You've got some shovelling to do. Or snow blowing.
As I'm now a septuagenarian I rely on other people to move snow. I can do a light dusting but for the big storms I pay my neighbour and his son to do it. I decided last December after a wet, heavy dump I couldn't do it manually anymore.
Demidov is the most purely skilled forward prospect in the sport and has just broken the KHL's U20 scoring record, eclipsing the marks previously set by Kirill Kaprizov, Matvei Michkov and Evgeny Kuznetsov.
Last season, Demidov’s play during the MHL playoffs (which ended due to a lower-body injury just prior to SKA winning the championship) crystalized him behind Macklin Celebrini as the No. 2 prospect in the 2024 NHL Draft for me. His play in the last couple of months with SKA in the KHL has done the same for him as one of the top prospects — period — in the game for me. He’s got brilliant individual talent but I’ve also heard good things about his work ethic on and off the ice, he's in great shape (an athletic 6-foot-0.5 and 190ish pounds) and he has developed some layers to his game so that he’s not a one-trick pony as a dancing offensive-zone player (and he has played to excellent two-way results for a winger in the KHL this season because of it).
Demidov is a skill-first playmaking forward who finished third in the MHL in scoring two years ago (extremely rare for a player that age in a league typically dominated by 19- and 20-year-olds) and played at a higher point-per-game pace than the two players in front of him alongside his older brother, Semyon. Last season, after a strong preseason with SKA, he won a KHL job out of camp but played little and then, after bouncing between levels trying to rediscover his game, injured his knee and missed a month and a half. After returning, he tore up the MHL with one multi-point game after another and five to 10 shots per game, putting together one of the most productive extended stretches of play ever at Russia’s top junior level and making pretty goals look casual. This season, despite averaging under 13 minutes per game on the year (though he has played 18-to-20-plus of late), he's still SKA's second-leading scorer.
Demidov's a true play creator and you want the puck in his hands so that he can slip around the ice to make things happen for himself or his linemates. His ability to get off the wall to the middle with the puck on his stick into traffic, his manipulation one-on-one, his knack for dodging sticks and checks, his heel-to-heel maneuvering, his cross-body handles and his passing through layers to the weak side of coverage are all extremely high-end and look singular to him and his very wide stance/unique posture. And while his skating in straight lines doesn't have your standard look to it and was a topic of conversation pre-draft, he's still a fast skater and very shifty side to side. He's got elite handling (though he can get himself into trouble trying to beat two or three guys in a crowd, he also often beats multiple guys in a sequence and has a major highlight reel quality) and has made more one-on-one skill plays over the last two seasons in the MHL and now KHL than almost any prospect I've scouted for any draft. He’s also a pretty engaged off-puck player who keeps his feet moving, hunts pucks on the forecheck and can turn a steal into a game-breaking play in an instant. Demidov’s one of the most dynamic and skilled prospects to come out of Russia in recent memory (his game also has more of a pro style, competitiveness and roundedness to it than Michkov's had at the same age).
He profiles as a point-per-game, first-line, all-star-level winger. I truly believe he's going to mesmerize in the prime of his career in the NHL.
Fowler has established himself as one of the top goalie prospects in the sport with his play over the last three seasons. That started when he was named to the USHL’s All-Rookie Second Team three years ago and its First All-Star Team two years ago after leading the league in both save percentage and goals-against average. It was stamped last year with a stellar freshman year at BC that saw him play virtually every minute behind the top-ranked team in the country (and while the team in front of him helped, their strength was most pronounced at forward and he stole some games and was deservedly named Hockey East Goaltender of the Year). And it has been cemented this year with a repeat performance as the MVP (for me) of another top-ranked Boston College team, his save percentage rising from last year's .926 to the high .930s. (I should note that I’ve seen him look just OK with Team USA both in Gothenburg at the World Juniors and Plymouth at the World Junior Summer Showcase, but he was also excellent at the World Jr. A Challenge and the body of work over the last four years is unimpeachable.)
He’s the kind of goalie who if he can see a shot and move to it, he’s going to stop it.
He had some work to do on some other things (conditioning/fitness, less business on scrambles, losing his posts at times) pre-draft but he has worked hard at it and is by all accounts committed to staying in better shape (he's still listed at a heavy 225 pounds for 6-foot-2 but there has been progress off the ice), and has so many clear tools, highlighted by great hands, an ability to take space away through square angles and sound positioning, high-end tracking/reads, excellent rebound control, legitimate power/movement and a knack for making huge pad saves and stopping high-danger chances. He rarely gets beat through the body or frozen. He doesn't show holes in the net and has the reflexes to get a piece of (or ahold of) pucks when he does. He’s got a legitimate shot not just to be an NHL goaltender but to be a top one, and there aren’t many goalies his age (or even a little older) I’m comfortable saying that about. He seems to pitch a shutout once or twice a month these days and I think he's got a compelling case for the Hobey Baker this year.
Like most Habs fans, I have high hopes for Demigod but we should remember it's tough breaking into the NHL. Let's give him some slack. Same with Fowler, a year in the AHL won't hurt him just like TFS before him.
As for nostrils, who I assume is captain underpants/narcos, well it's self explanatory why the sfu/sn are all over him. He's the greatest player in the history of hockey and they will be cheering hard for the US to win so can can blow him even harder.
Have they called out the army yet to deal with that 20cm of snow tranna? What a bunch of pussies.
DEI is nonsense, you can not train a labrador retivor not to retrive. You can not train a sheep dog not to sheepdog. For me people are the same way. Like Poypie said I yam what I yam. So what does this insight give us for the four nations tournamet. Stop what your thinkingaboot right there. Enter my univerise that I have been forced to live with since the day I was born. I could write a 2000 page novel of drivel like Sochisnkeny. That was USAID drivel. I could write a perfect script about the White Helmets and win a OSCAR. I chose not to. Why did I make this decision? Well for one I am a very average writter. For reference if you think I am a CRAZY MAGNA HAT, I am not I can provide 10 year old links where I say golden asshole who does not have enough pressure to make a fart. So what can we do as a collective to keep our country like it is? I am one credit from the University of Western Ontario from having a degree in Economics. I graduated with a history degree, because I thought a degree in economics was like a degree in magical manipultaton. Plus I would have had to study to get that last credit. So what I am saying is that unlike the Canada series in 1971, a defeat of the players playing our game will register ZERO.
I remember the wifie of Lyin Brian was one course short of an engineering degree funny she never took the course Very smelly to me just like trying to have a trade agreement with americants Very smelly thing that Should be a good game tomorrow I think the chucks will meet their match Interesting reading about the orange rapists puppy dog telling the EU to fuck off I guess I just don’t like americants Sorry Go Canada Go Habs
All you fuckers who want to critize. Well your like Trump. Magical Idiots. I jest. This year is what it is. DACH, WOOL and every member of the big collective are not going to win the cup or make the playoffs. So just CHILL.
Mrs. SiM and I are thinking of running down to Ottawa today to celebrate our beautiful flag and country. I've never skated on the Rideau Canal, and our daughter's never seen the Capital region.
Me too. They aren't really booing the anthem per se, they are booing the fat orange dickwad and his maga clown show. Fuck all of them. But, I bet the loudest boos will be for captain nostrils.
The American players don't seem to understand that Canadians are not booing the anthem or veterans, they are booing the addle-brained orange asshole who is threatening to take our country by 'economic force'. Don't they follow the news? Fuck all them. They will never take us over. I would bet their veterans are ashamed of what their leaders are doing. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a military coup down there to throw all those maga fucks out.
So Mrs CHester came downstairs to watch the game and so I watched in English or shall I say in americant Could be just me but ray Ferraro is an idiot the broadcast people only interview usa and if things couldn’t get worse at intermission there’s his flashyness in a fucking dead animal coat I mean tva is what it is but wow Go Canada Go Habs
PK, sounding like his old coach, Arrogant Fuck Face, harping about both D going for a change at the same time, as the cause of the two-on-one and 2nd US goal - and oddly saying nothing at all about Sid's egregious giveaway in the o-zone that made that rush possible in the first place.
One bad goal and bad coaching was the difference. And a beautiful no look behind the back pass from Mitchie to the Americans to cap it off with the empty netter.
That’s true, in every way. We should get to the other part of what made this night so meaningful. It wasn’t just that the Bell Centre crowd booed the American anthem again. You pick the fight, we respond, is the thing. No, it was how they sang “O Canada”. The Bell Centre is the greatest hockey rink in the world, in a province where the love of country can be a complicated thing, but that crowd of Quebecois fans belted out “O Canada” with their whole chests, their whole hearts, in French and in English. And yeah, Canada lost the hockey game, and yeah, Canada will get another chance, and no, none of this solved anything. But we got to see how much this matters to us, the game and the country, and that was worth something. Let’s hope we get to see it again.
I think it would be safe to say Americans are the most despised people on Earth, generally speaking. Whether it's foreign policy, unlimited greed or the fact they feel they can do whatever they want they piss off a lot of people. Canadians, for the most part, always got along with them despite this and we always freely travelled both ways between countries. With felon47's attack on us and now the EU, they are on their way to being pariahs. No one will want anything to do with them. And it's a shame because only about one-third of them are the problem. I can foresee a revolt or civil war of some kind in the next 4 years.
From what I witnessed last night: - I knew goaltending would be a problem. - Defence (with no Makar) was suspect. - Props to the Canadian players who responded to the kachook assholes, even though they were outmatched a bit, Parayko was a match for Miller. This team is not well constructed just like the World Junior team who left most of the high end talent at home. JBB and Coop decide to bring their Dolts because, you know, they've won before blah blah. But ratface? Why? Why not Bedard, Shitfly or even Suzuki? If they lose this on management again.
Yay, more snow followed by freezing rain, then rain, then a drop in temperature! It's a fine line deciding when to shovel. I waited too long last time and ended up shoveling slush in the pouring rain. Bonus, no heart attack.
Team USA captain Auston Matthews sensed that Saturday's showdown with Team Canada may start with some fireworks. "Definitely wanted to come out and send a message right away," Team USA's captain said. "And those three guys stepping up like that, I mean, those guys are as hard as it gets when it comes to just playing the game hard and with an edge." Matthew Tkachuk challenged Brandon Hagel to a fight off the opening faceoff. Off the ensuing faceoff, younger brother Brady Tkachuk dropped the gloves with Sam Bennett. And just seconds after the next faceoff, J.T. Miller went at with Colton Parayko. "Just to get the game started like that, I thought it gave our bench a lot of energy, a lot of life and we just went from there," Matthews said. Three fights in nine seconds of game time in a hostile environment. The Tkachuk brothers and Miller plotted the passionate start in a group chat conversation hours before the game. What message did Team USA send? "We're here to win," Matthews said. "That's about it. That's the bottom line is we're here to win."
I remember the filthy flyers how they took the game down to a level the americants understood It’s sad I don’t think I’m ruing picking KK instead of the ork I think bicep fucked up with KK but I’m just as happy not to have the ork in the room And I sincerely hope the orks brother is hurt I mean that So We’re gonna get booed so water off a duck back We had better start a goalie that can stop a wrist shot And we better get some goals In the tainted words of the national embarrassment you gotta know when to run the goalie I actually heard him say that back when I watched in English Go Canada Go Habs
I may not be the smartest man in the world, thats Elon. However why dont the Canadians put together a super duper hack the Cup package. Retain all the salary so players are effectivly league min. Sevens, the first Joel, Devo, and Savard. A two former first from the PEG. Brad Lambert number 30 in 2022. Colby Barlow number 17 in 2023.
No matter which side you are on, this is a great metaphor (not mine, just a comment I read ) "It's as if the war is a hockey game and Ukraine is the puck."
I don't know about being a puck but they certainly are a pawn ... in a chess match between two despots now. Putin wants the land back (Ukraine is the bread basket of Europe) and the orange felon wants their critical minerals.
The sooner Canada can disassociate itself from the criminal regime in Washington the better.
Team Canada better bring their A game today. The good news of the day is that all the kachook idiots did is prove what fools they are. One of them hurt himself trying prove what big bad muricans they are. To echo CHester : Good.
Team USA general manager Bill Guerin wants U.S. President Donald Trump to attend the 4 Nations Face-Off final in Boston.
Speaking with Fox News on Monday, Guerin said that his team would be very happy to see Trump in the crowd for Thursday's highly anticipated rematch with Canada.
"We would love it if President Trump was in attendance," Guerin said. "We have a room full of proud American players and coaches and staff. And listen, we’re just trying to represent our country the best way we can."
we might win the hockey game but in the nation game we are like the USA mircle on ice. How much US squesse can you take before the legs are spread, and the Supereme COUrt declares it was consuentlua;
I'll be glad when this bettman/nhlpa hyped up tournament is over and we can go back to our regularly scheduled hockey games and despising the wretched leaf and shitty beaners. With all this political crap and turmoil I find it difficult to separate it from my enjoyment of sports and cheering on 3 American Habs and waiting for a Russian one to show up. I keep trying to tell myself not every American citizen wants to take us over and many Russians are not in favour of the war on Ukraine but don't dare say anything lest they be killed. It's a tough situation.
Truly! One imagines Fowler (with his Quรฉbรฉcoise grand-mรจre) and the others attending college are at least somewhat less ignorant (as Tweed showed). Strobelight being black and knowing our GM's family growing up; and Whiskey now well-established and doing media and TV ads locally - leads me to believe they aren't tinfoilers like some of their moronic countrymen.
And DemiGod and his gf showing interest in learning English and about our culture are good signs.
85 million of those toothless inbred uneducated motherfuckers voted for that orange turd/rapist 3 times That's twice as many man woman and child here. We best not think about anything except putting the wagons in a circle. Go Canada Go abs
Go easy on them; they're the hapless marks of the most successful and sophisticated, multi-level international propaganda machine in history. And it's been moving at lightning speed.
The sad part is most of those people know what's going on and want it to happen. The sooner we can extricate ourselves from being dependent on them the better. We can still trade with them but it has to be on our terms.
This is French for those who dare, but here's the rundown. It was late in the USA-Finland game when Armia cross-checked McAvoy from behind, smacking the top of his left shoulder hard into the goalpost as he fell forward. Then he played injured until it developed an infection within the joint. Now it's an antibiotic drip and a hospital stay.
The only hope that decent Americans have is to rally their forces and take away the House and the Senate in 2026 and neuter the orange turd. In the meantime he and his Nazi boss are going to cause maximum damage. For my own mental well being I'm going to start paying less attention to all the turmoil.
Trump does good and bad. Stopping the SEE AYE AYE soft power world wide is a good idea. Waging war on Canada, not so much. The whole mess of the USAID and he has not touched the NED is a shamwhoo moment. Zelensky by any definiton is a dictator that make Putin look like Ghandi. The world we knew is falling apart, and Supply Managment of food is a national treasure.
Damn politics. I mentioned previously that there isn't a real difference between parties in NS. Well I guess that is unless you give what you thought to be a centre leaning PC a super majority with 78% of the House. Note. I did not vote for him because I've always considered him a weasel. In his first month he's talking about deregulating fracking and opening up NS for uranium exploration. In a province of this size and considering the geology...well, smarter people than me have identified this already as incredibly dangerous. Including Premiere Houston when he was in opposition. Now he's looking to pass a law that would allow him to fire the Auditor General without cause. The AG is a non-partisan position. In theory. The only reason to pass that law would be to hide shit without worrying about your secret agenda. It in my mind is the largest affront to democracy I've seen in this province in my nearly 30 years here.
Bottom line. Be careful when you cast your vote at any level. Whether you're left, right or centre remember that absolute power corrupts. Absolutely.
I'm not defending Houston but all this talk about oil pipelines and mining after years of opposition boils down to one thing. trump. We are being forced down this path to survive.
The great Dwight D. Eisenhower, leader of the allied forces who freed Europe from the Nazi scourge and helped put together the Marshall Plan must be rolling in his grave as the present day Washington clown show are now throwing Europe to the Russian wolves. Who would have ever thought it would come to this? I truly don't understand how the American people are letting this happen.
Both PFK and Cooper stepped in it with their posts and comments, pro Trump on PK's part, entertaining the possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state on Cooper's part in a media interview. Dumbasses, both.
Sidney Crosby a young lad from Cole Harbour Nova Scotia (my home province) will go down in history as the greatest Canadian player of all time. Wayne the Traitor and trump ass kisser will be long remembered as our Benedict Arnold. Wayne played out the string for the big bucks in New York. He lost in the Olympics in '96 while Sid won gold in 2010 and 2014. Sid stayed loyal to his NHL team. I'm still hoping he will come to Montreal if even for just one season.
Well, fitting end for McJesus And very fitting end for Bennington Also Mr McKinnon can really play hockey Happy for Canada Most happy to give the shit show south of us the finger Very happy Yay Canada Go Habs
Did the sn ๐คก panel make any mention of favourite son matthews losing his coverage on McD's winning goal? Or did they focus on li'l mitchie's pass? Either way they got their mention in.
I saw that PM Justin took a shot at the orange baboon after the game. It was only a hockey game but the world seems a little brighter today.
The battle has ended. Unfortanatly like many battles we did not get their carbon fiber sticks. Trump may not be able to read or write. However he is making a game of thrones assualt on reality. Mostly he is correct.

DeleteThe American players don't seem to understand that Canadians are not booing the anthem or veterans, they are booing the addle-brained orange asshole who is threatening to take our country by 'economic force'. Don't they follow the news? Fuck all them. They will never take us over. I would bet their veterans are ashamed of what their leaders are doing. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a military coup down there to throw all those maga fucks out.
ReplyDeleteCue tRump lovers gretzky and orr.
DeleteThey'll call it what they need to in order to justify their belief system. See Kaepernick, Colin.
DeleteI'm legit not ruling out a Richard Riot level event.
DeleteI hope Montreal fans boo the fuck out of narcos and the chooks...
ReplyDeleteWatching on CityTV with Messier and PK. Good good.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip. You can avoid Cuntbert and Simpleton on City TV!
DeleteCanada should have started GSP against the idiot americans.
ReplyDeleteHeh!
DeleteSmug Jon Cooper outsmarted himself bringing too many of his Dolts with him.
ReplyDeleteAnd why the f_ck is snotnet playing an american rock band song leading into the break? F right off you traitors.
...out of the deep south no less.
DeleteSo Mrs CHester came downstairs to watch the game and so I watched in English or shall I say in americant
ReplyDeleteCould be just me but ray Ferraro is an idiot the broadcast people only interview usa and if things couldn’t get worse at intermission there’s his flashyness in a fucking dead animal coat
I mean tva is what it is but wow
Go Canada
Go Habs
PK, sounding like his old coach, Arrogant Fuck Face, harping about both D going for a change at the same time, as the cause of the two-on-one and 2nd US goal - and oddly saying nothing at all about Sid's egregious giveaway in the o-zone that made that rush possible in the first place.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Price wasn't in the nets for Canada
ReplyDeleteHe still looks in great shape. Fucking kryder...
DeleteBenCH Billie. The second period was Jersey hockey, boring.
ReplyDeleteBradley chuck looks just like an Ork
ReplyDeleteKeep wishing Ax was on Team Canada. Appreciating our Habs d-men right here.
ReplyDeleteWhy is ratface marchand on this team instead of Connor Bedard?
ReplyDeleteI hope to God HuGo isn't dumb enough to seek acquiring Sid.
ReplyDeleteCredit to USA for putting together such a solid team and executing a solid team game and game plan that exposed threir adversary's weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteOne bad goal and bad coaching was the difference.
ReplyDeleteAnd a beautiful no look behind the back pass from Mitchie to the Americans to cap it off with the empty netter.
We can’t seem to win in these tournaments anymore
ReplyDeleteThe fish rots from the head down
Go Habs
Fatal power play, meh. Two soft goals and stellar tenderneting from Hell.
ReplyDeleteThat’s true, in every way. We should get to the other part of what made this night so meaningful. It wasn’t just that the Bell Centre crowd booed the American anthem again. You pick the fight, we respond, is the thing.
ReplyDeleteNo, it was how they sang “O Canada”. The Bell Centre is the greatest hockey rink in the world, in a province where the love of country can be a complicated thing, but that crowd of Quebecois fans belted out “O Canada” with their whole chests, their whole hearts, in French and in English.
And yeah, Canada lost the hockey game, and yeah, Canada will get another chance, and no, none of this solved anything.
But we got to see how much this matters to us, the game and the country, and that was worth something. Let’s hope we get to see it again.
I think it would be safe to say Americans are the most despised people on Earth, generally speaking. Whether it's foreign policy, unlimited greed or the fact they feel they can do whatever they want they piss off a lot of people. Canadians, for the most part, always got along with them despite this and we always freely travelled both ways between countries. With felon47's attack on us and now the EU, they are on their way to being pariahs. No one will want anything to do with them. And it's a shame because only about one-third of them are the problem. I can foresee a revolt or civil war of some kind in the next 4 years.
DeleteFrom what I witnessed last night:
ReplyDelete- I knew goaltending would be a problem.
- Defence (with no Makar) was suspect.
- Props to the Canadian players who responded to the kachook assholes, even though they were outmatched a bit, Parayko was a match for Miller. This team is not well constructed just like the World Junior team who left most of the high end talent at home. JBB and Coop decide to bring their Dolts because, you know, they've won before blah blah. But ratface? Why? Why not Bedard, Shitfly or even Suzuki? If they lose this on management again.
Yay, more snow followed by freezing rain, then rain, then a drop in temperature!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fine line deciding when to shovel. I waited too long last time and ended up shoveling slush in the pouring rain.
Bonus, no heart attack.
Just tons of snow here. Thursday's 30 cm did not get cleared before today's 40 getting piled atop. Not expecting schools to be open tomorrow.
DeleteIt's Golf Channel's wet dream. Scottie and Rory paired up on Sunday and (somewhat) in contention.
ReplyDeleteHeh Heh, yep I'm watching it now. The 'Great American Race' the Daytona 500 is on too. Fuck'em.
DeleteTeam USA captain Auston Matthews sensed that Saturday's showdown with Team Canada may start with some fireworks.
ReplyDelete"Definitely wanted to come out and send a message right away," Team USA's captain said. "And those three guys stepping up like that, I mean, those guys are as hard as it gets when it comes to just playing the game hard and with an edge."
Matthew Tkachuk challenged Brandon Hagel to a fight off the opening faceoff. Off the ensuing faceoff, younger brother Brady Tkachuk dropped the gloves with Sam Bennett. And just seconds after the next faceoff, J.T. Miller went at with Colton Parayko.
"Just to get the game started like that, I thought it gave our bench a lot of energy, a lot of life and we just went from there," Matthews said.
Three fights in nine seconds of game time in a hostile environment. The Tkachuk brothers and Miller plotted the passionate start in a group chat conversation hours before the game.
What message did Team USA send?
"We're here to win," Matthews said. "That's about it. That's the bottom line is we're here to win."
The Ugly American has a new face.
DeleteI remember the filthy flyers how they took the game down to a level the americants understood
DeleteIt’s sad
I don’t think I’m ruing picking KK instead of the ork
I think bicep fucked up with KK but I’m just as happy not to have the ork in the room
And I sincerely hope the orks brother is hurt
I mean that
So
We’re gonna get booed so water off a duck back
We had better start a goalie that can stop a wrist shot
And we better get some goals
In the tainted words of the national embarrassment you gotta know when to run the goalie
I actually heard him say that back when I watched in English
Go Canada
Go Habs
What a metaphor for America or is it a simili. Bullies outweighing the oppents by 50 lbs and 5 inches.
DeleteThe Canada mgmt team opted for a glorified All Star line up. The US team opted for war.
ReplyDeleteI may not be the smartest man in the world, thats Elon. However why dont the Canadians put together a super duper hack the Cup package. Retain all the salary so players are effectivly league min. Sevens, the first Joel, Devo, and Savard. A two former first from the PEG. Brad Lambert number 30 in 2022. Colby Barlow number 17 in 2023.
ReplyDeleteNo matter which side you are on, this is a great metaphor (not mine, just a comment I read ) "It's as if the war is a hockey game and Ukraine is the puck."
ReplyDeleteI don't know about being a puck but they certainly are a pawn ... in a chess match between two despots now. Putin wants the land back (Ukraine is the bread basket of Europe) and the orange felon wants their critical minerals.
DeleteThe sooner Canada can disassociate itself from the criminal regime in Washington the better.
Team Canada better bring their A game today. The good news of the day is that all the kachook idiots did is prove what fools they are. One of them hurt himself trying prove what big bad muricans they are. To echo CHester : Good.
ReplyDeletemclame still blowing crotch
ReplyDeleteI'm cheering for Finland just as a big F U to Cooper, Hockey Canada and Bettman.
ReplyDeleteThough a rematch will be nice.
DeleteI want to see somebody beat the snot out of brady the ork.
DeleteGreat start
ReplyDeleteThat Canadian Tire commercial is the best in a long time. Fuck trump.
ReplyDeleteThat whole panel along with Amber and the fried-man are a bunch of dorks.
ReplyDeleteI have the sound off btw.
DeleteThey took #16 off the 1st and 2nd lines, dropped him to 3rd. Voilร .
ReplyDelete~~~
I was just wondering if he's playing today.
DeleteAnd yes, I've broken down and am tuning into these games...switching between curling though.
bottershill said that Canada had to “get speed under the puck”.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what that meant.

ReplyDeleteTeam USA general manager Bill Guerin wants U.S. President Donald Trump to attend the 4 Nations Face-Off final in Boston.
Speaking with Fox News on Monday, Guerin said that his team would be very happy to see Trump in the crowd for Thursday's highly anticipated rematch with Canada.
"We would love it if President Trump was in attendance," Guerin said. "We have a room full of proud American players and coaches and staff. And listen, we’re just trying to represent our country the best way we can."
Another MAGAt piece of shit. No surprise really.
DeleteFuck the mango mussolini and his Nazi boss.
Deletewe might win the hockey game but in the nation game we are like the USA mircle on ice.
DeleteHow much US squesse can you take before the legs are spread, and the Supereme COUrt
declares it was consuentlua;
How to ruin the whole thing... oh well, probably not enough time to figure out the security.
DeleteAnd I see the cowards at SNET turned off comments for the story. I'm sure Rogers is part of the MAGA north clan.
Deletehttps://www.blogto.com/city/2021/05/toronto-mar-a-lago-trump/
DeleteI'll be glad when this bettman/nhlpa hyped up tournament is over and we can go back to our regularly scheduled hockey games and despising the wretched leaf and shitty beaners. With all this political crap and turmoil I find it difficult to separate it from my enjoyment of sports and cheering on 3 American Habs and waiting for a Russian one to show up. I keep trying to tell myself not every American citizen wants to take us over and many Russians are not in favour of the war on Ukraine but don't dare say anything lest they be killed. It's a tough situation.
ReplyDeleteTruly! One imagines Fowler (with his Quรฉbรฉcoise grand-mรจre) and the others attending college are at least somewhat less ignorant (as Tweed showed). Strobelight being black and knowing our GM's family growing up; and Whiskey now well-established and doing media and TV ads locally - leads me to believe they aren't tinfoilers like some of their moronic countrymen.
DeleteAnd DemiGod and his gf showing interest in learning English and about our culture are good signs.
85 million of those toothless inbred uneducated motherfuckers voted for that orange turd/rapist 3 times
ReplyDeleteThat's twice as many man woman and child here.
We best not think about anything except putting the wagons in a circle.
Go Canada
Go abs
Go easy on them; they're the hapless marks of the most successful and sophisticated, multi-level international propaganda machine in history. And it's been moving at lightning speed.
DeleteThe sad part is most of those people know what's going on and want it to happen. The sooner we can extricate ourselves from being dependent on them the better. We can still trade with them but it has to be on our terms.
DeleteThis is French for those who dare, but here's the rundown. It was late in the USA-Finland game when Armia cross-checked McAvoy from behind, smacking the top of his left shoulder hard into the goalpost as he fell forward. Then he played injured until it developed an infection within the joint. Now it's an antibiotic drip and a hospital stay.
ReplyDeleteGuess Army/GI Finn took his nicks to heart.
Sanderson likely in for the USA tonight now.

The only hope that decent Americans have is to rally their forces and take away the House and the Senate in 2026 and neuter the orange turd. In the meantime he and his Nazi boss are going to cause maximum damage. For my own mental well being I'm going to start paying less attention to all the turmoil.
ReplyDeleteThat was my plan from the get go, but man is it hard to avoid.
DeleteTrump does good and bad. Stopping the SEE AYE AYE soft power world wide is a good idea.
DeleteWaging war on Canada, not so much. The whole mess of the USAID and he has not touched the NED is a shamwhoo moment. Zelensky by any definiton is a dictator that make Putin look like Ghandi. The world we knew is falling apart, and Supply Managment of food is a national treasure.

DeleteHabs v. broons in the playoffs…

Thanx for posting, interesting take...
DeleteDamn politics.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned previously that there isn't a real difference between parties in NS.
Well I guess that is unless you give what you thought to be a centre leaning PC a super majority with 78% of the House. Note. I did not vote for him because I've always considered him a weasel.
In his first month he's talking about deregulating fracking and opening up NS for uranium exploration. In a province of this size and considering the geology...well, smarter people than me have identified this already as incredibly dangerous. Including Premiere Houston when he was in opposition.
Now he's looking to pass a law that would allow him to fire the Auditor General without cause. The AG is a non-partisan position. In theory. The only reason to pass that law would be to hide shit without worrying about your secret agenda. It in my mind is the largest affront to democracy I've seen in this province in my nearly 30 years here.
Bottom line. Be careful when you cast your vote at any level. Whether you're left, right or centre remember that absolute power corrupts. Absolutely.
I'm not defending Houston but all this talk about oil pipelines and mining after years of opposition boils down to one thing. trump.
DeleteWe are being forced down this path to survive.
Don't take the bait Justin. Ignore that orange fucking asshole.
ReplyDeleteAnd his little bitch press secretary...
DeleteThe great Dwight D. Eisenhower, leader of the allied forces who freed Europe from the Nazi scourge and helped put together the Marshall Plan must be rolling in his grave as the present day Washington clown show are now throwing Europe to the Russian wolves. Who would have ever thought it would come to this? I truly don't understand how the American people are letting this happen.
ReplyDeleteGo you Fucking Canadians Go!
ReplyDeleteHey UK3X, does King Chuck have our backs if the Yanks decide to invade us? Asking for a friend. ๐ฌ
DeleteBoth PFK and Cooper stepped in it with their posts and comments, pro Trump on PK's part, entertaining the possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state on Cooper's part in a media interview. Dumbasses, both.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, GYFCG!
PK is wearing a poppy to make Don Cherry proud. That's all I need to know about PK. One time, one of my favourite players. Now basically dead to me.
DeleteSad but not surprised.
DeleteGo you fucking Habs...er Canadians, GO!

DeleteSidney Crosby a young lad from Cole Harbour Nova Scotia (my home province) will go down in history as the greatest Canadian player of all time. Wayne the Traitor and trump ass kisser will be long remembered as our Benedict Arnold. Wayne played out the string for the big bucks in New York. He lost in the Olympics in '96 while Sid won gold in 2010 and 2014. Sid stayed loyal to his NHL team. I'm still hoping he will come to Montreal if even for just one season.
ReplyDeleteAnd win a 4th Cup and cement his legacy.
DeleteNever forget that the traitorzky had cujo start instead of Roy in the Olympics. He could never handle Roy having more Smythe trophies.
DeleteMAF vibe. Binnington is scaring me.
Deletecuthurt focusing on nostrils’ assist on that cheap goal

ReplyDeleteWhy the hell is Seth Jarvis on this team ahead of a number of better Centres...Shitfly, Bedard, Suzuki, Strome, etc?
ReplyDeleteI asked the same question...
DeleteSo what happens now? 3 on 3 for 5 min.? Or a full break and 20 minute OT like playoffs?
