I should mention I really despise that fucking team, they tanked as well as anyone (Stamkos, Hedman), stole CHevy from bergybin and reaped the rewards. Fuck them.
I also despise the shit team from Raleigh. Just because.
However, you have to give them props because their management and coaches seem to know how to properly draft and develop players, unlike Montreal who seem to operate under the premise that if you put on the jersey, history and glory will automatically be bestowed upon you and you become the next version of the Rocket, Big Jean, the Flower and Jake the Snake. Sorry, that ain't how it works Geoff.
The Shane train may be off course. Ryan O Riely or Patrice Bergon version 2 is what you are getting. Now they are both good, but a re draft might not put either of them at the top of the class. Stay Tuned? Personally at center I like GEEKIE, a mountian of a player, currently not in the top ten. If we get number one I would go to number 8 or 9 and do a Garth Snow, all your picks for number one.
Habs have more players on Covid protocol than some 'other' teams, yet hit the road and still have to play? Molson is being played so Tampa can rake in the game revenue.
Seriously, eh?! It's not right. I honestly thought exactly the same sentiment as your headline on this post: "Are they doing this?" Just ridiculous. Buttman joke league.
And as if my holiday season wasn't shit enough already with my two youngest getting Covid, today I tested positive so that's me isolating until next week. Happy fucking New Year! I am fine BTW - so symptoms and feeling fine. Be safe and be smart everyone.
Like I told the M, get your hands on an oxymeter. Mrs. SiM sez it's important to watch. 97% is not great, strangely. Take care snd don't be surprised if you get symptoms later or up and down. It's a very sneaky and slippery illness.
I believe SiM commented that he watched Don't Look Up, we just finished it and I give it a thumbs up. It wasn't what I thought it was about, but once I realized it was a huge satire on the state of today's America, I was all in. Was that really Meryl Streep's wrinkly bare butt I saw?
On the Covid front, so far so good, Mrs. theM and I continue to test negative. Hopefully we continue to, but we are isolating just to be on the safe side.
As I was typing, saw Clague Spreghorn score his goal wearing the Breezer's old number. Nice set up by CC and EAP, I think they are keepers.
All good. Yeah, I guess 'ol Jack Todd didn't take a shine to Don't Look Up for some reason. So much to like, though. At about the one-hour mark, note the title and author of the book on Dr. Mindy's desk.
It's been great having #2 and her guy home for the week. Yesterday she invited her best friend, who practically lived at our house from 8-16 and we had a Lord of the Rings marathon. Extended version. It was a long day and much ale was consumed. They don't leave until Saturday which is awesome.
Anyway as a result I've been missing sports this week. Caught the highlights including Gally's BS non goal. Fuck this league. Awesome for RHP and Foggy (too much of a stretch to get from Clague that?).
I don't know, the whole season is a shitshow. Every decision is $$$ based, which apparently the NHLPA are on board with. So when the ice half an AHL squad, it is what it is. Personally I'd be fine watching these new players over the stuff we watched the first few months.
I read some things on Twitter regarding the Habs, I'm not convinced Shane Wright is going to help that much. As long a they pick in the top 3 it might not matter who they take. Lafreniere hasn't been a big deal with the Rags. Connor Bedard might be a different story in 2023.
I only saw a bit of the 3rd period last night but it seems the AHL guys put on a show, playing with effort. Some of the vets might want to take note. I'm sure Jeff Gorton is taking notes...
NHL, I know you're a joke league in a lot of ways but even so, it's time to put an end to this charade. Shut it down until things improve. This is madness.
No surprise, WJC cancelled, I'll predict that the 7 Canadian NHL teams will be going on extended road trips. No one will be going to the arenas in Canada any time soon. Either that or pause the season until May or June. They won't though, greed will always win in the USA over lives.
Bergevin's sex offender pick reinstated by the OHL. People should get second chances but this will follow that kid for the rest of his days. He won't make the NHL.
Renaud Lavoie (TVA Sports) reports 8 people will be interviewed for the #Habs GM job next week: Patrick Roy, Daniel Brière, Mathieu Darche, Marc Denis, Kent Hughes, Stéphane Quintal, Danièle Sauvageau & Émilie Castonguay. Says it’s possible 1 or 2 names could be added to that list.
Dont Look up gets my nod for best picture. Is Owen Power going to Luke Fox Barfalo? Is Jordan Harris going to Luke Fox us? Émilie Castonguay will be the new GM, nick after Emile Francis is the Cat or just Cat. We will have 4 or five first round picks in Montreal. There are so many known unkowns we could get five unknows who should have been known.
One thing I am seeing is how the young Habs all hang onto the puck too long. Monty in nets is a prime example. Passes are all very sloppy... But they are trying I suppose... Killed a PP earlier which was nice to see.
Another shit thing about having to isolate for Covid is that u have no excuse to not watch the whole fucking lousy game... As I have nothing to go to bed early for... So the fu king Habs better pick it up in the 3rd...
I left at 2-0 to watch the Bob Einstein documentary. It was an excellent choice. I didn't realize how early he was in the biz. Of course, Super Dave on Bizarre was my first intro to him. I did not know that he was brother to Albert Brooks...but understand why Albert changed his name.🤯
Funny thing how other teams, Calgary, Toronto, Boston, can't field a 'real' NHL team yet Montreal has to ice an AHL team so the league can forge ahead. What a fucking farce. And Geoff Molson continues to allow his team to be a laughing stock. I'm leaning towards boycotting the rest of the season. I re-watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon tonight.
How much would DGMB overpay? 3. Something to watch: Nino Neiterreiter and Vince Trocheck play in the Carolina Hurricanes’ top six and they both can be unrestricted free agents this summer. Neiterreiter has eight goals and 15 points in 23 games while Trocheck has 19 points in 29 games.
OK, this is just ridiculous, another one of the AHL taxi squad guys tests positive. How can some teams shut down completely yet the Habs are forced to be embarrassed on a nightly basis? C'mon Molson show some fucking balls and tell buttman you team is packing it's shit and going home until everyone is out of covid protocols. Fuck him!
Congrats to Ovie on owning another record. 275 PPG. Remember when we used to speculate he might sign here? Was it five, six ,seven years ago? That would've been such sweet revenge for DC stealing our Expos.
Recall that Gorton was fired right after speaking up for what was right and thumbing his nose at the league. I wonder if Buttman has a long memory, and we're just going to keep getting the wrong end of every stick.
Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs GoGo Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go Go Habs Go
And just tuned into heat Mudryk say Habs down to 10F and 5D?! Wt actual f?! Did they lose players or start shorthanded? How can Molson/Gorton be OK with this? I can only assume they've been promised Wright and a decent shot at Bedard. There is no other explanation.
Didn't see much of the period and its insane that they're playing. But I'm enjoying see some of these players. From the little I saw of him, Hillis looks good.
So I still have to isolate from my family as I tested + for Covid on Tuesday. Been binging on Gommorrah. Excellent Italian Organised crime series if you don't mind subtitles. Keeps me interested and saves me loosing my mind. 5 days now... No symptoms... Fuck Covid. Stay safe everyone.
I've been keeping the back deck clear for this day. Very mild, so I fired up the bbq and did some burgers. I swear flame cooked meat tastes even better in winter.
Since the winter solstice (my birthday) we have gained 10 minutes of daylight, sunset today (here anyway) was 4:52 AST. Golf season will be here before I know it.
"Given all the new positive cases arising daily, and for the health of our players and staff, we feel that pausing our activities is necessary at this time. This pause will give our players the time they need to recover so that we can continue the season safely.”—Jeff Gorton
--But we had to play today because we need the gate and concession money that Quebec snowbirds were going to spend and we have no integrity.-- But, 'Tanks' anyway.
I recorded TSNs Plays of the Year so I could FF through them and you'll be absolutely shocked by what I discovered (you won't actually)...
4 of the 100 best plays in ALL of sport around the world in 2021 were goals by Underpants. But they were all below 40...
I wasn't sure where the Price save on Spezza or the Byron shortie from his knees in Game 1 were going to place, and you will be surprised (no you won't) to find that neither play made the cut. There was a Price save vs Vegas in the 60s or something.
I am somehow still surprised at how pathetic and small they can be. If that was a Campbell save on Gallagher or if that was Lil' Mitchy scoring on Price from his knees, they are top 20 at least.
To be fair in this instance I watched the DOPS video and I will actually give the in zone ref a pass as it seems 2 players cross in front of him as the hit is happening. I think the ref at centre ice had a better view though and could have called it, seems like he was looking right at it.
Anyway I'm just happy to see a player get suspended for wronging a Hab for a change.
After watching the Pats demolish the hapless Jags, I binged Hawkeye last night. Good series, with some light moments which I think is necessary in these shows. Once they take themselves too seriously, they lose me.
Also finished off the new season of Letterkenny recently. I understand you either get this humour or you think it's the dumbest thing you've seen, but I enjoy their wordplay. This season was mostly just OK.
I watched the Bills/Falcons game yesterday, Josh Allen is a great QB and I had him, Stefon Diggs and The Bills defence on my fantasy team yesterday. I came in 3rd, the guy that won had J'amal Chase, yowza, 40+ points for that dude! I couldn't bring myself to see the Giants lose again, fuck you Joe Judge, your team is a fucking clown show.
So, FHFriends, who will be the 1st Hab traded after the team is healthy? Ben Chiarot is the obvious choice, they should reap big for him, David WrongSavard got Columbus a windfall last year from Tampa. After that, who knows. I think Price and Gallagher stay, hopefully Drouin moves on soon. I'd trade him for gift cards from the Dollar Store.
Of all the Marvel/Disney+ series, Hawkeye was the best followed by Loki. I enjoyed Shang-Chi, Awkwafina is a delight.
Not to seem negative but the Dolts should have a relatively easy time tonight?
ReplyDeleteThe Shane Train keeps chugging along...
I should mention I really despise that fucking team, they tanked as well as anyone (Stamkos, Hedman), stole CHevy from bergybin and reaped the rewards. Fuck them.

ReplyDeleteThe Commodore does it again, man I wish the Habs had kept him.
ReplyDeleteThis might be the first time this season that the Habs have managed 3 points in a row... Or not...
ReplyDeleteWasn’t to be.
ReplyDeleteFucks da leaf.
The Shane Train keeps on keepin' on.
ReplyDeleteOh well - it was a decent game
ReplyDeleteFunny how the refs had to help the Tampons win and apparently, tranna had a hand in it too. Fuck all those assholes.

Don't Look Up, great picture, a statement on the failed state of America and Trumpism.
Yep, 'Don't look up' is a very good flic. Quite funny too.
ReplyDeleteWatch to the end of the credits. The very end. Jonah Hill as all three Trump children combined is hilarious.

DeleteLooks like it's game-on tonight. I might watch, mostly for KidKoho, and to cry a little when he lights up poor Monty.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a very good game at the moment... Wow!

ReplyDeleteOr maybe DD calling out the refs for the goalie interference is already coming back to haunt them
ReplyDeleteAnother good kill
ReplyDeleteHabs don't have any goals in them tonight... Just saying
ReplyDeleteThere's Monty being a poor puck handler once again...
