I have decided that (at least to start anyway) I am not gonna lose my shit over a loss. I will still be hard on shit play but as long as the effort is there this season is all about building. They can learn from a loss...All that being said...don't lose to fucking leaf ecer...
I was reading an article earlier today that mentioned there are only 6 players left from the 2021 Cup run. Quite a turnover but the deconstruct and rebuild started almost immediately after when bargainbin was axed and DoHarm not long after. Hoping for a close match tonight.
I am seriously verklempt to show up here after almost a year's absence and see the familiar "faces" of moe, the M, K3X, and Saint Pad. I love you people. And moe your dedication to keep this going earns an extra dose of verklempt-ness.
Leftover thanksgiving turkey (still) and good bourbon (Angel's Envy). Not very glamourous for opening night!
For dessert I will eat THC-infused beef jerky, because our stupid fucking Quebec government is too paternalistic to think we are mature enough to handle gummies
I am in full go you fucking Habs Go Mode. Will x x fie Billy Jack Wifi fi fight the terminator? I predict a blowout for our side. The Leaf D is pourus.
for those of you who do not have a special friend with ONHOCKEY.TV and using the free version of ADBLOCK, just keep paying for the compressed shit from the man.
@Young HF29, although I am mostly a single malt scotch snob, I have migrated over to trying some good bourbon whiskey. Two I can recommend: Basil Hayden and Elijah Craig. Angel's Envy has been one I want to try, thanks for the tip.
I was a single malt scotch snob as well. Trust me, I still am! But I have broadened my palate to good bourbons. They are very different as I am sure you know, but just as enjoyable
Love both Basil and Elijah. Elijah is my go to day to day, at that price point (around $45 in the 514) it can't be beat. Angel's Envy is higher priced, around $75-80 here, but it is magnificent. And seriously $75 is cheap compared to what my preferred "base" single malts (Cragganmore, Auchentashan 3 wood) cost these days.
Moe keeping this place here is a blessing. 29 back in da house is also a blessing. We are a family and I love that people can drop in for a chat, fuck off for a bit then come back and pick it up like they never left...that's what true friends are all about. Now just fucking win!
Gotta hand it to the lead...they have just won the first award of the season...worst opening night player intros ever! Place is a fucking morgue. Unbelievable...but hardly surprising
Good first period, the Habs looked prepared and ready, unlike many games last year when they gave up a goal in the first 30 seconds. Managed to keep pace with the best team in the history of the universe too.
Just back from the best.gamr.of curling out team has ever played. And we lost. It was 1 point.per end for seven ends. Sadly they had last shot to the four foot for the win. Trust me it's riveting! Of course, losers get a free drink, so there is no real losing.
Think I'll check out the first period in delay. Not sure if.ill catch up for commenting or not.
I considered reading some articles from the leaf perspective but I saw the heading "Matthews an animal on the ice" and opted to pass.
Hopefully they learn from this and don't panic in trying to close out games in the future. My big winner on the night was Slafkovsky. The hustle and beautiful pass to Newhook was awesome, he was back-checking, winning some battles and only got knocked down a couple of times. A few times he held the puck and did some good things with it. There is definitely growth there and hopefully MSL brings out a lot more in him as the year wears on. I thought he should have started in Laval, but if he keeps improving, I'll fully admit I was wrong.
Army needs to score a ton of goals in Laval to get his confidence and mojo back. Then, if an injury warrants a call up, he might be able to contribute. For now though, he needs to stay where he is
saw the highlites... theres no way they can call that goal off. monoham made a clear effort to avoid contact with the guy keeping him offside and he did a great dance to stay the line as well. absolute garb they called it back.
also absolute garb the boys blew a 2 goal lead, twice. smh.... still very pleased they were leading so many times. screw the build. win now. its possible. even with snakie in goal.
oh... and that campbell cup photo... where is 7evens? was he still KO'd from that cheapo by schiefflie?
oh oh... and i havent been around these last 2 yrs cause im still not over it.
Habs bus driver owned the cottage we stayed at.
ReplyDeleteNice old photos. Welcome back!
DeleteIt's muther fuckin hockey season bitches! Go You Fucking Habs Go!
ReplyDeleteI am off the Tank and on the Bus, Just Fucking win.
DeleteWay to go moe! Before I noticed the names, the only one I could pick out was the Rocket on the far right. No mistaking those eyes.
ReplyDeleteThat B&W/ Colour photo from the Habs trip to the final is amazing and eye opening. It feels like an eternity ago now.
Might be time to grey out Armia too...
It's my leaf fan brother's birthday. Do not gift him a win! He was about 19 months old when they last won the cup. That's good enough.

Deletedream big the M!
DeleteOh Look! Gambling ads on sportsBet, who knew?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah and f_ck the leaf.
maybe it's the beef jerky kicking in, but I thought I saw plenty of Habs representation in that Blur Song 2 intro on Sportsnet
ReplyDeleteugh do I have to sit through the Laffs being introduced?

ReplyDeleteI've seen louder fans at golf tournament introductions.
ReplyDeleteHook!
ReplyDeleteShiney, need a new hook nic, cause he is a beaut
ReplyDeletewhiskey a go go, the rout is on
ReplyDeleteWhiskey!
ReplyDeleteMacallan!!
ReplyDeleteeff you war room
ReplyDeletebuttman shutting us down
ReplyDeleteMax Dovi
ReplyDeleteBooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteIt should be 3-0 Habs but the biased refs from Ontario make it 2-2. And yes that was a Max dive.
ReplyDeleteLOL of course, who's calling these penalties on the Habs? sportsBet?
ReplyDeleteIt's Tilted https://youtu.be/3GgUxfeQnZw?si=iQe20NpuNJV_EKdT
DeleteBJs for all the refs tonight courtesy of sportsBet
ReplyDeleteBet the leaf get the next pp
ReplyDeleteCaught up.
ReplyDeleteThe penalties on Suzuki and Newhook are two of the softest calls you'll ever see.
Whiskey!
ReplyDeleteF you Bettman.
Now Whiskey!
ReplyDeleteTake that one away motherfuckers
ReplyDeleteMore hookers!
ReplyDeleteAh, the tip. Hookers, lol
DeleteLC!
ReplyDeleteSlaf is having a great night.
ReplyDeleteHook II
ReplyDeleteY!!! I don't know his Nick.
ReplyDelete(Y)!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey I just noticed scarface behind the leaf bench.
ReplyDeleteFuck
ReplyDeleteAllan would like a couple of these goals back.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have a dollar every time they show narcos ugly mug on the bench
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrid, horrid lousy PP. You better get to work on that Marty or your team is only going one place. Too the bottom again.
ReplyDeleteIf Burrows is still employed at Christmas, it will tell you they are not serious about winning yet.
DeleteWell that fucking sucked.
ReplyDeleteTough one to let slip away, but a SO loss to the October cup champs ain't the worst thing that could happen.
ReplyDeleteThey gave that win to the leaf, shitty 2nd period, couldn't find on empty net goal in a 3 minute span and too, too many soft goals against. Awful.
DeleteLots to like
ReplyDeleteI considered reading some articles from the leaf perspective but I saw the heading "Matthews an animal on the ice" and opted to pass.

I thought he should have started in Laval, but if he keeps improving, I'll fully admit I was wrong.
Monahan was really good last night. The Dach line and X-Man were outstanding.
DeleteSaw the hilites. Habs played well but they need to concentrate on D when they have a 2 goal lead that late in the game.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Slafkovsky's nick name should be The Medicine Show.
ReplyDeleteThe YES line Kid A, Monohab and Person, they are Fragile.

DeleteGI Joel scores for the Rocket. Seems out of place in the AHL. Maybe some team will want him if he scores a bunch down there...
