Kent Hughes did the right thing keeping these guys together. They might not get into the playoffs but it won't be for lack of trying. Great camaraderie with these players unlike the morbid leaf.
That scrap with AX last night was something else. It was strange how Middleton just left Anderson and bolted to Arber. A reporter said AX shouted "I'm over here if you need me". Invitation accepted ... and Middleton paid for it.
As for the supposed Cup contenders from the CotU, Nashville pumped 5 unanswered goals past "the best goalies in the league". Sure, how many times have we heard that before? mclame was so happy that the Habs game ran over into the Oilers game so he and his clown panel didn't have to talk about it, especially the ridiculous BizNasty. Suck it SFU!
Its a bargin bin just pollution fire with the nuclear advocats or the guys who think, I am the only one that can breath fire. But you can buy the same high alcoool mouthwhase anywhere. I have breatheed fire and all it did was set the toothpaste on fire.
SFU just keep getting worse, if that's possible, by employing homer clowns like Bisonnette. They can fucking have him.
At least 90% of former players they hire either played for the leaf and/or are from the CotU.
I know the broadcaster owns the team, but it seems very short sighted to me to basically say fuck you to about 70% (I'm estimating) of your potential viewership. Seems like bad business sense. Shrug.
I’ve said it before, it’ll get worse before it gets better and it’ll never get better.
The sfu is a fuckíng desperate bunch They can feel the upcoming playoff crunch Their broadcast team is in desperate need No leaf win and their numbers will bleed
Playoff concrtee. Yeah we are that. Powerhose and the First Yoel will change history. I know because I listen to all the little birds. DEmi Demi Demi , it sung like Falco. Hey Hey the Russiank kid that can score at will, and he is ours and we will never give him up , even for the whole provicene of Alberta. It seems the Premier likes the cut of Trumps mushroom and thinks all the fake musslese they put upon PEE PEE could be something she could work with to make Ayn Rand a credible source
I did a deeper dive with the predict-o-meter and it looks pretty good for the Habs. The Sens have a very easy schedule and will hang onto that first wildcard spot (assuming the Dolts don't slide down to it). I'm including the Sens, Habs, Rags, Isles and BJs in the race. The Dead Things and Pooh bears are out. All teams have 13 games remaining except the Rags have only 11.
The OG prediction had the Habs getting to 89 points, which would appear to be enough to get in. Since they've done better than expected since the break they currently sit at a predicted 94 points. I have the Sens getting to 95 points. And it seems there is wiggle room as the next best point total is the Rangers with 87. Here's the breakdown: Team Current Predicted Sens 79 95 Habs 75 94 Rags 74 87 Isles 73 85 BJs 71 84
That said, I think the first wildcard would be much better. The Caps are the only team in the East that I see as a real threat. If it weren't for them, anybody could win. Except the leaf.
Story on the leafs' latest bust of a deadline trade for Laughton (to be pronounced laff-ton), and one of the comments is a real gem:
It went right down to the wire at the deadline but luckily the Leafs were able to rid themselves of a top prospect and another pesky first round pick.
And the number of fans still supporting and rationalizing that trade is baffling, and yet not surprising, and just another reason why that shit team will never see success in the playoffs.
OK, so that was just a numbers article so I assume your italicized comment was from the comments section. I couldn't find it but I found this gem (and truth) "Adding a guy who's used to losing....to a group with a history of losing....is a recipe for......losing."
Known leaf homer Jeff O'Neill has said this more than once : "The 5 main guys are the ones that have to figure out how to win. Changing all these periphery players year after year does nothing." Something like that anyway.
3 pt game last night but it's OK. I actually had that included in my above calculations. We're Canucks fans this week as both the Isles and BJs next game are vs them. Go Canucks. Don't suck.
I watched the no goal that would have won it for the Isles in regulation due to 'goalie interference'. Every time I see something like that I remember how this one was NOT interference https://youtu.be/2y_iW6NDb5s and if you watch it and can bare listening to Galley, note how he doesn't mention Carey Price being dragged to downtown Laval by the NYR skater even once.
I love what Patty Roy said after the game. "If Toronto is afraid to overturn calls made by the referees, we don't need Toronto." Preach brother!
Lets go Buffalo! Beat those fucking Turds. Gotta hope for the Dolts to take down the flightless birds. You got this Avs, you can finish the Dead Things And we wanna see the Rags wiped out by the Kings Philly and the leaf...nobody gives a shit The Habs will beat the Blues because they never quit!
I think the Habs get a regulation loss tonight, they are due for one and the Blues are red hot. I hope I'm wrong and the rest of your calls for tonight come in.
I think tonight we have a good test of our focus. We are the two top teams currently and we both have stuff on the line. So we need a full four line three pair effort tonight. A simple game heavy on no mistakes and strong D and backcheck by everyone. Playoffs are coming with no real break and a couple of back to backs. So pucker time boys time to shine. Go Canada Fuck murica Go Habs
From albertakitkat (on Bluesky): “I was watching MASH….Pierre Poilievre is Frank Burns. Completely enamored of men with power, no empathy, dishonest, hypocritical, has a good job but totally sucks at it, judgemental, thinks he is ‘all that’.
Rangers are the only team that can pass them and the Kings have been playing very well. Sens are losing to Barfalo. If that doesn't change that is still just a 4 point gap.
Pretty sure they're not coming back from this 4-1 defect.
omg! i just got home from work looking forward to whiskeylung and hockeyjunkie. junkie didnt make a video, but from what i saw, im not surprised! holy crap, was that the worst game theyve played all yr? or or or...
... was that finally enough proof that samuel sucks balls and should mediate between our designate #2?!
Well was that an anomaly or the shades of things to come We were up we were focused so are we just a bad team that can punch above our weight class or did we just come out sleepy or do we just like the comeback challenge Hard to figure but one things for sure we better start rotating goalies Filthy is a must win Go Habs
I only watched the 2nd period. I thought about taking a few shots at Monty but decided to go the Walt Disney route : "If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all." By the accounts of the game I have read, the Habs started very slow and what I saw in the 2nd period is the defence backing in constantly and Monty getting screened. Every goal I saw was a 40-50 footer that he whiffed on or was deflected. I think the book on Monty is high glove side.
Anyway, if the Isles win tonight they move into the wildcard spot so this is what we can expect for the rest of the season. Rotating between disappointment and elation. Fun times.
Plus, the Blues are a damn good team from what I saw and are on a roll. Currently, they are the better team for sure so I wouldn't write too much into that loss. I think I actually predicted it.
I just don’t understand how our compete level fluctuates Ok some of us are young but we are 12 games from the playoffs I think we should be just humming And what we have are slow starts I’m confused Go Habs
Seems Monty is not built for leaning on. I'd start Doobie about every third game, or even more if he turns in a really good performance. Lots on the line so don't you usually go with the hot hand in these situations?
The downturn in offensive production aside from the top line in general began when Heineken was hit by that car in Utah. Since then, that line specifically has been terrible offensively and average defensively where they were the clear top 4th line in the first half of the season. Hopefully they can get going.
Matheson was brutal last night. I hate that every time he sets up in the O zone and he gets the puck, his first option is always shoot (and usually into the shin pads of a defender) rather than pass to the wide open winger. Not to mention the giveaways. But he won't sit when Ghoulie is back. So who? Savard should be the answer. Love the guy but is skating in quicksand these days.
Might be passive aggressive, but if I was a reporter with access to MSL I'd ask him if there is something concerning he's seen with the play of Dobes in practice to keep him from getting in the crease.
hard disagree with mr qanon... maths isnt perfect, and in my books, he does somewhere above 51% of the things right.
i say this b/c his gaveaways are quite high, but he is a high risk, high reward type of defenseman. no different than dish, no different than PFK. there is a price to pay for these rare guys and part of responsible asset management is to pair him with a heavy wet blanket like chariot, or vodkov.
if u wanna find a scapegoat for all the bad math, look to the numbers from our starting keeper.
MnM is an enigma for sure. Some nights he looks great others he looks like Von Klumsy part deux. Ideally he would be on the 2nd pairing maybe lower. He is a great skater and if he plays within himself he is OK. Friend oleg is right, he is a bit of a gambler like Dish, not quite as risky as PFK was though. Unfortunately he is needed at the moment like Montyohno! Bite on the stick and enjoy the ride.
They won’t sit savvy or maths they’ll demote struble sadly he’s playing some good hockey Agree with Heineken since utah that line has cooled off unfortunately rolling four was important Comon you frickin kanuckles Let’s go Go Habs
i saw that website campaign on my YT commericals also! if its one thing i hate more than what i was talking about above its our tax dollars being wasted.
why is "canada first" NOW? only b/c of the dummy down south, or some other strange coincidence. if u buy into this than youre an idiot also, cause it should have been this way, before, now and always. the fact that this advertising campaign has resonance proves how mismatched ppl's actions are with their mouths.
unjustly villified for he saying it, but the coach was right. "you people" who are championing this propaganda... where were you before this became vogue?
Well, before the orange felon, backed by Russia and billionaires took over our neighbours to the south, we had a reasonable, friendly relationship. No system is perfect, but we had a trade agreement in place that the aforementioned FOTUS himself signed, which again while not perfect worked for industry and consumers. Could Canada have spent the last decades trying to be more self reliant? Perhaps. But it didn't NEED to because of a strong relationship with our neighbours. We have now learned that Canada NEEDS to work towards that goal while expanding its trade vision to other parts of the world. Hence the reason we are now seeing this uptick in patriotism. Just because we didn't do it before doesn't mean we shouldn't do it now. That's a terrible argument.
Your quoting of the xenophobic old crotch isn't scoring you any points. The fact is he was an intolerable, insufferable douchebag for decades and the only injustice is that he lasted as long as he did. He was a great fan of the white, English speaking hockey players. Period. And he sure loved to show his love for the Canadian military. But my father, a white, English speaking WW2 vet who lost friends while they stormed Juno beach on D-Day couldn't stand to listen to him almost from the first time he appeared on HNIC. And that was enough for me. And always will be.
Every night I watch the CBC news, read some clips on the internet and I shake my head in disbelief at what I am witnessing in the U.S. The complete and utter destruction of a democratic, rule of law country, by a raving lunatic convict and a gang of utter nincompoops who are acting like Nazi Germany, North Korea and the KGB ruled USSR. Arresting people for writing op-eds or posting comments on-line. Attacking their neighbouring country by tearing up a legal document that the convict himself negotiated and signed. It's like I've fallen into a parallel universe like Kirk and the gang on Star Trek TOS. Sheer Insanity. Like Doug Ford said last night, we have no choice now but to fight like hell and punch back hard. And, I wouldn't let the traitress Smith back in the country. She can stay in Florida and kiss the orange arse all she wants.
Agree100% Don’t understand her thinking if she is doing any She is clearly a little trumpette and doesn’t see that her oil can be sold anywhere I actually think that a good bit of it should be pumped into a couple of places in that province and set on fire I have worked in almost every town in that place without a decent memory of anything Time for Mr Mark to put some screws to her Anyway On to philthy and victory to our Glorious Habs Go Canada Fuck murica and it’s toothless uneducated inbred muthrfuckers And Go Habs
Yep, the first game after a coach firing is always dangerous. Good thing for me it's poker night, so I won't be watching. But during those usual long stretches where I get shit cards, I'll keep an eye on the scoreboard to see how the Habs and the other playoff wannabees are doing.
I don't like what I've seen tonight or the last 5 games for that matter. Digging holes early. If they keep this up they can forget about playoffs. I think it's safe to say they are in a slump.
Well I broke even. First time for that. It was worth it to miss the fiasco on the ice. It's like none of the teams in the race want that last spot. The Caps will have a cakewalk over whichever team it is. Instill hope the Habs wake up and make a run at it . Even if they bow out in 4 straight it would mean they're heading in the right direction. Hugo must be looking at the ups and downs of this team and be pulling his hair out (figuratively of course).
I try to stay positive about the guys on the team. Shitting on players isn't productive. But I've had concerns about the goaltending for awhile. I posted this at the end of last season.
And is our goaltending good enough? Primo/Monty were 41st/50th in GAA and 20th/38th in Save%. Monty has his moments but is Primo the guy until Fowler is ready? What about giving up on them and taking a shot at Laurent Brossoit? Sounds like he's from QC but isn't (he's from BC). 31 years old. Great numbers last year with a 2.00 GAA and .927 Save% with WPG. Or big Anthony Stolarz with FLA. 2.02 and .925 Both of them gave up nearly one goal less per game than our guys. REalizing some of that is on the D, but not all. For a while, each of our guys it seemed were good for one stinker per game. It's like my golf game, gotta get rid of those from your game to move on up.
Doobie was a great story with his hot start. But he's cooled off. And I try my best to give Monty the benefit of the doubt, but he does't make it easy. So aside from the 2nd goalie name changing, this concern still stands (except maybe the stinker per game ratio is more like 1.5 per game now). I think we're 2 seasons from Fowler. I assume he'll do a year in Laval. So does this team run with the Mount Dubious duo next year? Does a healthy Guhlie and more offence make up for the oft average at best goaltending?
Oh well let's see how this season runs out and go from there. Despite the challenges on the back end, I still have hope in watching playoff hockey.
Both goaltenders are questionable. Montembohno runs hot an cold but has obvious weaknesses, shots from distance and glove side. Doobie is still young and learning.
The defence has issues, Matheson's gaffes, Savard lack of foot speed, AX still taking penalties at inopportune times. The other 3 are fine.
The 1st line, Nick is the only constant. 2nd line a mishmash, Wool can be an anchor. 3rd line fairly consistent. 4th line lost their mojo can't seem to get it back.
For some reason they can't start a game properly, maybe they should just try to play to a draw at the start until they get their act together. Not holding my breath for a playoff spot, they have accomplished their stated goal of being 'in da mix', at this time (late March) they are playing with house money.
I thonk I finally getvwhat the logo on the Canes' jerseys is all about: S.O.S. our govt is killing FEMA and we're fucked in every hurricane from now on!
Fucking Canucks have blown a 3 goal lead and then led 5-3. Gave up 3 to go down 6-5 and scored right away to tie it at 6. Crazy fucking game. Helluva lot more entertaining.
There is no glass half full, its a full glass no matter what the outcome. We make the playoff bonus, we almost make the playoffs, lessons learned and a great draft pick. In fact missing the playoffs may have more value. With two middle first rounders we can put together a package for SId.
Brian Wilde is pumping Sid's tires pretty hard to come to the Habs. He makes the point that unless Sid has a no trade clause it's Dumbass who gets to decide if there is a trade or not. And I don't know why Boy Wonder wouldn't try to see what he would get to jumpstart a rebuild. I'm pretty sure the fanbase in Pitt wouldn't mind seeing their team get younger and better and Kent has a boatload of capital to offer.
Unless they turn things around very quickly I think the playoff dream is over. Caleb Desnoyer would be a nice consolation prize.
I think it takes the 2 firsts, Mailloux and a roster player. Dach is too risky so the Pens say no. I say they want Slaf in return. That would be a decision for Hughes to make.
I doubt they want CR (Claude Raines), Dubas would want Demigod which is a no go. I think the only way this goes down is if Sid tells Dubas I will only go to Montreal. So, they want a center back, picks and A list prospect. Here's my offer: 1st round 2025, 2nd round 2025, 3rd round 2025, Dach or Hook, WaWa. Take it or leave it.
I won’t lose sleep if the Habs barely make the playoffs. I’d love to see this team currently assembled together make it. The camaraderie and family aspect seems a part of them. Should they make it, it will fuck over the sfu and leafool empty headed minds. ~~~
I'm watching playoff hockey today. Demidov moved from 13th forward in game 1 to the first line today. That 'coach' is insane. Demi with the goal today. Currently in OT.
Someone posted a video of a huge brawl between fans at a playoff hockey game at the Miramichi Civic Center last night. This was after a fight on the ice in the 3rd period between the Miramichi Northmen and the Elsipogtog Hawks in the Beausejour Senior Hockey League. I wish I could post a link but you can probably find it on Facebook. Just another Friday night on the Miramichi eh Saint Paddy?
- why show narcos scoring on the Habs, scum move as expected - first comment out of mclame’s mouth is about gambling - it is 1pm in Los Angeles, some ‘night’ game - why is the horrendous botterill on this ‘panel’ ? (she’s a shill) - sportsnet scum do not broadcast the great PWHL games, botterill is a fake - 10 minutes about Ottawa, weird, is the sfu gambling with their bets - now onto the bluejackets … - friedman, with splooge on his face wants his leaf to be in first, same comment during the Covid cup - why is the horrendous botterill on this ‘panel’ ? Oh, narcos bukkake - sfu panel would give narcos and marner a shared Selke, 🤡 s - I’d elbow mclame in the face many, many times - who is this panel clown, he sucks the leaf hard - who is this panel clown botterill, she sucks the leaf hard - Hahaha a poilievre ad, keep plugging this scumbag hnic, you scumbag$ - ~~~
I had the mute button on for most of that, especially if I see Botterill's lips flapping. I did hear the fried-man shilling his leaf but it was funny how he thought it strange that since 1967, their Stanley Cup winning year, his leaf had only won two division titles in 58 years. The 2021 Covid season and 1999-00. Really? The fried-man obviously forgot about all the Ballard years.
Hey the M, I hadn't heard about that fight. But I can tell you when I was in high school there wasn't a game between the two high schools from either side of the river that didn't end in fights in the stands and/or outside after the game. I may or may not have been in a couple of those altercations.
Look at BitCHkoff go without torturella on his back. Rock Fast Lane better step up fast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmszfHF5ZWU&ab_channel=BigHeadHockey
'Turds helping the Habs out so far. L.A. looking good. Moncton Wildcats up 2 zip on the Remparts, Desnoyers with a goal and two apples. Toronto Jr. CANADIENS win the OHL Cup, top U-16 team in Ontario.
I read it in le Devoir. Thanks for sharing. I think he's right. There is no stomach for negative ads right now in most of the electorate. I might even slow down with the Ferret Face tagging on Poilievre (although he really does embody the full Major Frank Burns ethos rather well).
I've always thought with politicians it's all about power. They are mostly in the game for their own benefit, whether they want a high paying job or a chance to set themselves up down the road for a better paying job. I highly doubt they really care about you or me.
I may be a romantic, but I can make a case that liberals are for country and cons are for confidence men. Lets start with PET vs Lyn Brian. Pet had a vision for the country Lyn had a vison of America. Jean Chretien was just happy to keep the ship sailing with the sails trimmed. Justin propably drank too much koolaid but he was all about letting people live without prejudice. PP is about making Canada a 51st state, if not in legistation, in action.
I might be wrong, but I would bet EVERY government of the past 50 years or more wanted close ties with the U.S. financially. And why not, over 300 million customers to sell stuff to. Then, along comes a raving lunatic and a bunch of oligarchs who want ... everything. We have to basically start over on the trade front and hope we can find some new customers who don't want to fuck us over. Gonna be a long haul.
I think it would be great if the states of Maine, California, Oregon and Washington all voted to secede from the U.S. and become the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th provinces of Canada.
Lane Hutson only two assists from the second best rookie season for a Dman, Chris Chelios, six behind Larry Murphy. Kid has a shot at best of all time. Not even the sfu could deny him RoY then. Like Mike Johnson said, Mitchkov and Celebrini are playing for nothing on bottom feeders. Lane in a big playoff race and contributing massively.
I am all in for Wool in the 8 for 6 or less for 8. He is one dimensional but was not always so, I think he will improve. Same goes for Devo.( 180 turn on Devo, but hey he is good in the room, and underated on the ice ) Pencil him in for the 3 rd line and trade for a real 2 nd. I dont think we can afford Bennet and why would he leave Florida? I think we have to focus on Sids mother. Its to bad we did not push for Dylan Hollaway. When St lou offered 2.5 we should have gone for 3.5.
17 games since the break. While my game predictions were off a tad (why I don't often bet on sports), I had predicted a record of 8-5-4 for 20 points. They had a record of 9-4-4 for 22 points. Initial projection was finishing with 89 points. New projection is 91 points. This is assuming the predicted 7-2 record in April. 87 points 'might' be enough to get the spot, but I would feel better about hitting 90 so a record of 6-2-1 would be good.
Good job on the projections, 90 points would probably do it. It seems one of the 5 teams will back their way into a wild card spot. One of the francophone reporters was doing a similar projection and he pointed out that Minnesota got in one year with 87 and of course there was 2010 when chokula's Habs got in with 88 and proceeded to knock off Sid's Pens and Ovi's Caps with Jaro Halak playing out of his mind. Good memories from that run until they got Michael Leighton(ed), he shut them out 3 times in that conference final series.
OK, my memories are mixed up, it was Jaro who led that charge to the conference finals. That was when the debate was who was better TFS or Jaro. Gauthier traded Jaro for Lego after that run.
As exciting as it's been riding in the Fast Lane with Hutson, I think what Captain Suzuki is doing is equally as impressive and important. In the past 30 years, the Habs have had one (1) player reach a ppg pace AND hit the top 20 in scoring. Alex Kovalev in 07/08 with 84 pts in 82 games. That's it. Turgeon and Damphousee did it in 94/95. For this young captain to be heading towards that goal on a team that isn't overly gifted in the offence department is quite spectacular in my mind. I'm just so impressed how he plays in all aspects of the game. He's so smart. Lost in last night's win was his Slick Nick behind the back pass to LH who set up Wool for that wicked one-timer. As much as LH deserves the Calder, Suzuki deserves to be in the Selke conversation. Not saying he should or would win (I expect that to be Barkov), but he's top 3...top 5 at worst.

From albertakitkat (on Bluesky):
ReplyDelete“I was watching MASH….Pierre Poilievre is Frank Burns. Completely enamored of men with power, no empathy, dishonest, hypocritical, has a good job but totally sucks at it, judgemental, thinks he is ‘all that’.
Do you want Frank Burns to be our PM?”
I sez: yo, Ferret Face!
Pee Pee is Poo Poo. At least Burns was funny.
DeleteNature!
ReplyDeleteNature!
ReplyDeleteNature with a nice play by FastLane !
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling...
ReplyDeleteFeels like a night to fall out of the playoff race.
ReplyDeleteHope I'm wrong but these Blues are playing like a powerhouse team in playoff mode.
GYFHG!
Rangers are the only team that can pass them and the Kings have been playing very well.
DeleteSens are losing to Barfalo. If that doesn't change that is still just a 4 point gap.
Pretty sure they're not coming back from this 4-1 defect.
Well I left at 4-1 last game and good things happened, so I'm off to bed. I won't be mad if I miss a miraculous comeback.
ReplyDeleteHope Ghule is ready.
ReplyDeleteomg! i just got home from work looking forward to whiskeylung and hockeyjunkie. junkie didnt make a video, but from what i saw, im not surprised! holy crap, was that the worst game theyve played all yr? or or or...
ReplyDelete... was that finally enough proof that samuel sucks balls and should mediate between our designate #2?!
all the goals.... dammm i hate this kid.
montbobo played well, St Louis had a hard biscut. Good news, no one else moved, we are still in and still fighting Go yo fucking habs Go
ReplyDeleteWell was that an anomaly or the shades of things to come
ReplyDeleteWe were up we were focused so are we just a bad team that can punch above our weight class or did we just come out sleepy or do we just like the comeback challenge
Hard to figure but one things for sure we better start rotating goalies
Filthy is a must win
Go Habs
Pretty sure they're not coming back from this 4-1 defect.
ReplyDeleteI stand by this comment from last night.
I only watched the 2nd period. I thought about taking a few shots at Monty but decided to go the Walt Disney route : "If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all."
ReplyDeleteBy the accounts of the game I have read, the Habs started very slow and what I saw in the 2nd period is the defence backing in constantly and Monty getting screened. Every goal I saw was a 40-50 footer that he whiffed on or was deflected. I think the book on Monty is high glove side.
Anyway, if the Isles win tonight they move into the wildcard spot so this is what we can expect for the rest of the season. Rotating between disappointment and elation. Fun times.
Plus, the Blues are a damn good team from what I saw and are on a roll. Currently, they are the better team for sure so I wouldn't write too much into that loss. I think I actually predicted it.
DeleteI just don’t understand how our compete level fluctuates
ReplyDeleteOk some of us are young but we are 12 games from the playoffs
I think we should be just humming
And what we have are slow starts
I’m confused
Go Habs
Talent still makes a difference. Montreal still has only one really good line while the Blues had two.
DeleteSeems Monty is not built for leaning on. I'd start Doobie about every third game, or even more if he turns in a really good performance. Lots on the line so don't you usually go with the hot hand in these situations?
ReplyDeleteMonty is a mediocre goalie, 1B at best.
Deleteu mean 11B?
Delete(ill always stand by this comment)
Lane Hutson now has 54 points in 70 games.
ReplyDelete- Most points by a rookie defenseman among all active NHL D-men.
- Most points by a rookie defenseman since Nicklas Lidstrom in 1991-1992.
The sfu will fuck him over.
DeleteImagine next season when he's playing with a CHip on his shoulder.
DeleteGo Canucks! Don't F us again, this game is more important for you.
ReplyDeleteThe downturn in offensive production aside from the top line in general began when Heineken was hit by that car in Utah. Since then, that line specifically has been terrible offensively and average defensively where they were the clear top 4th line in the first half of the season.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they can get going.
Matheson was brutal last night. I hate that every time he sets up in the O zone and he gets the puck, his first option is always shoot (and usually into the shin pads of a defender) rather than pass to the wide open winger. Not to mention the giveaways.
But he won't sit when Ghoulie is back. So who? Savard should be the answer. Love the guy but is skating in quicksand these days.
Might be passive aggressive, but if I was a reporter with access to MSL I'd ask him if there is something concerning he's seen with the play of Dobes in practice to keep him from getting in the crease.
Math has been a negative part of the equation.
Delete~~~
hard disagree with mr qanon... maths isnt perfect, and in my books, he does somewhere above 51% of the things right.
Deletei say this b/c his gaveaways are quite high, but he is a high risk, high reward type of defenseman. no different than dish, no different than PFK. there is a price to pay for these rare guys and part of responsible asset management is to pair him with a heavy wet blanket like chariot, or vodkov.
if u wanna find a scapegoat for all the bad math, look to the numbers from our starting keeper.
MnM is an enigma for sure. Some nights he looks great others he looks like Von Klumsy part deux. Ideally he would be on the 2nd pairing maybe lower. He is a great skater and if he plays within himself he is OK. Friend oleg is right, he is a bit of a gambler like Dish, not quite as risky as PFK was though. Unfortunately he is needed at the moment like Montyohno! Bite on the stick and enjoy the ride.
DeleteThey won’t sit savvy or maths they’ll demote struble sadly he’s playing some good hockey
ReplyDeleteAgree with Heineken since utah that line
has cooled off unfortunately rolling four was important
Comon you frickin kanuckles
Let’s go
Go Habs
Thanks to oleg's Canucks for the W tonight.
ReplyDeletestop it. i hate that team and every jersey wearing poser in this shity.
Deletebeating the rags has no meaning for these dips cause they wouldnt know what 1994 means, nor will they notice its a revenge game either.
im an idiot. i thought they were playing the rangers tn.
Deletehttps://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/choose-canada.html
ReplyDeletei saw that website campaign on my YT commericals also! if its one thing i hate more than what i was talking about above its our tax dollars being wasted.
Deletewhy is "canada first" NOW? only b/c of the dummy down south, or some other strange coincidence. if u buy into this than youre an idiot also, cause it should have been this way, before, now and always. the fact that this advertising campaign has resonance proves how mismatched ppl's actions are with their mouths.
unjustly villified for he saying it, but the coach was right. "you people" who are championing this propaganda... where were you before this became vogue?
You need an elbow to the head.
DeleteIt works for me. Hardly a lot of tax dollars sunk into it.
DeleteWell, before the orange felon, backed by Russia and billionaires took over our neighbours to the south, we had a reasonable, friendly relationship. No system is perfect, but we had a trade agreement in place that the aforementioned FOTUS himself signed, which again while not perfect worked for industry and consumers. Could Canada have spent the last decades trying to be more self reliant? Perhaps. But it didn't NEED to because of a strong relationship with our neighbours. We have now learned that Canada NEEDS to work towards that goal while expanding its trade vision to other parts of the world. Hence the reason we are now seeing this uptick in patriotism. Just because we didn't do it before doesn't mean we shouldn't do it now. That's a terrible argument.
DeleteYour quoting of the xenophobic old crotch isn't scoring you any points. The fact is he was an intolerable, insufferable douchebag for decades and the only injustice is that he lasted as long as he did. He was a great fan of the white, English speaking hockey players. Period. And he sure loved to show his love for the Canadian military. But my father, a white, English speaking WW2 vet who lost friends while they stormed Juno beach on D-Day couldn't stand to listen to him almost from the first time he appeared on HNIC. And that was enough for me. And always will be.
Agree 100%

Uh oh. The pHuckers have fired Torts. Look for the dead cat bounce tonight. Eep.
ReplyDeleteEvery night I watch the CBC news, read some clips on the internet and I shake my head in disbelief at what I am witnessing in the U.S. The complete and utter destruction of a democratic, rule of law country, by a raving lunatic convict and a gang of utter nincompoops who are acting like Nazi Germany, North Korea and the KGB ruled USSR. Arresting people for writing op-eds or posting comments on-line. Attacking their neighbouring country by tearing up a legal document that the convict himself negotiated and signed. It's like I've fallen into a parallel universe like Kirk and the gang on Star Trek TOS. Sheer Insanity. Like Doug Ford said last night, we have no choice now but to fight like hell and punch back hard. And, I wouldn't let the traitress Smith back in the country. She can stay in Florida and kiss the orange arse all she wants.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the World Cup of soccer and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

DeleteDon’t understand her thinking if she is doing any
She is clearly a little trumpette and doesn’t see that her oil can be sold anywhere

Time for Mr Mark to put some screws to her
Anyway
On to philthy and victory to our Glorious Habs
Go Canada
Fuck murica and it’s toothless uneducated inbred muthrfuckers

Yep, the first game after a coach firing is always dangerous. Good thing for me it's poker night, so I won't be watching. But during those usual long stretches where I get shit cards, I'll keep an eye on the scoreboard to see how the Habs and the other playoff wannabees are doing.

ReplyDeleteOuf.
ReplyDeleteWant to but can’t blame Dobes.
ReplyDeleteI don't like what I've seen tonight or the last 5 games for that matter. Digging holes early. If they keep this up they can forget about playoffs. I think it's safe to say they are in a slump.
ReplyDeletePlayoffs!? Playoffs?!!
DeleteCould not hit the broad side of a barn. I'm out.

ReplyDeleteFuck off refs! That was BLATANT goalie interference
ReplyDeleteShe’s wrote.
ReplyDeleteShitty game.
Fuck you refs.
Devo!
ReplyDeleteWooly Bully!
ReplyDeleteWell I broke even. First time for that. It was worth it to miss the fiasco on the ice. It's like none of the teams in the race want that last spot. The Caps will have a cakewalk over whichever team it is.
ReplyDeleteInstill hope the Habs wake up and make a run at it . Even if they bow out in 4 straight it would mean they're heading in the right direction. Hugo must be looking at the ups and downs of this team and be pulling his hair out (figuratively of course).
That was painful.
ReplyDelete~~~
Be prepared for more pain tonight.
ReplyDeleteI try to stay positive about the guys on the team. Shitting on players isn't productive. But I've had concerns about the goaltending for awhile. I posted this at the end of last season.
ReplyDeleteAnd is our goaltending good enough? Primo/Monty were 41st/50th in GAA and 20th/38th in Save%.
Monty has his moments but is Primo the guy until Fowler is ready?
What about giving up on them and taking a shot at Laurent Brossoit? Sounds like he's from QC but isn't (he's from BC). 31 years old. Great numbers last year with a 2.00 GAA and .927 Save% with WPG.
Or big Anthony Stolarz with FLA. 2.02 and .925
Both of them gave up nearly one goal less per game than our guys. REalizing some of that is on the D, but not all. For a while, each of our guys it seemed were good for one stinker per game. It's like my golf game, gotta get rid of those from your game to move on up.
Doobie was a great story with his hot start. But he's cooled off.
And I try my best to give Monty the benefit of the doubt, but he does't make it easy. So aside from the 2nd goalie name changing, this concern still stands (except maybe the stinker per game ratio is more like 1.5 per game now).
I think we're 2 seasons from Fowler. I assume he'll do a year in Laval. So does this team run with the Mount Dubious duo next year? Does a healthy Guhlie and more offence make up for the oft average at best goaltending?
Oh well let's see how this season runs out and go from there. Despite the challenges on the back end, I still have hope in watching playoff hockey.
Both goaltenders are questionable. Montembohno runs hot an cold but has obvious weaknesses, shots from distance and glove side. Doobie is still young and learning.
DeleteThe defence has issues, Matheson's gaffes, Savard lack of foot speed, AX still taking penalties at inopportune times. The other 3 are fine.
The 1st line, Nick is the only constant.
2nd line a mishmash, Wool can be an anchor.
3rd line fairly consistent.
4th line lost their mojo can't seem to get it back.
For some reason they can't start a game properly, maybe they should just try to play to a draw at the start until they get their act together.
Not holding my breath for a playoff spot, they have accomplished their stated goal of being 'in da mix', at this time (late March) they are playing with house money.
I miss our Apple goalie.
ReplyDeleteShould've kept him.

ReplyDeleteGYFHG
So 4 shots a period is not a recipe for making the playoffs boys...not even fucking close
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on so far?
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the Moncton Wildcats - Quebec Remparts playoffs Game 1. Heading to OT.
Just tuned in. 6 shots through the first 33 minutes?
ReplyDeleteCanes in full-on playoff mode, must be coked up.
DeleteHabs look cooked.
ReplyDeleteWell you gotta let me know....
DeleteShould I be cooked or should I be coked?
If I'm cooked there could be trouble
DeleteBut if I'm coked there could be double
So this is going to shit in a hurry...men vs. boys ...and the boys ain't even touching the puck...
ReplyDeleteThis is too hard to eatch.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching Vancouver at Columbus instead.
3 shots on goal...there is no excuse for that level of fucking uselessness at this point in the season. In the mix my ass.
ReplyDeleteMoncton wins Game 1 in OT. Switching to the Laval - Marlies game, Laval up 3-0 heading to the 3rd.
ReplyDeleteNo stress watching these games...
DeleteCanucks with chances to bury them, but BJs keep fighting back.
ReplyDeleteHey congrsts to Sid killing another Retchky record with his 20th consecutive point-per-game season. Suck it, Wayne, you MAGA-Mapler!
ReplyDeleteWildcats win. Rocket win 4-1. Primeau gets the W. I feel good.
ReplyDeleteFucking Canucks have blown a 3 goal lead and then led 5-3. Gave up 3 to go down 6-5 and scored right away to tie it at 6.
ReplyDeleteCrazy fucking game.
Helluva lot more entertaining.
Also, Go Ducks!
ReplyDeleteThat might be asking a lot?
There is no glass half full, its a full glass no matter what the outcome. We make the playoff bonus, we almost make the playoffs, lessons learned and a great draft pick. In fact missing the playoffs may have more value. With two middle first rounders we can put together a package for SId.
ReplyDeleteBrian Wilde is pumping Sid's tires pretty hard to come to the Habs. He makes the point that unless Sid has a no trade clause it's Dumbass who gets to decide if there is a trade or not. And I don't know why Boy Wonder wouldn't try to see what he would get to jumpstart a rebuild. I'm pretty sure the fanbase in Pitt wouldn't mind seeing their team get younger and better and Kent has a boatload of capital to offer.
ReplyDeleteUnless they turn things around very quickly I think the playoff dream is over. Caleb Desnoyer would be a nice consolation prize.
Beck, Mailloux and two 1st round picks should do it. Throw in Robidas.
Delete~~~
I think it takes the 2 firsts, Mailloux and a roster player. Dach is too risky so the Pens say no. I say they want Slaf in return. That would be a decision for Hughes to make.
DeleteI doubt they want CR (Claude Raines), Dubas would want Demigod which is a no go. I think the only way this goes down is if Sid tells Dubas I will only go to Montreal. So, they want a center back, picks and A list prospect. Here's my offer: 1st round 2025, 2nd round 2025, 3rd round 2025, Dach or Hook, WaWa. Take it or leave it.
DeleteI won’t lose sleep if the Habs barely make the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteI’d love to see this team currently assembled together make it.
The camaraderie and family aspect seems a part of them.
Should they make it, it will fuck over the sfu and leafool empty headed minds.
~~~
After tomorrow, it's not a very brutal schedule. Mostly teams out of the playoffs.
DeleteWhile the old predictor ain't looking so good this week, winning 7 of those 9 in April is looking more like a must now than a luxury.
DeleteI'm watching playoff hockey today. Demidov moved from 13th forward in game 1 to the first line today. That 'coach' is insane.
ReplyDeleteDemi with the goal today. Currently in OT.
Philthy crushes Barfalo ... more dead cat bounce coach...

This was after a fight on the ice in the 3rd period between the Miramichi Northmen and the Elsipogtog Hawks in the Beausejour Senior Hockey League. I wish I could post a link but you can probably find it on Facebook. Just another Friday night on the Miramichi eh Saint Paddy?

Hey the M, I hadn't heard about that fight. But I can tell you when I was in high school there wasn't a game between the two high schools from either side of the river that didn't end in fights in the stands and/or outside after the game.

I read it in le Devoir. Thanks for sharing. I think he's right. There is no stomach for negative ads right now in most of the electorate. I might even slow down with the Ferret Face tagging on Poilievre (although he really does embody the full Major Frank Burns ethos rather well).
DeleteI've always thought with politicians it's all about power. They are mostly in the game for their own benefit, whether they want a high paying job or a chance to set themselves up down the road for a better paying job. I highly doubt they really care about you or me.
DeleteI may be a romantic, but I can make a case that liberals are for country and cons are for confidence men. Lets start with PET vs Lyn Brian. Pet had a vision for the country Lyn had a vison of America. Jean Chretien was just happy to keep the ship sailing with the sails trimmed. Justin propably drank too much koolaid but he was all about letting people live without prejudice. PP is about making Canada a 51st state, if not in legistation, in action.
DeleteI might be wrong, but I would bet EVERY government of the past 50 years or more wanted close ties with the U.S. financially. And why not, over 300 million customers to sell stuff to. Then, along comes a raving lunatic and a bunch of oligarchs who want ... everything. We have to basically start over on the trade front and hope we can find some new customers who don't want to fuck us over. Gonna be a long haul.

DeleteThx for the heads up.

I am all in for Wool in the 8 for 6 or less for 8. He is one dimensional but was not always so, I think he will improve. Same goes for Devo.( 180 turn on Devo, but hey he is good in the room, and underated on the ice ) Pencil him in for the 3 rd line and trade for a real 2 nd. I dont think we can afford Bennet and why would he leave Florida? I think we have to focus on Sids mother. Its to bad we did not push for Dylan Hollaway. When St lou offered 2.5 we should have gone for 3.5.
ReplyDeleteNo points for Isles tonight. Good good.
ReplyDelete17 games since the break. While my game predictions were off a tad (why I don't often bet on sports), I had predicted a record of 8-5-4 for 20 points. They had a record of 9-4-4 for 22 points.
ReplyDeleteInitial projection was finishing with 89 points. New projection is 91 points. This is assuming the predicted 7-2 record in April.
87 points 'might' be enough to get the spot, but I would feel better about hitting 90 so a record of 6-2-1 would be good.
Good job on the projections, 90 points would probably do it. It seems one of the 5 teams will back their way into a wild card spot.
DeleteOne of the francophone reporters was doing a similar projection and he pointed out that Minnesota got in one year with 87 and of course there was 2010 when chokula's Habs got in with 88 and proceeded to knock off Sid's Pens and Ovi's Caps with Jaro Halak playing out of his mind. Good memories from that run until they got Michael Leighton(ed), he shut them out 3 times in that conference final series.
Correction, that was Carey Price in goal that season.
DeleteOK, my memories are mixed up, it was Jaro who led that charge to the conference finals. That was when the debate was who was better TFS or Jaro. Gauthier traded Jaro for Lego after that run.
DeleteAs exciting as it's been riding in the Fast Lane with Hutson, I think what Captain Suzuki is doing is equally as impressive and important. In the past 30 years, the Habs have had one (1) player reach a ppg pace AND hit the top 20 in scoring. Alex Kovalev in 07/08 with 84 pts in 82 games. That's it. Turgeon and Damphousee did it in 94/95. For this young captain to be heading towards that goal on a team that isn't overly gifted in the offence department is quite spectacular in my mind. I'm just so impressed how he plays in all aspects of the game. He's so smart. Lost in last night's win was his Slick Nick behind the back pass to LH who set up Wool for that wicked one-timer.
ReplyDeleteAs much as LH deserves the Calder, Suzuki deserves to be in the Selke conversation. Not saying he should or would win (I expect that to be Barkov), but he's top 3...top 5 at worst.
Nature deserves more Selke votes than what the sfu doled out to Narcos and Mitchy.
