Confession: legit realised my old #22 Begin T was what I was wearing during the Habs' only two wins so far, so scurried aroind yil I found it and put it on presently. JFW!
Saw some of the pregame ceremony, then missed the first 2 minutes of the game and they're down 2 already ffs! Embarrassing in front of that group of legends. I don't care about injuries, that is unforgivable.
See, for the last 13 min. we had knly 4 D. Trouba definitely should've got a major and game misconduct for the blatant, unnecessarily violent elbow to Barron. Such BS
Well that was smelly I think we saw the soft pink underbelly tonight Love MSL but think we will get to the point where we need a little structure Or a lot more than what we currently have Don’t want to be that guy beating the dead horse but that’s four in a row and tonight had a we are missing something feel Anyway On to tomorrow! Go Habs
Yep, this rebuild is going to take a little longer than we thought.
When I was at trivia I saw an update on one of the TVs that the Rags were up 4 zip and there was no point in putting the game on when I got home. That had to be embarrassing for the 70s guys to watch. Shame on the current team.
With our early victories to start the season including a beat of the leaf we clearly had a bad case of InTheMixitis Using the rangers as a good example We are missing a Bread Man at least one grade A goalie and at least one snarling large mother fucker forward I know that’s not our style but it’s 2024 and a couple of those are very useful provided they can also play hockey I know we have The Ax Man but according to Master Windoo he is a Jedi, keeper of the peace, not a soldier he will even scores not shit disturb I am encouraged by the vets on the fourth Andy the PKer and The Gally-ay-tor playing with Sevens who is sparkling all by himself If we are going to be InTheMixing it’s going to be much later in our campaign So bring on the smellies let’s get them over with Let’s continue to grow and learn to play with one another We have pieces we can move around and experiment with But the faithful are starting to grumble We needed The Wool Man to ride in on his horse and that was a stinger that still smarts But we focus and reload Two from The Captain was a good omen Let’s keep the faith Go Habs
I hate to say it but ... I think the problem is : coaching. I know they are (mostly) young but some of these guys are in their 3rd year in the league, Captain Nature has been there since 2020. Why can't they play defence, even the most basic version? I've never seen a team so disorganized in their own end and get pinned in there so easily. It's indeed early but if they can't figure this out there is no 'in the mix' to be had. The bloom may be coming off the HuGo rose.
I’m cautiously in agreement I’ve played sports There has to be some form of system Remember doharm nobody could understand it much less play his system The opposite of him was chocula With his mind numbing approach to a beautiful game Let’s face it MSL talks floors both upper and lower and when you don’t have the puck etc which is wonderful But then the effin blue shirts come in and demonstrate how to play hockey If Marty is going to be Marty put in place some experienced defense and offense assistant coaches who lay down the framework Where’s lemaire and green or Larry Couldn’t hurt Go Habs
I'm watching Marinaro's podcast from last night and Max Lapierre is his guest. He nails what is wrong with the Canadiens. NAILS it. Sometimes the truth hurts.
There were two things that Lapierre said about the team that stood out to me. First, they have little speed. He said Cole and Lane are agile but are not speedy. Nick, good puck handler but not fast. Josh is fast but doesn't know where to go. The rest, meh. They are not gritty, they don't win many puck battles and that is obvious to even the casual viewer. Second, don't blame the coaches. They fired chokula, Randy C., eMTy, clod and doharm. What about the players? Max said they need to change something in the locker room, make a trade, send somebody to the minors, do something. These guys know they are safe. Who is going to take their chair? There doesn't seem to be any urgency to turn things around and start winning. They've been steam rolled 3 out of the last 4 games. Hello, maybe have a team meeting? Jake Evans said after the Rags game they are tired of losing and knowing they've lost by the end of the first. Better wake up then buddy, time's a'wastin'...
I'm not trying to be negative just pointing out that being young can't be an excuse all the time. Yes, throw out the NY game as an anomaly as the Rags are a powerhouse team ready to win and the Habs were missing several key players plus Kirby who is just a shadow of himself. But, like Max said, they need a spark of some kind. If they don't want to change any of the players, at least put AX back in and turn him loose. Get some energy early with some big hits or something. The Habs just seem like they are dead in the water too many times. BTW, Mr. Barron better learn to keep his head up and who is on the ice. Trouba's hit was shoulder to the head but he gets away with that all the time. He hits to hurt not separate you from the puck. Intentionally.
I was just thinking, Trouba must have trained at the Cobra Kai karate dojo under John Kreese (Martin Kove) and lives by their motto : Strike first. Strike hard. No mercy. 🥋
I often thinkaboot and sometimes I dont. The calls the CoaCH is out of is league are garbage. Empty take them back to the beer store. We are fucked, yes, but Marty is the answer not the cause.
Well Clearly we’re all going to die Marty has no system He hates The Ax Man Our team is slow Our team gives up after one period We can’t score We can’t defend We need assistant coaches The bad guys are hurting our good guys Our goalie can’t catch And if that isn’t bad enough Maxim La Turtle knows what’s wrong It’s clear We’re all going to die Go Habs
Dead as a turkey on Merican Thanksgiving. I got two ways to fix the NHL. First we have a soccer like premier and secondary NHL. Second the PP is 5 on 3 all day all the time.
It’s pretty clear the MSL honeymoon is coming to an end The criticism is start to ramp up as expectations increase There are more and more articles being written about Marty and his defensive approach I’m thinking the rable are grumbling The next step will be to break out the torches I am but a humble Habs fan but lots has been said of the talent level of especially our D men I’m really hoping this turns around soonest And MSL better not be playing any mind fuck with The Ax Man The amount of patience given BVK while he stumbles around compared to Ax getting sent down and benched is uneaven at best CHester has one eyebrow raised Go Habs
For the record I was a huge JT fan and still prefer him to the rotten alternatives. The carbon tax is the best tax since the GST. Tax what you want to get rid of. Anyway the color revolution is eating into my brain, I realized it was turning to star spangles maple suryp when I started hummng this song. https://youtu.be/MSJ8_wfxfXI
I think the media is starting to turn on Coach Marty. If they beat the drums hard enough the fans will follow soon enough. I will just say I am very disappointed in the start of the season. The players talk the talk but actions speak louder than words. Show some effort please.
Marty came in after Doharm had almost completed his confidence snuffing overly complicated system of who knows what MSL restored CCs and others confidence He calmed the waters and had everybody singing combaya He spent his practices explaining time and space to wide eyed kids telling them everything is ok just have fun and there was zero pressure to produce from fan’s management and press Well just as the players need to take the next step so does Marty I hope he’s got another gear I remember that interview with John Cooper last year where he was leaning against a door frame being Clint Eastwood cool Well watching the pressers with Marty he’s got that Cooper cool goin on I fear for Marty If you take a step back and look at the forwards there has been some progress The PP yes the PK yes but the D no Hard no And if it’s a who’s cooler competition between him and Mr Ax Man little Marty looses I fear for our little Marty This place will eat you up and spit you out If he’s smart he’ll put Mr Ax back in and hire a respected D coach Just some thoughts Go Habs
I don't believe Molson/HuGo will ever fire Marty. He will leave on his own terms if that's what he decides. Marty is capable of good one on one instructions with the forwards, it's the Dmen where it gets sketchy. Is Robidas the guy? Who knows.
Robidas seemed to do great last year. Keeping either Tweed or HondaCivic over BVK might've been wiser. Hindsight being what it is. This is a very young, inexperienced D corps compared to the teams they've played so far.
I feel I should remind everybody that the high-calibre teams and packed schedule the Habs have had to start the season with is perhaps part of the reason they are off to a disappointing start. Ghoul and Slaf both out, now Red Barron. Anyway, Ax is in tonight and the Blues don't have Thomas. Expect a good effort tonight. GYFHG!
I hope you are right regarding the effort tonight. I also hope the goalies are focused to start the game so they don't find themselves in a hole out of the gate. But, I have found myself casting an eye towards the Tankathon wheel already, one name has caught my attention --- Roger McQueen --- how could we not call him steve??
Seems all I read about is trading The Ax Man You know we finally have someone who does what he does and MSL just picks away at him If he gets traded cause msl picks away at him I’ll be rethinking MSL and his blabber talk Go Habs
I don't see it as MSL picking at AX. He's just telling it like it is, that AX needs to work on his defensive coverage, which AX himself has agreed hasn't been up to snuff. He gets a chance tonight to show the coach he's putting in the work and trending in the right direction.
As for the talk of trading him, I don't put an ounce of credibility towards stories that media and fans stir up in this market.
They need some new boards because de fence is broken. Who can fix that? Carbonneau? Robinson? Too late, too old now, sadly. Markov? In my dreams but will never happen. Plekanec? Maybe. It doesn't have to be a defenseman and I don't think Robidas has done much of a job.
Good game by Monty. Two tenders whose names have been thrown around as potential Team Canada starters, or at least members. I know which one is choose...the one who isn't a giant dick and let in 4 goals against the Habs, who have trouble scoring in general.
Hey folks, I'm a little late to the party as I was watching on delay, watched the grandson play earlier. A couple of observations : as SiM said, a clean game for a change, probably because there were no headhunters on the ice. Hughes needs to go get a steady, veteran D to play the right side as #24 needs to go back to Laval and learn the defensive side of the game, way too many obvious mistakes being made. AX was steady, played within his limits. Fast Lane is just fine where he is and is quickly morphing into their best D. The Suzuki line is coming around, it was a Godsend putting Dach with NickCole, I hope they keep Kirby with them for a bit until he really gets going. No softies from Monty, that helps the team confidence. The fried-man blathering that Hughes is looking for that D and a forward with an edge. Make it so.
Finally, Oh dear, the SFU pets are not looking so good lately and the new El Capitan is struggling in the limelight, he ain't cut out for that role, maybe the wheels are starting to fall off that heap. We can only hope.
CHester still has one eyebrow raised when it comes to Cooper cool Marty and The Ax Man I don’t know why I am so involved with Ax and his career it’s curious I think we had as Saint Paddy says some tough teams to play at the git go so maybe I need to breath thru the nose a little bit but Marty better not play any games cause I’m watching him Go Habs
A reminder to all, including myself, it is still October and all is not lost. Even though it's obvious there are things to clear up, a regulation W vs Philthy on Sunday and losses by the Sens and Drawings, Habs leapfrog 4 teams in the Atlantic, to sit above the 2 aforementioned, plus the wretched leaf and beaners, even if level in points.
Point being, there is a lot of time to right the ship and keep on improving. Get Ghuoul and Slaf back, maybe add that toughness the Fried Man was talking about (maybe get Fiver back?), maybe a veteran D and hang in there until Wool is back, and just maybe this team sticks around to 'stay in the mix' as the team's Brass like to put it.
Definitely had a couple of stinker games but never use the played up to or down to an opponent. Leave those kind of comments for the sfu and their leaf.
Right from the get go they played hard, 7Evans line dominated on the first shift. Other than that short stretch in the second it was a great performance. They all should rewatch the video to reinforce that type of game. I'm not sure they can pull it off two games in a row but here's hoping. The Phuquers played yesterday as well so there will be two tired teams playing.
was a time peole elected someone who was people. Now its all dominatin like some kind of kinky sex politics, where if you are hard on enough erections or even some strap one you are working the the man.
Yep we all knew it was coming when he announced a 1% reduction in the HST starting April 1 (maybe it's a joke 🤣). After the Liberal leader promised a 2% reduction if they win the next election.
Honestly the party doesn't really seem to matter here in NS. This government seems more Liberal, where the former Liberal gov, led by Stephen "Stay the Blazes Home" McNeil was far more conservative, putting in anti-worker legislation in provincial unions and scrapping the film industry credits.
I think Houston feels pretty safe is why he's done this now, even though the first legislation he put in place is fixed election dates.
Yeah, I think Houston is safe. Higgs went off the rails the last year fighting with education people over trans kids and nominating an ultra right wing Christian nut job in the riding of Hampton where she didn't even live. Higgs was a great fiscal manager and rescued the province from bankruptcy but couldn't balance that with helping people with cost of living measures. He was too Scrooge-like in the end and cost him his government and his own riding. He too tried to buy votes with a 2% HST cut but when you do the math that only helps if you are buying a big ticket item. Saving a buck on a $50 buy doesn't move the needle.
That's only their 2nd win and heading into this week there were 10 teams with 2 wins or less. Not a lot of parity in the NFL, unless you say half the league is shite and the other half contenders.
Have to stop these goals 25 seconds apart Happens too often So I’m liking the weekend results Now to see if we can keep it going against the big boys in the east Go Habs
The sfu still has their wretchedleaf ahead of the Habs based on goal differential. I'm pretty sure head to head record counts as the first tie breaker but, whatever.
I'm watching The Penguin and I really like it. I still can't believe it's Colin Farrell under that makeup and he's doing a phenomenal job as Oswald. Whether you're into the batman universe or not, it's worth a watch...so long as you're into dark and gritty shit. Watching The Batman will give you a bit of a prelude to the events of this series.
Thanks for the heads up but pass. After the Christopher Nolan trilogy I had had enough of the Bat. I am looking forward to James Gunn's take on the DCU though.
Honestly, I thought the Giants would be buried by the half. But, somehow they are sticking around and Daniel von Klumsy hasn't turned the ball over yet. Oh well, still two quarters to go for that to happen. Good effort by the NY D tonight.
RIP. One of her early appearances was on the Original Star Trek series in the episode : Assignment Earth, where Kirk and Spock travel back to present day Earth (1967) to prevent the establishing of orbital nuclear weapons. It's one of my favourites. She played the part of a young executive assistant to Gary Seven played by Robert Lansing.

ReplyDeleteThat 3rd goal brought to you by Lame Hutson. He creeps into the game every once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteWatching Marty's squad against the mature Rags is more like watching a pile of big puppies at the dog park than an NHL team.
ReplyDeleteWith that goal, this team has now allowed more goals in 8 minutes of this game than the Habs allowed in the entire 76-77 season.
ReplyDeleteNot on Monty.
ReplyDeleteCould be worse. Could be down 3-0 to Columbus.

DeleteAll my comments aging like milk tonight.
DeleteJust got in from Trivia night. Am I missing anything?
ReplyDeleteLotsa sloppiness mostly. In addition to scoring 5 easy goals, the Rags have hit iron at least three or four times. Very much Youth Squad Hockey.
DeleteTrouba is such a fucking Trouba
ReplyDeleteWTF? Refs are morons
ReplyDeleteSee, for the last 13 min. we had knly 4 D. Trouba definitely should've got a major and game misconduct for the blatant, unnecessarily violent elbow to Barron. Such BS
DeleteAnd that is why you keep AX in the lineup.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is exactly, yes, why Ax needs to be in the fucking lineup. You need your Ax, Marty!
DeleteWell that was smelly
ReplyDeleteI think we saw the soft pink underbelly tonight
Love MSL but think we will get to the point where we need a little structure
Or a lot more than what we currently have
Don’t want to be that guy beating the dead horse but that’s four in a row and tonight had a we are missing something feel
Anyway
On to tomorrow!
Go Habs
Missing: Guhle, Slavkoskỳ, Ax, Laine
DeleteAlso missing a defence and an offence.
ReplyDeleteGo Habs
Yep, this rebuild is going to take a little longer than we thought.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was at trivia I saw an update on one of the TVs that the Rags were up 4 zip and there was no point in putting the game on when I got home. That had to be embarrassing for the 70s guys to watch. Shame on the current team.

DeleteWith our early victories to start the season including a beat of the leaf we clearly had a bad case of InTheMixitis
ReplyDeleteUsing the rangers as a good example
We are missing a Bread Man at least one grade A goalie and at least one snarling large mother fucker forward
I know that’s not our style but it’s 2024 and a couple of those are very useful provided they can also play hockey
I know we have The Ax Man but according to Master Windoo he is a Jedi, keeper of the peace, not a soldier he will even scores not shit disturb
I am encouraged by the vets on the fourth
Andy the PKer and The Gally-ay-tor playing with Sevens who is sparkling all by himself
If we are going to be InTheMixing it’s going to be much later in our campaign
So bring on the smellies let’s get them over with
Let’s continue to grow and learn to play with one another
We have pieces we can move around and experiment with
But the faithful are starting to grumble
We needed The Wool Man to ride in on his horse and that was a stinger that still smarts
But we focus and reload
Two from The Captain was a good omen
Let’s keep the faith

ReplyDeleteMarty came in after Doharm had almost completed his confidence snuffing overly complicated system of who knows what
ReplyDeleteMSL restored CCs and others confidence
He calmed the waters and had everybody singing combaya
He spent his practices explaining time and space to wide eyed kids telling them everything is ok just have fun and there was zero pressure to produce from fan’s management and press
Well just as the players need to take the next step so does Marty
I hope he’s got another gear
I remember that interview with John Cooper last year where he was leaning against a door frame being Clint Eastwood cool
Well watching the pressers with Marty he’s got that Cooper cool goin on
I fear for Marty
If you take a step back and look at the forwards there has been some progress
The PP yes the PK yes but the D no
Hard no
And if it’s a who’s cooler competition between him and Mr Ax Man little Marty looses
I fear for our little Marty
This place will eat you up and spit you out
If he’s smart he’ll put Mr Ax back in and hire a respected D coach
Just some thoughts

AX was steady, played within his limits. Fast Lane is just fine where he is and is quickly morphing into their best D. The Suzuki line is coming around, it was a Godsend putting Dach with NickCole, I hope they keep Kirby with them for a bit until he really gets going. No softies from Monty, that helps the team confidence. The fried-man blathering that Hughes is looking for that D and a forward with an edge. Make it so.
ReplyDeleteFinally, Oh dear, the SFU pets are not looking so good lately and the new El Capitan is struggling in the limelight, he ain't cut out for that role, maybe the wheels are starting to fall off that heap. We can only hope.
That win will soothe a lot of nerves as well. Right CHester?
DeleteCHester still has one eyebrow raised when it comes to Cooper cool Marty and The Ax Man
DeleteI don’t know why I am so involved with Ax and his career it’s curious
I think we had as Saint Paddy says some tough teams to play at the git go so maybe I need to breath thru the nose a little bit but Marty better not play any games cause I’m watching him
Go Habs
Time for some gin & curry
ReplyDeleteA reminder to all, including myself, it is still October and all is not lost. Even though it's obvious there are things to clear up, a regulation W vs Philthy on Sunday and losses by the Sens and Drawings, Habs leapfrog 4 teams in the Atlantic, to sit above the 2 aforementioned, plus the wretched leaf and beaners, even if level in points.
ReplyDeletePoint being, there is a lot of time to right the ship and keep on improving. Get Ghuoul and Slaf back, maybe add that toughness the Fried Man was talking about (maybe get Fiver back?), maybe a veteran D and hang in there until Wool is back, and just maybe this team sticks around to 'stay in the mix' as the team's Brass like to put it.
Drawings = Deadthings
DeleteHabs win and a pornstar fuckup in OT makes for a great start to a Sunday
ReplyDeleteVictory is it just me or is Math making defense look hard barbie?
ReplyDeleteWell-balanced play.
ReplyDeleteNature putting up points.
Definitely had a couple of stinker games but never use the played up to or down to an opponent. Leave those kind of comments for the sfu and their leaf.
~~~
Right from the get go they played hard, 7Evans line dominated on the first shift. Other than that short stretch in the second it was a great performance. They all should rewatch the video to reinforce that type of game. I'm not sure they can pull it off two games in a row but here's hoping. The Phuquers played yesterday as well so there will be two tired teams playing.
ReplyDeleteFuck the Fucktards, booby clarke BitCHoff
DeleteWhen the Dumbass led Tuxedo Birds are at the bottom of the standings by Christmas maybe Sid will entertain a trade in the spring. Or maybe sooner...
ReplyDelete@Saint Paddy you are next up going to the polls. I don't think Nova Scotians are as pissed at Tim Houston as New Brunswickers were at Blaine Higgs.
ReplyDeletewas a time peole elected someone who was people. Now its all dominatin like some kind of kinky sex politics, where if you are hard on enough erections or even some strap one you are working the the man.
DeleteYep we all knew it was coming when he announced a 1% reduction in the HST starting April 1 (maybe it's a joke 🤣). After the Liberal leader promised a 2% reduction if they win the next election.
DeleteHonestly the party doesn't really seem to matter here in NS. This government seems more Liberal, where the former Liberal gov, led by Stephen "Stay the Blazes Home" McNeil was far more conservative, putting in anti-worker legislation in provincial unions and scrapping the film industry credits.
I think Houston feels pretty safe is why he's done this now, even though the first legislation he put in place is fixed election dates.
Yeah, I think Houston is safe. Higgs went off the rails the last year fighting with education people over trans kids and nominating an ultra right wing Christian nut job in the riding of Hampton where she didn't even live. Higgs was a great fiscal manager and rescued the province from bankruptcy but couldn't balance that with helping people with cost of living measures. He was too Scrooge-like in the end and cost him his government and his own riding. He too tried to buy votes with a 2% HST cut but when you do the math that only helps if you are buying a big ticket item. Saving a buck on a $50 buy doesn't move the needle.
DeleteHeh, F you Rodgers! Go Pats! (waits for the Rodgers hail Mary for the W).
ReplyDeleteDid the Pats move behind the Giants in the Draft with that win? I hope so!
DeleteIt's OK, different needs anyway.
DeleteThat's only their 2nd win and heading into this week there were 10 teams with 2 wins or less. Not a lot of parity in the NFL, unless you say half the league is shite and the other half contenders.
Predictions;
ReplyDeleteHabs beat the phuckers.
Steelers beat the Giants.
~~~
I say the reverse.
DeleteHabs!
DeleteDon't care 🙂.
The football game is tomorrow, tonight it's Go Niners!
DeleteI know. Just razzin you.
Delete~~~
Uh-oh, Flyers goalie in his first game. That often doesn't bode well for our Habs. They often look like George Vezina in these games.
ReplyDeleteHabs have 3rd best PK and 10th best PP.
ReplyDeleteThat's far and away better than they've been the past 2 years.
Improving on faceoffs, defensive structure and soft goals should be the priorities.
Explain this.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the Flyers broadcast. They say refs got it right.
DeleteWTF is this!? AX in the box for defending a Philthy headshot on Dach. Nice😡.
ReplyDeleteNature!
ReplyDeleteNature!
ReplyDeleteFuck you Philthy fuckers!
Some comments out there that X is a marked man, by the f’n refs. Makes sense.
ReplyDelete~~~
Loving that the UK ended BST last night so eastern games are on at 11 for me until you lot change your clocks back...JFaw!
ReplyDeleteSwimsuit!
ReplyDeleteEr, Lep!
DeleteLep!
ReplyDeleteWhiskey a goal goal!
ReplyDeletePhuck you refs.
ReplyDeleteBally playing the refs for the scumbags they are. Sit down bitchkov.
ReplyDelete~~~
Gally.
Delete13 & 14 racking up goals and points.
ReplyDeletesfu seen puking.
~~~
If this score holds up, I think the Habs will be ahead of their leaf in the standings.
DeleteGo Jets from Winnipeg tomorrow.
DeleteWhiskey sniping those goals wearing lucky #13 reminds me of Squid in his heyday.
ReplyDeletecuthurt is the worst but collingswortless is a close second. Horrendous to the ear.
ReplyDelete~~~
With a win tonight, the Habs will have the same record as the leaf, at 4-4-1 for 9 points. Both teams will have played 9 games.
ReplyDeleteWith a period to go, the #GoHabsGo have 27 goals on the season to the leaf 26.
Almost thought you jinxed it there. GYFHG!
DeleteOh oh
ReplyDeleteOuf.
ReplyDeleteGeez, the fragility ekes into this team when you think all is good.
ReplyDeleteBut they may just be in a wildcard spot for the moment.
All's well that ends well. A good weekend of work for the boys after a week of bad press and fan bitching (me included). F U sfu !
ReplyDeleteHave to stop these goals 25 seconds apart
ReplyDeleteHappens too often
So I’m liking the weekend results
Now to see if we can keep it going against the big boys in the east
Go Habs
The sfu still has their wretchedleaf ahead of the Habs based on goal differential. I'm pretty sure head to head record counts as the first tie breaker but, whatever.
ReplyDeleteGo Jets!
I'm watching The Penguin and I really like it. I still can't believe it's Colin Farrell under that makeup and he's doing a phenomenal job as Oswald.
ReplyDeleteWhether you're into the batman universe or not, it's worth a watch...so long as you're into dark and gritty shit.
Watching The Batman will give you a bit of a prelude to the events of this series.
Thanks for the heads up but pass. After the Christopher Nolan trilogy I had had enough of the Bat. I am looking forward to James Gunn's take on the DCU though.
DeleteYou can tell the leaf are not doing well. The sfu (tsn) page is crammed full of articles trying to find solutions for their wretched team. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGO STEELERS
ReplyDelete😜
Enjoy the beat down! 🏈😥
Delete👍🏻
DeleteGO JETS !
ReplyDeleteWhich ones ?
DeleteCanadian ones.
DeleteInsert thumbs up emoji here
DeleteThe G-Men are hangin' in there.
ReplyDeleteOooooo those Jets are getting pummeled.
ReplyDelete👎🏻
DeleteHonestly, I thought the Giants would be buried by the half. But, somehow they are sticking around and Daniel von Klumsy hasn't turned the ball over yet. Oh well, still two quarters to go for that to happen. Good effort by the NY D tonight.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. Teri Garr. Was an early cboyhood crush (Tootsie).
ReplyDeleteRIP. One of her early appearances was on the Original Star Trek series in the episode : Assignment Earth, where Kirk and Spock travel back to present day Earth (1967) to prevent the establishing of orbital nuclear weapons. It's one of my favourites. She played the part of a young executive assistant to Gary Seven played by Robert Lansing.
DeleteRest in peace Teri Garr. One of my favourite actresses. Gorgeous. ♥️
DeleteNew thread soon.

Whiskey gets 2 tonight...Bank on it.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Fast Lane pot one. That would get the crowd going.
