    Missed the first period but this is a pretty dull affair.

  5. A real snoozefest. Haven't watched much...channel surfing between football, curling and other more interesting games. Sadly the Canucks suck and are losing to FLA.

      Yeah, boring shite, Jax getting pummeled, might have to switch to leaf/broonz *gag* at least they look like they are interested in something. Maybe I'll find a junior game.

    A 2-1 loss, no shame there, shorthanded up front, only a few passengers tonight that I could see, I'm OK with the result.

  9. Wow. I stuck with the football game...LA up 27-0 before halftime and lose 31-30 on a last second FG!

  10. I was at a double bday party for my step-daughter and grandson, thankfully, it appears. At least the Leafs also lost. Heard some of the game on the radio on the trip home. Need to see what happened with Sevsns.

    1. I see it was from their #1 centre crushing his knee. At least it wasn't another concussion but damn, we don't have a surfeit of NHL-ready centres around. Hope he isn't out too long.

    It appears the Giants and the Habs are playing at the same time today. Habs are in NY, the Giants on the road in Minny. There will be lots of flipping back and forth. Go Habs! Go Giants!

    1. Should be a good game. Too close to call but I think Giants fall just short. Habs...well I don't see this being a good day.

      Agreed, Giants keep it close if Jones doesn't commit too many turnovers. The Habs take a thumping unless the Rags don't take them seriously. I wonder who's in net? Allen? I would give Monty the back to back rather than see Primeau lit up.

    Wow, couple of great pics of the Gumper, hacking a butt and bringing the pain.
    Can't believe the goalies used to play without masks, course the game might have been a little slower but anyway. Do we have any info on the Iron Kaiden knee? Surgery? Hope not.
    Go Habs

      I dunno, the Rags have a good defence, decent offence and a great goalie. Plus the coach that Florida kicked to the curb that's in NY now is pretty darn good.

  19. I said anybody but the Dolphins getting in...but if they can take down the mighty Bills, I'm good! Probably how folks felt about any team playing they Patriots in the Brady era.

      I know he's an ex-Cowboy but Darryl 'Moose' Johnson is a good colour guy.

    2. I liked Tony when he was new and 'refreshing'. Now he's a broken record for the most part.

      I've been most impressed with Kirk Herbstreit, the Thursday Night football colour guy. He also does lots of college ball.

      Tight game at the half. Giants not looking bad.

      Habs actually playing pretty well. Monty has found his early season mojo. Maybe he strives on being THE guy.

      My bad, it's Greg Olsen tonight, another TE, Carolina I think?

    5. Speaking of TEs, if your team loses it will be in large part due to TE TJ Hockenson. Down to the last 1/4 though and still in the lead.

    This Giants/Vikes game is going to come down to a late field goal I feel. Jones and Co. have hung in there on the road.

    Daniel Jones was exceptional today. Giants D was tremendous. They deserved to win that game.

    I switched over to watch the end of the Habs victory, Full Monty might have just stole the starting goalie job, temporarily at least.

    Whiskey is a star!

  28. Great team effort. Monty put in 6 very solid periods in 25 hours!

  29. So Minnesota just signed Matt Boldy to a $7x7 contract. Boldy was chosen 12th overall, three spots ahead of Caufield. He's played 32 fewer games than Cole. His career average of about 0.75 ppg is better than Cole's 0.69 ppg, but if you look at this year with CC being totally freed he is scoring at a 0.82 ppg pace, while Boldy is 0.69 ppg.

    While there are more factors when deciding a player's worth, using this signing as a reference, the Habs would be EXTREMELY lucky if Caufield is generous enough to sign at the same rate as his good buddy Nick's $7.875 per.

    Aside from the coming trades, that contract is the next big question mark.

      So long Tom, enjoy your 'retirement' ... without Gisele. What's that, you're going to go play with the Raiders? Are you nuts? Well, maybe you can meet your next partner in Vegas I guess.

      Watched the goat for years with New England not that I cheered for anything Baston but he and the organization was such a slick well oiled machine. I would marvel at how the club would lose people every year and every year they would be replaced with new talent. When he went to Tampa I was curious about the move but with Gronk and some others he pulled it off. That was the time to hang them up. But no. So now he has lost the girl, lost the family and now he is a looser at a sport he dominated. So what the fuck do you do now, quit a looser? Something tells me no so this sad sunset to an epic career will just fade to black. Sad. CHester knew when to pack it in. When he was 12 he retired from hockey and went out a winner... I digress. Anyway, Go Bills. Been a fan ever since Marv Levy left The Als for Buffalo.
      Further digression. I'll stop now.
      Go Habs

    G.I. Finn, 7Evans and Slowkovsky all to IR, no losses there other than Jake, he was playing good D even if he wasn't scoring. REM and RHP won't really change anything, stay the course steady as she goes. I don't think the Habs will get a top 5 pick unless they get some lottery luck but thye should get a Grade A prospect who I hope will simmer in the lower leagues for a while. No need to rush the newbies, they've got plenty of youngsters on the way. I truly hope they decide to keep Sean Monahan, he would be far more valuable than Colorado's 1st rounder in 2023. He takes so much pressure off Suzuki plus he's still a relatively young 28.
