with a 90% failure rate in the immersion program it will remain for generations to come.
Now, back to football... GO GIANTS!!!!
As a Giants fan do you cringe everytime Saquon decides to hurdle a tackler? Man you get hit the wrong way mid air doing that and could cause some serious damage. He's fun to watch though, should be getting fed a lot more in my opinion...and I don't have him in fantasy.
DeleteSteelers 1-0.
ReplyDelete@Saint Paddy, I tried to answer you 3 times last night but effin blogger kept eating them so I gave up.
ReplyDeletemoe's Steelers took my Giants to school last night. Congrats.
So, as we are now getting close to the end of the season, when does the new season start? And does every team stay in Tranna and Edmonton? Bubble cities? Anyone know? I've lost track.
ReplyDeletePossibly Dec. 1st. Rumour says 4 cities in bubbles, all in Canada ?
DeleteMakes sense...but does it make financial sense for the teams if there are no fans...you know that old song - "if there ain't no audience, there ain't no show..." I know that TV revenue is important but hockey is a tough enough sell in some of the states without it being all virtual. They will have the battle to get fans back if they waited a year anyway - so I do wonder how viable running a season without the fans really is...

I recommend upgrading when you have the time and if your current iPhone and/or iPad supports this major release https://www.apple.com/ca/ios/ios-14/. Remember to do your backup beforehand. This is the MAJOR annual update and it has a lot of new features, namely Home Screen customization on iPhone, built-in translation, privacy/security updates, better CarPlay, an even better Safari and new User Interface options. Apps across the board see some new features too. New iPads were announced yesterday and new iPhones should be announced sometime in October. 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteSo maybe JEd as a nickname ?
ReplyDeleteFour years at a very manageable cap hit. Nice job, MB. Welcome aboard, Joel Edmundson. Why do I think of Fred Munster? --SiM
ReplyDeleteI am hearing that Joel will be wearing Number 69 - so I propose we nickname him "Magic"
ReplyDeleteKadillak's days as a Hab are probably over.
ReplyDeleteAccording to dredger, lots of teams looking to get well below the $81.5 mil cap. With "For Sale" signs every where, bargainbin will have a field day window shopping.
I like MB's work so far this off season. Crease shored up? Check. Defence shored up? Check. Scoring woes sorted out? Stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Manny Malhotra was an assistant in Vancouver...now I know he enjoys oatmeal for breakfast and Charmin for wiping his ass.
ReplyDeleteLots of veteran players are going to be looking for jobs when the new season begins. I read they are ALL going to play for the putrid leaf. Guess those same wretched leaf are lobbying for unlimited cap space for them alone so they can sign all these players.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, Tiger Woods apparently can't shoot in the low 70's at Winged Foot unlike a certain orange skinned prez aka the commander-in-cheat. Glad I don't have to watch Woods every shot this weekend even when he's 10 strokes behind. Good luck to Adam Hadwin though and I hope somebody other than the unlikeable Patrick Reed wins.
