    We have always loved everything Snoopy in our household.

    As I may have mentioned my incredibly 3D animation-talented and multi award nominated ('Nimon'a was Oscar and GG nominated, 'That Christmas' just nominated for an Anni ...) , 'Garfield' was GG nominated, daughter is wrapping up the to be released in 2026 'The Cat in the Hat' with Bill Hader animated film.

    Her lifelong dream is/WAS to do a Peanuts movie and that dream is becoming a reality as her studio is doing the new Disney Peanuts movie (2017 or 28?).

    1. Been many, many years (decades?) since Montreal has had a player of that caliber. Here's hoping he can stay healthy and help lead a very young team to contender status.

  13. I just watched the goal highlights. RoCH had a rougher night, leaving his man all alone on the second goal, and looking like a lack of foot speed on the third goal (maybe the CBJ guy was just really fast?).
    It's that game winner. As I said it was a great shot but one that needs to be stopped, especially at that stage of the game.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You could say Monty didn't have a great game but that was his 9th or 10th straight start? And, it seems the BJs were a little more motivated after Wool's comments before the game, calling them losers. Ouch.

      Delete
    2. Monty has started every game this month and this was his his third in four nights, so it's no surprise if fatigue caught up with him. He'll get a nice rural Québec Christmas break with plenty of tortières, huge spreads and maple bacon, with gallons of whole milk (you can see it in his face, eh?)

      In fact, MSL starting the hell out of him like this is the perfect way to underline to mgmt the dire need for a legit back-up goalie.

      Merry Xmas FHFers, or whatever you celebrate.

    3. HuGo erred in opting to keep Primeau over Allen. Jake would have been the perfect backup to Monty.

    I got a Whiskey official NHL t shirt for Christmas.
    I have 4 other offical T shirts. Halak and Big TiTs bought at the Bell Center. A Drouid bought in the GTA at an Adias outlet store, and a Richard bought at the Hockey Hall of Fame. All where half price because of trades or in the case of Druid being a bust. so around 20 bucks. The quality for all the shirts is top tier.
    Unfortunetatly the latest T shirt while 22 bucks because it is number 22, is a peice of crap. The cheapest T shirt you can imagine, you can literally see through it. How typical of the NHL to abuse its fans.

  18. I like Wool's honesty about the BJs being losers and having a loser mentality, but sadly karma sometimes bites you in the ass, and maybe it's best to keep those thoughts to yourself.

And like it's some secret identity of his I take him aside and say, "Don't worry, man, I won't blow your cover."

  37. I've been tuned out of all things hockey. Seems I've missed a bit.

    Starting with a Canadian loss to Latvia. OK, I don't need to tune into that shitshow. Thank you. I thought Cowan was going to lead this team to glory...I didn't see it but apparently his shootout attempt was embarrassing?

    Good news for our UK friend. 2 weekend afternoon games. My conundrum today, do I watch my terrible hockey team or my terrible football team, both games on at 2pm today. Probably start with football as they only have two games left.

    But I'll also have to check out Doobie & the Habs. Good to see they've finally cut ties with Primeau. Best of luck to him wherever his career takes him.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. OK, Team Canada first, that Latvian team is not terrible but their goaltender stood on his head stopping 63 of 65 shots in regulation and OT and every shootout attempt. They all looked embarrassing in the SO.
      I didn't pay much attention when they were assembling the Canadian side but it looks like they went with mostly 19 year old players except for McKenna and Schaefer. They left all the elite talent like Senneca, Misa and Hage behind for a more 'balanced' approach? Whatever. BTW, the winning goal in the SO was scored by Saint John Sea Dog Eriks Mateiko so I didn't mind that much. It's good to see an underdog win once in a while.
      If you think your football team is bad I got news for you. My team is twice as bad. I'll start out with the Habs but if it's 5-0 by the end of the first period I'm out. Losing this one is a foregone conclusion, they are obviously saving Monty for tomorrow for a game they might have a chance at but the second of a b2b... Doubtful.
      I'm pretty sure Primeau will clear waivers, he needs to play in Laval and get his numbers better so he can have a shot elsewhere or he may just be an AHL goalie. I'm sure he can find work overseas if need be.
      I have a feeling by the end of January the Habs will be in the lottery hunt and we will be spinning the Tankathon wheel. To quote Colts coach Jim Mora : "Playoffs?!? Playoffs!?!"

  92. I despise Tampa as a team. I can't stand the smiling smug dipshit cooper. And I especially hate the classless drunken asshole douchebagerov for dissing the Habs and their fans. Fuck him. This win today is far sweeter than the one against the Panthers. I can't wait for the cheating Tampa Bay dolts to one day be the doormats of the Atlantic division and the Habs can wipe their feet on them.

    1. Their GM Julien Brisebois won't likely let tgat happen, but yeah, it sure would be sweet.

    2. They have sold their soul to maintain their 'window' they have very few picks the next couple years. Eventually, they will have to 'tear it down' like Hughes did and start over. I will relish their demise.

    3. To clarify, Tampa doesn't have many high picks in 2025, they do have four 7th round picks for what that's worth.

    Well hey ho and ole ole
    We’ll suck on that cooper cool dushbagerov and big ugly chuck
    I’m liking everything that Marty said post spanking
    Everyone is where they should be and buying into the team
    We are balanced on D and rolling four with decent people in nets
    Ok so we can breath a bit but quite frankly those were two statement games
    Games to build on
    Ya baybee
    Go Habs

    Growing up when the parade took the usual route I remember the teams that we had
    They were comprised of old and young really good and ordinary but everyone did their job really well and it led to a balanced team just like what we saw in Florida
    Balanced team everyone doing their job
    Money comparisons aside we can see the value of rolling four lines with the likes of the powerpony and the gallyator playing the roles of the 3rd and 4th lines.
    I don't see how you can have 23 competitive athletes playing as a team when a small group are being paid 13 large each and the rest minimum after all it is a job
    Anyway as much as every team needs a Flower they also need a Claude Provost each doing their job
    Bring on the golden pissers
    Go Habs

    1. Amen CHester, Provost, Gilles Tremblay, Jimmy Roberts even Bob Gainey you win with guys like that. Guys like Pony, Gally, 7Evans and GI Finn have accepted their roles and are putting in the effort. Eric Engels pointed out in his latest article that the top 2 lines on each team was a saw-off but Tampa's bottom 6 had no answer for Montreal's group. Even smug cooper admitted the Habs deserved to win.

      And they've discovered how to actually develop players properly. Unlike the days when they threw a 20 year old Carey Price into a downtown apartment in Montreal and said figure it out kid. Glad that bull is over.

      Very true that
      I read somewhere that with Half A Dov coming there is concern that nobody on the team is a ruskie or speaks ruskie i guess outside of Bobrov
      Better tell Chantal she better bone up on her slavic languages
      Or as someone suggested bring back Vodkov as a special somethingorother

  97. Jake Evans on a 5 game scoring streak.
    This might be impossible, but without looking it up (like I did), can anybody name the two active players that have had 6 game scoring streaks for the Habs?

    Hint 1: Neither currently play for the Habs.

    Hint 2: I will post in a couple of hours if there are no takers or correct answers.

  98. The 3 body Russian problem. We will solve it, Syd will bring Malkin with him.

  99. Do we sell out the best 4 th line in hockey? We got enough prospects to break hearts for the next decade. Pedal to the metal, jump on the bus, take the train, we are going on a cup run.

  100. I am hoping the Habs can maintain their current momentum against Gary Bettman's Golden Pissers who are also extremely hot at the moment. I'll happily take a loser point. Go Habs Go!!

  102. Didn't see the Silly Vegas Kuh-nnnnniggets' first goal but that second one with 10 seconds on the clock was just a lucky bounce. Habs were keeping up and looking more dangerous most of the first period.

    1. Thank you Stuart Smalley.

      I wouldn't label myself as a doubter, more of a flip flopper on whether I think they can be in the mix. Maybe that's worse?
      In fact I mentioned I thought they could be 'in the mix' if they won 7 of the 9 games before Christmas, an admitted tall order. I think they went 5-4. But that was also before what I've also noted as Hughes's most important trade yet aside from Laine. Getting rid of Von Clumsy for RoCH Carrier. What a difference that has made on the back end!

      I also think they would have beat CBS had Laine not put a target on his back.

      Step 1. They are fun to watch again. Check.
      Step 2. Win more games than you lose. Check.

      Hopefully they don't have a let down vs a much weaker Chicago team after these three huge wins.

      Go Habs!

  112. I drove my daughter and her fella to the airport. A 20 minute drive. I've never driven through thicker fog. Doing 80 with about 50 feet of visibility and vehicles whizzing past me like I'm standing still. Got them there safely and made it home, to be greeted by Mrs Pad, holding my daughter's purse which has her ID in it. So white knuckled it again for 45 minutes.

    I am now enjoying a nice stiff drink.
    Happy new year to all you FHFers! 🎊

  113. Wow. Wow. I just finished watching the game, I had to go out for a nice supper with Mrs. M then we got caught up on 'Landman' a great series with Billy Bob Thorton. It is the funniest show I have watched in years. Anyway, what a run by this young Habs team. I always believed that Wool would change the makeup of the top 2 lines. I had NO idea that RoCH would make such a difference for the defence. Like Marty said, everyone is in their proper spot. What a turn around in Josh Anderson's game, he is a force on the ice. Heineman is sneaky good. Gally has found the fountain of youth. The Habs may have the best bottom 6 in the league at the moment.

    Some big saves by Monty to keep them in it and then preserve the win. Hopefully Doobie can give the Habs some good starts.

    Three wins against three powerhouse teams on nthe road no less, I did not have that on my bingo card for after the break.

    Cheers and Happy New Year all! You guys are the best!

    1. I wanted to mention that we went to the movies last night and saw 'A Complete Unknown', the Bob Dylan biography. I wasn't a big Dylan fan but could appreciate his artistic abilities. It's a really good story and we enjoyed it.
