Here come the seventies ... er two thousand and twenties, doesn't have the same ring but the derriers are just as good. So the snores took one last nite, " It was 3 to 1 " revisited. Nice So saddle up reload focus and get it done. Tie this thing up. Lets go! Go Habs
One of the writers at La Presse called Josh Anderson's game Friday night 'Bob Gainey worthy'. He wasn't wrong. Even mentioned Mike McPhee in the 80s. Yes to that as well. You need those guys in the playoffs. Andy has raised Devo and Gally's game as well.
Yes to changing the playoff MVP trophy from the despicable bully Conn Smythe to the Jean Beliveau trophy.
NHL playoff schedule maker is f'd. WPG playing STL at noon local time. Weird. Must be accommodating American broadcasters, because we know the Canadian broadcaster only cares about one team.
i got nothing really against the jets, but i kinda want the city of St.Louis to win just cause it would make a funny meme if our coach was to square off vs them.
actually.... i do have a lot to bitch about those jets 1. still mad at that pos for what he did to 7evans 2. im really glad these guys are finally taking the lustre off that overrated fat blob goaltender. hes nothing athletic, nothing intelligent with the puck, nothing except big and he lets the puck hit him. im sick of all these comparisons that he is veznia + hart worthy. for me... its still theodore and TFS. both had line-ups far worse. he is just a good shot blocker, thats it.
3 hrs out and im starting to have that feeling again boys. somebody say something to calm me down please. im hoping for a 6-1 ash kicking to send a msg the boys wont be intimidated nor will they be outskilled.
i got called for work and i cant get out of it. should i just ignore my phone and talk to nobody at all? or should i sneak a peek whenever i get the chance? im losing my mind right now. i really really dont wannt watch an online stream only to find out they got screwed over and are now 1-3. advice on what a good fan is supposed to do?
Could go either way tonight ... should be close ... advantage Habs if Lindgren is in net. If Montreal's 1st line dominates again they should win. Just remember, they are not supposed to even be here, they are playing with house money. All that being said I hope the boys tie the series up tonight. G Y F H G ! !
So it seems Thompson is suddenly ship-shape and ready to start tonight's game - either that or he's got a secret Thompson twin. Regardless, no worries, our guys were able to put five behind him on Friday. Doobie Bro. Starting tonight. Better tunes anyway.
St Paddysaid we were stocked. Maybe I speeled in wrong but it means we are at high level, ready to howel and girate at any moment. The word from Paul McArtn, so dojt jus say steve said, like jane said and lots of people said. TH word is CHUFFFED. IO CHUFED
I'm trying to not get ahead of myself by worrying that I'll be five or six time zones ahead for the entire 2nd round. This is why one should never vacation from mid April to the end of June. Just in case. Might be my first and last time.
I'm disappointed but not too upset about last night's result. As CHester said the Habs were not supposed to be in the playoffs. They are about 2 years ahead of schedule for that. Public Enemy #1 changed the course of the game last night. If Montreal wants to stay alive they have to return fire and play like they did Friday. They were too tentative last night, need to fire away at logan the faker.
Fining the players and the Habs. Yeah, that'll fix things. Molson should call bettman and Daly and they'll them they need a cross-check to the face. ~moe
either you or somebody else has said this before. can the owner actually call the head office and bitch at them? in situations like this, its pretty important to call out unfair play eh? (im specifically talking about the two cross checks to the face)
caught up on highlites. full match replays harder to find at 2430.
from what i saw, the boys played a perfect road game. were even winning 2-1 entering the final :20! i thought we already did this! i thought all of us collectively lambasted MSL to fix this crap before the playoffs started! like chocula always did, lower the shell, right? for a team like ours which allegedly doesnt score much, this has got to be a top priority, no?!
looked like they played really well overall last night. brought the physicality and matched them (more or so) in chances? failing like that to hold it for another :20 isnt good enough, especially vs the top seed. that last goal with only 3:00 left, i dont blame anybody for. a bad goal every 4 games is ok with me. just bad timing cause it didnt leave em much time to equalise.
out here on the west coast, we got 4:15 until voting stations close. vegas is already projecting a Lib Majority.
personally, i would have liked to see PP given a chance, but if they are destined to fail, they only have themselves to blame b/c they just couldnt sit still and bide their time. if they just STFU and did nothing, justin might have run again and, it would have been the most historic rout ever.
now... theyve stolen certain victory from themselves and will lose to mr carney and these reborn liberals. not sure how u guys feel, but go out and vote if you still have time. in the end, you can just go out and participate and actually do nothing cause in the end, i usually pussy out and just cast a sympathy vote for the the communists, the christian heritage guy, the marxist, the green guy, the local weirdo.
another reason why im a little bummed is b/c i think the conservatives will turf PP. he sounds like a straight shooter but realistically, has a shelf life than shorter than mr carney but longer than ms. lettuce head
Do not punish the players punish the game. Its allededly totally obvious that Buttman wants no Canadian teams in the playoffsl or to have playoff success. See the rules for wrestlting
A hockey analogy. Carney may continue a Liberal dynasty, much like the Canadiens of the 70s. Great defense, going with balanced offense and stellar goaltending (Carney was a goalie).

I won't vote Liberal for various reasons I won't go into. The Conservatives are their own worst enemy, their last three leaders were unlikeable so I couldn't vote for any of them. The current iteration of the party is basically the western reform party who are too closely aligned with the MAGA cult for my tastes. My hope is someday that a Progressive Conservative party will return federally, hopefully led by Nova Scotian premier Tim Houston, who seems to have a heart. I don't belong to any political party I just vote for whoever I think will make my life better and so far I haven't had any indication that either of the main parties are interested in what happens to me. I'm just a nobody from the Maritimes and once the election is over nobody gives a rat's ass about us.
I don't know if it was here or elsewhere somebody said the best thing for the Cons if they can't win a majority is to lose to a majority. That just might start a civil war in the party and separate those damn reformers from the traditional progressives.
I have mixed reviews on Houston, but I would be concerned about him having a national majority concerning some of the laws he's pushed through so far. To his credit, he did back down on a big one due to public pressure though.
So the two good things that came out of last nite was a wake the fuck up and crush somebody or be crushed the other good thing was Doobie calling out the zebras he couldnt stay quiet and he hoped those two will not ref the next game good boy say something ffs go Habs
dont know the guy beyond what i read about him. what u guys said about him is basically how everybody else sees him i think. with all rising stars, i hope nothing from his past gets brought up trying to keep him down
Just like the Habs, the Liberals were dead in the water in early December. And by making a significant change or two, they pulled off a miracle...maybe not a 'complete' miracle, looking very much like another minority government, but a miracle nonetheless. But if the Habs are to keep following the same trend, there could be a comeback in this series and a trip through the Eastern Conference to come up just short in the final. They made their significant changes by trading for RoCH, getting Wool back to boost the PP when it was fizzling, and getting ID before the playoffs. Considering where they were 4 months ago, maybe just making the playoffs puts them in 'minority government' territory, but getting at least to the ECF pushes them closer to the number where they are ending up just a few seats short of that majority.
No problem. I don't get too wound up about politics, it's just a personal preference. I will point out I am not a social conservative but a fiscal one. I watch our finances carefully and I drive sales people crazy because I don't make snap decisions on big purchases. I think about it for quite a while before I pull the trigger. As far as the Liberal win last night, meh, doesn't bother me, Mark Carney is just another politician who promises lots but once they get in power they will find lots of excuses to not do what they said they would do. They're all the same, red, blue, orange whatever.
As far as the Habs, well I certainly hope you are right but they will need to change tactics if they want to advance. Here's my thought ... I was going to suggest going after wilson but I think the smarter move is to go after their smaller guys. ovechicken and wilson have targeted smaller players like Carrier, Hutson, Caufield and Evans. I would target Sandin, Duhaime, Strome and it should be headshots. Cross checks to the face, give them the same treatment. Take the penalties. So what if you lose, take as many of them out as you can. The league loves that shit obviously as they condone it. Elbows Up !
I sadly believe you are right on what the Habs would need to do to take G5, the M.
As for Carney, events (and the need to work with the Bloc) may get in the way of some of his plans, but we've all seen what he can do and I have faith he will be a very good PM for the whole country. With Singh gone nd no party status in the HoC for the NDP, one wonders if he might court those 7 or so MPs to switch or form a coalition. In any event, it's a bullet dodged and a good result for the country.
1. i just saw what mcmichael tried on cole. g-dammit, how come the highelites from SN and nhl.com edited it out?!? g-dammit #2, just like what happened on roch, a zero response from the guys on the ice. BOTH times, a team destined for the later rounds would have guys who instinctively would have gooned those guys.
2. somebody pls fact check this for me:
https://www.facebook.com/100053157770215/posts/pfbid02YkcjJwjY7jZkzmVMtnxApqF5XLeQNYFxKk3pNYAVACiqBMUEXpAYUV6XSy3gDFvWl/?app=fbl somebody posted in comments that somebody on the habs paid the security at gm2 to let them in to examine LA sticks before the match. T/F!?!?
And I agree with moe's targets, McMikel and Douchaime. But I'd still like to see somebody take a run at L'il Putin more than Wilson. That run he took at Carriere was more of a charge than Wilson's...RoCH was just fortunate enough to duck out of the way. I get he's a big, solid guy but he generally isn't moving that fast that he can't be hit and hit hard.
Oh yeah, Anderson or AX should take a run at the Russian chicken if the opportunity presents itself, he doesn't hesitate to charge (Carrier and CC) or blindside (7Evans) a smaller player. He's a gutless puke. I got no sympathy for Sandin or Strome, if the Craps go after Hutson and Gallagher, no mercy.
Sounds like Monty is done. The Habs seem to get bad luck with goalies in the playoffs. Shades of Carey Price in 2014 when he got 'crydered'. Not looking good unless Doobie can pull a Ken Dryden miracle out of his hat.
im reeeeeealy sorry to team monty, but THIS is exactly what i wanted. i trust/want doobie more and if i have to go all in, ide do it with this guy > sam.
ide like to apologise however, b/c if it wasnt for sam these first three matches, this would be a 1-3 or 'gasp' even a 0-4 series!
Who will the habs give the Rose too. Maybe if we make it and event, some young stud will want our rose? I am sorry to say, size matters, we need a big strong man at center. We have lots of smaller smart guys. PLD IMHO was a dumpster fire we doged. Could MSL transform Pederson, draw him a map to the weight room? In my life no reclaim project has worked, and I have the half price t shirts to prove it.
I believe her first movie was the Rocketer. You only get one first impression and she took it to the moon. Snow Piercer is good. The Mission Impossilbe she had way to much CGI applied.
I'll bet there's some tight sphincters in hogtown this morning. Lots of fighting on the bench last night between mitchie and narcos ... love to see it.
So I have been gleefully trolling the leaf media following the shut out by the snores. OMG are their buttholes squeezed shut. This is hilarious. They are slinking into a freaking out barn in Ottawa on Thursday with the core four an absolute smelly pile of poop. Even on the toronto sports network, the O-Dog, greatest spunk trumpet of the leaf, had to admit that the boys are just not doing it .... again. Another leaf mouthpiece noted the fact that Captain Underpants, greatest goal scorer in the NHL has scored fully 2 goals in 15 playoff games .... pause for effect ..... 2 goals. There's your captain there's your leader. Oh boy. I just might watch this one tomorrow. In the meantime back in warshinton The Glorious Habs have their bums against the proverbial wall. So time to focus and move past THE HIT. Time to stay the course, believe in yourself, each other and the system. Play smart don't overextend. We can roll with these guys and if we lose then we lose. But you can be sure if we go down we will be back. Cause this team is just starting to find itself and best part is that Hugo hasn't finished tweaking yet. Onward to victory! Go Habs
about that HIT.... this is the one on roCH, right? im reading and seeing clips on YT that wilson gave a heads-up shout before impact. i cant find audio, but theres a few videos saying this was the case. credit to him if he did, but im not certain this is what happened.
another point ill make about this is that it was clean. im not gonna argue it, however ill question something else. in the old days when helmets werent required... nobody would be aiming to take an opponents head off. there was a level of respect in the game which does not exist in the nhl today (nor in any professional sport).
so while i wont condem what he did, i do question the necessity of sending somebody to the hospital with a concussion.
overall... im quite proud of the way the boys played the first 4. im somewhat upset however by the lack of response to each cheapshot. heres an example:
on the hit to roCH, somebody was in the box perfectly situated to view the entire thing. first thing im doing as soon as im out is to go hunting for that pos, but obviously there was no chance as a goal was scored right away. still... on my next shift, ill know what needs to be done and sadly, nobody did. best we got was powerhorse politiely asking instead of just doing.
this kind of missing chelios, knuckles, mcphee, skrudland, corson, muller, gilmour, lapierre... even lemieux is really showing. even powerhorse i dont feel is nasty enough, nor is it fair for him to be the only one. really strange wifi is being handcuffed.
how is roCH btw? is he ok? are there amazingly no effects from that hit? and monty?
As CHester said -- do or die tonight and regardless of what happens we can be very proud of what this very young team has accomplished. For sure they are behind the 8 ball tonight, possibly missing one of their best D-men and starting a rookie goalie. And, they have been illegally run the whole series by head hunters with the refs just looking on. To which I say : DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS!
One thing I would like to point out, Montreal have lost the 3 games by basically one goal each time (3 empty net goals) whereas The Craps got smoked in their one loss. The young Habs can stay with these goons for the most part they just need to minimize mistakes.
Another after work 9 holes in the books. What a beauty of a day...but I wasn't swinging the clubs as well as the first time out. I think it's one of my playing partners, he just sends bad mojo vibes my way.
OMG the overdrive guys are sounding so dejected. What a beautiful sight and sound. As much as I'm not a fan of the MAGA orc, Sens gotta be thinking this: https://youtu.be/lco9Ki-5qfQ?si=nNnfAvKmgeUWwsuj
As M has said its all house money. We should not be here, we dont know which fork to use for salad and we cant find the washroom without a map. Go Habs Go. This team has done the Habs well
Ok I'm not a superstitious guy or a collector. But I watch my sports on a projector screen and I have a handful of cards given to me by a Bruins fan pal of mine which I've tucked into the bottom of the screen. So while watching the game, I'll be staring at Lafleur, Shutt, Béliveau, Naslund, Gumper, Cournoyer, S Savard, Robinson, Lapointe and Markov.
take out savard and give the extra minutes (screenspace) to big bird.
problem: the whitecraps are killing it and doing super well this yr. into leg2 of concacaf champions league up 2-0 on aggregate, vs messi's miami team also!
barkeep is a huge habs fan himself, but even he admits the place will be overrun by the locals who just picked up their kits from their amazon delivery lockers. hes gonna save two screens to show the habs, but he expects these entitled bandwagoners to demand all screens.
should i sit still and watch with sound off, or scramble somewhere else? the boys are 1-2 when im here
That's funny, I sent some pictures to moe before game 4 of the cards I have under my TV at the moment ... Autographed cards of Beliveau, Lafleur, Cournoyer, Roy plus Dryden, Saku and a little statue of Carey Price.
And Thompson is the better goalie. No shame in losing to this bunch of goons. It is what it is. But hey, we got to watch hockey until April 30th ! Better days ahead.
Good points, the M. It's looking like men against boys tonight. They'd need a greasy one and a prayer that the opponent takes their foot off the gas. But I think they're too well coached for a third period collapse like that.
having said that... theres still 0:20 left and thats losta time for some genuine tom(wilson)foolerly. if u gonna take us out, theres gonns be a price to pay for that! f-u nhl refs. go on boys. no shame in doing everything u can/ should have all along!
Gotta love the effort this bunch has put in all year. Right up to the end, they were pulling me out of my seat (which is the minimal organizational standard for any team with this many nicknames, so... about time)!
This Caps team is the real deal and nos glorieux made them earn this. Heads high, les boys, heads high.
Merci and many thanks to Jeff Gorton, Kent Hughes, Marty St. Louis et al, for giving Habs fans hope for the future. So many young stars and stars to be for this franchise going forward. I figure they are 2 more seasons from being truly competitive. Let's enjoy the ride. Kent Hughes will get them there.
Size matters in the playoffs. The Habs had that in 2021, albeit mostly all on the blueline. ID needs a big skilled C and a big skilled W to play with. Interesting to see what happens in the off season. Just over 5 months til puck drop.
Still dangerous right up to the end - giving a healthy top-seaded Caps team everything they could handle, despite two of out top 6 out with injury, as well as our #1 goalie.
Thank you moeman and Saint Pad for another fun-filled (and snark-filled) season of fabulous GYFGHness. This space is a great comfort in crazy times, and we have you two to thank for it.
If Laine is fully healthy and can get his head screwed on straight, a line of Laine-Crosby-Demidov looks pretty nice. Sid would surely have to at least think really hard about that as an option.
Actually I'm pretty sure Wool isn't gonna be the guy, as much as I'd like him to be, with his size and scoring ability. Hope I'm wrong because 'on paper' he's the perfect fit. A young colleague went to school and played minor hockey with a former teammate of Laine's. He has stories of his time together with Wool in Winnipeg and when all the guys would go out, he would stay home and play video games. That's not THAT strange for a young man these days. Externally he appears to be a character, considering his fashion and dry wit, but he seems to be a very introverted, private person and I think the public pressure mounts on him. Good on him and his lady with their work in their mental health foundation. I hope that helps him as much as anybody else that may take advantage of it.
Lots of ups and downs but an enjoyable ride. There is so much potential with this young group and the off-season should be entertaining as well. Even coach eMTy thinks Sid should go to Montreal. As a fellow Nova Scotian I'll never stop hoping.
Thanks to Moe and Scott for keeping the most egimatic coverage of our beloved Habs relevant for another season. As we all recognize the status quo has been upended. No more misery. Our window has been cracked open. Looking around the league, so many teams in our positon are still banging their heads against the glass. We are on the cusp of greatness. I will miss Devo, the First Joel and others that will be sacrificed for the great good. The game of Friday night was the best experience as a Habs fan that I have had this decade, and I am excited at the prospect of it becoming routine.
I missed game 5 and it's sad the season has ended. Like many I am now optimistic that the future is bright. I am rethinking the PFL Nick until someone tells me Wool played most of the season on 1 leg.
Congrats to MSL on being nominated for the Jack Adams trophy. He deserves it but I doubt he'll win it...Too soon.
I dont have cable but I do have radio, and I just learned the Leaf have won the Stanley cup. Is this disinformation, should I change the station?

ReplyDeleteThe Conservatives are their own worst enemy, their last three leaders were unlikeable so I couldn't vote for any of them. The current iteration of the party is basically the western reform party who are too closely aligned with the MAGA cult for my tastes.
My hope is someday that a Progressive Conservative party will return federally, hopefully led by Nova Scotian premier Tim Houston, who seems to have a heart.
I don't belong to any political party I just vote for whoever I think will make my life better and so far I haven't had any indication that either of the main parties are interested in what happens to me. I'm just a nobody from the Maritimes and once the election is over nobody gives a rat's ass about us.
I don't know if it was here or elsewhere somebody said the best thing for the Cons if they can't win a majority is to lose to a majority. That just might start a civil war in the party and separate those damn reformers from the traditional progressives.
DeleteI have mixed reviews on Houston, but I would be concerned about him having a national majority concerning some of the laws he's pushed through so far. To his credit, he did back down on a big one due to public pressure though.
So the two good things that came out of last nite was a wake the fuck up and crush somebody or be crushed
Deletethe other good thing was Doobie calling out the zebras
he couldnt stay quiet and he hoped those two will not ref the next game
good boy say something ffs
go Habs
I will be in a few years but Wabanakwut "Wab" Kine is the future of Canada.
ReplyDelete~moe
Like that guy. Respect.
DeleteKinew
DeleteI hope so.
DeleteKinew has heart and charisma. Ferls like his star is still rising.
Deletedont know the guy beyond what i read about him. what u guys said about him is basically how everybody else sees him i think. with all rising stars, i hope nothing from his past gets brought up trying to keep him down
DeleteSorry for the Liberal analogy the M :-)
ReplyDeleteJust like the Habs, the Liberals were dead in the water in early December. And by making a significant change or two, they pulled off a miracle...maybe not a 'complete' miracle, looking very much like another minority government, but a miracle nonetheless.
But if the Habs are to keep following the same trend, there could be a comeback in this series and a trip through the Eastern Conference to come up just short in the final. They made their significant changes by trading for RoCH, getting Wool back to boost the PP when it was fizzling, and getting ID before the playoffs. Considering where they were 4 months ago, maybe just making the playoffs puts them in 'minority government' territory, but getting at least to the ECF pushes them closer to the number where they are ending up just a few seats short of that majority.
GOYOUMUTHAFUCKINGHABSGO!!!
No problem. I don't get too wound up about politics, it's just a personal preference.
DeleteI will point out I am not a social conservative but a fiscal one. I watch our finances carefully and I drive sales people crazy because I don't make snap decisions on big purchases. I think about it for quite a while before I pull the trigger.
As far as the Liberal win last night, meh, doesn't bother me, Mark Carney is just another politician who promises lots but once they get in power they will find lots of excuses to not do what they said they would do. They're all the same, red, blue, orange whatever.
As far as the Habs, well I certainly hope you are right but they will need to change tactics if they want to advance. Here's my thought ... I was going to suggest going after wilson but I think the smarter move is to go after their smaller guys. ovechicken and wilson have targeted smaller players like Carrier, Hutson, Caufield and Evans. I would target Sandin, Duhaime, Strome and it should be headshots. Cross checks to the face, give them the same treatment. Take the penalties. So what if you lose, take as many of them out as you can. The league loves that shit obviously as they condone it. Elbows Up !
DeleteI sadly believe you are right on what the Habs would need to do to take G5, the M.
DeleteAs for Carney, events (and the need to work with the Bloc) may get in the way of some of his plans, but we've all seen what he can do and I have faith he will be a very good PM for the whole country. With Singh gone nd no party status in the HoC for the NDP, one wonders if he might court those 7 or so MPs to switch or form a coalition. In any event, it's a bullet dodged and a good result for the country.
Sandin and Strome don't deserve a check to the head.
ReplyDeleteMy targets would be mcmichael and duhaime, two mouthy little fuckers.
~moe
1. i just saw what mcmichael tried on cole. g-dammit, how come the highelites from SN and nhl.com edited it out?!? g-dammit #2, just like what happened on roch, a zero response from the guys on the ice. BOTH times, a team destined for the later rounds would have guys who instinctively would have gooned those guys.
Delete2. somebody pls fact check this for me:
https://www.facebook.com/100053157770215/posts/pfbid02YkcjJwjY7jZkzmVMtnxApqF5XLeQNYFxKk3pNYAVACiqBMUEXpAYUV6XSy3gDFvWl/?app=fbl
somebody posted in comments that somebody on the habs paid the security at gm2 to let them in to examine LA sticks before the match. T/F!?!?
sandin and strome dont deserve cheap shots... but neither did gallagher, CC, 7evans, nor roCHe.
Deleteim with u M SiM: screw the high road. time to go underground!
I like your gameplan too M.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with moe's targets, McMikel and Douchaime. But I'd still like to see somebody take a run at L'il Putin more than Wilson. That run he took at Carriere was more of a charge than Wilson's...RoCH was just fortunate enough to duck out of the way. I get he's a big, solid guy but he generally isn't moving that fast that he can't be hit and hit hard.
Oh yeah, Anderson or AX should take a run at the Russian chicken if the opportunity presents itself, he doesn't hesitate to charge (Carrier and CC) or blindside (7Evans) a smaller player. He's a gutless puke.
DeleteI got no sympathy for Sandin or Strome, if the Craps go after Hutson and Gallagher, no mercy.
whats the word on monty?! is he ok, or not? if hes ok, do u slot him back in?!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Monty is done. The Habs seem to get bad luck with goalies in the playoffs. Shades of Carey Price in 2014 when he got 'crydered'. Not looking good unless Doobie can pull a Ken Dryden miracle out of his hat.
ReplyDeleteim reeeeeealy sorry to team monty, but THIS is exactly what i wanted. i trust/want doobie more and if i have to go all in, ide do it with this guy > sam.
Deleteide like to apologise however, b/c if it wasnt for sam these first three matches, this would be a 1-3 or 'gasp' even a 0-4 series!
The same people who think Buttman is doing a good job voted for PEE PEE. How could anyone vote for that motherfucker arrogant American asshole?
ReplyDeleteWho will the habs give the Rose too. Maybe if we make it and event, some young stud will want our rose? I am sorry to say, size matters, we need a big strong man at center. We have lots of smaller smart guys. PLD IMHO was a dumpster fire we doged. Could MSL transform Pederson, draw him a map to the weight room? In my life no reclaim project has worked, and I have the half price t shirts to prove it.
ReplyDeleteBwahaha! Turds with a shortie to take a 2 zip lead mid 3rd. SFU are clenching hard.
ReplyDeleteyahooooooo! the turds scored again! they gonna have gm6 in ottawa!! yeah, u MFers!
ReplyDelete(quietly scared for us tm... does this impair/impact us for gm5?)
One would think that the 'Battle of Ontario' would be a real bloodbath, but it's more like a bubblebath.
ReplyDeleteOn to game 6.
Ok Habs, follow suit.
The nickname for that arena should be The Morgue.
DeleteI think moe has already called it that several times. Deadest building in the league. Bunch of suits and entitled assholes.
DeleteIt's the pulse of toronto, the level of passion(less) of the sfu in cotu.
DeleteDeader than a door nail, whatever the fuck that means...
Go Habs
BTW is that a young Jennifer Connolly?
ReplyDeleteYep
DeleteI believe her first movie was the Rocketer. You only get one first impression and she took it to the moon. Snow Piercer is good. The Mission Impossilbe she had way to much CGI applied.
DeleteI'll bet there's some tight sphincters in hogtown this morning.
ReplyDeleteLots of fighting on the bench last night between mitchie and narcos ... love to see it.
So I have been gleefully trolling the leaf media following the shut out by the snores.
ReplyDeleteOMG are their buttholes squeezed shut. This is hilarious. They are slinking into a freaking out barn in Ottawa on Thursday with the core four an absolute smelly pile of poop. Even on the toronto sports network, the O-Dog, greatest spunk trumpet of the leaf, had to admit that the boys are just not doing it .... again. Another leaf mouthpiece noted the fact that Captain Underpants, greatest goal scorer in the NHL has scored fully 2 goals in 15 playoff games .... pause for effect ..... 2 goals. There's your captain there's your leader.
Oh boy. I just might watch this one tomorrow.
In the meantime back in warshinton The Glorious Habs have their bums against the proverbial wall.
So time to focus and move past THE HIT. Time to stay the course, believe in yourself, each other and the system. Play smart don't overextend. We can roll with these guys and if we lose then we lose. But you can be sure if we go down we will be back. Cause this team is just starting to find itself and best part is that Hugo hasn't finished tweaking yet.
Onward to victory!
Go Habs
about that HIT.... this is the one on roCH, right? im reading and seeing clips on YT that wilson gave a heads-up shout before impact. i cant find audio, but theres a few videos saying this was the case. credit to him if he did, but im not certain this is what happened.
Deleteanother point ill make about this is that it was clean. im not gonna argue it, however ill question something else. in the old days when helmets werent required... nobody would be aiming to take an opponents head off. there was a level of respect in the game which does not exist in the nhl today (nor in any professional sport).
so while i wont condem what he did, i do question the necessity of sending somebody to the hospital with a concussion.
overall... im quite proud of the way the boys played the first 4. im somewhat upset however by the lack of response to each cheapshot. heres an example:
ReplyDeleteon the hit to roCH, somebody was in the box perfectly situated to view the entire thing. first thing im doing as soon as im out is to go hunting for that pos, but obviously there was no chance as a goal was scored right away. still... on my next shift, ill know what needs to be done and sadly, nobody did. best we got was powerhorse politiely asking instead of just doing.
this kind of missing chelios, knuckles, mcphee, skrudland, corson, muller, gilmour, lapierre... even lemieux is really showing. even powerhorse i dont feel is nasty enough, nor is it fair for him to be the only one. really strange wifi is being handcuffed.
how is roCH btw? is he ok? are there amazingly no effects from that hit?
and monty?
RoCH is a game time decision, Monty is done -- supposedly two hamstring tears, that will time to heal.
DeleteAs CHester said -- do or die tonight and regardless of what happens we can be very proud of what this very young team has accomplished. For sure they are behind the 8 ball tonight, possibly missing one of their best D-men and starting a rookie goalie. And, they have been illegally run the whole series by head hunters with the refs just looking on. To which I say : DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I would like to point out, Montreal have lost the 3 games by basically one goal each time (3 empty net goals) whereas The Craps got smoked in their one loss. The young Habs can stay with these goons for the most part they just need to minimize mistakes.
GO HABS ! and keep your heads up !
Another after work 9 holes in the books. What a beauty of a day...but I wasn't swinging the clubs as well as the first time out. I think it's one of my playing partners, he just sends bad mojo vibes my way.
ReplyDeleteOMG the overdrive guys are sounding so dejected. What a beautiful sight and sound.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'm not a fan of the MAGA orc, Sens gotta be thinking this: https://youtu.be/lco9Ki-5qfQ?si=nNnfAvKmgeUWwsuj
As M has said its all house money. We should not be here, we dont know which fork to use for salad and we cant find the washroom without a map. Go Habs Go. This team has done the Habs well
ReplyDeleteOk I'm not a superstitious guy or a collector. But I watch my sports on a projector screen and I have a handful of cards given to me by a Bruins fan pal of mine which I've tucked into the bottom of the screen.
ReplyDeleteSo while watching the game, I'll be staring at Lafleur, Shutt, Béliveau, Naslund, Gumper, Cournoyer, S Savard, Robinson, Lapointe and Markov.
Now GYMFHG! LFG!
take out savard and give the extra minutes (screenspace) to big bird.
Deleteproblem: the whitecraps are killing it and doing super well this yr. into leg2 of concacaf champions league up 2-0 on aggregate, vs messi's miami team also!
barkeep is a huge habs fan himself, but even he admits the place will be overrun by the locals who just picked up their kits from their amazon delivery lockers. hes gonna save two screens to show the habs, but he expects these entitled bandwagoners to demand all screens.
should i sit still and watch with sound off, or scramble somewhere else? the boys are 1-2 when im here
That's funny, I sent some pictures to moe before game 4 of the cards I have under my TV at the moment ... Autographed cards of Beliveau, Lafleur, Cournoyer, Roy plus Dryden, Saku and a little statue of Carey Price.
DeleteMoving to my friends house to watCH. There is a new Kodi addon called the loop and its better than Fruit Loops when you where 5.

ReplyDeleteF right off. Slashing, my ass.
ReplyDeletePretty sloppy play...
ReplyDeleteID!!!!
ReplyDelete(I'm just trying to speak it into existence)
I'm thinking Kapanen actually
DeleteI gotta say, the Capitals are really defending well. But proving this is a bully's league that evidently prefers being compared to UFC rather than NBA
ReplyDeleteThe Crapitals are a big, grinding team, they are locking this sucker down.
ReplyDeleteNot meant to be tonight FHFriends.
And Thompson is the better goalie.
DeleteNo shame in losing to this bunch of goons. It is what it is.
But hey, we got to watch hockey until April 30th ! Better days ahead.
Good points, the M. It's looking like men against boys tonight. They'd need a greasy one and a prayer that the opponent takes their foot off the gas. But I think they're too well coached for a third period collapse like that.
DeleteIt's just so fucked up the shit they call a penalty compared to the shit they don't.
ReplyDeleteTo the thug goes the spoils.
Deletefml.... i hate it when u, the M, SiM and CHester are right
Deletesorry. i meant u, St.P
DeleteSullying the Bobby Orr goal celebration classic with bozo Leonard's dive is peak MacLame.
ReplyDeleteHe’s a weird prick.
Deletehaving said that... theres still 0:20 left and thats losta time for some genuine tom(wilson)foolerly. if u gonna take us out, theres gonns be a price to pay for that! f-u nhl refs. go on boys. no shame in doing everything u can/ should have all along!
ReplyDeleteExtremely proud of our team.
ReplyDeleteExceeded expectations by a long shot.
Future is bright.

Go Rockets !
ReplyDeletewilson is a little bitch cry baby
ReplyDeleteHeineman !
ReplyDeleteNot skunked at least.
ReplyDeleteHeiney! Off the schneidi! Tge Utah jinx is broken.
ReplyDeleteScandinavian line...
ReplyDeleteCaps are a classless, arrogant team.
ReplyDeleteFuck off wilson
ReplyDeletefcuk i hate these refs.
ReplyDeletezero penalties after 2nd period?!
Dirt bag team.
ReplyDeleteWell Mr Hughes, it is up to you to get the pieces this team needs to get to the next level. And I have faith.
ReplyDeleteMerci David Savard. Geoff, get that man a golden icebag.
ReplyDeleteThompson beat them.
ReplyDeleteHeroic. He sure had Nature's number.
DeleteGotta love the effort this bunch has put in all year. Right up to the end, they were pulling me out of my seat (which is the minimal organizational standard for any team with this many nicknames, so... about time)!
ReplyDeleteThis Caps team is the real deal and nos glorieux made them earn this. Heads high, les boys, heads high.
Merci and many thanks to Jeff Gorton, Kent Hughes, Marty St. Louis et al, for giving Habs fans hope for the future. So many young stars and stars to be for this franchise going forward. I figure they are 2 more seasons from being truly competitive. Let's enjoy the ride.
ReplyDeleteKent Hughes will get them there.
Size matters in the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteThe Habs had that in 2021, albeit mostly all on the blueline.
ID needs a big skilled C and a big skilled W to play with. Interesting to see what happens in the off season.
Just over 5 months til puck drop.
GYMFHughesG!
Laval Rocket won their first game tonight. They might be a fun team to follow.
ReplyDeleteI ❤️ Sidney Crosby. 😉
ReplyDelete~~~
He can't be happy they fired Sullivan. Think it over Sid.
DeleteHeader pic says it all.
ReplyDeleteHabs got no respect all season.
Not the refs.
Not the sfu.
Not the caps.
Fuck them all.
~~~
Fade to black
DeleteStill dangerous right up to the end - giving a healthy top-seaded Caps team everything they could handle, despite two of out top 6 out with injury, as well as our #1 goalie.
ReplyDeleteAh LUVS me Habs.
GYFBHG!!
Thank you moeman and Saint Pad for another fun-filled (and snark-filled) season of fabulous GYFGHness. This space is a great comfort in crazy times, and we have you two to thank for it.
ReplyDeleteIf Laine is fully healthy and can get his head screwed on straight, a line of Laine-Crosby-Demidov looks pretty nice. Sid would surely have to at least think really hard about that as an option.
ReplyDeleteActually I'm pretty sure Wool isn't gonna be the guy, as much as I'd like him to be, with his size and scoring ability. Hope I'm wrong because 'on paper' he's the perfect fit.
DeleteA young colleague went to school and played minor hockey with a former teammate of Laine's. He has stories of his time together with Wool in Winnipeg and when all the guys would go out, he would stay home and play video games. That's not THAT strange for a young man these days. Externally he appears to be a character, considering his fashion and dry wit, but he seems to be a very introverted, private person and I think the public pressure mounts on him. Good on him and his lady with their work in their mental health foundation. I hope that helps him as much as anybody else that may take advantage of it.
Great season.
ReplyDelete~moe
Lots of ups and downs but an enjoyable ride. There is so much potential with this young group and the off-season should be entertaining as well. Even coach eMTy thinks Sid should go to Montreal. As a fellow Nova Scotian I'll never stop hoping.
DeleteThere was some good news last night as the the Doucherov Dolts were eliminated.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Moe and Scott for keeping the most egimatic coverage of our beloved Habs relevant for another season.
ReplyDeleteAs we all recognize the status quo has been upended. No more misery. Our window has been cracked open. Looking around the league, so many teams in our positon are still banging their heads against the glass. We are on the cusp of greatness. I will miss Devo, the First Joel and others that will be sacrificed for the great good. The game of Friday night was the best experience as a Habs fan that I have had this decade, and I am excited at the prospect of it becoming routine.
I'm not so sure about Devo not being re-signed. Bargainbin said you can't have too many defencemen and you can't trade for centers. Wait, what?
DeleteGeez Patches wins it for the wretched leaf, took an ex-Hab to get them through a round...
ReplyDeleteI missed game 5 and it's sad the season has ended. Like many I am now optimistic that the future is bright. I am rethinking the PFL Nick until someone tells me Wool played most of the season on 1 leg.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to MSL on being nominated for the Jack Adams trophy. He deserves it but I doubt he'll win it...Too soon.
Broken finger ... I knew he was having trouble handling and shooting the puck.
DeleteI dont care about his finger, I care about his brain and his legs. I have not seen them in action
DeleteI dont have cable but I do have radio, and I just learned the Leaf have won the Stanley cup. Is this disinformation, should I change the station?
ReplyDeleteIf you are a typical human your musical taste is pretty much cemented about the time you stop trying to bend reality.
