Can't believe I am actually excited about hockey again! JUST FUCKING WIN BABY!
Moe, brother...you know my dedication to this place of ours is without question...but I'm not digging the new banner. I know you understand my views on it too...Je m'excuse but je suis un traditioneliste (who clearly can't spell in french...lol) All the same, thank you on behalf of us all for keeping this safe place alive. GYFHG!
It is indeed and I shall say no more. One thing I have developed through all this is a heightened sense of "fuck it, there are way more important things in life" - they are only going to wear it for a handful of games anyway. It took me years to get used to the switch to Red for home games, so I'm not the target market for the blue shirt anyway...hehehehe Go you Fucking Habs Go!
I know it's blue, but I don't hate the sweater. I feel shame. There was a commercial for something a number of years back stating 'people like blue' so I guess that's it. Just not leaf compost blue.
So up for this I love the TSN survey of knowledgeable people who all agree that the leaf will be number one. That's like 30 Helens... right? Anyway starting on the road is a good thing for getting to know each other Also could somebody tell Brendan Kelly to stop trying to write about something he knows nothing about so ya Go Habs
Again shame on me, but I tuned into TSN at lunch. I saw Poulin and I don't mind him. He and Button are both predicting the Habs to come out of the north division...but losing to TB in the semis. Poulin says unlike other teams vying for the north, the Habs are more built for the playoffs on both ends of the ice, defending and creating havoc on offence.
A lot of what happens with a lot of teams this year really depends on health. I sincerely hope all players on all teams (even the leafs) and their families stay healthy through this. In the end, even mrs Pad, who actually hates hockey, says there are a lot of Canadians depending on this for their mental health as silly as that might seem. So I suspect this could be uplifting for a lot of folks. Except leaf fans who will fall into a deeper depression (sorry, couldn't resist!)
All the back to back games against the same team is going to bring a weird dimension to the season. My sleep pattern since all this started has been royally screwed so the late starts in the East won't be a problem. West coast swings will remain a challenge but lets see how we all get on. One thing I am glad about is that I don't have to read all the leafools news - I mute a lot of them. Being built for the playoffs should be a good thing in a 56 game season. Fingers crossed they stay healthy.
In 67 the leaffools led the big parade For 54 years now they plan again They’re followed by rows and rows of the finest cotu assholes The dreaming never seems to end
That’s all I’ve got. Can’t be bothered to waste my time trying to finish a leaffool parody.
For those wondering about the new name and avatar in case you don't remember this historic moment - http://fourhockeyfans.blogspot.com/2020/01/when-29-met-29.html
I am still not sure if I like the reverse blue / red jersey depicted in the excellent new header. Of course, I am not one to talk about bastardization of jerseys...
Just finished off a big bowl of chili...should be a warm night. Had a Paleo chocolate chip cookie for dessert, which I made last night. Got a local brewery's Cole Harbour Red waiting for pick drop.
I am a cynical fucker and don't like to get my hopes up, but I am excited for this lineup - https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1349503442671333381/photo/1
That was an awesome period. Nature Boy and Andy with nice goals. Andy is a power forward we have been missing for some time now. Romanov looks so mature already. I am so pumped for this season... And 29 is back in full flow. But where TF is Steve?
K3M: yeah! great observation! i remember they used to wear whites at home. it wasnt until buttman started ruining ice hockey by making them wear colours at the forum that made us buy the other set for their mechandise revenues...
martimer: 'cant play run and gun. they dont have the firepower' come on man! be fair! if they had won this match, you wouldnt be saying that!
fwiw... this loss is on me. as soon as i turned it on, Druid's clear hit the ref for the 4-4 goal. still on this play... did any of you notice what that stupid colour guy said afterwards? i swear he must be related to idotboy hughson... after that goal, the colour guy said something akin: 'gotta feel for _ref_ _name_ there.' uh.... WHAT? are you freaking nuts?! what about Druid!? it was his pass which clanged off directly for the game-tieing goal! stupid talking head....
watching the boys for the first time gives me some first thoughts... #27: wearing AK's former number?! no! that was shayne's number!
#73: good on him for donning this shirt. can i nominate him to be CCR3.0?
perry: didnt notice him. got no nickname for him beside dingus.
Jedi: no! he is definitely not cool enough to carry this nickname. can we do anything with a reference to this guy? http://www.lemonaidcars.com any of you old enough to remember what im talking about? he was pretty big before yahoo came along...
#14: i still dont like nature boy. sounds kinda pansy, but i guess i can live with it IF we start doing the ric flair WOOOOO! when he scores.
JosCH: still hate him b/c he cost us Domini, but it looks like he tries hard so thats good... (take note GIJoel, your days are numbered). still on JosCH, somebody on tv said he could be the answer to what the habs thought they had in big Mac. what do you guys think?
Unknown & Moeman: no! not a fair compare to LeClair. never a fair compare to anybody. when he got traded, it would have been impossible to see him turn into that type of player. im convinced he flourished only b/c he went to PHI which plays exactly that kind of style better than anybody in the league. if he stayed behind or got traded to any other team, im sure he wouldnt have been any better than a 20-goal guy.
*oh! and almost forgot! you guys watch HI/O? what happened to their host? Adam Susser was great! this new guy has been a guest panelist in the past but theres nothing wrong with the job adam was doing! whats the story?
Nothing worse than staying up stupid late to lose in OT...but an exciting game. Habs made some mistakes, some worked harder than others and they need to calm the fuck down in OT - I suspect they will play a lot of OT this season. It's 1 good play that wins OT...and one bonehead one will cost it ya! So I suspect we'll see Alain in Edmonton - at least once. Note to @Oleg - You didn't notice Perry because he was in the Uber for this game...I have no understanding of how the "taxi" squad thing works so someone far more abreast of this new system could go into detail. Great to see +130 comments on the thread too...GYFHG!
Disappointing to lose that game. Up 3-1 on the road they needed to slow it down just a little, the putrid leaf have no concept of how to play defensively so let them run around and make mistakes. Saint Paddy is correct, stay out of the box 'cause the PK needs work still. I suspect we will be watching a lot of close, OT, SO games in this division. Even with Ottawa. Alcohol may be required.
Good to see so many commenters back on the site, 29, lehab, Chester even our little west coast friend oleg the water bug! Cheers!
One last comment here...I had no option but to watch SN feed last night. 10 games v. the fuckin leaf is gonna be a real bummer. Against other teams normally you can select who's feed (visitor feed usually gets selected) Fucking game sound effects and a foghorn gonna drive me to drink...
More Pierre-Luc Dubois rumours, Columbus wants Slick Nick + whatever. No way Jose, not after what I saw last night. I'm not even sure I would give up Kid Koho, actually I wouldn't. They are welcome to Dano (who was gassed last night in OT in all fairness) plus a defensive prospect not named Romanov. Take a pass bergy. It's too bad. Dubois, unlike Cousin Vinny who wanted no part of Montreal, actually wants to play there.
Some fucking leafool on Twitter complaining about his precious #34 taking such a beating last night. Fellow bluenoser @ScotianCanadian sets the record straight for that bozo.
"Get over it, and get used to it.
Sorry your precious & soft big boy Auston Matthews can't take the same beating 5'9" 185lbs Brendan Gallagher has taken his entire career."
As I'm a sucker for punishment i'll tune into the suppertime shows like Overdrive to see if they're talking about anything but leafs. As I tuned in they were actually giving high praise to Suzuki and Anderson, but this was at the very end of what was probably a 30 second segment. Sure enough coming up next was a panel discussion on what to do about the excessive abuse 'star players' take in front of the net. I turned it off.
3rd game in four dsys for them. At the start of the season, at least a few of the Oils won't have their legs. I smell a Habs win tonight, based on that alone. --SiM
Two NFL playoff games and Habs and The Oil. Life is good. I'm concerned about this Dubois chatter. I'm liking KK and Nature Boy. If the Berg can swing something that doesn't move those two, hats off. Otherwise lets stay pat and see how things roll out. We've only played 60 minutes, not the time to jump. Just sayin. Go Habs
Here we go !
ReplyDeleteOui the North!
ReplyDeleteJust win game 1 and go from there.
ReplyDeleteGYMFHG!!!!!
Love the new banner and the Kovy-upon-Tucker art. Game on! G Y F H G ! --SiM

Yeah, I was wondering myself too but, it is a real jersey, it will be worn, it is a symbol of this season.
DeleteIt is indeed and I shall say no more. One thing I have developed through all this is a heightened sense of "fuck it, there are way more important things in life" - they are only going to wear it for a handful of games anyway. It took me years to get used to the switch to Red for home games, so I'm not the target market for the blue shirt anyway...hehehehe Go you Fucking Habs Go!
DeleteAll good.
DeleteEat shit and die leafools!
ReplyDeleteAlways and forever !
Delete+67
DeleteRemind me how you spell that Zamboni driver's name again...
DeleteDavid Ayres, aka Canadian Hero.
DeleteI know it's blue, but I don't hate the sweater. I feel shame. There was a commercial for something a number of years back stating 'people like blue' so I guess that's it. Just not leaf compost blue.
ReplyDeleteSo up for this
ReplyDeleteI love the TSN survey of knowledgeable people who all agree that the leaf will be number one.
That's like 30 Helens... right?
Anyway starting on the road is a good thing for getting to know each other
Also could somebody tell Brendan Kelly to stop trying to write about something he knows nothing about
so ya
Go Habs
Hey Ches.

Its funny to see how many unobjective leafools are out there.
DeleteHaven’t watched one second except for RDS.

ReplyDeleteGREETINGS (HABS) FANS FROM COAST TO COAST!!!! Welcome to Hockey (Season) in Canada
ReplyDeleteWOOOO!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteFOREVER
DeleteThank you moeman for keeping things going. You do yeoman's work
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there!
DeletePart of the team.

ReplyDeleteKen Dryden looks young.
DeleteI turned on TSN to make my blood boil. At least the James Harden trade has taken away time from Laff cocksucking
ReplyDeleteStaying clear.
DeleteI am still not sure if I like the reverse blue / red jersey depicted in the excellent new header. Of course, I am not one to talk about bastardization of jerseys...
ReplyDeleteI won’t buy one unless Cup #25 happens.
DeleteJust scrolling up and looking at all the names who are STILL here - Saint Pad, the M, K3X, lehab, Unknown aka SiM, CHester.
ReplyDeleteThis really brings a tear to me eye.
Missing a few. Maybe an exciting season will bring a few back.
DeleteBought some grocery store crab and shrimp salad that I am throwing on a roll and calling dinner.
ReplyDeleteWashing it down with quality bourbon (Woodford) on the rocks
Jalapeño poutine, Kilkenny and a splash of Eldorado5 later.
DeleteOooh, sounds delish!
Deletehttp://cassecrouteleconnaisseur.com/produit/melange-pour-sauce-poutine/
DeleteMetro or IGA
Cheater. I thought you were making a full demi glace from scratch! ;-p
DeleteOnly on weekends.
DeleteNeed to go back and see if the new blogger still has a tags feature.
ReplyDeleteK3X, Safari on iPad using iOS 14.x works great.
ReplyDeleteThat is my go to for the hockey Moe... ON HOCKEY.TV has all the streams... Sadly the SN feed was best tonight.
DeleteJust finished off a big bowl of chili...should be a warm night. Had a Paleo chocolate chip cookie for dessert, which I made last night. Got a local brewery's Cole Harbour Red waiting for pick drop.
ReplyDeleteGYMFHG!
Puck drop.
DeleteNoice
DeletePick drop sounds like a game the cat likes to play...'drop' something off a table and watch the human pick it up.
ReplyDeleteIs it ever great to have a game night!
ReplyDeleteAmen. Feels kind of weird I think. But I'll take it!
DeleteI hope we get more of Dish's kids' vids. Boyd Petry is a stsr in the making.
ReplyDeleteGYFHG --SiM
Signed for a few more years.
DeleteI am a cynical fucker and don't like to get my hopes up, but I am excited for this lineup - https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1349503442671333381/photo/1
ReplyDelete👍🏻
DeleteHeh, leafnet full bore leaf blowing and sucking. Fortunately I have the telly muted. Like lehab said, all the finest cotu assholes are here.
ReplyDeletePuck drop!!!! GYFHG!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTFS!
ReplyDeleteTFS !
ReplyDeleteCASH IT
ReplyDeleteDecline?
DeleteNever too early to complain about the PP
DeleteRomeo with Kovalev's number I see
ReplyDeleteI noticed that, wondered if it's on purpose
DeleteNot sure but my bold prediction is that it won't take him as long to get a goal as it did for Meat.
DeleteNot a bad PP
ReplyDeleteNot a bad PP, couple of good chances. Wonder what MAB is up to these days?
ReplyDeleteCASH IT
ReplyDeleteCASHED!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuzuki !
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNature Boy!
ReplyDeleteThx for the reminder on the Nick.
DeletePP 50% on the season. It's a new era!
ReplyDeleteCRAP
ReplyDeleteAndy!!!
ReplyDeleteAndy !
ReplyDeleteFuck ya
ReplyDeleteI will repeat from previous seasons, 29 are not the same person.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteDish and Druid, 2 points each.
ReplyDeleteQuality period
ReplyDeleteAre we going with Andy? I got nothing else for him.
ReplyDeleteToffee? Tinfoil?
Romeo? Raspy? Czar? Sasha?
Jake the Snake? Or just Snake?
That was an awesome period. Nature Boy and Andy with nice goals. Andy is a power forward we have been missing for some time now. Romanov looks so mature already. I am so pumped for this season... And 29 is back in full flow. But where TF is Steve?
ReplyDeleteWe need a pic of 29 with that flow. Price-esque?
DeleteJohn Lu typo’d Anderson as a ‘powerhorse’, PH for short ?
ReplyDeleteLu is a great guy, sadly lost his sister to Covid.
Yep follow him, had some tough times this year.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI googled Power Horse and turns out it's an Austrian based energy drink.
DeleteJosCH? --SiM
DeleteDecent period. Josh Anderson will make us forget Domini pretty quickly, although I still like Max. Romanov is going to be a good one.
ReplyDeleteBig question I have is whether Cuthbert can maintain his integrity. Beats the hell out of Huge Son
ReplyDeleteSimpleton can still fuck off though, questioning that holding penalty.
ReplyDelete67% PP!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTuna !
ReplyDeleteTuna!
ReplyDeleteCzar gets an assist !
ReplyDeleteSee him walk the blueline before that? Then what a great pass!
DeleteHigh hockey IQ
DeleteOh yeah Edmundson needs a name too.
ReplyDeleteEddy for the lazy version.
Jed
Jedi
Ed for the really lazy...
DeleteThe Bastard
DeleteI like Czar for Romanov
ReplyDeleteMe too --SiM
DeleteSimpleton can fuck right off...
ReplyDeleteOuf
ReplyDeleteWell you knew the PPs were coming, but that over the boards for a full 5 on 3 was a killer.
ReplyDeleteBring it back in the 3rd boys!
Andy!
ReplyDelete4-3 !
ReplyDeleteOr Nature Boy?
ReplyDeleteSomebody got their 2nd
JosCH!!! --SiM
ReplyDeleteI feel like it's 1993 and that's John LeClair out there. JosCH Fucking Anderson! Wow. --SiM
ReplyDeleteJesus, refs! Leko tripped so blatantly. --SiM
ReplyDeleteAnd an assist on the tying goal
DeleteI'm finding myself forgetting to breathe...almost forgot what this feeling was like! Habs deserve this. They will prevail.
ReplyDeleteOT
ReplyDeleteFUCK!
ReplyDeleteone good thing pornstache didn't score.
ReplyDeleteFuck the sfu.
Lots of mistakes to fix.
ReplyDeleteCan't play run and gun, they don't have the firepower.
DeleteA good hard hitting defensive game and the leaf will wilt.
I still like the look of this team.
Fuck --SiM
ReplyDeleteStay out of the box/work on PK
ReplyDeleteMove Czar up with Petry
Reassess
Not a good game for Dano.
ReplyDeleteYou mean SloMo
