Great game all around. No passengers. TJ even looked like a legit 2nd line centreman. And the Sens played hard all night. On to Long Island. Keep up the pace and GYFHG!
No games of significance tonight so Habs will hold their spot for another day. The last time they were in this position (which lasted one day), their goal differential was -12. Now it's -16. Even though they're playing well, that number will need to be close to even or better by the end of the season to push for that playoff spot. Just win every game by one goal and get that to a -1.
Nate MacKinnon and his Avs are playing the wretched, putrid leaf tonight, the the 'Turds tomorrow night before coming to the Bell Center Saturday night. Hopefully Colorado will be a little tired after a night on the town at the strip bars Friday night. The oldest son will be there Saturday night with his family, I hope the Habs put on a show for them!
Josh Anderson had a tough time the previous season. I don't think too many folks here on moe's blog advocated for trading Josh because he wasn't scoring a lot of goals and he wasn't worth his contract. I'm 99% certain I never wanted him gone but over at EOTP many of the posters were howling for him to be traded. Did bergy overpay for him? Probably, but as far as I'm concerned he's worth his weight in gold right now. Josh and Lep are helping to drive this team at the moment. During the post game interview on RDS you could tell that Josh is really happy to be playing in and contributing to meaningful games after a long 3 years of rebuilding. It's great to see.
yes, noticed that also when he was doing the interview. it was definitely a moment for him and the crowd was only too pleased to let him have it. i hope he burns that memory into his head for the rest of his life.
previous to last night, i was arguing with a habs buddy: how much better was corson?
Got to agree, all of Bargin Bergys Zombies are comming to life exactly when needed. Even fucking Devo. Maybe history will judge him far kinder, he will no longer be called bargin bergy but Hockey Tarlock.
If...I mean when...the Habs make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs, I wonder if I could find a feed for the games from a ship on the Adriatic Sea? Should start at 1am assuming 8pm AST game starts?
Both Bergy and Peter dumped by Stronach agree if you want a friend get a dog. Well if you want a video friend get Kodi and find the addon Titan. If your really patriotic like me you will cancel all those merican shit streams.
This is the site I follow for probabilities for the Habs. Like anything stats get thrown out the window with winning or losing streaks, but this site seems to off the best insight into what could happen using the 'what if' link in the left margin.
Happy happy Happy for Powerhorse I’ll give Devo a Spocks eyebrow Maybe he wakes up in the playoffs Who knew Happy for new daddy gally Happy Heineken is back he brings balance to the Force Happy Hugo got the a/c man he also brings balance Happy suzie got some folks singing backup Him and cc have been singing solo Happy for the slavster I think he’s starting to figure things out Happy for Marty But mostly happy for us We’ve been waiting sort of patiently So Go Habs
So by hockey logic the Avs should come out pissed tonight and take their frustrations oit on the Sens, beat their asses, then celebrate til all hours Friday at Montreal's best establishments and be a wash against the Habs Saturday.
“I think our sense of family here has helped Gally. I think continuing to play hockey has helped Gally & his family. It’s a difficult time. We’re a close-knit group. Moments like this bring us even closer…Being part of a team is my favourite thing about hockey.”
Hope MSL doesn't fall into the trap of playing Monty every game just because he's mostly played very well since the break. This seems like a no doubter where Doobie could play.
@SiM: what u said is exactly how my hockey mind works! can i add a second thought?
these three matches, contrary to popular comments, ive felt the boys are more likely to go W-L-W instead of behing happy with 3pts. these guys sometimes tend to miss the slam dunks and instead win the big ones when the spotlight is brightest.
if that holds true, im totally ok if that pattern persists in perpetuity.
the only reason why it wasnt allowed is b/c a goal was scored. simply disgraceful. even the linesman on the ice waived it good! either u go full digital and analyse everything or u allow the guys assigned to do their job.
in no other situation is that whistle called except that a goal was scored. complete horsecrap and absolute cowardice.
(i dare anybody to ask me why im so enflammed about this)
@Maritimer: no it wasnt (& anybody please correct me if im wrong), offside is when an attacking player enters the opponents zone (the white) before the puck has touched the blueline. full stop, with/out the puck.
@SiM: no. wrong categorisation. its in the category of hyprocrissy and trying to uphold an image of perfection in an impossible situation.
@Maritimer: answer to why im so livid.... im a referee.
with the way professional sports are these days, they have all the advantages of technology to eliminate the human aspect which causes controversy, however, what that does to the rest of the game (all levels below pro) is that it ingrains an artificially and unreasonably level of expectations upon all referees who dont have the benefit of these tools.
in football, think of the razor thin offside calls. in american football, what is a catch and what isnt? in basketball, what is a 3pointer and what is only a 2? in tennis, what is in and what is out? in track and field, what is in/out/good/foul?!
instead of relying upon highly trained and capable people to be referees, sports have "evolved" to become this science where everything is precisely black and white. often, this b&w spectrum shifts depending on who is in control of the lense. what that does is instead of having one scapegoat (the referee), there becomes an unknown entity which is far worse, cause that introduces the opportunity for manipulation and all the other conspiracy theories which are now becoming somewhat legit.
i dont expect any of u to understand, but its where/how i watch sports from now and i dont apologise for being critical against it. modern sports is incompatible with sportsmanship and the spirit of sport.
@oleg, I think the only thing that should be reviewed is if the puck went into the net or not. I agree about the human aspect of calling a game. Let the folks make the calls on the ice. I can live with the odd mistake.
@St.P: yep. blogger giving me problems again. cannot post/ comment or reply. can only create new comments on the full website.
@Maritimer: and 3 means the score? yeah thnx mt. tumble. theres your garbage gift. looks like i need to cheer for my own prophecy and pray for a W match prochain...
ah tabernacle! for however hard it was for (the real) StP to get back into our goodbooks, he is equally digging himself back where he came from being a lapdog to these LI fishermen!
in the spirit of sport, LET THIS STAND for the balance of the galaxy depends on it!
@oleg: man I just have a good sense how the dicks in tronna are going to call things. And I refuse to use the 'war room' moniker they've given it. This is a goddamned game. Just wait a bit we might just see what a war room is really needed for.
Btw, your offside definition is offside a bit me thinks. offside is when an attacking player enters the opponents zone (the white) before the puck has touched the blueline. full stop, with/out the puck.
Should this not read before the puck has completely crossed the blueline.?
@StP: thnx... im not an ice-hockey referee. im just using the common sense definition which we all grew up with. the official by the book definition doesnt mean anything to me. but thnx for typing out the nanoscope verbatim
@Maritimer: if our enemies lose, isnt it still damage by opporunity lost?
@SiM: thnx. i dont populate the bigger msgbrds b/c i always get flammed for writing unpopular takes it means a lot to me if only one of u FHF guys 1. understands where im coming from 2. actually agrees with me
@all: FU kim kardashian.... the je ne sais quois of the boys is causing us to break the internet!
@Maritimer: yes full agree. he should have been cpt instead of bbq, but even our own mgmt were peeiodically stupid. they are humans. they are allowed to once-in-awhile. just not every game like mt. tumble
come on... grab another 2 bonus pts! gymfhg!!!!!!!
Important point for us; no one gained on us tonight and only the BJs kept up. Our Doobie Bro should start Saturday ahainst the Avs, who kindly are following the script I laid out for them upthread here. They'll need to party hard tomorrow, on their only stop in Montreal night-life-party-town. I am confident Druid can lead the way down Crescent St. for his teammates.
Page update. I've also added the remainder of my 'Predicto-meter' which still has us finishing with 93 points (Still at +4 as my original prediction had us finishing with 89). That's another 19 points in the last 14 games. That would be high quality hockey at a 0.678 pace. Only the Caps have a better percentage through this stage. But I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. MSL just has to be smart with the goalie situation. Don't fall into the trap of relying on one tender. I truly believe Doobie would have given them a better chance to win last night. And not that Struble has been playing poorly, but if Guhle is back before April, that 7 game winning stretch becomes a bit more possible.
They are 8-1-3 since the break btw (only that 1-0 loss to Calgary was in regulation). That is an incredible 0.791 pace. So maybe a 0.678 pace the rest of the way isn't crazy.
Watching the Hockey Junkie game review, referring to Bo Horvat as "That Dirty Little Horvat" had me in stitches. This guy has the best hockey channel by a Newfoundland mile.
oh yeah, junkie is awesome! hes been doing it all yr, with liners like that. we are so lucky hes one of us!
another guy i like is this guy (whiskey lung). he has the best intro song btw. anybody can guess where from?!?! https://youtu.be/U_sbZxzsINM?si=23rgQNCr19SFZiiL
Did I read somewhere that dumbass is the gm of some international Canada hockey thing?? Does this guy have pictures of somebody He was too stupid for the leaf so he left to destroy the flightless birds not he’s gonna fuck up some Canada club Who makes these decisions? Go Habs
I dont want to beat on Gretzky. ITs like star trek, JIm I am a hockey player not a totem pole of Canadian idenity. We all have , never use the universal steve. Some wives may say, if you want to have sex love Donald.
13h: Go Canucks (over Rags)! 14h: Go Stars (over Philthy Phlyers)! 16h: Go Flames (over Isles)! 19h: Go U-Tossers (over Dolts)! 19h: Go Preds (over Leaffools)! 19h: Go Devils (over Turds)! 20h: Go Kuh-Niggets over (Dead Things)! 22h30: Go Shreks (over Broons)!
And finally...
19h (au Centre Bell) : GYFHG over Avs tonight!!!
Time to protect that playoff positioning in case all those results go the wrong way, les boys. JFW!
awesome SiM! i have no clue who are the tossers and kuh-niggets, but ill find out later as the day approaches.
thnx for doing your part! onwards and upwards! start doobie! bench mt. tumble until sept. im so sick of forcing the boys to overcome his garbage gifts each match!
hahahah.... ok. i should have known that and kuh-nigs is what i kinda thought it was.
u guys might not believe it, but i spent some time down there in the beehive state. fine folks. really good people. just dont talk too much about things beyond the stateline unless its about football (american style).
i love how they didnt rush to put a team name out, but now im cringing on them for their final three candidates: HC, Mammonth, Wassach. if youve been to utah you would know a nantural should have been: jackalopes.
Watching the Nucks/Rags game. 50 minutes in and NYR have 9 shots. And are leading 2-1. It's not sustainable and they're not a serious threat at this pace. Game before last I think they had 13 shots. Update. Now 2-2. GYMFCanucksG!!!
I've been watching this not only because it matters in the standings, but keeping a close eye everytime Q Hughes is on the ice. There are real similarities twixt he and Hutson. And that is a very good thing.
Update. 3-2 Rags...on their 10th shot. 7 minutes left.
Canucks tie it up! And NYR immediately take the lead on shot #11. 4-3. This goalie cannot stop a puck. A 0.636 save % won't often win you a game. But the Rangers suck so maybe.
In the words of Anne Lennox I hope 29 is hovering over me to protect my intellectual capital from the capitalist apex predators. Here goes " An idea that goes against human nature." Human civilization is built on that idea, that we can control our animal insticts but more importantly we can defie millimus of slavery and flip the switch in our lizard brian from fight or flee to serve and protect no matter what the cost in real terms or maybe as the Fraser guys like to say all the time, opportunity costs, I have lost so many oppourtiny costs that my wealth would make Herr Elon look like a pauper. This is my rally cry for tonite. Go for the playoffs, go for the world to see what a plucky little team can do when like the A team a plan comes together. Even if it was so many plans stiched togther.
I can see I might have caused some confusion, especially among the word scientest we call lawyers. The full statement that is my published statement is now following : Goverment is a fatal blow to individual freedom. This idea that goes against human nature. Goverment is civilizatin and I have played that game so many time I have the record for finishing as Dan Qualye
As for Utah, seriously while I'm not generally a fan of the names that don't have an 's' for plural. But being the beehive state, I thought Hive, Swarm or Sting were excellent options. Or the Buttes. Which is pronounced like Beaut as in beauty. Utah is well known for that geological formation. Their 3 options all suck and HC is somehow the least dumb of the three.
@steve, to quote Robert E. Howard : “Barbarism is the natural state of mankind," the borderer said, still staring somberly at the Cimmerian. "Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.”
Game on Raglets are tied with The Glorious Habs So time to go to work Like Marty said things are coming quicker We usually rise to the level of the competition So get on your fucking horses Go Habs
Must really burn the no-dick fans to see this And their perfect building sits empty Team owner a holes no-dicks expos oil Think leagues are a little more careful oh sorry arizona What happens when you put a no mind fuck wit in charge right americant? Tesla anyone? Go Habs
Yep the predicto-meter indeed has a big fat zero for this game.
Might watch China vs Korea in the women's bronze medal game if something good doesn't happen quick in the 3rd. Doubt I'll be up at 4 am to watch Canada in the gold medal game.
just joined and that idiot is in goal again?!? facq i hate mt. tumble. he is the worst no.1 in the league?! why oh why oh why on plays where nobody else is nearby, he simply refuses to leave his blue paint safe zone?!
if u look at doobie, or remember when TFS played, he capitalised on these situations where there was no secondary threat to stomp on out into the white. at worst, by simple math, u are making the odds of a puck hitting u better than getting beat by a deflection like this.
smh.... fu monty. and i havent even seen the other ones hes let in before
and about a min or two before... how da hell is that not a penalty by that guy who lost his stick vs wifi?!? w/o his stick, he was on him using both hands to mandle him off the puck and out of the zone?!
Man you guys are hard on Monty. I agree he isn't an elite goalie, but he's had fantastic numbers since the break. Mind you the last 2 games his team picked him up to get 3 of 4 points after he let in some softies. They just can't do it this time around. It's clear MSL is going to lean on him. And I think that is a mistake. As noted Doobie should have played the Isles. Gotta give Doobie the crease in at least 5 of the remaining 13 games.
@St.P: man u guys are harsh?!? excuse me! im usually the only one pointing out his garbage goal gifting, his terrible anti-clutchness, his lack of aggression vs shots....
this guy is losing matches vs plumbers like sorokin and blackwood and u guys still say he should start 8 of the last 13?!?!
time to give it all to doobie. we know what we have with monty. doobie cannot do worse.
and these tv timeouts should he banned. facq i hate the modern nhl. when i was a kid, play went on and if a commercial ruined a goal on tv, too bad; next time be in the stands!
then nhl did a compromise to only do it during regular season, but alas.... we all know this is revenue and thats more important than momentum for the essense of sport
absolutely agree, 100%. if they allow the other 1/2 penalties to slide (laine, mackinnon...), how da facq do they call this on slaf?!? just cause hes a big body its a penalty?! it wasnt holding at all worse than those other ones also werent!
I did not comment last night but watched the full game and OT...and the shit out...not a typo. Habs might make the show but they are not quite ready for prime time. At one point the Abs played keep away - on a Habs power play. They are playing as a team and with heart but skill beats heart over 16 games most times...so we will see - I just want to see them make the show!
May I please also vent about the shootout? I mean - WT Actual fuck noad of shit was that? I love that they can all stick handle in a phone box - but in a shoot out, you gotta actually move - get the goalie moving - heres an idea - try not swinging down to the left, stopping for a beer then ambling across in reverse gear and not actually shooting. MOMENTUM...get some fucking speed up. Shoot the actual puck, deke a bit - that gets the goalie moving but for Fuck Sake...enough of the bullshit walk it into the goalcrease and expect the goalie to flop about shit. Please!
I hate that move too. It seldom works. Remember when Nick was treating us to 'the Datsyuk'. Good times. Laine though, man he has sweet mitts, I wish he was a more all around player.
Slafkovsky with most time on ice for forwards. And he spent 4 minutes in the box (2 of those unjustly).
ReplyDeleteHe's been a different player since the break. Hope the kid can keep it up.
Great game all around. No passengers. TJ even looked like a legit 2nd line centreman.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Sens played hard all night. On to Long Island. Keep up the pace and GYFHG!
ha! just saw this on yahoo: in 5-straight matches, linus ulmark had just defeated chicago, rangers, red wings, boston, toronto...
ReplyDelete'Twas a nice Original 5 run...
DeleteTis a beautiful morning.
ReplyDeleteNo games of significance tonight so Habs will hold their spot for another day.
The last time they were in this position (which lasted one day), their goal differential was -12. Now it's -16. Even though they're playing well, that number will need to be close to even or better by the end of the season to push for that playoff spot. Just win every game by one goal and get that to a -1.
Nate MacKinnon and his Avs are playing the wretched, putrid leaf tonight, the the 'Turds tomorrow night before coming to the Bell Center Saturday night. Hopefully Colorado will be a little tired after a night on the town at the strip bars Friday night.
ReplyDeleteThe oldest son will be there Saturday night with his family, I hope the Habs put on a show for them!
Tough road trip coming up next week: St. Louis, Philthy, Jerks and Cats. They need to get 4 points out of it.
ReplyDeleteMy predicto-meter is showing 5 points.
DeleteJosh Anderson had a tough time the previous season. I don't think too many folks here on moe's blog advocated for trading Josh because he wasn't scoring a lot of goals and he wasn't worth his contract.

DeleteIt's been a long while since we've hit the 200 comment section so quickly. Hence the throwback to the "ice cream and meth" ©HF29...should anybody be curious.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had much to talk about the last 3 years.
DeleteIf...I mean when...the Habs make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs, I wonder if I could find a feed for the games from a ship on the Adriatic Sea? Should start at 1am assuming 8pm AST game starts?

DeleteGo Avs! Go Nate! Tonight and tomorrow at least.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy
ReplyDeleteHappy for Powerhorse
I’ll give Devo a Spocks eyebrow
Maybe he wakes up in the playoffs
Who knew
Happy for new daddy gally
Happy Heineken is back he brings balance to the Force
Happy Hugo got the a/c man he also brings balance
Happy suzie got some folks singing backup
Him and cc have been singing solo
Happy for the slavster I think he’s starting to figure things out
Happy for Marty
But mostly happy for us
We’ve been waiting sort of patiently
So
Go Habs
Joy joy
Delete~~~
So a ref is involved in helping the leaf score a winning goal and it isn’t even looked at.
ReplyDeleteHope it helps these fuckers meet the Habs in the playoffs.
Bizarre play. Thought the responsible thing for the ref to do would be to whistle the play dead.
DeleteSo by hockey logic the Avs should come out pissed tonight and take their frustrations oit on the Sens, beat their asses, then celebrate til all hours Friday at Montreal's best establishments and be a wash against the Habs Saturday.
DeleteThat SiM, is very sound logic.
DeleteCould, nay should, be only 2 points separating the Habs and Sens after tonight.
The problem with a tight playoff race, we have to (quietly) hope (cheer is too strong a word) for the leaf and panthers to win tonight.
ReplyDeletePanthers no problem. leaf, no way, I hope the Rags beat them, Montreal has games in hand.
DeleteCondolences to Gally and family on their loss.
ReplyDeleteSad
Go Habs
RIP to Brendan Gallagher's Mom, you raised a good one. Condolences and prayers to the Gallagher family.
ReplyDeleteRIP. Condolences to Brendan and the entire Gallagher family.
ReplyDeleteCondolences to Gally and family.

That's sad about Della Gallagher's passing. I wonder if she had a chance to meet her granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteso sad

LFG!
ReplyDeleteHow is it goaltender interference when it happens two feet in front of the blue paint? Kill it!
ReplyDeleteThat's one.
ReplyDeleteHope MSL doesn't fall into the trap of playing Monty every game just because he's mostly played very well since the break.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a no doubter where Doobie could play.
Cash it for HF29.
ReplyDeleteJR!
ReplyDeleteWaWa!
ReplyDeleteBlogger's a bit buggered for me.
ReplyDeleteYep, Avs are pissed about that goal last night.
ReplyDelete5-0 in the 2nd over the Sens.
Bull. Fucking. Shit. Call!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantom penalty called against Lep.
ReplyDeleteWell at least there's a makeup call. Ref 2 knows ref 1 effed up.

Man that was close.

(i dare anybody to ask me why im so enflammed about this)

ReplyDeleteI'll bite. Why so upset?
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's in the "why we can't have nice things" dept.
ReplyDeleteWhat did we really expect ?

Two.
ReplyDeleteYep. Worst PP in the league. They were actually 0 for their last 21 including 0 for 8 vs LA.
ReplyDelete@Maritimer: no it wasnt (& anybody please correct me if im wrong), offside is when an attacking player enters the opponents zone (the white) before the puck has touched the blueline. full stop, with/out the puck.

Wooly Bully!!
ReplyDeleteWooly!
ReplyDeleteahahahhaa! and as i type that..
ReplyDeletewooly bully!!!!
I think MJ is wrong. Slaf is outside the crease. Good goal.
ReplyDeleteI believe that every year the Habs get hot and potentially playoff bound that many of their goals get reviewed. Weird.

yaaaaas!
ReplyDelete1. finally a fail challenge = delay game penalty!
2. WTF is GIJöel on PP1?
I was pretty confident that was a good goal, Sorokin was outside the crease you can do whatever you want to him then. Just ask Carey.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with moe get rid of the fucking biased 'war room' in tranna. Put it in a neutral city like Quebec or Halifax.
ReplyDelete@oleg: man I just have a good sense how the dicks in tronna are going to call things. And I refuse to use the 'war room' moniker they've given it. This is a goddamned game. Just wait a bit we might just see what a war room is really needed for.

ReplyDeleteOh well. Can't win'em all.
ReplyDeleteComeback loser point at least.
ReplyDeleteDoobie would likely have won in regulation.
Important point for us; no one gained on us tonight and only the BJs kept up.
ReplyDeleteOur Doobie Bro should start Saturday ahainst the Avs, who kindly are following the script I laid out for them upthread here. They'll need to party hard tomorrow, on their only stop in Montreal night-life-party-town. I am confident Druid can lead the way down Crescent St. for his teammates.
Go Pens! Sid, this is the most important game of your life. I want to see a 5 point night!
ReplyDeletePage update.
ReplyDeleteI've also added the remainder of my 'Predicto-meter' which still has us finishing with 93 points (Still at +4 as my original prediction had us finishing with 89). That's another 19 points in the last 14 games. That would be high quality hockey at a 0.678 pace. Only the Caps have a better percentage through this stage. But I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
MSL just has to be smart with the goalie situation. Don't fall into the trap of relying on one tender. I truly believe Doobie would have given them a better chance to win last night.
And not that Struble has been playing poorly, but if Guhle is back before April, that 7 game winning stretch becomes a bit more possible.
They are 8-1-3 since the break btw (only that 1-0 loss to Calgary was in regulation). That is an incredible 0.791 pace. So maybe a 0.678 pace the rest of the way isn't crazy.
DeleteVery optimistic but I like it. I don't know about that Blues game, those guys are red hot too.
DeleteWatching the Hockey Junkie game review, referring to Bo Horvat as "That Dirty Little Horvat" had me in stitches. This guy has the best hockey channel by a Newfoundland mile.

Yes I watch him and Habs digest all the time. I like the Shaun Starr as well, the Tony Manario is good but way way to long.
Deleteoh yeah, junkie is awesome! hes been doing it all yr, with liners like that. we are so lucky hes one of us!
Deleteanother guy i like is this guy (whiskey lung). he has the best intro song btw. anybody can guess where from?!?!
https://youtu.be/U_sbZxzsINM?si=23rgQNCr19SFZiiL
Did I read somewhere that dumbass is the gm of some international Canada hockey thing??
ReplyDeleteDoes this guy have pictures of somebody
He was too stupid for the leaf so he left to destroy the flightless birds not he’s gonna fuck up some Canada club
Who makes these decisions?
Go Habs
Thank you Penguins!
ReplyDeleteRest in peace George Foreman.

Fuck RDS for caving to $ and showing poilievre ads.
ReplyDeleteIt's Bell. That's all they care about.
DeleteI dont want to beat on Gretzky. ITs like star trek, JIm I am a hockey player not a totem pole of Canadian idenity. We all have , never use the universal steve. Some wives may say, if you want to have sex love Donald.
ReplyDeleteRIP Big George...

One could put this to music.
DeleteHey ho let’s go !
~~~
awesome SiM! i have no clue who are the tossers and kuh-niggets, but ill find out later as the day approaches.
Deletethnx for doing your part! onwards and upwards! start doobie! bench mt. tumble until sept. im so sick of forcing the boys to overcome his garbage gifts each match!
U-tah

The long version is Silly Vegas Kuh-niggets, after the French castle guard in Monty Python's the Holy Grail. "You silly English Kuh-niggets!"

I like the U-tah U-bolts...
Deletehahahah.... ok. i should have known that and kuh-nigs is what i kinda thought it was.
ReplyDeleteu guys might not believe it, but i spent some time down there in the beehive state. fine folks. really good people. just dont talk too much about things beyond the stateline unless its about football (american style).
i love how they didnt rush to put a team name out, but now im cringing on them for their final three candidates: HC, Mammonth, Wassach. if youve been to utah you would know a nantural should have been: jackalopes.
Watching the Nucks/Rags game. 50 minutes in and NYR have 9 shots. And are leading 2-1.
ReplyDeleteIt's not sustainable and they're not a serious threat at this pace. Game before last I think they had 13 shots.
Update. Now 2-2. GYMFCanucksG!!!
I've been watching this not only because it matters in the standings, but keeping a close eye everytime Q Hughes is on the ice. There are real similarities twixt he and Hutson. And that is a very good thing.
DeleteUpdate. 3-2 Rags...on their 10th shot. 7 minutes left.
Canucks tie it up!
DeleteAnd NYR immediately take the lead on shot #11.
4-3.
This goalie cannot stop a puck. A 0.636 save % won't often win you a game. But the Rangers suck so maybe.
In the words of Anne Lennox I hope 29 is hovering over me to protect my intellectual capital from the capitalist apex predators. Here goes " An idea that goes against human nature." Human civilization is built on that idea, that we can control our animal insticts but more importantly we can defie millimus of slavery and flip the switch in our lizard brian from fight or flee to serve and protect no matter what the cost in real terms or maybe as the Fraser guys like to say all the time, opportunity costs, I have lost so many oppourtiny costs that my wealth would make Herr Elon look like a pauper. This is my rally cry for tonite. Go for the playoffs, go for the world to see what a plucky little team can do when like the A team a plan comes together. Even if it was so many plans stiched togther.
ReplyDeleteI can see I might have caused some confusion, especially among the word scientest we call lawyers. The full statement that is my published statement is now following : Goverment is a fatal blow to individual freedom. This idea that goes against human nature. Goverment is civilizatin and I have played that game so many time I have the record for finishing as Dan Qualye
DeleteBoo Canucks. You suck.
ReplyDeleteAs for Utah, seriously while I'm not generally a fan of the names that don't have an 's' for plural. But being the beehive state, I thought Hive, Swarm or Sting were excellent options.
Or the Buttes. Which is pronounced like Beaut as in beauty. Utah is well known for that geological formation.
Their 3 options all suck and HC is somehow the least dumb of the three.
Implant a second line center into Cpt Hook. The Hook from the rock. He is from the rock that is half way to being a Spartan.
ReplyDeleteYep, and I hereby bequeth NewHook with a new nick: Killick

@steve, to quote Robert E. Howard : “Barbarism is the natural state of mankind," the borderer said, still staring somberly at the Cimmerian. "Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.”
ReplyDeleteDonald the Barbarian is going to send the U.S. back to the Stone Age economically.
DeleteFlames beat the Fishermen in OT, they only gain a point on Montreal.
ReplyDeleteKanuckles are useless
ReplyDeleteWest coast surfers
Way too drifty to focus
Too many petterssonssss
They should get a goalie
Go Habs
King Richard in 1982, Kirk McLean in 1994, Luongo in 2011, couldn't get it done.
DeleteGYMFHG! JFW! LFG!
ReplyDeleteBizNasty slumming on National TV with his leaf rags on. Fuk him.
ReplyDeleteGame on
ReplyDeleteRaglets are tied with The Glorious Habs
So time to go to work
Like Marty said things are coming quicker
We usually rise to the level of the competition
So get on your fucking horses
Go Habs
Montembohno!
ReplyDeleteSo much for the concept of the Avs not being pumped for this game...
ReplyDeleteGYFHG!
That's 2.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Monty wanted Doobie to start too.
ReplyDeleteGames like this bring us down to earth a bit. Getting overwhelmed and outworked in their own zone. They have work to do.
ReplyDeleteTalent defenciency...
DeleteRight where they want them after one, with the worst lead in hockey....
ReplyDeleteI miss Leko.
ReplyDeleteAX with the TKO!!!
ReplyDeleteMust really burn the no-dick fans to see this
ReplyDeleteAnd their perfect building sits empty
Team owner a holes no-dicks expos oil
Think leagues are a little more careful oh sorry arizona
What happens when you put a no mind fuck wit in charge right americant?
Tesla anyone?
Go Habs
That's 3.
ReplyDeleteSlaf.
ReplyDeleteClaude Raines...
DeleteSlaf!
ReplyDeleteAnother point for El Capitan. That ppg goal of his is looking good.
ReplyDeleteOK cash this fucker! For 29.
ReplyDeleteThat was the chance. Don't think it's in the cards for them tonight.
ReplyDeleteNope. Not tonight.
DeleteIsn't there a zero on your predicto-meter chart for tonight anyway?
I know one thing, Wool has to stop carrying the puck, good grief.
ReplyDeleteYep the predicto-meter indeed has a big fat zero for this game.
ReplyDeleteMight watch China vs Korea in the women's bronze medal game if something good doesn't happen quick in the 3rd.
Doubt I'll be up at 4 am to watch Canada in the gold medal game.
World curling.
DeleteNice see the Habs were patient with Ax just seeing that avalanche creature and have our boy take care of him was good
ReplyDeleteGo Habs
That should do it.
ReplyDeleteCurling it is.
ReplyDeleteColorado too good. Hopefully our guys will be somewhere close to that level in another two years with Fowler in net instead of Mr. Threeormore.
ReplyDeletejust joined and that idiot is in goal again?!? facq i hate mt. tumble. he is the worst no.1 in the league?! why oh why oh why on plays where nobody else is nearby, he simply refuses to leave his blue paint safe zone?!
ReplyDeleteif u look at doobie, or remember when TFS played, he capitalised on these situations where there was no secondary threat to stomp on out into the white. at worst, by simple math, u are making the odds of a puck hitting u better than getting beat by a deflection like this.
smh.... fu monty. and i havent even seen the other ones hes let in before
The only one I wouldn't fault him on is the Necas goal on the PP. No one is stopping that.
Deleteand about a min or two before... how da hell is that not a penalty by that guy who lost his stick vs wifi?!? w/o his stick, he was on him using both hands to mandle him off the puck and out of the zone?!
ReplyDeletegood job killik! if u were the real deal, u woulda finished that chance before as well, but still. good job.
ReplyDeletepls remind me bros:
lekky became barron who became roch?
fairbrother became killik?
druid became a free transfer?
Man you guys are hard on Monty. I agree he isn't an elite goalie, but he's had fantastic numbers since the break. Mind you the last 2 games his team picked him up to get 3 of 4 points after he let in some softies. They just can't do it this time around.
ReplyDeleteIt's clear MSL is going to lean on him. And I think that is a mistake. As noted Doobie should have played the Isles. Gotta give Doobie the crease in at least 5 of the remaining 13 games.
Don't trust him.
DeleteOr maybe part of that supreme team spirit thing. 4 Shotouts this season.
DeleteLastSlaf!
ReplyDeleteand if we didnt have this jumbo dumbo in our goal, we probably could/ should be winning? (again?)
ReplyDeleteSaint Paddy come back!
ReplyDelete@St.P: man u guys are harsh?!? excuse me! im usually the only one pointing out his garbage goal gifting, his terrible anti-clutchness, his lack of aggression vs shots....
ReplyDeletethis guy is losing matches vs plumbers like sorokin and blackwood and u guys still say he should start 8 of the last 13?!?!
time to give it all to doobie. we know what we have with monty. doobie cannot do worse.
I'm not saying should. I'm saying will. MSL isn't putting the playoff race on the shoulders of a rookie.
Deleteyea yeah eyabeya eyabwyabeuahb!!!
ReplyDeleteDEVO!!!!
ReplyDeletei swear to god monty.... if u let in another stinking piece of garbage, im gonna put u on IR rest of year
ReplyDeleteWow, I come back in time to see the tying goal. Wtf happened!?
ReplyDeletewhat happened is they didnt have a shot on goal for awhile
Deleteand these tv timeouts should he banned. facq i hate the modern nhl. when i was a kid, play went on and if a commercial ruined a goal on tv, too bad; next time be in the stands!
ReplyDeletethen nhl did a compromise to only do it during regular season, but alas.... we all know this is revenue and thats more important than momentum for the essense of sport
Can't count these guys out I guess.
ReplyDeletejust curious if u guys remember when druid was qb-ing our pp
ReplyDeleteSadly, yes.
DeleteDark days.
DeleteHuge point. 2 would be better!
ReplyDeleteHuge point.
ReplyDeleteDead Things lose. leaf lose.
is this millen as the colour guy?!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely agree, 100%. if they allow the other 1/2 penalties to slide (laine, mackinnon...), how da facq do they call this on slaf?!? just cause hes a big body its a penalty?! it wasnt holding at all worse than those other ones also werent!
and if these refs wanna make themselves feel important, wheres the make-up call?!?
ReplyDeleteIt's Galley. He generally hates the Habs.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, i knew that.
Deleteand fwiw...
i dont hate him like u guys do
Sweet Wooly mitts.
ReplyDeleteCan't give up 4 or 5 goals and expect to win. Sorry.
ReplyDeletewhen i see monty in net, i dont expect to win. what gets me most are washing these herculean efforts when hes starting.
DeleteTake the point and run.
ReplyDelete1 extra point on the P-O-M this week means we would see a 94 pt finish.
4 game road trip coming up with 5 of 8 points on the board. A 2-1-1 record.
Will cross my fingers.
DeleteStill in a playoff spot.
leaf got spanked in Smashville, oh the sfu pain.
Take the point. Give Doby the next game ffs.
ReplyDelete4 games in 6 nights. It's gotta be 2 for Doobie.
ReplyDeleteEvery point is sacred
ReplyDeleteEvery point is great
If a point is wasted
Habs fans get quite irate
There are Laffs in this world
DeleteThere are ovechkinists
There are Bruins and Rags fans and
then
There are those that follow McDavid
I did not comment last night but watched the full game and OT...and the shit out...not a typo. Habs might make the show but they are not quite ready for prime time. At one point the Abs played keep away - on a Habs power play. They are playing as a team and with heart but skill beats heart over 16 games most times...so we will see - I just want to see them make the show!
ReplyDeleteMay I please also vent about the shootout? I mean - WT Actual fuck noad of shit was that? I love that they can all stick handle in a phone box - but in a shoot out, you gotta actually move - get the goalie moving - heres an idea - try not swinging down to the left, stopping for a beer then ambling across in reverse gear and not actually shooting. MOMENTUM...get some fucking speed up. Shoot the actual puck, deke a bit - that gets the goalie moving but for Fuck Sake...enough of the bullshit walk it into the goalcrease and expect the goalie to flop about shit. Please!
ReplyDeleteI hate that move too. It seldom works. Remember when Nick was treating us to 'the Datsyuk'. Good times.
DeleteLaine though, man he has sweet mitts, I wish he was a more all around player.
Hang on Boys Go you Fucking Habs go, did someone not say in the playoffs anything can happen, what about a Demigod transfusion?
