I did not know Tara Sloan was a Habs fan. She does hide it well trying to be somewhat impartial but I'm sure she is following the Rogers mandate of promoting all things leaf, she has no choice if she wants to keep her job. It's a different story for all those other fucking hacks except for ReBieska who stated way back in January that the Habs were built for the playoffs and the putrid leaf were built for the regular season. I remember he took some flak for that from some members of the SFU but was ultimately proven correct. mclame = dork, hahahrudey = bitter loser, cASSie = sheep, amber = leafool, fridgeman = purple suit moron, stewart = DAR, ReBieksa = Rebel who goes against the leaf flow.
i cant find it either, but i remember that cbc graphic and thought it was interesting. i wrote it down on a piece of paper i threw away already.
the stat was the last 5/6 teams who had more than 5/6 days between rounds, all lost their next series.
fwiw... the boys are approaching a record of consecutive minutes played w/o trailing. fwiw... the boys have now won 7 in a row. something no team has done since some team in 1993 did... fwiw... TFS has gone 4-0 this yr in elimination games upping his total over to something like 11-4?
there are other stats, but i probably threw those away in the garbage too (no need to put too much pressure on the guys...)
oh... and good for you moe! screw the M monopolising all the good nicknames.
toffolé! is awesome! i really like tyder also, but damm u now i gotta decided between the two. some of the greatest nicknames are the simplest. absolutely brilliant how you thought of such an obvious one where nobody else did
First I want a Kings of the North T shirt and will pay a fortune or at least 20 bucks for on. Second I got to get some McSplooge off my chest. I can t believe I let him get that close. He wrote of Husquivara as a rusty chain on planet killing two cyle engine. Its on tape. I think McSplooge should be in the room as the wikipecia edition. The current wisdom is we are going to be dummed by Vegas or Colorado. Well Rockey Mountian High that is a battle but if Vegas puts them out its a knife through butter for us. Vegas is like us, no talent, hard working fuckers, but there hard working fuckers have not fucked like our hard working fuckers, so we will out fuck them and meet Tampa. Do you know what a Tampex does it stops the bleeding but it does not prevent blood loss, and we are going to be a big time three period that Tampa cant soak up.
The fuck is wrong with fans in Montreal? Why do they need to turn everything into a goddamn riot? Habs haven't won shit. North Division means nothing. Kings of the North, while a cool moniker, means nothing. Win the cup, then burn your city to the ground if you must. Until then, Habs have won shit. Remember at the end there will be one winner and thirty losers.
Took me a bit to decipher this. Semi finals are based on regular season standings. Top remaining seed vs lowest remaining seed. Habs had fewest points so are 4th seed. Knights/AVS each finished with most points so whichever wins will be 1st seed.
hmmmm... is this another attempt to make MTL's path as difficult as possible?
i dont mind actually, but it would be good to get things going before the boys lose their edge. i do look forward to watching the war thats gonna be TB-BST/NYI
Reading through comments is hilarious and obviously nobody in Toronto knows that the tower is actually owned by the Feds...who happen to be run by a Habs fan at the moment😂
Tonight the #CNTower will be lit red, blue, and white for the @CanadiensMTL who will go on to represent Canada's hope for a 2021 @NHL Stanley Cup! https://t.co/cEqsXqBefZ
Watched Car/TB and now Vgs/Col and it's good hockey but I'm not seeing where the 'Habs will be crushed" narrative is coming from (aside the SFU and it's cult fanbase of course). I see the Habs competing with any of these teams. Won't go as far as to say they will win, but they certainly could win. Whichever team we see I think we will see a great series.
you disappoint me StP. they boys are playing well right now. remember at the beginning of the year somebody asked GQGM about their drop off from the bat out of hell start? what was his response?
I agree with Saint Paddy, I think if Montreal can maintain their current level of play, they can compete with either VGK or Avs. Neither team has met in over a year so there will be a feeling out process I'm sure. All three teams will be watching lots of video of each other. Looking forward to some good hockey.
My high school shop/welding teacher (from Hamilton), was the person who did the last weld at the top of the CN tower. He did it hanging upside down from a helicopter.
First the wretched, putrid leaf and now the shit-stained broonz. So happy to see those those two disgusting franchises eliminated. No more narcos dick sucking or ratface face licking.
Decided to cheer for the Nordique. Simply because I had to look it up, but found out that Vegas is in the Pacific Time Zone. That's 4 hours from here and would result in some very late games on the east coast. Colorado will be bad enough being 3 hours behind but maybe we'd get 10pm starts instead of 11 at least.
So...go Avs!
And again, to the Bruins, in my best Nelson Munce voice and finger point...Ha Ha!
You dont come here for finacial advice, and I am the worst financial adviser ever. I lost a fortune in Nortel, I could have bought beer drank it all and cashed in the cans for more money. Bitcoin is a pet rock
So Habs finish a 7-game series, and two days later start their series against a well-rested (too well?) Winnipeg. Vegas finishes a 6-game series and gets 4 days off, giving the Habs a week off after dispatching Winnipeg. The NHL must be digging up those stats about longer breaks being detrimental to teams. We’ll show ‘em.
dammit. really? they not bumping fwd the start?! this is exactly why i didnt want the boys to sweep the jets! its not fair! and yes... i had in mind that stat you referenced also. this is garbage. another example of the house stacking their odds even more!
And he gives no fucks about the Canadian teams that actually keep his desert team alive in Arizona. There is no reason this series shouldn't be starting Saturday night, but the league gives the Showers extra time AND by starting TB/NYI on Sunday, that gives them the prime Saturday timeslot for their game 4, which all of America will be tuning into, I'm sure...
That tracks. Anyway, the delay might make the difference in a safe larger crowd attending at the Phone Booth, so maybe Geoff pulled some strings, actually.
Q: What do you call 20 millionaires around a TV watching the Stanley Cup playoffs? A: The Toronto Maple Leafs.
Q: How do you keep the Maple Leafs out of your yard? A: Put up a goalie net.
Q: What do you call a Toronto Maple Leaf with a Stanley Cup ring? A: Very old or a thief.
Q: What do the Maple Leafs, Argonauts and Blue Jays all have in common besides being based in Toronto? A: None of them can play hockey.
Q: What do the Leafs and the Titanic have in common? A: They both look good, until they hit the ice!
Q: What's the difference between the Maple Leafs and a cigarette vending machine? A: The vending machine has Players.
Q: What do the Maple Leafs and whales have in common? A: They both get totally confused when surrounded by ice.
Q: How many Maple Leafs does it take to win a Stanley Cup? A: Nobody knows ... And we may never find out!
And finally ...: The last time the Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup, most of their fans were in diapers. Coincidentally, the next time they win it, those same fans likely will be back in diapers, again!
Can you imagine the leaf compost that would be getting shoved down our throats at every turn if they made it here instead of the Habs. No other sport would exist. You'll be hard pressed in the other hand to find anything Hab related on the 'national' media sites. And you know what? I'm fine with that. Forget about them. Underestimate them. We'll just let their play do the talking for them.
I wonder how much time 'the panel' will spend discussing how Vegas can beat Montreal? I say 75% but moe can time it better than me. I also say cuthurt and simpleton will be cheering on the golden peepees.
I imagine there will be much love for Stone. Honestly, this will not likely be our year, unless Fleury starts feeling his age. I feel Vegas is a tough-D team of a slightly higher grade than us, but "built for the playoffs" like us. Only our depth could save us.
I actually think the Habs can beat Vegas. It will be a very close series as they are two similar built teams. I don't think they can beat Tampa, and not so much because of their forwards but Vasilevsky. Plus their mega defence with two former Habs first round picks, McDonut and CHevy. The Islanders though? Hell yes!
I just watched Captain Fantastic starring noted Habs aficionado Viggo Mortensen on Netflix and highly recommend it. I love when child actors put on amazing performances, and this... wow. It camd out in 2016 and I don't know how I missed it.
We are all giddy but none of us is Getty Lee, so stop singing start thinking of the road we must travel togehher as brothers od tghe 4F no matter what it means, no matter what it meant, we are here together at a hisoric mommment where we do not have an automan as CHoach. We are living with key centers whou would are as like ask your self at 21 how complete where you? I could go intok
Can't wait to see the next list of predictions by the 'experts'!

My flawless prediction, we meet Vegas and have a little less conversation and a lot more action and cool then in 5.
ReplyDeleteCN Tower is lit up in bleu/blanc/rouge in support of the Habs and leaf fans are losing their shit. This will never get old.
ReplyDeleteReading through comments is hilarious and obviously nobody in Toronto knows that the tower is actually owned by the Feds...who happen to be run by a Habs fan at the moment😂
