  1. New John Mellencamp sounds pretty good.

    A couple of tracks out until it releases in full Friday.

    He's scraggly, sounding like Dylan.

    So Shane Wright may not be an elite prospect and according to Blob McKenzie, no one in this draft may be. That's OK, the Habs will get a good prospect and, if they finish 32nd, they will be picking 1st every round after. They will likely be picking more than once in the 1st round as well. Good times ahead.

    1. ... and unlike DGMB, I'd like to see DGKH package some picks and move up, where warranted.

  4. I know he gets the Flash moniker, but man Gorton looks like he should be in a trenchcoat and fedora whacking guys that don't pay up in 1927. And that's a good thing!
    Some dipshit (Basu probably) asked him if he hired his best friend. "No offence, but Kent's not my best friend." I could feel what he really wanted to say to that reporter and it was very Draisaitlish.

    Might stick around for a period tonight. we'll see.

    1. Heh, good stuff.

      Gorton also has an odd breathing pattern. Like he sucks up enough oxygen to just finish a sentence and then goes back for more air. He truly gives off a Tony Soprano vibe (yes this is a nickname idea, whatCHa gunna do about it!?)

    2. By the end of this five-year stint, he'll probably be bald and look rather Kingpinish. Vincent D'onofrio's Kingpin. Bill Sienkiewicz's Kingpin.

  7. 18 shots in the first period. Monty's in another shooting gallery, but holding the fort. GYFHG even playing a low-IQ system that all the other teams know exactly how to turn into turnovers!

  8. Toffee! PP goal to tie it up at 2.

  11. On to OT. At 1:45 they iced the puck. I don't understand why DueHarm wouldn't use his timeout there, to give his players a rest. Anyway,..

  12. Aw, what a shame. But don't blame Monty. He's the readon tgey got a point. Get to work, Mr. Hughes. G'night.

  14. Went to bed after 1. Watched the hilites. Another 53 shots against. And it sounds like Full Monty has lots of work ahead of him with the Snake out 6 to 8 weeks. Chariot of Eggs kind of blew it on the winner burns loser point is good. it shows you still care while maintaining residence at the bottom.

    Our team of Superheroes have their work cut out for them in the CH Universe.

    SiM I was actually wondering yesterday after I read the Ms post about the DC Universe if Molson would be Kingpin in this scenario, but he seems more like a J Jonah Jamieson to me. Ol' JJJ...

    I think if we mix good and evil, DC and Marvel, throw in a dash of Dick Tracy we might just have a winner.

    All this before my coffee which I hear is now ready. Have a great day folks.

    I recorded the game on RDS and watched it this am. Full Monty saw lots of rubber and the D is still a mess. Other than that a decent effort. Like Saint Paddy said, played with pride but maintained the Sherman.

    I hope Clark Kent trades Chiarot of Fire before he gets hurt. Looks like Jake the Snake will be sticking around with a long term injury. I'm OK with that, I like having a local NB guy on the roster.

    Man, I enjoy watching Pez Dispenser do his thing. He's got a great flow going too. For the ladies.

    RIP Meatloaf, he and Jim Steinman were a great combo. I have Bat Out of Hell on vinyl. As Steve mentioned, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights is an anthem.

  17. very impressive how Clark went on TSN unafraid and unabashed. Ask me anything. WOW no GM in recent memory in any sport has been so confident.

    As bad as this season has been for Habs fans, Oilers fans have to be even more pissed. Their team has two of the best players on the planet but with no defence and no goalie they are screwed. Watch braindead leafools start dreaming about bringing McSaviour back 'home'. Too bad they can't do simple math.

  20. So now it comes put Meat Loaf was an anti-vax dude and it was COVID-19 that took him out. RIP to him but lets hope this spurs a few more anti-vaxxers to think again.

    Since I'm watching football at the moment, shout out to new Giants GM Joe Shoen. He helped build the Bills team, hopefully this is the beginning of a new winning era. As for the new HC, personally I want the guy Miami let go Brian Flores.

    Well, they give the Habs about 2 minutes Amber and the Joker discuss Chiarot of Fire.

    Bieksa gives them props, it's no secret what happened with all the leaders that departed.

    Wow, I didn't realize that former Saint John Sea Dog Jonathan Huberdeau is 2nd in scoring in the league behind only the Great 8. I watched Huberdeau a lot here in SJ and you knew he was going to be good. In his draft year I thought he should have went 1st overall but ended up 3rd behind RNH to Edm and Landeskog to The Avs. I still think Florida got the best player, it just took him a little longer to get there. Also, Ovie leading the Rocket Richard trophy, I hope he keeps it out of slimy matthews hands.

  28. Had the game on delay, just caught up. Good to see Leko get one.an they've had some good chances that end up without a shot though.

    The AVS are fun to watch. I hope our Supers are taking notes since Clark says he wants a fast offensive minded team.

    2. … and a side story. I did my high schooling in Hamilton, grades 9 through 12, a francophone school, Georges P. Vanier … and as no grade 13 was offered there, decided to go to GCI, a 5 minute walk from home. A great school. I even took two ‘French’ courses, grammar and literature. I aced those. Bonus, I helped a few gal pal’s with their homework.

  35. On to OT. Points in three straight games for the first time all season I think.

  36. CP30 is the reason for this going to OT. Looking superb.

    That was a heck of a game from C3P0.

  38. the Maritimer9:58 PM

    DoHarm still hasn't figured how to deploy the right players in OT. Costs them a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I know there isn't a player that would willingly lose, but a game like that it sure looks like they have the green light to fight their asses off to get to OT...but we don't REALLY need that extra one. Toffees weak asses shot attempt and then Josh and Jake on the winner with no attempt to play defense.

    But what a game for CP30! He was outstanding. I was thinking we could also call him Larry...because he's pre-moe. I digress.

    And Nature Boy had a hell of a night too. Good to see the all Star playing like one.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh yeah, that's also the first time I've seen no penalty call turn into a high stick review, resulting in the offended player also getting called for a penalty with Dish's interference call. It's like they dream up new rules for the Habs.

    That said I remember Vodkov being called for high sticking, then the refs seeing the replay and cancelling the call, something I've never seen before or since.

  45. Nice loser point we would have to go on a super heater to screw up the tank formation. More or less we are guaranteed 3rd and thats our lucky number for drafting. Its looking more and more than the number one is yet to be determined. If I am picking 3rd I am taking the Russkie.

    I hope we keep Tider and Powerhorse, Dish and Munster, TFS and the SNAKE, somehow tank for the prize next year and then contend for the cup the following year.

    Only a casual interest in NFL but glad to see notorious doing my own research immunized QB go down. GO BILLS GO. I lived in the area for the Jim Kelly 4 peat and saw one game at the old Ralph Wilson.

    I didn't watch the Packers/49ers, too bad Mr. Rodgers, karma is a bitch.

    I think the Rams will beat the Brady Bunch later today, setting up an LA/SF conference final. I also think the Bills knock off KC.

    The Habs have found their No. 1 center in Nature Boy. Thanks Craig Rivet, the gift that keeps on giving. Look it up.

    1. Yes the Rivet trade tree is a thing of beauty. He may be a complete leaf living idiot but Dangle did a great job with the tree before this season. It's so extensive the video is about 20 minutes long. If memory serves, Habs also still have Allen, Northlander, Mysak and a couple picks this year. Crazy stuff.
