WOW!! Great end of season AND Sexy Friday thread!! Thank you brother moe (and Saint Paddy) for keeping this blog alive after all these years. It's a great place for Habs fans to vent and commune in peace without any leafool riff raff bothering us. Please keep this one for commenting on the expansion draft, amateur draft and free agency and any habs news in general. I want to look at these pics for a while yet. Merci.
I think the current Anaheim coach, Dallas Eakins, is on thin ice. Joel probably saw an opportunity there as Lucky CHarms as probably sewed up the Habs gig for at least 3 years. When DD eventually gets fired JB will be ready to step in.
You would know the Montreal media better than me but I don't know if they should be lumped in with the Hab-hating tranna media. I just know that engels is a bettman boot licker, maybe the rest of them are just not very good at their jobs? I have seen other commenters say flynn is just disgruntled all the time. He thinks the Habs can't do anything right?
im still seething angry and still havent come to terms guys. im also not interested in congratulating eachother on 1st runner up pick-me-up moments. sorry.
i just wanna give cred to the chart showing the boys with the 12th most series wins since 2005-06. i was thinking why 2005-06 was significant and then i noticed why. hahhahhahhahahha! omg so funnie...
STILL FREAKING ANGRY! ... but still worth a mention you trollmaster!
DGMB has some Sophie CHoices to make, here is what I would do Expose the Druid, likely he will not go but it saves another We are going to lose Jake Allen unless we make a side deal, make the side deal Sign The first Joel to 3 m for 7 years KOHO is rfa sign him long time at 5 per year CHomadore, sorry bud but its three years a league min for you Danno, 5 mill for 8 years done call Steve to confirm Leko, 2.5 for 8 Thats all the GM I can do the rest my assistants will handle
For the first time in many years I actually think the Montreal Canadiens will take a step forward towards being a legitimate contender. Suzuki, KoHo, Cole, Josh, Tyler, Lep, Phil, Armia are all Top 6 forwards. 7vens and Leko will be joined by some fresh youngsters like Poehling and Ylonen. Corey Perry can add a veteran presence somewhere in the lineup with managed minutes. Same as Weber, manage his minutes, add another legit D as Norlinder figures things out in Laval. Jordan Harris will be ready when the NCAA season is over in '22. And of course, Mr. Jake Allen will give Mr. Price the proper rest he needs in an 82 game season. I really like what I see for the future. I see Montreal and Ottawa as rising teams next season. Boston's window is closing, Florida will have goalie issues, the cheaters will have to cut some players loose to be cap compliant, the Sabres will be bottom feeders and the putrid leaf, well we know how that usually shakes out.
the joke will be the putrid leaf and the blue white disease of the county club forwards. The leaf are the mirror image of the privgiged city. Dont work make money. Montreal has had to work hard since all the anglos left.
A season ending worthy sexy Friday Mr moeman! Congrats and thanks for all the hard work and especially keeping the SFU in their place.
I echo most of what has already been said so leave it at that. I also echo kidA's feelings as I've mentioned many times. There is only one winner and finishing second isn't good enough, we need a cup to celebrate. And our window is currently open. Looking forward to an interesting off season.
Well it was epic. It smelled like 93. I'm heartened by the balance. The young the old the grumpy. I love our speed when we use it. I can't help but think that we had a 5.5 million sniper just walk away at a time when every CH stood tall, took concussions and beatings in front of the net for that extra inch that is needed in the playoffs. Just to go on record with a hearty fuck you to that russian piece of shit who shit on our fans. We have long memories and you'll be in the Bell Centre soon enough. Hopefully DGMB will be able to keep the gang together once the Kraken is done and I'm anxious about off season acquisitions. It just might appear that MTL might be a cool place to play. I'm happy for Dano. Back in Chester's day there was always a checking line and preventing a goal is just as important as scoring one. I'm interested in camp this year. Our team is balanced and without glaring holes with a mixed bag of newbies in Laval. Poeling must be close and Norlander is spose to be a rough cut gem in the works, and who knows what can be done with Druid and his cap hit Jack Eichel looks very good to me. Anyway as the sun sets my sincere thanks to Moeman for this place. A place for rabid Habbies and great tits. A perfect combo if there ever was one. Salu le visit. Go Habs
Well said Chester, especially about the tits! I suspect you and I are relatively close in age - I never got to see the Rocket play - but you are right about the checkers. Provost, Larose, Jimmy Roberts, Gainey, Carbo, right down the line. I think bergy will find JD a new home, hopefully for a young vet pmd. I'd stay away from Eichel I think he might be another problem child.
uk3x: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRuEsQGBhd0&list=TLPQMTEwNzIwMjEkfLVpQ5jazQ&index=5 if you guys won, the world would be a lesser place. so... forza italia! the entire free world is relying upon you boys!
I'l chime in here if I may. I have worries this off-season. I worry that the gm doesn't make a side deal to protect Allen. I worry he wastes a save by protecting Drouin. I 100% have no idea if he should re-sign Dano. I hope he re-sgns Perry. Not interested in Staal Gus or Merril. DD is still the wrong coach and I am sad they let Bouchard go - he was the right coach. That first pic on this blog is awesome - but it needed the Cup in the frame too...I worry that the moment in time it captured was it...their time was then...I hope I'm wrong but I still worry.
On a more upbeat note, this season has been like no other and this blog, as always is a highlight of my day - especially as I've been working from home through it all. So thanks as always Moeman and thanks to your very own Jake Allen - St. Pad- we wouldn't be here without you!
Oh - and one last thing...I worry about Steve :) #GYFHG
BTW - it would remiss of me not to mention some of the most stunning "artwork" on a thread in a while, with special mention going to the pic above the Cup winners table...My my my...
The dream is dead. Sens nab McSplooge. Ken Holland appears in a giving mood with that Keith trade. MB should give him a call. I don't expect McDavid but maybe Leon? 😬
Working on a potential road trip to Ottawa in August. Apparently Ontario will let anybody in. Get the 🍻 ready Moe
I dont want to full 10 meter diving board with Mcsplooge. I allege he is an ecomisit from a school to one. He knows the cost of everything but the value of nothing.
I was thinking it'd be nice to have some hockey through the summer, when is that leaf "All or Nothing" show coming out? I just can't wait, I'll be on the edge of my seat wondering which it will be. All? Or nothing? We just don't know...
ok brothers... im here now. watching that meme video about it coming home, talking to all my british friends in british columbia finally made me come to terms and admit defeat. it still hurts guys. really it does.
i just watched this vid from urinating tree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K8XFIF2eYI&list=TLPQMTMwNzIwMjHNQIr0l0O8Dg&index=1
i love his blunt honesty. absolutely love his unfiltered foul mouth. i swear he embodies the best of this blog. ff to the last 45 secs. when all of this was happening realtime, i too came to his same conclusion. alas... disappointment rings true for all things bleu, blanc, rouge these days eh?
Congratulations to Lucky DuCHarme - interim in truth (as any headcoach is) but in title no longer. May he bring home three Cups over these three years, and may we be able to hang onto Lucky Luke Richarddon for just as long.
I take back the dumb as rocks comments. Any good boss shows patience, as he did (except with Kid Koho at the end, whose benching over the last two games remains slightly mysterious to me.
I saw this earlier today - LTIR might be an option but looks like the league has to review it too - if he retires it will cost Nashville a packetload...and yes - it does make the Entry draft more interesting but it would be a shame if it ends his career. Isn't this roughly how Tampa got so far over the cap - LTIR for BBQ then bring BBQ back for the playoffs next year Get well BBQ!
Wow, too bad about the Captain, that changes the water on the beans as we like to say in the Maritimes.
It frees up nearly 8 million in cap space, bergy should be able to get a decent replacement on D or, work Steve's man Flurry into the lineup over the season.
My golf buddy (a fellow Habs fan) had a juicy rumor yesterday: Supposedly Ilya Kovalchuk has told Ovechkin he should sign a 3 year deal with Montreal to pursue Gretzky's goals record.
I'm all for that! Imagine how the sfu and leafools would react!
I'm seeing more evidence that the tampon bay dolts are a bunch of classless assholes, possibly even worse than leafools. Especially that Russian douchebag. They are a bunch of fucking cheaters.
BBQ will go on LTR, he played a whole season on a ankle that could not support Twiggy. He will be back for the playoff run and after that its over. BBQ first ballot hall of fame, yes. He is one of those players that never raised the cup so far, never one the norris but is acknowledged as the best D men of his time. We won the Subban Trade in spades. PFK had a couple of good to great seasons with Nashville and now his is a pinball.
Lots of chatter about there on the Weber situation. One very interesting one involves trading him to Nashville so they avoid the cap recapture when he retires. I don't know if that's how that works but if so, Maybe Ekholm?
Are you kidding? There is no way the Habs ever get Ovie - BB's ego couldn't even handle a rookie superstar in the making(PFK) never mind a seasoned, guaranteed HOF player - they are a rare breed of player that he does not relate to or understand - it will never happen.
Finding it interesting (not really) how much concern the SFU has for BBQ's/Habs situation.
Like they fucking care and all they prefer to do is drop moronic mediot rumours which helps them rile up their fanbase of leafools. The same ones that have denigrated the Habs season.
The SFU are worried that mb will have lots of cap space to sign a star player that the leaf cannot even though leafools think they can sign anyone and everyone.
Maybe they are talking a language of insiders ie he only skates 25 KPH when he needs to hit sixty Bourgault has a quick, accurate shot, and does a good job of getting into positions to use it, but it’s not one that will often beat NHL goaltenders clean. He excels more in the playmaking department, ranking as one of the top draft-eligible players in shot assists,. The question is whether his average skating stride and low physicality will allow him the space to pull off those shots and passes as he advances to professional hockey.
I'm not even slightly interested in who the Habs would pick at #30. Now if mb were to package up some picks and prospects to move up into the top 5, sure.
Tamapa has made us look like Tampons when drafting the pure wool bloodline. They have harvested our UTES over a significant time period. If we had every pure wool in the Tampa pool we could sign Danno for 5 max. I think he is worth 5, but First Joel Armnia. If you are in the playoffs who is more valuable, obviously Danno. However, anyone can shadow and check, few can go to the net.
Jake the snake is a Kraken, lets see how that works out. Kraken hate snakes. We have seeen, I say again we have seen, we have seen the glory of a Stanley cup run and the fingerprints of one Larry Robinson are all over it. What he did in St Lou did not make us blue, it made us blue blanc and rouge. Puck moving d men work well in the first season, but in the show you plow and hurt and do not make a mistake. Fancy boys may dance on ice but they are crushed when the ice is smaller because of the willingness of every one to make the ultimate sacrifice. In the regulars season I know players dont give a fuck. How do I know this. Well I work for a living and I get a paycheck and if I work soft or hard, the bank dont care, I get the same cheque.
According to insidredger, things aren't looking good for the Captain. Hopefully he recovers from whatever is going on and can play again. He's got a lot of hard miles on his body.
Next week is going to be big for the Habs, bergy and we fans. Even if Weber is shut down for the year, there is a strong core to work with. A left PMD and a veteran sniper to augment young CC and replace JD is probably high on bergy's to do list. I think Phil will re-sign in Montreal. I think the Snake stays. The Seattle Crappin' will take 7Evans would be my guess.
Wow, if Lebrun is right they have left Carey unprotected. If true I think this is one of: -they have a deal in place with Seattle - they are banking on Seattle not taking on that contract - they asked Carey if he's interested in the possibility of moving his family back near his and his wife's home
It's really interesting. IF the Kraken take Price AND if Weber and Drouin are off the books, that is $23M or so for MB to reCHarge the team with. Could be a very interesting couple of weeks.
Does Jerry Bruckheimer want to fork over $11 million to Carey this September? That's the signing bonus but I don't know if there is salary on top of that or not. I don't think Seattle takes him, they are very high on Dreidger from Florida who put up way better numbers than Carey and will sign for much less. Plus, Bishflop is available as well as a number of other capable backups.
Very clever move of DBGB is leave TFS in the wind. If the Kraken take him DBGB wins medium term, if they dont take him he wins another CHance for a Stanley cup run next year.
I dont think the Kraken take him because they dont want to be winning for a couple of years, Francis knows the Pissers may have launched from the gate, but they have set themselves up for decades of mediocrity without a real shot at the prize in the initial Fleury.. The way to win the cup is to get a franchise forward and D man, hope you get lucky or buy yourself a nice tandem. The Kracken will take Byron for his leadership skills or Cale Fleury. You noticed how Flurey disappeared this year, no showcasing nothing.
If the Kracken do take TFS I bet we take Flopping Freddy from Toronto as a UFA. Dougie Hamilton as a UFA. Tarasenko in a Druid trade and we keep half his cap hit.
Lots of theories about what happens with Price out there on the interwebs. Sure, he might cause more Kraken jersey sales but he won't sell anymore tickets, I think they are sold out regardless. I think Francis looks at it but in the end he'll take a pass. Ronnie has said cap space is king these days, I don't think he wants 13% of it tied up on one goalie. Dreidger is 27 and coming into his prime and there are other younger guys out there available. Price is also injury prone as is well known with bad knees.
I think Kulak is the guy unless Francis has had the opportunity to speak with Drouin and is convinced he can get past his personal issues and believes heat he can be a very good top 6 forward for years to come.
1. Shea Weber could be finished career-wise. 2. Carey Price could be off to Seattle or several months on LTIR. 3. Jonathan Drouin could tie up $5.5 million in cap space in perpetuity. 4. Phil Danault has his underwear in a knot because mb won't pay him Patrice Bergeron money and is fucking off.
I was having lunch a day last week at the City Market when an acquaintance of Mrs. Maritimer was walking by and commented to me that the Habs would be back in the Finals again next year. I remarked they would be lucky to make the playoffs. His look was priceless. I said: one step forward, two steps back. I keep my expectations low. I may be proven correct.
I personally think the whole Weber and Price injury bit is a big Fuck You to Bettman and the league because of how TB fucked them with the Kucherov scam and being $18M over
I think TFS stays and the take the kid. If they take TFS I say its a double edged sword. The fact is we were not close to beating Tampa, so what does it really matter, the cup is everything, we are not worthy right now.
My Twitter says Dano to the Kraken for 8 years at 5.8m/season. If that is true (big if right now) - good on Dano - cause no one else is gonna pay him like that.
I agree with Saint Paddy, I think it's going to be Kulak or Fleury. Inexpensive contracts and young mobile defencemen are easily flipped if need be. There is an outside chance for Drouin. No way will Ron Francis take an aging worn out goalie with that contract. SFU bullshit.
i think it was StP who said it first and best: either way im ok with carey's fate
i think it would be smart for seattle to take him
i think carey's play would be re-energised going to seattle so he could destroy the canucks more often, yield to his wife's life in the 2nd half of his career, escape the microscope of mtl...
i actually WANT seattle to take him. i could live with this cup run as careys peak. sorry guys...
i would love to see some wacky deal where the habs lose salary, lose declining assets and come out somehow instantly stronger thru trades/propects/side deals... but in the end,
As much as we make fun of the torontosportsnetwork, they are by far more professional than the rank amateur dog's breakfast sportsnet clown show. Thank goodness that tsn, along with CBC Gem, have acquired the broadcast rights to CHL hockey games taking them away from that fucking shitshow. I actually feel sorry for the CBC employees who got drug into that mess when Rogers bought the NHL rights. I can't wait to see the Saint John Sea Dogs presented on TV in a professional manner. We may even get the Memorial Cup in 2022. That would be so great.
I imagine Ron Francis felt like stabbing himself in the eye during that whole ordeal. I tuned in 3 times for a grand total of 15 minutes or so. What a shitshow that was. What I saw of it anyway. Agree if this is the best ESPN had to offer then wow. Habs legend Dominic Moore ain't saving that.
And yes about Drouin. If I had his ear I'd recommend disconnecting from all social media and paying zero attention to 'mainstream' media. We would all probably be better off if we followed that advice.
I tuned into TSN for kicks. Actually opened on the Weber news for about a minute then spent nearly 10 talking about Zach Hyman. They're truly pathetic.
I heard the Druid is back. and fixed, whatever it was I am happy to see him make one last run at fulfilling his tremendous potential. If he can be a 60 point player going forward thats a win win.
BBQ will be missed but if we can rebuild him... if we have the technology,,, yes, perhzps pulling a Kucherov come playoff time would be an outside chance. Then we'll have to change his nick to Steve Austin.
I hope Dano doesn't go anywhere.
I hope the Druid is okay, but what a weird thing if and when he gets back. Maybe it can be deemed a mental injury and all will be perfectly fine. Or maybe it wil be awkward as hell for him and teammates. A true test for DuCHarme and Captain Lep.
And no TFS in the same vein as BBQ until the playoffs? Perhaps. But I do want Dano and CHommodore back. GYFHG
Replace Weber with Rasmus from Buffalo. I think 7Evans is ready to replace Phil, EAP will step into the 4C hole and see if you can get Tarasenko to come to Montreal with an unlimited pass to CHez Paris. The Snake and a cheap backup can hold the fort until CP31 is good to go. Winner!
I salute the renamed MLB team, The Cleveland Guardians. Tom Hanks' narration on the promo vid makes it a okay. But neglecting to include a nod to Klinger seems like a missed opportunity.
If the blackhawks go it more political correctness run amok to me. The Indians was questionable, not really offensive to me, but I an not the plaintiff or the Judge. However to say the blackhawks discrimate or humulate the native peoples is hard for me to accept.
I suspect MB has eyes for Seth Jones. He'd be expensive considering what Philthy gave up for Risto. I don't want Dougie Hamilton, he seems like the type not to do well in big markets.
Jones won't come to Montreal or Canada. His brother Caleb played for the Oilers and his mom hated it up here. He's now in Chicago and I suspect Seth his headed to Dallas.
I say no to Hamilton as well, he didn't fare well in Calgary.
Maybe Alec Martinez? I'm sure bergy has some irons in the fire, maybe we find out tonight. Virtual draft again to night, no one gets to boo the littlest commissioner. He got his desserts Wed. night in Seattle.
WOW! OEL and Conor Garland (I like him) to Van for the 9th pick tonight and a ton of washed up hockey players. Arizona are going for the No. 1 pick in 2022, I can't remember if that is Conor Bedard or Shane Wright.
I guess David Savard is the name out there linked to the Habs. I forgot about the Jones' opinion on playing in Canada. MB said a lot of players are unwilling to do so due to taxes and tougher Covid restrictions among other things.
The FUCktard payed a bundle for RIsto Russolini. We should have topped them. We have 3 finns and it takes at least four Finns to build a Shield Wall. I suggest we take a women Finn hockey player to complete the wall.
Well, at least the NHL Network has some competent people working for them. I don't know the MC guy but Constantino, Kevin Weekes and Jeff Gorton know what they are talking about. I don't think I can make it to the Habs pick, the 12 year Tomatino single malt is kicking in. I'm recording so I can catch up in the morning.
Can't wait to see how the organization reacts today to the great horrified reaction to the Mailloux pick. I had not been paying close attention to this draft. It seems he videod himself getting a BJ from an 18-year-old female in a consensual act, but then shared the video with teammates, adding a pic identifying her, and paid repercussions in Sweden. He apologized and is taking it as a learning experience. Not exactly the classiest move by a team that is typically the classiest of the league. Or is the knee-jerking I see actually another tempest in a teapot? Seems like a guy boasting to his friends and not getting how it would create consequences for the other party, and hiw wrong it was. But if we don't move him ASAP, it'll be something the media around the team will never let go. I hope Geoff and Bergevin know what they're doing here.
17 year olds do stupid things with their phones. I hear we still want to bring the alleged racist D man from NY to the team as well. Our alternate uni next year will be silver and black. What is it with these Swedish women, first Assange and now Mailloux? I trust the organization.
I am giving them the benefit of the doubt for the moment. Tons of hot takes going off right now. It was a single POV pic, not a video, but she was not nude in it, reportedly. A really bad thing to have taken the shot and shared it without her consent, for which Swedish court found him guilty of defamation. He zppears to be showing contrition, but the other party is reportedly not terribly impressed with the apology she got in some text messages that were added to the court record.
He might be guilty of being disrespectful and stupid as fuck in a new environment at the age of 17. The CH braintrust - assuming we can still call it that - don't seem to be as troubled by his character. Mailloux is gamely being trotted out before the blood-smelling media stone-casters later. This is a huge test for the organization. Seems they really believe in the adversity thing. So much, they'll bring it on themselves if they have to!
It seems a helluva lot of fans are expressing extreme disgust over this. As part of a marketing team, the damage to the brand is already significant, and that means there will be repercussions, no matter what the next move is. But as they say, the first thing to do when you're in a hole is to stop digging.
I can't believe that Molson allowed this to happen. Did he have forehand knowledge? Terrible, terrible choice for a team that built up so much good will over the last two months. They need to do what Arizona did a couple years ago and rescind the pick. Like, this morning. Actually, bergevin and timmins should be fired. Jean Beliveau is rolling in his grave.
Geoff Molson would have been informed, surely. They had the statement out and translated right away. Huge fail on the PR side? Idk. The kid seems contrite, but the media and fanbase haven't had enough time to digest the whole sordid tale before being expected to forgive and hell him move on. And they forgot to show more respect to the woman involved, thus revictimizing her. Someone should've waved the red flag.
In english and french. He seems to get it. I think he's already made strides understanding how shitty he was, and is likdly maturing greatly from the experience. Sounded like a decent guy actually, and pretty ashamed of himself.
I can't imagine that Bettman was too pleased about that last night. Gotta think he had a conversation with Molson about it. As a Habs fan of over 60 years I'm embarrassed.
I can't fathom why bergevin, a man who supposedly values character above all else, would decide to pick a young person who used his position of 'celebrity' and privilege to acquire sexual favours and then boasts about it on social media. I'm not saying it doesn't occur with other hockey players, it surely does. But this was a documented incident where the person was charged and convicted. Why would you put that stain on the Canadiens brand? Lots of women who cover the Canadiens are mortified and offended by this. I don't give a fuck if this kid is the 2nd coming of Shea Weber, you don't pick him. Period. Geoff Molson needs to step in here and get that pick rescinded immediately.
I'm offended by this. I'll NEVER cheer for this privileged brat, I hope he never makes it to pro hockey.
I can agree with that, ;like who was at 31. It was a self iflected wound for no real reason ulness the is the next Victor Hedman who comes from Sweden and we must assume been blowen so this guy better be Larry Robinson on ice. Not even in the same area code off ice.
Maritmer Kidney (nic:Bean) has promise. Kapanen from a hockey family, wait and see product. I think Roy might be a long shot but could be a 3rd/4th line C in a few years if he works hard enough.
Rumours about Habs interest in Eichel - true or not only MB and TT really know. But if true what Buffalo is asking for, take a hard pass. He seems really over values. He is a less than point per game player. At $10M I want a guy that's putting up 100 points, isn't injured and isn't a dick if you want the vault opened in return.
Echiel sorry a son of tricky dicky. waah waah waah. He has a trick neck whats going to happen in the playoffs a place he has never even imagined. I honestly like the sex offender better as a reclaim.
I can't put it in any better words than Jack. https://montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/nhl/hockey-inside-out/jack-todd-the-habs-had-a-chance-to-do-the-right-thing-they-failed
I laid off bergevin this past season. He pulled off some great moves getting some legitimate talent on his roster. All that good will was thrown out the window with one stupid, unnecessary decision. According to JT Timmins was complicit with the pick. I think Jack is right, these two think with their biceps instead of their brains.
IF: Mailloux is truly repentant IF: He and the Canadiens organiztion team up with the CHL to spearhead an initiative (like, creating a program) that educates the players on sex ed, social media bullying, understanding sexual harassment and the hsrms it causes, etc. IF: Mailloux continues on his apparently enlightened course and takes on women's issues, countering domestic violence, raising money for women's shelters and champions feminism...
They may (with time) be able to turn this PR shit show around.
(I was going to suggest making amends to the Swedish woman at the centre of the incident, but she's been through enough, so if anything more still needs to be done for her, maybe do it quietly and privately.)
And they would certainly do themselves a favour bringing some women into the head office to help them avoid kicking themselves in the nads like this in future.
I think the young man is repentant. I think he can and will improve himself immensely. He needs a lot of support, a lot. Yes the Habs need a major influx of female persuasion, professionalism and perspective. A lot of great candidates out there. I really feel for the Habs player's wives and female relatives/friends. I still hope they rescind the pick as the pressure is too great today, tomorrow and for a long fucking while.
I think she is a good choice as well and has been shortlisted many times. However the reason for that surely was she does not speak French. For me this is a non starter. Her back story may power her through this wall, but I hope she is the last GG who does not speak French day one.
Patrick Kane, do I have to go down the list of absoulte mistakes made by players in the NHL. So this guy is not even in the NHL. I will be honest, I never talked about my teenage sexual exploits, because I had none, but my friends who were scoring gave a play by play. ADD vIDEO AND ITS 2021. Was this right or wrong obviously wrong, but if you want to change human nature, look to the USSR, they did a lot but failed misrely.
``As a lifelong Habs fan, I have to say I am deeply disappointed by the decision. I think it was a lack of judgment by the Canadiens organization,'' Trudeau told reporters in Moncton N.B. ``I think they have a lot of explaining to do, to Montrealers and to fans from right across the country.''
My last words on this. Habs have explained that they are going to work with the victim and with the player. Everyone needs to chill the fuck out, let the healing happen and deal with the hockey side of it later. Player has done the crime been found guilty and paid a price. Victim has received an apology which she has not accepted - her right to do so. Habs have promised to do all they can. Player has promised to do all he can. Let's all see what happens before condemning everyone. Surely the pm has more important things to worry about. If this had of happened in the country he is supossed to be in charge of no one would even know about it so please for fuck sake can all the self important know it alls and self righteous media just STFU about it, let them sort it out as they have said they will and let the victim start to repair and lead a normal life.
I'm confused by this. It's the kind of a story that everybody can get indignant about and jump on the holier than thou bus. You can tell by the immediate reaction of the bottom feeder politicians trying to get some political mileage. There's something to be said about paying your dues to society when you have wronged, been caught and paid for it. There's also something to be said about an adult woman sucking off a minor. Kinda think that side of it got a little lost by everybody scrambling for the high road. DGMB and The Trevor man did their job. Pick the best guy when it's your turn in the draft. I don't think morality comes with the office. That is Geoff The Molson's job. The hockey guys did their job. I feel for the kid. I don't feel for the adult woman praying on minors. I believe in this country that would land her in jail, with the picture prob used as evidence against her. So I stand confused. Glad it's not my problem. Go Habs
Well we did not get the redneck he went to Carolina, now that is something to ponder? We are not getting Dougie Hamilton and unless Buffalo takes Kid Ko and a couple of draft picks we are not getting Eichel either. Dennis Savard, and lets take a long shot at Landensburg, to bad he was not Finnish.
We got a new lens with witch to look at the Druid. Simone Bels and Osaka. These are players at the top of their game that look like Gretsky compared to the Druid. Yet they have been crushed by the same alleged pressures. The utes cant handle the pressure, thats my conclusion, and who brought up these utes, well not the parents for sure.
Can I add, being the Gretzky of rhythmic gymnastics is not quite the same as being the womens number one at Tennis or the top assist man for the Habs. I consider what I do with hanging ankle inverted straps and oven mits to be world class rhythmic gymnastics, and I will never get a medal and I feel no pressure.
I think Danno should now say, okay Steve and sign for 4 and be happy. I mean its hard but not rocket science to be a shadow. I am the shadow, and a rocket scientist
Hey the Avs have 7 x 7 on the deck for Gabriel, can we call him Horn. We counter with 7 x 8 math is hard Colorado, your towns burning anyway due to climate change, but Montreal, we got it all baby more water than a billion breaking mothers and a climate that makes you think of Sweden.
All right Geoff. So you release a statement at Noon on UFA frenzy day. Whatever. You know that's just another big FU to all your fans that have been offended over this, and doubles down on the callousness of your whole team Head(less) Office. Way to prove what a POS you've made this team. Reminds me how an American meat-packer owner who knew dick-all about hockey zt least understood the value of the CH and chreished and nurtured it.
I'm in agreement with SiM. It's still bad optics all around. I'm still unhappy and I am hoping that the sponsors who are questioning this decision pull the plug. Molson can say all he wants that the kid is sorry, what else is he going to say? I'm not buying what Molson is selling, literally and figuratively. No Habs merchandise and no beer. We will have to respectfully disagree with our FHF colleague UK3X on this matter. As far as I'm concerned, Montreal's first pick this year was Riley Kidney, a young man from Nova Scotia playing for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in northern N.B. The other guy doesn't exist.
If Molson, dickhead and Timmins think by keeping this guy out of the rookie and main training camps that people will forget who he is and what he did, they are dead wrong.
They haven't really acknowledged that theyhave a problem themselves yet. Maybe Mailloux snd his "lady" pzychologist can enlighten them in time, but first you have toadmit when you have an attitude that needs adjusting. I think Molson's tone shows that he is taking the heat but doesn't fully understand why.
Maybe a private chit-chat with Angela Price, Sophie-Gregoire Trudeau, Anna Gainey, and Kate Telford might help.
This time last year, I was assigned to write up a reaction to BLM on behalf of my employer. My boss saved my job by not sending it up the chain. It was revolutionary. It would have meant putting forth a commitment to spearheading real change in a white-msle-dominated industry. (Y'all know I classify as such, right?)
Anyhoo, the path to Star-Trek-like enlightenment is definitely a long one, and real change only comes when there is true investiture of the powers that be (not necessarily the same thing as the hoi polloi - in fact negligibly so at this juncture).
But the more noise we make about it, the better the chances we move as a society in the right direction.
I suspect Phil Danault is another victim of media pressure on the local guy. They sort of hounded him last year during his long goalless drought. The french media have to realize that none of these young men are the second coming of Richard, Cournoyer or Lafleur. All the best to Phil in L.A., Luc Robitaille will welcome him with open arms.
He coulda stayed and had a mammoth pizza deal! Having no eyes or ears in the locker room, there was a big gap in what the sports journos were able to dig into inre: "in the room" stuff over the past 16 months. LA is a place where shy French Québec hockey players go to escape the relentless pressure. He wad an outstanding Hab though, and he willnot be easily replaced. Thanks for everything, Dano! Truly.
Too much going on for a cognitive thought. I want to focus of Mike Hoffman. I nick him VODOO or VCH for Voodo Hab. This guy is allergy a bonnie and Clyde cancer in the room. Perhaps Bergy has perfected keep to your own lane in the room. On the ice I love it for a team that can not score, one more weapon, one more thing you cant defend against.
Busy work day followed by 4 hours of lugging gravel for my new yard paths. My last statement on the draft fiasco: the Three Amigos still don't get it. This isn't about what the kid did! It is about their tone deaf nature on the issue, the fact the kid asked for a year to redeem himself which they ignored and the male privilege on all sides of the issue which they clearly don't see.. Moe and others have said it best. The team is in dire need of an estrogen infusion and he has suggested some ideal candidates. The end.
Draft Day is pre 2020 MB perfection, lots of dumpster diving, some Quebecois. And some questionable characters. Good stuff.
Still hope to see Perry back.
And I wonder if he's still looking at trade possibilities to use BBQs cap overage?

WOW!! Great end of season AND Sexy Friday thread!! Thank you brother moe (and Saint Paddy) for keeping this blog alive after all these years. It's a great place for Habs fans to vent and commune in peace without any leafool riff raff bothering us. Please keep this one for commenting on the expansion draft, amateur draft and free agency and any habs news in general. I want to look at these pics for a while yet. Merci.
ReplyDeleteThanks theM. , unless it goes over 200, the thread remains.
DeleteI too would like to give St. Pad kudos for so many great assists and some beauty game day goals of his own.
Merci to all FHFriends that stuck/stick around. What a wonderful ride this season was.
Peace and love to all, have a great summer, be well, be safe and be good.
Also, too, thanks to everything Joel Bouchard did for the organization and his coaching/mentorship with the Laval Rockets.
ReplyDeleteYes but why did he leave in a lateral move, this is disturbing
DeleteI think the current Anaheim coach, Dallas Eakins, is on thin ice. Joel probably saw an opportunity there as Lucky CHarms as probably sewed up the Habs gig for at least 3 years. When DD eventually gets fired JB will be ready to step in.
DeleteGood insight, but the next coach better not be the next guy at the benCH when DGMB works out. Like the first useless tit he laCHed on to.
DeleteEnd of season Q&A and commentary is very revealing that there's a lot of sfu in the Montreal media;
ReplyDeleteSome of the worst are;
norman flynn
dany dube
eric engels
arpon basu
stu cowan
...
Such fucking stupid, gutter-level questions and reactions.
I've always appreciated that Habs players, when a Hab, have been taught to be classy, always.
DeleteOur young players have more class than most of the mediots, combined.
You would know the Montreal media better than me but I don't know if they should be lumped in with the Hab-hating tranna media. I just know that engels is a bettman boot licker, maybe the rest of them are just not very good at their jobs? I have seen other commenters say flynn is just disgruntled all the time. He thinks the Habs can't do anything right?
Deleteim still seething angry and still havent come to terms guys. im also not interested in congratulating eachother on 1st runner up pick-me-up moments. sorry.
ReplyDeletei just wanna give cred to the chart showing the boys with the 12th most series wins since 2005-06. i was thinking why 2005-06 was significant and then i noticed why. hahhahhahhahahha! omg so funnie...
STILL FREAKING ANGRY! ... but still worth a mention you trollmaster!
DGMB has some Sophie CHoices to make, here is what I would do
ReplyDeleteExpose the Druid, likely he will not go but it saves another
We are going to lose Jake Allen unless we make a side deal, make the side deal
Sign The first Joel to 3 m for 7 years
KOHO is rfa sign him long time at 5 per year
CHomadore, sorry bud but its three years a league min for you
Danno, 5 mill for 8 years done call Steve to confirm
Leko, 2.5 for 8
Thats all the GM I can do the rest my assistants will handle
For the first time in many years I actually think the Montreal Canadiens will take a step forward towards being a legitimate contender. Suzuki, KoHo, Cole, Josh, Tyler, Lep, Phil, Armia are all Top 6 forwards. 7vens and Leko will be joined by some fresh youngsters like Poehling and Ylonen. Corey Perry can add a veteran presence somewhere in the lineup with managed minutes. Same as Weber, manage his minutes, add another legit D as Norlinder figures things out in Laval. Jordan Harris will be ready when the NCAA season is over in '22. And of course, Mr. Jake Allen will give Mr. Price the proper rest he needs in an 82 game season. I really like what I see for the future. I see Montreal and Ottawa as rising teams next season. Boston's window is closing, Florida will have goalie issues, the cheaters will have to cut some players loose to be cap compliant, the Sabres will be bottom feeders and the putrid leaf, well we know how that usually shakes out.
ReplyDeletethe joke will be the putrid leaf and the blue white disease of the county club forwards. The leaf are the mirror image of the privgiged city. Dont work make money. Montreal has had to work hard since all the anglos left.
DeleteA season ending worthy sexy Friday Mr moeman! Congrats and thanks for all the hard work and especially keeping the SFU in their place.
ReplyDeleteI echo most of what has already been said so leave it at that. I also echo kidA's feelings as I've mentioned many times. There is only one winner and finishing second isn't good enough, we need a cup to celebrate. And our window is currently open. Looking forward to an interesting off season.
See y'all around these parts.
Well it was epic. It smelled like 93. I'm heartened by the balance. The young the old the grumpy.
ReplyDeleteI love our speed when we use it. I can't help but think that we had a 5.5 million sniper just walk away at a time when every CH stood tall, took concussions and beatings in front of the net for that extra inch that is needed in the playoffs. Just to go on record with a hearty fuck you to that russian piece of shit who shit on our fans. We have long memories and you'll be in the Bell Centre soon enough. Hopefully DGMB will be able to keep the gang together once the Kraken is done and I'm anxious about off season acquisitions. It just might appear that MTL might be a cool place to play.
I'm happy for Dano. Back in Chester's day there was always a checking line and preventing a goal is just as important as scoring one. I'm interested in camp this year. Our team is balanced and without glaring holes with a mixed bag of newbies in Laval. Poeling must be close and Norlander is spose to be a rough cut gem in the works, and who knows what can be done with Druid and his cap hit Jack Eichel looks very good to me.
Anyway as the sun sets my sincere thanks to Moeman for this place. A place for rabid Habbies and great tits. A perfect combo if there ever was one.
Salu le visit.
Go Habs
Well said Chester, especially about the tits! I suspect you and I are relatively close in age - I never got to see the Rocket play - but you are right about the checkers. Provost, Larose, Jimmy Roberts, Gainey, Carbo, right down the line. I think bergy will find JD a new home, hopefully for a young vet pmd. I'd stay away from Eichel I think he might be another problem child.
DeleteSTILL ANGRY brothers... still not over this.

Hehehe...England are the leafs of the footballing world...
Deletehttps://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/toronto-maple-leafs-ultimate-comparison-englands-national-football-team.2833149/
DeleteThat is some funny shit.
DeleteI'l chime in here if I may. I have worries this off-season. I worry that the gm doesn't make a side deal to protect Allen. I worry he wastes a save by protecting Drouin. I 100% have no idea if he should re-sign Dano. I hope he re-sgns Perry. Not interested in Staal Gus or Merril. DD is still the wrong coach and I am sad they let Bouchard go - he was the right coach. That first pic on this blog is awesome - but it needed the Cup in the frame too...I worry that the moment in time it captured was it...their time was then...I hope I'm wrong but I still worry.
ReplyDeleteOn a more upbeat note, this season has been like no other and this blog, as always is a highlight of my day - especially as I've been working from home through it all. So thanks as always Moeman and thanks to your very own Jake Allen - St. Pad- we wouldn't be here without you!
Oh - and one last thing...I worry about Steve :) #GYFHG
Thanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteDidn't expect to be creating so many game day threads but all worth it.
BTW - it would remiss of me not to mention some of the most stunning "artwork" on a thread in a while, with special mention going to the pic above the Cup winners table...My my my...
DeleteI had a FHFeeling that pic would open up some eyes.
DeleteMcSplooge hired in Senaturd head office. At least we'll be spared his self-aggrandizing pomposity on TSN690 now.
ReplyDeleteThe dream is dead. Sens nab McSplooge.
ReplyDeleteKen Holland appears in a giving mood with that Keith trade. MB should give him a call. I don't expect McDavid but maybe Leon? 😬
Working on a potential road trip to Ottawa in August. Apparently Ontario will let anybody in. Get the 🍻 ready Moe
I dont want to full 10 meter diving board with Mcsplooge. I allege he is an ecomisit from a school to one. He knows the cost of everything but the value of nothing.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking it'd be nice to have some hockey through the summer, when is that leaf "All or Nothing" show coming out? I just can't wait, I'll be on the edge of my seat wondering which it will be. All? Or nothing? We just don't know...
ReplyDeleteok brothers... im here now. watching that meme video about it coming home, talking to all my british friends in british columbia finally made me come to terms and admit defeat. it still hurts guys. really it does.
ReplyDeletei just watched this vid from urinating tree:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K8XFIF2eYI&list=TLPQMTMwNzIwMjHNQIr0l0O8Dg&index=1
i love his blunt honesty. absolutely love his unfiltered foul mouth. i swear he embodies the best of this blog. ff to the last 45 secs. when all of this was happening realtime, i too came to his same conclusion. alas... disappointment rings true for all things bleu, blanc, rouge these days eh?
Congratulations to Lucky DuCHarme - interim in truth (as any headcoach is) but in title no longer. May he bring home three Cups over these three years, and may we be able to hang onto Lucky Luke Richarddon for just as long.
ReplyDeleteI take back the dumb as rocks comments. Any good boss shows patience, as he did (except with Kid Koho at the end, whose benching over the last two games remains slightly mysterious to me.
The NHL is not a development leauge. We questioned all the G CHuck nonsense and in the end it was nonsense he was shit.
DeleteMay the (CH)Force be with you Luke.
ReplyDeleteHe signed for three years too earlier today. Good stuff DGMB!
DeleteI'm wondering if Borrows will be given a shot at the HC job in Laval?
DeleteBonne CHanne, its going to a Luke Robittie, not the LA King
DeleteOuf, we may have lost Captain BBQ for next season or longer.
ReplyDeleteShould affect the expansion draft.
Way too soon but might have a new nickname coming up, KidC.
Interesting. I hadn't seen that news. Not surprising really. Maybe we can put him on LTIR until the playoffs...
Delete✲*´*。.❄️¯*✲。❄️。*¨`*✲´*。❄️¨`*✲。❄️。*`*
DeleteI saw this earlier today - LTIR might be an option but looks like the league has to review it too - if he retires it will cost Nashville a packetload...and yes - it does make the Entry draft more interesting but it would be a shame if it ends his career. Isn't this roughly how Tampa got so far over the cap - LTIR for BBQ then bring BBQ back for the playoffs next year Get well BBQ!
ReplyDeleteWow, too bad about the Captain, that changes the water on the beans as we like to say in the Maritimes.
ReplyDeleteIt frees up nearly 8 million in cap space, bergy should be able to get a decent replacement on D or, work Steve's man Flurry into the lineup over the season.
My golf buddy (a fellow Habs fan) had a juicy rumor yesterday: Supposedly Ilya Kovalchuk has told Ovechkin he should sign a 3 year deal with Montreal to pursue Gretzky's goals record.
I'm all for that! Imagine how the sfu and leafools would react!
BBQ pic added.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing more evidence that the tampon bay dolts are a bunch of classless assholes, possibly even worse than leafools. Especially that Russian douchebag. They are a bunch of fucking cheaters.
ReplyDeleteBBQ will go on LTR, he played a whole season on a ankle that could not support Twiggy. He will be back for the playoff run and after that its over.
ReplyDeleteBBQ first ballot hall of fame, yes. He is one of those players that never raised the cup so far, never one the norris but is acknowledged as the best D men of his time.
We won the Subban Trade in spades. PFK had a couple of good to great seasons with Nashville and now his is a pinball.
Lots of chatter about there on the Weber situation. One very interesting one involves trading him to Nashville so they avoid the cap recapture when he retires. I don't know if that's how that works but if so, Maybe Ekholm?
ReplyDeleteI dare not even dream of Ovie in a Habs sweater!
Are you kidding? There is no way the Habs ever get Ovie - BB's ego couldn't even handle a rookie superstar in the making(PFK) never mind a seasoned, guaranteed HOF player - they are a rare breed of player that he does not relate to or understand - it will never happen.
DeleteFinding it interesting (not really) how much concern the SFU has for BBQ's/Habs situation.
ReplyDeleteLike they fucking care and all they prefer to do is drop moronic mediot rumours which helps them rile up their fanbase of leafools. The same ones that have denigrated the Habs season.
The SFU are worried that mb will have lots of cap space to sign a star player that the leaf cannot even though leafools think they can sign anyone and everyone.
DeleteMaybe they are talking a language of insiders ie he only skates 25 KPH when he needs to hit sixty
ReplyDeleteBourgault has a quick, accurate shot, and does a good job of getting into positions to use it, but it’s not one that will often beat NHL goaltenders clean. He excels more in the playmaking department, ranking as one of the top draft-eligible players in shot assists,. The question is whether his average skating stride and low physicality will allow him the space to pull off those shots and passes as he advances to professional hockey.
My point is that this is a young boy rated in the top 30 of all the hockey players in the world at the draft. Number 30 OMG I was number 6 million.
DeleteI'm not even slightly interested in who the Habs would pick at #30. Now if mb were to package up some picks and prospects to move up into the top 5, sure.
ReplyDeleteTamapa has made us look like Tampons when drafting the pure wool bloodline. They have harvested our UTES over a significant time period. If we had every pure wool in the Tampa pool we could sign Danno for 5 max. I think he is worth 5, but First Joel Armnia. If you are in the playoffs who is more valuable, obviously Danno. However, anyone can shadow and check, few can go to the net.
DeleteJake the snake is a Kraken, lets see how that works out. Kraken hate snakes.
ReplyDeleteWe have seeen, I say again we have seen, we have seen the glory of a Stanley cup run
and the fingerprints of one Larry Robinson are all over it. What he did in St Lou
did not make us blue, it made us blue blanc and rouge. Puck moving d men work well in the first season, but in the show you plow and hurt and do not make a mistake. Fancy boys may dance on ice but they are crushed when the ice is smaller because of the willingness of every one to make the ultimate sacrifice. In the regulars season I know players dont give a fuck. How do I know this. Well I work for a living and I get a paycheck and if I work soft or hard, the bank dont care, I get the same cheque.
Anyone here think that the piece of shit fridgeman would say what he is spewing to BBQs face?
ReplyDeleteDidn't think so.
According to insidredger, things aren't looking good for the Captain. Hopefully he recovers from whatever is going on and can play again. He's got a lot of hard miles on his body.
DeleteLike the terminator he will be back
DeleteNext week is going to be big for the Habs, bergy and we fans. Even if Weber is shut down for the year, there is a strong core to work with. A left PMD and a veteran sniper to augment young CC and replace JD is probably high on bergy's to do list. I think Phil will re-sign in Montreal. I think the Snake stays. The Seattle Crappin' will take 7Evans would be my guess.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Heck of a gamble by bergy exposing Price. I'm guessing he's already talked to Ron Francis, nudge nudge, wink wink.
ReplyDeleteWow, if Lebrun is right they have left Carey unprotected. If true I think this is one of:
ReplyDelete-they have a deal in place with Seattle
- they are banking on Seattle not taking on that contract
- they asked Carey if he's interested in the possibility of moving his family back near his and his wife's home
It's really interesting. IF the Kraken take Price AND if Weber and Drouin are off the books, that is $23M or so for MB to reCHarge the team with. Could be a very interesting couple of weeks.
BTW I don't think there's a chance in hell Seattle take Price. But one can never rule out the possibility.
DeleteIf I’m Seattle, I take him. Most likely we deal them something and keep him
ReplyDeleteDoes Jerry Bruckheimer want to fork over $11 million to Carey this September? That's the signing bonus but I don't know if there is salary on top of that or not. I don't think Seattle takes him, they are very high on Dreidger from Florida who put up way better numbers than Carey and will sign for much less. Plus, Bishflop is available as well as a number of other capable backups.
ReplyDeleteApparently salary is $2M this year.
DeleteI love Price as a Hab but I'm actually good either way. He stays or Habs get an instant $10.5M to play with.
I hope he stays, he should retire a Hab like SuperPlexxx did and Vodkov should have.
DeleteI hope Francis takes Drouin.
ReplyDeleteVery clever move of DBGB is leave TFS in the wind. If the Kraken take him DBGB wins medium term, if they dont take him he wins another CHance for a Stanley cup run next year.
ReplyDeleteI dont think the Kraken take him because they dont want to be winning for a couple of years, Francis knows the Pissers may have launched from the gate, but they have set themselves up for decades of mediocrity without a real shot at the prize in the initial Fleury.. The way to win the cup is to get a franchise forward and D man, hope you get lucky or buy yourself a nice tandem.
The Kracken will take Byron for his leadership skills or Cale Fleury. You noticed how Flurey disappeared this year, no showcasing nothing.
If the Kracken do take TFS I bet we take Flopping Freddy from Toronto as a UFA. Dougie Hamilton as a UFA. Tarasenko in a Druid trade and we keep half his cap hit.
BBQ and PFK both left unprotected... Coincidence...?
ReplyDeleteand Meat is protected by McSlpooge in one of his first tough decisions.
DeleteLots of theories about what happens with Price out there on the interwebs. Sure, he might cause more Kraken jersey sales but he won't sell anymore tickets, I think they are sold out regardless. I think Francis looks at it but in the end he'll take a pass. Ronnie has said cap space is king these days, I don't think he wants 13% of it tied up on one goalie. Dreidger is 27 and coming into his prime and there are other younger guys out there available. Price is also injury prone as is well known with bad knees.
ReplyDeleteI think Kulak is the guy unless Francis has had the opportunity to speak with Drouin and is convinced he can get past his personal issues and believes heat he can be a very good top 6 forward for years to come.
DeleteSo, let's see now.
ReplyDelete1. Shea Weber could be finished career-wise.
2. Carey Price could be off to Seattle or several months on LTIR.
3. Jonathan Drouin could tie up $5.5 million in cap space in perpetuity.
4. Phil Danault has his underwear in a knot because mb won't pay him Patrice Bergeron money and is fucking off.
I was having lunch a day last week at the City Market when an acquaintance of Mrs. Maritimer was walking by and commented to me that the Habs would be back in the Finals again next year. I remarked they would be lucky to make the playoffs. His look was priceless. I said: one step forward, two steps back. I keep my expectations low. I may be proven correct.
I think they make it because they want to see this blog humming.
DeleteAngela says it will all make sense soon...good enough for me.
ReplyDeleteYep ...
Deletebut not enough for shit rakers like fridgeman, all gleeful that he can slag Price and the Habs.
Yes, I think it's all a calculated tempest in a teapot.
DeleteThe plot thickens ... could be the end of the TFS era in Montreal. Jake Allen and ? in goal for the Habs in 2021-22.
ReplyDeleteI personally think the whole Weber and Price injury bit is a big Fuck You to Bettman and the league because of how TB fucked them with the Kucherov scam and being $18M over
ReplyDeleteI think TFS stays and the take the kid. If they take TFS I say its a double edged sword. The fact is we were not close to beating Tampa, so what does it really matter, the cup is everything, we are not worthy right now.
ReplyDeleteMy Twitter says Dano to the Kraken for 8 years at 5.8m/season. If that is true (big if right now) - good on Dano - cause no one else is gonna pay him like that.
ReplyDeleteAlso - that would end all the TFS and BBQ speculation cause even though he's a UFA, if it is 8 years, he's the Habs pick and they only get one!
DeleteHighly doubt PD is getting that kind of coin. Craziness.
DeleteThat's a lot of pizza. I can see Francis building a defence first team. But 5.8 x 8? I guess we'll soon see.
DeleteI agree with Saint Paddy, I think it's going to be Kulak or Fleury. Inexpensive contracts and young mobile defencemen are easily flipped if need be. There is an outside chance for Drouin. No way will Ron Francis take an aging worn out goalie with that contract. SFU bullshit.
ReplyDeleteagree, the media is making a carpet when there was only a muncher
DeleteI saw the Habs hired Houle as coach in Laval and had a slight panic attack.
ReplyDeleteReggie's kid...
Deletei think it was StP who said it first and best: either way im ok with carey's fate
ReplyDeletei think it would be smart for seattle to take him
i think carey's play would be re-energised going to seattle so he could destroy the canucks more often, yield to his wife's life in the 2nd half of his career, escape the microscope of mtl...
i actually WANT seattle to take him. i could live with this cup run as careys peak. sorry guys...
i would love to see some wacky deal where the habs lose salary, lose declining assets and come out somehow instantly stronger thru trades/propects/side deals... but in the end,
i think seattle take him.
Seattle takes Price. Habs sign Halak. Price vs Halak for the cup. I think that's the best scenario.
DeleteI think they take Kulak. Or Fleury. More I think about it, I think I'd take Fleury. But it all depends on what they're taking from other teams...
Fleury it is.
DeleteTFS stays, so long Cale Fleury.
ReplyDeleteSmart pick by the Krakheads, still some upside with this young man.
DeleteAnybody think Drouin moves this weekend?
ReplyDeleteNope
DeleteMB will have some cap money to play with. Weber's $7.8mil, plus whatever Sauce and Phil were making and maybe Drouin's $5.5mil.
ReplyDeleteDude! We got the Big Letowski!
ReplyDeleteGood luck out west Cale. Hope you get to play with your brother.
ReplyDeleteAs much as we make fun of the torontosportsnetwork, they are by far more professional than the rank amateur dog's breakfast sportsnet clown show. Thank goodness that tsn, along with CBC Gem, have acquired the broadcast rights to CHL hockey games taking them away from that fucking shitshow. I actually feel sorry for the CBC employees who got drug into that mess when Rogers bought the NHL rights. I can't wait to see the Saint John Sea Dogs presented on TV in a professional manner. We may even get the Memorial Cup in 2022. That would be so great.
ReplyDeleteWe played CHicken with the Kraken and won. Fuck you Krack Heads, you play in the Krack House FFS.
ReplyDeleteBoring.
ReplyDeleteThis ESPN guy is terrible.
This shit is actually embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteI imagine Ron Francis felt like stabbing himself in the eye during that whole ordeal. I tuned in 3 times for a grand total of 15 minutes or so. What a shitshow that was. What I saw of it anyway. Agree if this is the best ESPN had to offer then wow. Habs legend Dominic Moore ain't saving that.
ReplyDeleteOuf, looks like the possibility of having seen BBQ's last game might be with us.
ReplyDeleteDruid doing better is a positive sign.
Or....or make it to the playoffs and he comes back for one more shot! LTIR cap money wins cups.
Delete/End wishful thinking
And yes about Drouin. If I had his ear I'd recommend disconnecting from all social media and paying zero attention to 'mainstream' media. We would all probably be better off if we followed that advice.
DeletePretty fucking cool;
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Q4hAQ4fEw
I tuned into TSN for kicks. Actually opened on the Weber news for about a minute then spent nearly 10 talking about Zach Hyman. They're truly pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have the Druid than the Zach
DeleteHe's off the Olympic team if he signs with the Oilers.
DeleteI heard the Druid is back. and fixed, whatever it was I am happy to see him make one last run at fulfilling his tremendous potential. If he can be a 60 point player going forward thats a win win.
ReplyDeleteBBQ will be back for the playoffs
ReplyDeleteI agree. This is bergy's FU to buttman.
DeleteThat Crappin' team looks like a dog's breakfast. The Rocket would give them a run for their money.
ReplyDeleteBBQ will be missed but if we can rebuild him... if we have the technology,,, yes, perhzps pulling a Kucherov come playoff time would be an outside chance. Then we'll have to change his nick to Steve Austin.
ReplyDeleteI hope Dano doesn't go anywhere.
I hope the Druid is okay, but what a weird thing if and when he gets back. Maybe it can be deemed a mental injury and all will be perfectly fine. Or maybe it wil be awkward as hell for him and teammates. A true test for DuCHarme and Captain Lep.
And no TFS in the same vein as BBQ until the playoffs? Perhaps. But I do want Dano and CHommodore back. GYFHG
Replace Weber with Rasmus from Buffalo. I think 7Evans is ready to replace Phil, EAP will step into the 4C hole and see if you can get Tarasenko to come to Montreal with an unlimited pass to CHez Paris. The Snake and a cheap backup can hold the fort until CP31 is good to go. Winner!
ReplyDeleteI salute the renamed MLB team, The Cleveland Guardians. Tom Hanks' narration on the promo vid makes it a okay. But neglecting to include a nod to Klinger seems like a missed opportunity.
ReplyDeleteVery good.
DeleteChanging the field name to Galaxy Park. New mascot will be a raccoon or a tree. Or a raccoon in a tree.
DeleteIf the blackhawks go it more political correctness run amok to me. The Indians was questionable, not really offensive to me, but I an not the plaintiff or the Judge. However to say the blackhawks discrimate or humulate the native peoples is hard for me to accept.
DeleteRasmus is a philthy phucker
ReplyDeleteI suspect MB has eyes for Seth Jones. He'd be expensive considering what Philthy gave up for Risto. I don't want Dougie Hamilton, he seems like the type not to do well in big markets.
ReplyDeleteJones won't come to Montreal or Canada. His brother Caleb played for the Oilers and his mom hated it up here. He's now in Chicago and I suspect Seth his headed to Dallas.
DeleteI say no to Hamilton as well, he didn't fare well in Calgary.
Maybe Alec Martinez? I'm sure bergy has some irons in the fire, maybe we find out tonight. Virtual draft again to night, no one gets to boo the littlest commissioner. He got his desserts Wed. night in Seattle.
WOW! OEL and Conor Garland (I like him) to Van for the 9th pick tonight and a ton of washed up hockey players. Arizona are going for the No. 1 pick in 2022, I can't remember if that is Conor Bedard or Shane Wright.
ReplyDeleteI believe he is Knuckles godson.
DeleteYeah that's a nice move by the Canucks. Meanwhile hockey in the desert still sucks. Just more now.
DeleteI guess David Savard is the name out there linked to the Habs. I forgot about the Jones' opinion on playing in Canada. MB said a lot of players are unwilling to do so due to taxes and tougher Covid restrictions among other things.
ReplyDeleteAnd the M is right. Jones going to Chicago.
ReplyDeleteThe FUCktard payed a bundle for RIsto Russolini. We should have topped them. We have 3 finns and it takes at least four Finns to build a Shield Wall. I suggest we take a women Finn hockey player to complete the wall.
ReplyDeleteShould we take Doogie Hamilton? Well its like Raquel is not available but Farrah Fawcett is still in the wind.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the NHL Network has some competent people working for them. I don't know the MC guy but Constantino, Kevin Weekes and Jeff Gorton know what they are talking about. I don't think I can make it to the Habs pick, the 12 year Tomatino single malt is kicking in. I'm recording so I can catch up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteOh boy...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how the organization reacts today to the great horrified reaction to the Mailloux pick. I had not been paying close attention to this draft. It seems he videod himself getting a BJ from an 18-year-old female in a consensual act, but then shared the video with teammates, adding a pic identifying her, and paid repercussions in Sweden. He apologized and is taking it as a learning experience. Not exactly the classiest move by a team that is typically the classiest of the league. Or is the knee-jerking I see actually another tempest in a teapot? Seems like a guy boasting to his friends and not getting how it would create consequences for the other party, and hiw wrong it was. But if we don't move him ASAP, it'll be something the media around the team will never let go. I hope Geoff and Bergevin know what they're doing here.
ReplyDelete17 year olds do stupid things with their phones. I hear we still want to bring the alleged racist D man from NY to the team as well. Our alternate uni next year will be silver and black.
DeleteWhat is it with these Swedish women, first Assange and now Mailloux?
I trust the organization.
I am trying to see an upside to this pick but really struggling...
ReplyDeleteSame. And if you REALLY wanted to get him, why risk your first round pick? He's probably available in 2nd, 3rd for sure.
DeleteI say worst first round pick ever. Even if the kid turns out to be a beast. The risk to the franchise's respectability has to be worth more.
I am giving them the benefit of the doubt for the moment. Tons of hot takes going off right now. It was a single POV pic, not a video, but she was not nude in it, reportedly. A really bad thing to have taken the shot and shared it without her consent, for which Swedish court found him guilty of defamation. He zppears to be showing contrition, but the other party is reportedly not terribly impressed with the apology she got in some text messages that were added to the court record.
DeleteHe might be guilty of being disrespectful and stupid as fuck in a new environment at the age of 17. The CH braintrust - assuming we can still call it that - don't seem to be as troubled by his character. Mailloux is gamely being trotted out before the blood-smelling media stone-casters later. This is a huge test for the organization. Seems they really believe in the adversity thing. So much, they'll bring it on themselves if they have to!
In a totally unrealated story can I say Puck Bunny?
DeleteAs good as he may potentially be, I'd rescind the pick, apologize to women, fans and try to untarnish this blemish on the CH.
ReplyDeleteMost of the sanctimonious, self-aggrandizing media can go fuck itself as they’ve hidden or supported way worse.
It seems a helluva lot of fans are expressing extreme disgust over this. As part of a marketing team, the damage to the brand is already significant, and that means there will be repercussions, no matter what the next move is. But as they say, the first thing to do when you're in a hole is to stop digging.
DeleteI can't believe that Molson allowed this to happen. Did he have forehand knowledge? Terrible, terrible choice for a team that built up so much good will over the last two months. They need to do what Arizona did a couple years ago and rescind the pick. Like, this morning. Actually, bergevin and timmins should be fired. Jean Beliveau is rolling in his grave.
ReplyDeleteGeoff Molson would have been informed, surely. They had the statement out and translated right away. Huge fail on the PR side? Idk. The kid seems contrite, but the media and fanbase haven't had enough time to digest the whole sordid tale before being expected to forgive and hell him move on. And they forgot to show more respect to the woman involved, thus revictimizing her. Someone should've waved the red flag.
Delete*forgive and allow him to move on.
DeleteChris Chelios
DeleteStill can't believe they did that.
ReplyDeleteI don't see fans and media letting this go.
But followed up with a Haligonian and a Finn. Interesting picks.
So the apology, although written sounded genuine. Time will tell. Troubling nonetheless...
ReplyDeleteHeard the kid did a Q&A with the press, haven't seen it but he supposedly re-apologized.
DeleteIn english and french. He seems to get it. I think he's already made strides understanding how shitty he was, and is likdly maturing greatly from the experience. Sounded like a decent guy actually, and pretty ashamed of himself.
DeleteI wonder if the Draft was in Montreal, live at the Bell Centre, if this pick for Mailloux would've been made.
ReplyDeleteI expected they'd trade to move and pick l'Heureux.

I can't imagine that Bettman was too pleased about that last night. Gotta think he had a conversation with Molson about it. As a Habs fan of over 60 years I'm embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of bergevin, he's lost his marbles. Promote Trevor Timmins to GM.
ReplyDeleteI think next season is DGMB's swan song as GM.
DeleteDoes he stay and move up to an executive position.
Also, read that Rob Ramage, Habs Pro Dev Director, someone who had his own legal issues to deal with, is helping Mailloux get through things.
I can't fathom why bergevin, a man who supposedly values character above all else, would decide to pick a young person who used his position of 'celebrity' and privilege to acquire sexual favours and then boasts about it on social media. I'm not saying it doesn't occur with other hockey players, it surely does. But this was a documented incident where the person was charged and convicted. Why would you put that stain on the Canadiens brand? Lots of women who cover the Canadiens are mortified and offended by this. I don't give a fuck if this kid is the 2nd coming of Shea Weber, you don't pick him. Period. Geoff Molson needs to step in here and get that pick rescinded immediately.
DeleteI'm offended by this. I'll NEVER cheer for this privileged brat, I hope he never makes it to pro hockey.
Shame on you Marc Bergevin. This is inexcusable!
I can agree with that, ;like who was at 31. It was a self iflected wound for no real reason ulness the is the next Victor Hedman who comes from Sweden and we must assume been blowen
Deleteso this guy better be Larry Robinson on ice. Not even in the same area code off ice.
I'm far more interested in Riley Kidney, Oliver Kapanen and Josh Roy. I've seen 2 of the 3 play here.
ReplyDeleteMaritmer Kidney (nic:Bean) has promise. Kapanen from a hockey family, wait and see product. I think Roy might be a long shot but could be a 3rd/4th line C in a few years if he works hard enough.
DeleteRumours about Habs interest in Eichel - true or not only MB and TT really know. But if true what Buffalo is asking for, take a hard pass. He seems really over values. He is a less than point per game player. At $10M I want a guy that's putting up 100 points, isn't injured and isn't a dick if you want the vault opened in return.
Echiel sorry a son of tricky dicky. waah waah waah. He has a trick neck whats going to happen in the playoffs a place he has never even imagined. I honestly like the sex offender better as a reclaim.
DeleteI can't put it in any better words than Jack. https://montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/nhl/hockey-inside-out/jack-todd-the-habs-had-a-chance-to-do-the-right-thing-they-failed
ReplyDeleteI laid off bergevin this past season. He pulled off some great moves getting some legitimate talent on his roster. All that good will was thrown out the window with one stupid, unnecessary decision. According to JT Timmins was complicit with the pick. I think Jack is right, these two think with their biceps instead of their brains.
DeleteIF: Mailloux is truly repentant
DeleteIF: He and the Canadiens organiztion team up with the CHL to spearhead an initiative (like, creating a program) that educates the players on sex ed, social media bullying, understanding sexual harassment and the hsrms it causes, etc.
IF: Mailloux continues on his apparently enlightened course and takes on women's issues, countering domestic violence, raising money for women's shelters and champions feminism...
They may (with time) be able to turn this PR shit show around.
(I was going to suggest making amends to the Swedish woman at the centre of the incident, but she's been through enough, so if anything more still needs to be done for her, maybe do it quietly and privately.)
And they would certainly do themselves a favour bringing some women into the head office to help them avoid kicking themselves in the nads like this in future.
I think the young man is repentant.
DeleteI think he can and will improve himself immensely.
He needs a lot of support, a lot.
Yes the Habs need a major influx of female persuasion, professionalism and perspective.
A lot of great candidates out there.
I really feel for the Habs player's wives and female relatives/friends.
I still hope they rescind the pick as the pressure is too great today, tomorrow and for a long fucking while.
VP Hockey Ops, Danièle Sauvageau
DeleteTessa Bonhomme and/or Manon Rhéaume for PR/Community
Geoff Molson needs to say and do something
Agree 100% and great choices for female management.
DeleteThose are excellent suggestions, moeman.
DeleteWhat a great day for Canada to have a fantastic new GG to represent ALL of us.
ReplyDeleteI tjink it's an inspired choice. Hope she does well.
DeleteI think she is a good choice as well and has been shortlisted many times. However the reason for that surely was she does not speak French. For me this is a non starter. Her back story may power her through this wall, but I hope she is the last GG who does not speak French day one.
DeletePatrick Kane, do I have to go down the list of absoulte mistakes made by players in the NHL. So this guy is not even in the NHL. I will be honest, I never talked about my teenage sexual exploits, because I had
ReplyDeletenone, but my friends who were scoring gave a play by play. ADD vIDEO AND ITS 2021. Was this right or wrong obviously wrong, but if you want to change human nature, look to the USSR, they did a lot but failed misrely.
St-Hubert BBQ --- is that the first shoe to drop?
ReplyDelete``As a lifelong Habs fan, I have to say I am deeply disappointed by the decision. I think it was a lack of judgment by the Canadiens organization,'' Trudeau told reporters in Moncton N.B. ``I think they have a lot of explaining to do, to Montrealers and to fans from right across the country.''
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Major f*ckup by bergevin and company. And Molson too. Their hubris knows no bounds.
DeleteHey did he not skate from some inappropriate something when he was a ute?
DeleteMy last words on this. Habs have explained that they are going to work with the victim and with the player. Everyone needs to chill the fuck out, let the healing happen and deal with the hockey side of it later. Player has done the crime been found guilty and paid a price. Victim has received an apology which she has not accepted - her right to do so. Habs have promised to do all they can. Player has promised to do all he can. Let's all see what happens before condemning everyone. Surely the pm has more important things to worry about. If this had of happened in the country he is supossed to be in charge of no one would even know about it so please for fuck sake can all the self important know it alls and self righteous media just STFU about it, let them sort it out as they have said they will and let the victim start to repair and lead a normal life.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused by this.
ReplyDeleteIt's the kind of a story that everybody can get indignant about and jump on the holier than thou bus.
You can tell by the immediate reaction of the bottom feeder politicians trying to get some political mileage. There's something to be said about paying your dues to society when you have wronged, been caught and paid for it. There's also something to be said about an adult woman sucking off a minor. Kinda think that side of it got a little lost by everybody scrambling for the high road. DGMB and The Trevor man did their job. Pick the best guy when it's your turn in the draft. I don't think morality comes with the office. That is Geoff The Molson's job. The hockey guys did their job. I feel for the kid. I don't feel for the adult woman praying on minors. I believe in this country that would land her in jail, with the picture prob used as evidence against her. So I stand confused. Glad it's not my problem.
Go Habs
Well we did not get the redneck he went to Carolina, now that is something to ponder?
ReplyDeleteWe are not getting Dougie Hamilton and unless Buffalo takes Kid Ko and a couple of draft picks we are not getting Eichel either. Dennis Savard, and lets take a long shot at Landensburg, to bad he was not Finnish.
We got a new lens with witch to look at the Druid. Simone Bels and Osaka. These are players at the top of their game that look like Gretsky compared to the Druid. Yet they have been crushed by the same alleged pressures. The utes cant handle the pressure, thats my conclusion, and who brought up these utes, well not the parents for sure.
ReplyDeleteCan I add, being the Gretzky of rhythmic gymnastics is not quite the same as being the womens number one at Tennis or the top assist man for the Habs. I consider what I do with hanging ankle inverted straps and oven mits to be world class rhythmic gymnastics, and I will never get a medal and I feel no pressure.
DeleteHey Army back for four more years! Guess that'll do since OV is staying put in DC. Good signing at a $3.6M cap hit for the Habs.
ReplyDeleteI get my news here and I am very happy. That Goodrow guy from Tampa got 3.6 and could not carry armies jock strap.
DeleteI think Danno should now say, okay Steve and sign for 4 and be happy. I mean its hard but not rocket science to be a shadow. I am the shadow, and a rocket scientist
ReplyDeleteHey the Avs have 7 x 7 on the deck for Gabriel, can we call him Horn. We counter with 7 x 8 math is hard Colorado, your towns burning anyway due to climate change, but Montreal, we got it all baby more water than a billion breaking mothers and a climate that makes you think of Sweden.
ReplyDeleteAll right Geoff. So you release a statement at Noon on UFA frenzy day. Whatever. You know that's just another big FU to all your fans that have been offended over this, and doubles down on the callousness of your whole team Head(less) Office. Way to prove what a POS you've made this team. Reminds me how an American meat-packer owner who knew dick-all about hockey zt least understood the value of the CH and chreished and nurtured it.
ReplyDeleteI'm in agreement with SiM. It's still bad optics all around. I'm still unhappy and I am hoping that the sponsors who are questioning this decision pull the plug. Molson can say all he wants that the kid is sorry, what else is he going to say? I'm not buying what Molson is selling, literally and figuratively. No Habs merchandise and no beer. We will have to respectfully disagree with our FHF colleague UK3X on this matter. As far as I'm concerned, Montreal's first pick this year was Riley Kidney, a young man from Nova Scotia playing for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in northern N.B. The other guy doesn't exist.
DeleteIn other words FU Geoff.
If Molson really wants to make amends, rescind the pick. It's not rocket science.
DeleteIf Molson, dickhead and Timmins think by keeping this guy out of the rookie and main training camps that people will forget who he is and what he did, they are dead wrong.
DeleteThey haven't really acknowledged that theyhave a problem themselves yet. Maybe Mailloux snd his "lady" pzychologist can enlighten them in time, but first you have toadmit when you have an attitude that needs adjusting. I think Molson's tone shows that he is taking the heat but doesn't fully understand why.
DeleteMaybe a private chit-chat with Angela Price, Sophie-Gregoire Trudeau, Anna Gainey, and Kate Telford might help.
This time last year, I was assigned to write up a reaction to BLM on behalf of my employer. My boss saved my job by not sending it up the chain. It was revolutionary. It would have meant putting forth a commitment to spearheading real change in a white-msle-dominated industry. (Y'all know I classify as such, right?)
DeleteAnyhoo, the path to Star-Trek-like enlightenment is definitely a long one, and real change only comes when there is true investiture of the powers that be (not necessarily the same thing as the hoi polloi - in fact negligibly so at this juncture).
But the more noise we make about it, the better the chances we move as a society in the right direction.
...with time.
SiM, you are a punk, rocker !
DeleteI am all for star trek enlightenment.
DeleteLots of dumpster diving today I see.
ReplyDeleteSo, taking a 2 week vacay, mostly to just avoid/not think of work.
ReplyDeleteHaven't caught up yet.
Thanks for being a Hab Dano.
Savard will do well.
Paquette, not sure.
Wideman, weird.
Habs got Hoffman.
DeleteInteresting.
Very sad news... RIP Dusty Hill
ReplyDeleteMerci Dano.. Good luck in LA. Once a Hab, always a Hab.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Phil Danault is another victim of media pressure on the local guy. They sort of hounded him last year during his long goalless drought. The french media have to realize that none of these young men are the second coming of Richard, Cournoyer or Lafleur. All the best to Phil in L.A., Luc Robitaille will welcome him with open arms.
ReplyDeleteHe coulda stayed and had a mammoth pizza deal! Having no eyes or ears in the locker room, there was a big gap in what the sports journos were able to dig into inre: "in the room" stuff over the past 16 months. LA is a place where shy French Québec hockey players go to escape the relentless pressure. He wad an outstanding Hab though, and he willnot be easily replaced. Thanks for everything, Dano! Truly.
DeleteWell said about Dano by fellow FHFers.
ReplyDeleteSo Geoff made some kind of statement.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't enough but we might see some results.
We'll see but not a harsh enough comment and looks like kicking the can.
Too much going on for a cognitive thought. I want to focus of Mike Hoffman. I nick him VODOO or VCH for Voodo Hab. This guy is allergy a bonnie and Clyde cancer in the room. Perhaps Bergy has perfected keep to your own lane in the room. On the ice I love it for a team that can not score, one more weapon, one more thing you cant defend against.
ReplyDeleteBusy work day followed by 4 hours of lugging gravel for my new yard paths.
ReplyDeleteMy last statement on the draft fiasco: the Three Amigos still don't get it. This isn't about what the kid did! It is about their tone deaf nature on the issue, the fact the kid asked for a year to redeem himself which they ignored and the male privilege on all sides of the issue which they clearly don't see.. Moe and others have said it best. The team is in dire need of an estrogen infusion and he has suggested some ideal candidates. The end.
Draft Day is pre 2020 MB perfection, lots of dumpster diving, some Quebecois. And some questionable characters. Good stuff.
Still hope to see Perry back.
And I wonder if he's still looking at trade possibilities to use BBQs cap overage?
Oh and I echo the Dano comments. Best thing for him and he'll have an actual shot at a Selke on an American team.
ReplyDeleteAND Eichel. If MB is serious about him, offer three first round picks. You fuck those up anyway. Recent history matters. CC was a brilliant pick...
ReplyDelete
