You know what...I could play the "tank" game for one more night but you know what, the way things go, the Habs will end up trading the pick for the PLD circus anyway and you all know how little I want to see that happen...so what's the point? The only thing I've got tonight is what I'll always bring to a Habs game...JUST FUCKING WIN!
Love and Hate, and the Pretenders. What motivates the Bears more. Imporving on their false equicalcy record as the GOAT team in NHL history, thats love. But do they destroy Montreal chances in the lottery by losing on purpose, thats hate. Knowing the Broons they go with hate. DO NOT FEED THE HATERS
@UK3X, not to worry, HuGo are not trading their 1st round pick unless it is for McJesus. Now, FLA's pick for Jean Luc, that I can see. However, if Bedard lands in HuGo's lap all bets are off for PLD, they won't need him. He would have to take quite a discount to play in Montreal.
I AM the tank commander tonight. I have turned the channel to check on golf and curling only to flip back to see Boston have scored again. This has happened four times.
In true Broons fashion they had to take out our #1 D halfway through the game, then take our #2 D out for a pointless fight in the third to manage the go-ahead goal. Great effort by a super-depleted squad. Tough season but the future's so bright we gotra wear shades.

Montreal forward Brendan Gallagher revealed on Friday that he broke his ankle — twice — this season. The veteran said he broke his ankle blocking a shot in the 12th game of the season, then tried to play through the injury, only to break it again. Gallagher said, in hindsight, this was a bad idea and that he'd have to be smarter in the future. Fellow forward Sean Monahan had a similar admission, revealing that attempting to play on a broken foot led to the groin injury that ended his season early.
It's different management but the same issue. In the 2021 cup run, Do Harm insisted on playing the obviously injured Gallagher, Toffoli and another important player who eludes me at the moment vs Tampon Bay, while you had fresh young players like KK in the press box. I hope to hell they've learned their lesson this year and if not then somebody on the medical staff needs to go. Dr Mulder must be about 137 years old by now, maybe some new blood with new ideas will keep these players and their egos off the ice when they shouldn't be there.
They both admitted they screwed up trying to play with injuries. If they aren't truthful with the medical staff not much can be done. It sounds like most of them have realized they can't do that shite hence so many of them out. Matheson got his bell rung last night and they shut him down. Same as Hoff the game before. You have to think they have used up all the bad luck injury-wise by now.
Sounds like Monahan would like to come back for another season. Edmundson too. I would keep these two vets around for another year to help with the transition. Players like Barron and Farrell can percolate in the AHL for another year. Laval could end up a powerhouse with all the prospects next year. It wouldn't be a bad thing to win a championship in the minors.
Yeah, they try to push that narrative those two are equals. Narcos ain't even as good as l'il mitchie. This bullshit will pass when a.m. bolts for Vegas after next season. It'll be like he never existed.
This is a fucking rant. Its about the big playoff in the sky and the one here on earth and how they both are not the best. We used to live in this world where things made sense. Now at the macro level the deep state is pushing for war everywhere. Today they ask Japan to bake the Sachln Islands.\ At the micro level you cant ride the TTC without witness to or a victim of some Mad Max crazy.
But close to home its disgraceful what has happened. The non scandal scandal. SNC Laval, nothing burger, We nothing burger, Chinese influence, soon to be announced, nothing burger, The Trudeau foundation, nothing burger with no burger there.
Still our journalist find scandal. Our media giants want to topple something. They love some Penis Penis in their soup. The question is why. Why when we have such a good thing going do they want to destroy it???
I have a history degree from Western which is Ontario's McGill for History majors. I have thought deeply and in the end realized, like Ford, not Doug Ford, not Rob Ford, but the Chonicles of Zion Ford said "history is bunk" The victorious leader of America over Iraq said " In history in the end we are all dead" So very successful people who have pulled off huge nebulous movements that may have netted them billions of dollars say dont look at history. I am like the Taxi driver, you looking at me. I am like Jack " you cant handle the truth"
What I propose to save the world is a council of the greatest history majors of all time. Any move made by any government we can veto. Its just lke when Toronto Team calls a goal back, thats us. Sorry you used racism, and nationalism/tribalism to meet your objective, thats not a goal!
"If we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it". This was said by somebody much smarter than me.
If Justin Trudeau was smart he would learn from New Brunswick Liberal Premier Frank McKenna who governed from 1987 to 1997. He said when he was elected he would only do 10 years and them step down, as that seems to be about how long people will tolerate any politician who is in power. If JT doesn't want Portapotty and his gang of republican wannabes to take over, he needs to step aside gracefully. Soon.
Preach, Steve! Your idea is legitimately sound. That's why I have great respect for every word from Gwynne Dyer (military hisrorian/journalist) and Juan Cole (www.juancole.com)
Brandons song is a earworm for me; Th raw raw raw raw raw like lobster the only went to heaven 20 min before you ate them. You pay a lot for this beleb mee, and the butter is like galvanizeing a cake to lock in the delisous.
Cant eat cant sleep, cant drown out the sorrow with Whiskey, some permiem CC, Caulfied gives and exit interview with so many trap door out of town, I think they considered shutting down the brasardie interchange. Its near a river thats all i know. So Whiskey or CC or COLE the little guy who can score like a magincian at a very high perfomace level, IF CC was playing with tigers on the VEGAS STRIP which for sure he will be doing at age fourty. Can we sign this guy, its looking like all me. Sign for 5 x 20 or whatever it means.
I tune into the Grand Slam curling event which is taking place in Toronto. The announcer says "Welcome to the historic Maple Leaf Gardens...where the home team didn't win anything for decades!"
It's already a win of an evening with that. I'd love to know who that guy was and where he is from,.because he then went on to try to whip up the fans and said "Were now live on TV, make some noise...as if the Leafs finally won a playoff game!". Awesome. 'Series' would have worked better but I appreciate the effort.
Eyes on the prize did a Howie Moritz at center ice. It was to bad. So now this is my primary. I am locked and loaded in prep for the 2025 when the Habs come alive like the 71 dream team. So many pundits pushing the leaf as the cup winners, well I tell you what would throw a cork into Buttman would be a all CDN final. He would have to .....
Lots of talk that Matvei Mitchkov will fall in the Draft. If he is still there at 5, HuGo should be all over him. They can afford to wait, no need to rush an 18 year old into the league like they did with Slothkovsky.
Nyet to Russian players before regime change in their home country. Too much risk, and too many of the players turn out to be flakey "show-up-when-I-feel-like-it"-skis anyway. Vodkov was an exception.
I actually entered a bracket on nhl.com but was unable to join K3X's group because it doesn't recognize the password. But here's what I got, whether I believe it or not.

I got into a playoff pool at one of the local bars. First one in at least 4 years (pre-covid). I'll at least keep an eye on some games now. You had to pick 12 forwards, 6 D and 2 goalies plus you had to use a salary cap. Also, you could only take a max of 3 players per team. McD was too expensive but I got Leon, Yamamoto and Ekholm from the Oil, Nate, Leko and Byram from the Avs plus a smattering of East guys. Should be fun!
I've employed a new strategy with my leaf fan friends. Whenever they mention the leafs and start of the playoffs and tell me this is the year (though most of them aren't saying that), I'm telling them that I'm cheering for them and hope they win and give them a Go Leafs! And it pisses them off because they know a) I'm being sarcastic/facetious and think that b) my cheering for them (even facetiously) is detrimental to their chances. Mind games with leaf fans are fun.
Damning with faint praise is my way of throwing shade. "After all those years of lucking out in the draft lottery and cultivating all this talent, you'd have to think one of these years they'll advance past Round One, eh? Best to your Leafs in 2023, old friend!"
Oh yeah! One of those leafy friends of mines says it's already written that AZ will win the lottery AND trade the pick to the leaf for Underpants + Knies (who is apparently also from the desert) + ?. Considering how AZ is managed, this is actually plausible. Shudder.
- McCabe's hit was a headshot, the young guy never returned. - Cuthbert IS a leaf hack, he was so excited when the leaf got the second goal. - Bunting is getting suspended, ratface is still the King Rat but Bunting is a close second. - Narcos already thinking about Vegas. - Lots of empty (expensive) seats after the second period. - Loved how the camera kept showing Dubas and Keefe's faces as the leaf imploded in the second period.
The leaf continue on the road to a Doctorate in Hockey to learn lessons. They learned more lessons last night and will continue on the 7 year journey to advance past playoff 101. Tampa will be without two of the top 4 D men for game 2. Will this make a differance, nope.
The O-Dog said the leaf are way past the 'learning' stage. It was a pathetic response from Johnny Toronto. Time for narcos and li'l mitchie to put on their big boy pants and play some hockey instead of flipping pucks into the neutral zone and shooting from a distance. No matter, the leaf will fold up like a camp chair and be booking tee times soon.
Hockey Night in Toronto is the one of the reasons why I can now speak french. I gave up on those clowns when they brought in Mclame and The National Embarrassment. Why in the name anything holy would anyone bring in the ex head coach of the effin beaners?? That was pretty much it for me with this sfu clown bus. Pierre Houde is the Danny/Dick equivalent and the broadcast is slick. Unfortunately TVA pushed their way in but listening Maxim LaTurtle is still way better that having to stomach those leaf blowers en anglais mon estie. Go Bolts Go Habs
The commentators are all monty python black knights, the power play kill will make me stronger. Etc Etc Etc. This is not only a problem on sports media but media in general. We cant aford food, well here is a tax credit that will buy you enough catfood to eat for a month.
Do not want to take a chance on the second round. I want Boston to flush Florida, securing a 17th over all pick. At that spot I dont have a favorite. Big guy who can skate, with hockey sense and a quick release is all I ask for. I got 2nd overall at the Tank on my third try. Is that not the best hockey app ever?
After he left I bought a Rangers Lafeur sweater. I was wearing it on a flight from SAN Fran to Osaka when a notable person showed up. It was Jimmy Carter and he beleib I was a hockey player and you cant say no to a President. Long story short, I had a secrect service bodyguard on my 3 and the food was unbelievable. We had chautbriud and lobster tails that must have hurt the cows and lobsters for a couple of days. I got a photo to prove this was just not my imagination. Jimmey Carter had he not lost to RR in a fuckstorm or fuck shit double dealing death would have made America the nation the JFK thought it should be.
Helluva tale, steve. Carter's been in hospice a few weeks now. He was too good for America, we'll say. The wisest, most visionary and empathetic POTUS ever.
Why I talk nonsense, because if I made sense it would be a legal problem Intel internet guy Miniter in charge goes to Rodgers after soul crushing consumer deal
My concerns with PLD are mainly the circus he'll bring with him and the money he will want. No doubt he's a good player. I don't have any stronger reason for not wanting him apart from it strikes me as Druid all over again and look how well that worked out...in the end Hugo knows best and I can live with whatever decisions he makes
And binged the final season of Picard the last few nights. Great story with the old TNG cast...and a potential hint of a spinoff in the closing moments?
Haven't been watching much hockey. Like to watch the Oilers but they're on too damn late. Ditto on the Jets to see if PLD can change my mind on him. By all accounts he's having a great playoff.
The Book of Bobba Fett was the end of Star Wars for me. I'm strictly a Trek guy now, I watched all the series and know all the lore. Picard was great and a fitting finale for the TNG cast, unlike the awful Nemesis movie. I hope they do a spinoff with Captain Seven of Nine (who's still hot btw) and the new Enterprise. I just wish they would drop the letter after NCC-1701, once the old ship is retired who cares? You can distinguish the different models of the ship by the class, Constitution, Excalibur, Galaxy, etc. Trekkers know the difference.
I took a hockey break yesterday, we are bingeing The Last Ship on Amazon Prime. I like it, sure was predictive of the Covid epidemic.
I watched the Jets game Saturday, PLD was engaged in that game, there is NO comparison between him and Droumez, PLD would be a big (literally) addition to the Habs. Actually, I recorded and watched the U18 game yesterday morning. I was super impressed with Colby Barlow, he reminded me a lot of Powerhorse, big, fast and goes to the dirty areas.
- a broons win tomorrow bags the Habs FLAs pick at #17 - HuGo will have lots of picks to make or move - anyone surprised at the shitty reffing ? - LA Kings are better than I thought, imagine Bergy going to another Finals - I've said in the past that the leaf situation in regards to their media stooges will get worse before it (n)ever gets better, I can see the refs erring and the sfu just looking the other way - Id've liked, erm, loved to see Stamkos knock the porn stache off of Narco's shitgrinning face
1. Yes, traded to Winnipeg? 2. Yes. 3. Nope 4. L.A. made some good moves and Oilers have shitty goaltending. 5. leaf have the 'war' room in their back pocket 6. Yes
Ditto the M, but I like the idea of keeping MonaHab and Powerhorse instead of picking up PLD. Depends what other moves are made but few takers for Lep or Hoff or GI Finn, given their contracts so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if those three were all back.
PLD has proven he can be a playoff monster. With Dach, Nature and PLD we are a three headed beast. Just like the Leaf but 20 years younger, more powerful, more skilled and bigger hearts. Plus we dont pull our pants down in public. I say we make the PLD deal with the Flordia pick and sacrifice Jordan Harris or Struble or some swedish guy.
PLD wants to be a Hab So we wait till he comes to us next year and we get him for a bag of pucks No way we give up anybody to get him But I agree that we get him Go Habs
Yep as much as I hate the leaf and still want to see them epically collapse again from up 3-1, I'm not too sad about the Dolts and the db Kucherov losing. Vasilevsky is looking human I think is the most noticeable thing for me from last night, the first game I watched (about 60% of it anyway).
I hear ya, I hate the wretched leaf as much as anybody, but the douchebag Russian laughing at Habs fans in 2021, well fuck him. I only watched the 3rd period with the sound off and not one second of the clown show (intermission).
Yes my parents listened to Harry Brings back memories Course when Cream came out with Crossroads and stepenwolf magic carpet ride Harry sounded past tense Go Bolts Go Habs
Not much to talk about lately. If the Cats are eliminated tonight, or anytime before the conference finals Montreal gets pick #17. According to Blob McKenzie the 17th best prospect is Axel Sandin Pellikka. If the Habs end up picking this young man we have to dub him 'Rose".
Haven't watched one second of playoff hockey. That said, hope Tampa takes it to 7 games and wins. If one thinks/knows that the SFU is unbearable now ...
I've watched some of the beaners games, Shorthouse and Garrett have been great at calling the games unlike the leaf blowers butthurt and simpleton. I've also watched a bit of Jets games. Biggest reason I'm watching any games is I got into a hockey pool.
As for hockey I've watched bits here and there. Mostly interested/hoping the Oilers do well but really anybody but the wretched leaf is fine. Except the beaners. Fuck them too.
Just tuned in to watch the last two minutes as the Lightning held on to win Game 5 and the sad sad people in COTU land looked very sad. Sad sad, so sad, too bad, so so sad.
Hah! I wouldn't be too shocked if they come up with a win on Saturday actually. Nor would I be too shocked if Vaskilevskiy stones the Leaf for a performance akin to his Game 5 against the Habs in 2021.
Watched the recap and I can't figure out what Samsonov was doing on goals 2 and 3 if not overthinking and panicking. The Bolts are nestled deep in his head it seems.
As much as I dislike Mark Shitflea, I dislike the arrogant Golden Pissers even more. I wanted to see more of PLD before Chevy has to hand him over to HuGo for pennies on the dollar.
The Jets beat reporter over at leafnet wrote a scathing article last night. Sounds like there were many culprits regarding the Jets ouster and it may be time to reload or rebuild with many of their core players coming up into UFA. In the Jets defence however, Vegas pulled the Julien BriseBois special and the Pissers were $10 mil over the cap once the playoffs began. Plus, losing Morrissey, Ehlers and Shitflea didn't help. As for PLD, the one game I watched he was engaged and trying hard. Is he perfect? Of course not, who is? Look at Suzuki's +/-, not good and I saw more than a few brain cramps from him. It happens. PLD will be a good complimentary player, Montreal is Nick Suzuki's team. All that being said, I would not overpay for the guy, in players or money and I don't think Kent Hughes will, he is in the driver's seat. Finally, if the Habs win the lottery again, to buttman's chagrin, that changes everything.
In short I agree with M. We payed little for Drouin but it turned out to be a robbery. PLD has some baggage. Two teams he quit on. He would never be a star on brokeback Mt where they stars cant quit on anyone. I am with the get him for free crowd. We do not need him next year. Okay the Peg trades him to WHO? For Rodger Daltlery. So I expect the Peg who are clusterfucking as an organization that has never been seen before in NHL history, would be happy with the Panthers First and a bag of puck, how about Nealander, you want more well we got Joel Teasdale and his best friend. I wrote this back in 2011 and it has been precient that there will be no Peg NHL team in two years. https://thinkingaboot.blogspot.com/2011/06/peg-hockey-wives-winnipeg-highlights.html Sudbury would have had a better chance. If QC city is not viable, what is the PEG? The Peg is going to Houston or even more Ironic Atlanta, ha ha ha, those fans are still furious about the loss.
So the Peg destruction will be an earthquake of stars falling from the sky to seek better ice in north america. Its not just PLD, its Hellbuck, it Seffelie, its every one they have, that has to leave now. They are all tainted with the death brush of being pussy. I did not say they shoot and play like girls, just to be clear. Smorgasboard of plane crash with dazzled hockey players emegring from the wreck unscathed. I think I know what is wrong with the team in the PEG. Look two coaches have self destructed with this talented team. They have a GOD squad that has Jesus playing left wing.
Further to all the Jean Luc chatter, even some of the SFU clowns are chiming in. Word on the street is the leadership core in Winnipeg (mostly Wheeler and maybe Shitflea) has been terrible, a poisonous atmosphere in the room. So, PLD goes from one shitshow (Torts) to another. Laine wanted out of Winnipeg as well and got his wish. It's going to very interesting leading up to the Draft in June.
Interesting. Another respectable source is former G&M reporter (and Jets fan) Les Perreaux, who shared how mgmt has severely pissed off its core fanbase, being dismissive of season ticket holders' needs, and takj g tgem for granted generally. Could be a franchise in need of a thorough housecleaning.
When steve weighs in on a subject, where there's smoke there's fire. When the Habs trade for PLD, I expect to see steve's Drouin tee shirt on kijiji the next day.
I thought they were going to add some seats to the arena in the 'Peg? I don't think Gary would dare to move that franchise two times, he would never be allowed across the border ever again.
"I feel like it's a nice time to remind everyone that unlike the 1996 Red Wings, 2019 Lightning, and the 2023 Bruins, the 1977 Canadiens - the greatest team in hockey history - never struggled in the playoffs."
I watched that team and they were invincible. Steve Shutt said at an event I was at, "if we lost it was because we beat ourselves.
Agree Watered down talent due to too many teams as well as loser points Don’t think the today beaners would stand a chance against the 77 Habs Larry would smack the rat around first chance he got Go Bolts Go Habs
Much as Paul Maurice bugs the crap out of me, wiyh his pissy pissy Mr. Pissypants challenge on the hand pass (truly just an inadvertant finger deflection that I couldn't believe became justification to call back Bergeron's goal when it was 2-2), it would be pretty sweet to see the Broons bow out in Round 1 like that.
Paul Maurice is a great coach. The leaf almost ruined him and he left the Jets because of the toxic leadership group that quit on him. He could coach my team anytime.
This is fûcking awesome... https://www.ledroit.com/actualites/2023/04/28/lautoroute-50-sera-renommee-lautoroute-guy-lafleur-SUKTMZRCBVDARPBYHDOG6N527U/
That's awesome. I was on that route coming back from a quick visit to the Centre Slush Puppie when Bergie let KK go and then announced the Devo acquisition. It's three undivided lanes, mostly, with passing zones alternating every few kms, so you bob and weave along like the Flower carrying the puck up the ice. If there was a helipad at each end, it'd be bloody perfect.
Good description. HWY50 was to be the MTL Olympics HWY. The fücking PQ killed it for many decades, killing Mirabel airport in the process. I live 5 minutes from L'autoroute Guy Lafleur. It is a nice ride. It will be even more fun now renamed for The Flower. Thurso no longer reeks as they stopped using chemicals and have switched to mainly recycling. FÜCK legault and his ilk.

ReplyDelete20 min before you ate them. You pay a lot for this beleb mee, and the butter is like galvanizeing a cake to lock in the delisous.
Earworm cure: the inimitable Brendan Nolan himself in fine form working a tough crowd: https://youtu.be/Xa_gbnsC_yY
DeleteCant eat cant sleep, cant drown out the sorrow with Whiskey, some permiem CC, Caulfied gives and exit interview with so many trap door out of town, I think they considered shutting down the brasardie
ReplyDeleteinterchange. Its near a river thats all i know.
So Whiskey or CC or COLE the little guy who can score like a magincian at a very high perfomace level, IF CC was playing with tigers on the VEGAS STRIP which for sure he will be doing at age fourty.
Can we sign this guy, its looking like all me. Sign for 5 x 20 or whatever it means.
I tune into the Grand Slam curling event which is taking place in Toronto. The announcer says "Welcome to the historic Maple Leaf Gardens...where the home team didn't win anything for decades!"
ReplyDeleteIt's already a win of an evening with that. I'd love to know who that guy was and where he is from,.because he then went on to try to whip up the fans and said "Were now live on TV, make some noise...as if the Leafs finally won a playoff game!". Awesome. 'Series' would have worked better but I appreciate the effort.
Women defeat Swiss Misseses to head to the final against USA. There Will Be Blood is a great movie, but hoo boy, let's hope it stays just a movie.
ReplyDeleteEyes on the prize did a Howie Moritz at center ice. It was to bad. So now this is my primary. I am locked and loaded in prep for the 2025 when the Habs come alive like the 71 dream team.
ReplyDeleteSo many pundits pushing the leaf as the cup winners, well I tell you what would throw a cork into Buttman would be a all CDN final. He would have to .....
To get to the final, the Leaf would have to do something they have never accomplished in franchuse history and win three rounds.
DeleteLots of talk that Matvei Mitchkov will fall in the Draft. If he is still there at 5, HuGo should be all over him. They can afford to wait, no need to rush an 18 year old into the league like they did with Slothkovsky.
ReplyDeleteNyet to Russian players before regime change in their home country. Too much risk, and too many of the players turn out to be flakey "show-up-when-I-feel-like-it"-skis anyway. Vodkov was an exception.
DeleteMy foolish playoff predictions (no Cdn team gets to the second round in Buttman's NHL this year):
ReplyDeleteBroons in 6
Bolts in 5
Hurricanes in 6
Rags in 7
LA in 7
Avalanche in 6
Kuh-nigguts in 5
Wild in 7
I actually entered a bracket on nhl.com but was unable to join K3X's group because it doesn't recognize the password. But here's what I got, whether I believe it or not.

NYR in 7
COL in 5

Oil win the cup.
Frack you Bettman.
Your fucked you forgot Cpt Underpants has changed to spandex, they will never fall down again.
DeleteI got into a playoff pool at one of the local bars. First one in at least 4 years (pre-covid). I'll at least keep an eye on some games now. You had to pick 12 forwards, 6 D and 2 goalies plus you had to use a salary cap. Also, you could only take a max of 3 players per team. McD was too expensive but I got Leon, Yamamoto and Ekholm from the Oil, Nate, Leko and Byram from the Avs plus a smattering of East guys. Should be fun!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, FU SFU and F the leaf.
...or maybe the Oilers won't win the cup and they'll do their usual flame out. Brutal loss.
ReplyDeleteI've employed a new strategy with my leaf fan friends. Whenever they mention the leafs and start of the playoffs and tell me this is the year (though most of them aren't saying that), I'm telling them that I'm cheering for them and hope they win and give them a Go Leafs! And it pisses them off because they know a) I'm being sarcastic/facetious and think that b) my cheering for them (even facetiously) is detrimental to their chances. Mind games with leaf fans are fun.
ReplyDeleteleafools are their own worst enemy.
DeleteDamning with faint praise is my way of throwing shade. "After all those years of lucking out in the draft lottery and cultivating all this talent, you'd have to think one of these years they'll advance past Round One, eh? Best to your Leafs in 2023, old friend!"
DeleteAll I say to the leaf fans I know is: 'All they are doing is setting you up for disappointment.'
DeleteOh yeah! One of those leafy friends of mines says it's already written that AZ will win the lottery AND trade the pick to the leaf for Underpants + Knies (who is apparently also from the desert) + ?. Considering how AZ is managed, this is actually plausible. Shudder.
ReplyDeleteHeh. More leafool fantasy bullshit. Bill Armstrong the AZ GM would never trade the #1 pick. Never. Narcos is going to Vegas.
DeleteIts written on the hover dam, capt underpants lives here
DeleteSo about the sfu, the leaf and leafools...
ReplyDeleteThey can all fûck off. Too arrogant and ignorant to give the slightest of praise.
Go Tampa.
Yeah, fûck the leaf.
DeleteA sweep would be the most beautiful thing ever. Is that asking too much?
DeleteI want to see a beat down. The Lites are all history, the Leaf all question marks. I want to see at least 3 players sobbing on the benCH.
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm sad I missed that first period.
ReplyDeleteI missed it too. mclame, haharudy and fried-man all so sad. Too fucking funny.
DeleteHee hee, it just keeps getting better and better. Wish bergy had kept Corey Perry.
ReplyDeleteI love me some delicious leaf schadenfreude.
ReplyDeleteThey had the camera on Narcos on the bench briefly, he looks like he's already thinking about Vegas.
ReplyDeleteTD converted. Suck it SFU.
ReplyDeleteOh my my my.
ReplyDeleteCanadas team is smelling out the place
Oh goodness
Where is captain underpants when you need him
Oh my
Go Habs
Well how about that? As I suspected to wise Bolts were pacing tgemselves and keeping their powder dry for the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteThe handshakes will be softer this year.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!!
DeleteStarting my morning off with a nice coffee and checking the NHL hi-lites just to see what might have transpired last night. Hmmm?
ReplyDelete- McCabe's hit was a headshot, the young guy never returned.
ReplyDelete- Cuthbert IS a leaf hack, he was so excited when the leaf got the second goal.
- Bunting is getting suspended, ratface is still the King Rat but Bunting is a close second.
- Narcos already thinking about Vegas.
- Lots of empty (expensive) seats after the second period.
- Loved how the camera kept showing Dubas and Keefe's faces as the leaf imploded in the second period.
I might have to tune into Overdrive tonight to see if "O-Dog" still has his 'alumni jacket' all primed up for the cup win.
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I might have to check out Marek today on leafnet. Just for shits and giggles.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that even without a horse in the race, we can find entertainment in the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteI just had to add one of my favourite photos of all time to the top of the thread.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best playoff goals ever scored. For Habs fans anyway.
DeleteThe leaf continue on the road to a Doctorate in Hockey to learn lessons. They learned more lessons last night and will continue on the 7 year journey to advance past playoff 101.
ReplyDeleteTampa will be without two of the top 4 D men for game 2. Will this make a differance, nope.
The O-Dog said the leaf are way past the 'learning' stage. It was a pathetic response from Johnny Toronto. Time for narcos and li'l mitchie to put on their big boy pants and play some hockey instead of flipping pucks into the neutral zone and shooting from a distance. No matter, the leaf will fold up like a camp chair and be booking tee times soon.
DeleteFLA playing the beaners tough tonight. At least they have some backbone.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the clown show panel are still talking leaf?
Must read ...
ReplyDeletehttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-sportsnet-tries-to-give-its-audience-a-maple-leafs-fairy-tale-too-bad/
Excellent stuff, thank you. As the author points out, this is why HNIC has become unwatchable for most hockey fans.
DeleteHockey Night in Toronto is the one of the reasons why I can now speak french.
DeleteI gave up on those clowns when they brought in Mclame and The National Embarrassment.
Why in the name anything holy would anyone bring in the ex head coach of the effin beaners??
That was pretty much it for me with this sfu clown bus.
Pierre Houde is the Danny/Dick equivalent and the broadcast is slick. Unfortunately TVA pushed their way in but listening Maxim LaTurtle is still way better that having to stomach those leaf blowers en anglais mon estie.
Go Bolts
Go Habs
The commentators are all monty python black knights, the power play kill will make me stronger. Etc Etc Etc. This is not only a problem on sports media but media in general. We cant aford food, well here is a tax credit that will buy you enough catfood to eat for a month.
DeleteI watch a lot of game at friends house using onhockey.tv. The american teams make the HNIC guys look like haters
DeleteSo the beaners aren't invincible, hmmmmmmmm........
ReplyDeleteFirst intermission .... There will be splooge.
ReplyDelete6 to 1
ReplyDeleteWe'll never hear the end of this.

Who is the more smug looking prick, Cooper or Sheldon?
ReplyDeleteWell
ReplyDeleteThat's the classic do a split in their barn and come back home even.
Go Bolts

I am the one who is afraid now of the Leaf against a depleted Hedman
ReplyDeleteNo matter how this season ends, is there anyone who ever played hockey more hero than Corry Perry?
ReplyDeleteDo not want to take a chance on the second round. I want Boston to flush Florida, securing a 17th over all pick. At that spot I dont have a favorite. Big guy who can skate, with hockey sense and a quick release is all I ask for. I got 2nd overall at the Tank on my third try. Is that not the best hockey app ever?
ReplyDeleteI got #1 with my second spin.
DeleteAs Yul Brynner would say: "So it is written, so it shall be done."
One year ago today that we lost #10. RiP Flower
ReplyDeleteAfter he left I bought a Rangers Lafeur sweater. I was wearing it on a flight from SAN Fran to Osaka when a notable person showed up. It was Jimmy Carter and he beleib I was a hockey player and you cant say no to a President. Long story short, I had a secrect service bodyguard on my 3 and the food was unbelievable. We had chautbriud and lobster tails that must have hurt the cows and lobsters for a couple of days.
DeleteI got a photo to prove this was just not my imagination. Jimmey Carter had he not lost to RR in a fuckstorm or fuck shit double dealing death would have made America the nation the JFK thought it should be.
Helluva tale, steve. Carter's been in hospice a few weeks now. He was too good for America, we'll say. The wisest, most visionary and empathetic POTUS ever.
DeleteWhy I talk nonsense, because if I made sense it would be a legal problem
ReplyDeleteIntel internet guy Miniter in charge goes to Rodgers after soul crushing consumer deal
Quite a game between the Jets and the detestable Golden Pissers, they are even pre-empting the wretched, putrid leaf on CBC.
ReplyDeleteI know UK3X doesn't like PLD but man, he is engaged in this game.
ReplyDeleteAnd, 15,000 Jets fans make more noise than 18,000 leafools.
My concerns with PLD are mainly the circus he'll bring with him and the money he will want. No doubt he's a good player. I don't have any stronger reason for not wanting him apart from it strikes me as Druid all over again and look how well that worked out...in the end Hugo knows best and I can live with whatever decisions he makes
DeleteNarcos fights like a girl ffs. Embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of embarrasing, another leaf victory on the back of the video review.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the SFU and leafools are back to planning their victory parade but I would remind them that was only win number 2 last night not 4.
ReplyDeleteMy theory: depending on where Habs pick in the draft, if it's 1 or 2, no PLD. If they stay at 5-7, they pull the trigger on PLD and draft Reinbacher.
ReplyDeletePLD is comming home for 6 a year. You can take that to the bank.
DeleteFinished up The Mandolorian. What a great season!
ReplyDeleteAnd binged the final season of Picard the last few nights. Great story with the old TNG cast...and a potential hint of a spinoff in the closing moments?
Haven't been watching much hockey. Like to watch the Oilers but they're on too damn late. Ditto on the Jets to see if PLD can change my mind on him. By all accounts he's having a great playoff.
The Book of Bobba Fett was the end of Star Wars for me. I'm strictly a Trek guy now, I watched all the series and know all the lore. Picard was great and a fitting finale for the TNG cast, unlike the awful Nemesis movie. I hope they do a spinoff with Captain Seven of Nine (who's still hot btw) and the new Enterprise. I just wish they would drop the letter after NCC-1701, once the old ship is retired who cares? You can distinguish the different models of the ship by the class, Constitution, Excalibur, Galaxy, etc. Trekkers know the difference.
DeleteI took a hockey break yesterday, we are bingeing The Last Ship on Amazon Prime. I like it, sure was predictive of the Covid epidemic.
I watched the Jets game Saturday, PLD was engaged in that game, there is NO comparison between him and Droumez, PLD would be a big (literally) addition to the Habs. Actually, I recorded and watched the U18 game yesterday morning. I was super impressed with Colby Barlow, he reminded me a lot of Powerhorse, big, fast and goes to the dirty areas.
The last ship, way underated series, lots of USA USA but if you can handle that, its great.
DeleteSo Round 3 of the Q playoffs is set, with the Gatineau Olympiques (with Habs prospect Riley Kidney, playing in moeman's backyard) facing Patrick Roy's Québec Remparts. Meanwhile the other Roy's Sherbrooke Castors (that was their name in the 80s when I used to go see them play) will face the Halifax Mooseheads, in Saint Pad's backyard.
ReplyDeleteRandom thoughts;
ReplyDelete- a broons win tomorrow bags the Habs FLAs pick at #17
- HuGo will have lots of picks to make or move
- anyone surprised at the shitty reffing ?
- LA Kings are better than I thought, imagine Bergy going to another Finals
- I've said in the past that the leaf situation in regards to their media stooges will get worse before it (n)ever gets better, I can see the refs erring and the sfu just looking the other way
- Id've liked, erm, loved to see Stamkos knock the porn stache off of Narco's shitgrinning face
Sounds like that series is getting a bit nasty. I might have to bite the bullet and tune in to see a leaf get tuned up.
Delete1. Yes, traded to Winnipeg?
Delete2. Yes.
3. Nope
4. L.A. made some good moves and Oilers have shitty goaltending.
5. leaf have the 'war' room in their back pocket
6. Yes
Ditto the M, but I like the idea of keeping MonaHab and Powerhorse instead of picking up PLD. Depends what other moves are made but few takers for Lep or Hoff or GI Finn, given their contracts so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if those three were all back.
DeleteI could see a top 6 of:
ReplyDeleteCC Nature PLD
MonaHab Dach Powerhorse
Dvo traded, G.I. Finn bought out, the Hoff sticks around until the TDL.
If, IF, the Habs land Bedard, I could see either Monahan or Josh dropping to the 3rd line.
PLD has proven he can be a playoff monster. With Dach, Nature and PLD we are a three headed beast. Just like the Leaf but 20 years younger, more powerful, more skilled and bigger hearts. Plus we dont pull our pants down in public.
DeleteI say we make the PLD deal with the Flordia pick and sacrifice Jordan Harris or Struble or some swedish guy.
For sure one of the young D will be Winnipeg bound, probably Yodel as well.
DeletePLD wants to be a Hab
DeleteSo we wait till he comes to us next year and we get him for a bag of pucks
No way we give up anybody to get him
But I agree that we get him
Go Habs
One thing about these playoffs: a whole lotta PP goals
ReplyDeleteBolts are up this is good
ReplyDeleteThey got Hedman and point back
Fingers crossed they start a roll
Go Bolts
Go Habs
Careful, don't jinx it...
DeleteSuitably jinxed
DeleteOoops
DeleteGo bolts
Go Habs
Where was this Vaskilevsky in 2021 FFS?
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong for me to want the Laff to win this one so they can lose after leading 3-1 AGAIN?
ReplyDeleteThis is all we can hold on too, to pervent the waves of cognitive dissonce rendering our minds useless for days.
DeleteThey used "stranglehold" so you know it is not to be.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, looks like Father Time is catching up to the Dolts. Looks good on douchebag kucherov and smug Cooper.
ReplyDeleteYep as much as I hate the leaf and still want to see them epically collapse again from up 3-1, I'm not too sad about the Dolts and the db Kucherov losing. Vasilevsky is looking human I think is the most noticeable thing for me from last night, the first game I watched (about 60% of it anyway).
DeleteI hear ya, I hate the wretched leaf as much as anybody, but the douchebag Russian laughing at Habs fans in 2021, well fuck him. I only watched the 3rd period with the sound off and not one second of the clown show (intermission).
DeleteR.I.P. Harry Belafonte.
ReplyDeleteRIP Day Oh. My parents had one of his albums which I loved, mule skinner etc
DeleteYes my parents listened to Harry
DeleteBrings back memories
Course when Cream came out with Crossroads and stepenwolf magic carpet ride Harry sounded past tense
Go Bolts
Go Habs
For me it's Beetlejuice. That song made the scene that made the movie.
DeleteClass, skill and intelligence. Rest in Peace Sir.
DeleteNot much to talk about lately. If the Cats are eliminated tonight, or anytime before the conference finals Montreal gets pick #17. According to Blob McKenzie the 17th best prospect is Axel Sandin Pellikka. If the Habs end up picking this young man we have to dub him 'Rose".
ReplyDeleteSo what are we watching tonight, the wretched, putrid leaf of the NFL draft? I know what I'm watching and skating is not involved.
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched one second of playoff hockey.
DeleteThat said, hope Tampa takes it to 7 games and wins.
If one thinks/knows that the SFU is unbearable now ...
I've watched some of the beaners games, Shorthouse and Garrett have been great at calling the games unlike the leaf blowers butthurt and simpleton. I've also watched a bit of Jets games.
DeleteBiggest reason I'm watching any games is I got into a hockey pool.
Ex- scout mccagg would take Dvorsky over Will Smith at 5th, that's why he is still an ex-scout. As for Slaf, he will probably be the next Yakupov.
ReplyDeleteBesides, HuGo are picking 1 or 2 anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe Dolts are winning tonight just to fuck with the leafools heads.
ReplyDeleteDoes history repeat itself? Well 10 times in this century the leafs have lost this game. Lets make it 11.
DeleteFUCK. THE. LEAF. AND THE SFU.
ReplyDeletePoker night for me.
ReplyDeleteAs for hockey I've watched bits here and there. Mostly interested/hoping the Oilers do well but really anybody but the wretched leaf is fine. Except the beaners. Fuck them too.
moe's Steelers trade up to #14 from #17 with Saint Paddy's Patriots.
ReplyDeleteSteelers take an OT, 6'-5", 311lbs. That's a very large human being.
DeleteBB always trades down.
DeletePats got the corner they wanted at 17 plus a fourth round pick. Nice move.
Dolts 4 leaf 2, oh dear, looks like Canada's team will be postponing their 1st round victory party.
ReplyDeleteJust tuned in to watch the last two minutes as the Lightning held on to win Game 5 and the sad sad people in COTU land looked very sad. Sad sad, so sad, too bad, so so sad.
ReplyDeleteleaf 0-10 in elimination games in the last 6 post seasons. That's consistency.
ReplyDeleteStill watching the NFL Draft, fuck the leaf, leafnet, sfu, etc.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm done for the night. I'll see who the Giants get tomorrow.
I can hear the sphincters tightening in Toronto from here.
ReplyDeleteHah! I wouldn't be too shocked if they come up with a win on Saturday actually. Nor would I be too shocked if Vaskilevskiy stones the Leaf for a performance akin to his Game 5 against the Habs in 2021.
DeleteWatched the recap and I can't figure out what Samsonov was doing on goals 2 and 3 if not overthinking and panicking. The Bolts are nestled deep in his head it seems.
DeleteHey, how about that! One of my foolish predictions came true: Kuh-niggits in 5. Too bad for Shitfly.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I dislike Mark Shitflea, I dislike the arrogant Golden Pissers even more. I wanted to see more of PLD before Chevy has to hand him over to HuGo for pennies on the dollar.
DeleteBowness did not seem overly impressed and I don't see where the excitement is in his posibly coming here either.
DeleteThe Jets beat reporter over at leafnet wrote a scathing article last night. Sounds like there were many culprits regarding the Jets ouster and it may be time to reload or rebuild with many of their core players coming up into UFA. In the Jets defence however, Vegas pulled the Julien BriseBois special and the Pissers were $10 mil over the cap once the playoffs began. Plus, losing Morrissey, Ehlers and Shitflea didn't help. As for PLD, the one game I watched he was engaged and trying hard. Is he perfect? Of course not, who is? Look at Suzuki's +/-, not good and I saw more than a few brain cramps from him. It happens. PLD will be a good complimentary player, Montreal is Nick Suzuki's team. All that being said, I would not overpay for the guy, in players or money and I don't think Kent Hughes will, he is in the driver's seat. Finally, if the Habs win the lottery again, to buttman's chagrin, that changes everything.
DeleteIn short I agree with M. We payed little for Drouin but it turned out to be a robbery.
DeletePLD has some baggage. Two teams he quit on. He would never be a star on brokeback Mt where they stars cant quit on anyone.
I am with the get him for free crowd. We do not need him next year. Okay the Peg trades him to WHO? For Rodger Daltlery. So I expect the Peg who are clusterfucking as an organization that has never been seen before in NHL history, would be happy with the Panthers First and
a bag of puck, how about Nealander, you want more well we got Joel Teasdale and his best friend.
I wrote this back in 2011 and it has been precient that there will be no Peg NHL team in two years.
https://thinkingaboot.blogspot.com/2011/06/peg-hockey-wives-winnipeg-highlights.html
Sudbury would have had a better chance. If QC city is not viable, what is the PEG?
The Peg is going to Houston or even more Ironic Atlanta, ha ha ha, those fans are still furious about the loss.
So the Peg destruction will be an earthquake of stars falling from the sky to seek better ice in north america. Its not just PLD, its Hellbuck, it Seffelie, its every one they have, that has to leave now. They are all tainted with the death brush of being pussy. I did not say they shoot and play like girls, just to be clear.
Smorgasboard of plane crash with dazzled hockey players emegring from the wreck
unscathed.
I think I know what is wrong with the team in the PEG. Look two coaches have self destructed with this talented team. They have a GOD squad that has Jesus playing left wing.
Further to all the Jean Luc chatter, even some of the SFU clowns are chiming in. Word on the street is the leadership core in Winnipeg (mostly Wheeler and maybe Shitflea) has been terrible, a poisonous atmosphere in the room. So, PLD goes from one shitshow (Torts) to another. Laine wanted out of Winnipeg as well and got his wish. It's going to very interesting leading up to the Draft in June.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Another respectable source is former G&M reporter (and Jets fan) Les Perreaux, who shared how mgmt has severely pissed off its core fanbase, being dismissive of season ticket holders' needs, and takj g tgem for granted generally. Could be a franchise in need of a thorough housecleaning.
DeleteJesus christ M could you read my commet above. Peg as too much Jesus, the leaf have too little.
DeleteWhen steve weighs in on a subject, where there's smoke there's fire. When the Habs trade for PLD, I expect to see steve's Drouin tee shirt on kijiji the next day.
DeleteI thought they were going to add some seats to the arena in the 'Peg? I don't think Gary would dare to move that franchise two times, he would never be allowed across the border ever again.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment:
ReplyDelete"I feel like it's a nice time to remind everyone that unlike the 1996 Red Wings, 2019 Lightning, and the 2023 Bruins, the 1977 Canadiens - the greatest team in hockey history - never struggled in the playoffs."
I watched that team and they were invincible. Steve Shutt said at an event I was at, "if we lost it was because we beat ourselves.
Those other teams were phonies.
Agree
DeleteWatered down talent due to too many teams as well as loser points
Don’t think the today beaners would stand a chance against the 77 Habs
Larry would smack the rat around first chance he got
Go Bolts
Go Habs
Canes advance in 6, just as I foolishly called it. Got some others wrong already.
ReplyDeleteDallas advances; my first complete miss. When will long-suffering Minnesota fans ever have their day?
ReplyDeleteOh my oh my
ReplyDeleteThe beaners are in tight now
Uh oh
Go Cats
Go Bolts
Go Habs
I will LMFAO if the stupid beaners lose in the 1st round. Greatest team my ass!
ReplyDeleteMuch as Paul Maurice bugs the crap out of me, wiyh his pissy pissy Mr. Pissypants challenge on the hand pass (truly just an inadvertant finger deflection that I couldn't believe became justification to call back Bergeron's goal when it was 2-2), it would be pretty sweet to see the Broons bow out in Round 1 like that.
DeletePaul Maurice is a great coach. The leaf almost ruined him and he left the Jets because of the toxic leadership group that quit on him. He could coach my team anytime.
DeleteThis is fûcking awesome...

That's awesome. I was on that route coming back from a quick visit to the Centre Slush Puppie when Bergie let KK go and then announced the Devo acquisition. It's three undivided lanes, mostly, with passing zones alternating every few kms, so you bob and weave along like the Flower carrying the puck up the ice. If there was a helipad at each end, it'd be bloody perfect.
