    1. And just like that, they spend 5 minutes talking about Vanya and praised the Habs. And said more on the story later. WTF is going on?
      O'Neill of course added a bit of anti-Quebec slant by saying he's not sure what the history of Montreal is and why they like the European players like Laine, Kovalev and Kovalchuk so much.
      The other guys to their credit said the fans just want a superstar that can score goals.

  5. Wow, I'm just finding out about Demigod, who paid who to pull this off?
    It will be interesting to see where he slots in.
    I did see earlier that Hughes signed a couple of new players for the Rocket, one of them being 2024 5th round pick Tyler Thorpe 6'5" 215lbs from the Vancouver Giants (how appropriate). And a 25 year old college player from New Hampshire that Kent must know.
    So much positive news as the Habs prepare to return to glory while the shit stained broons sink in the standings and the over-rated leaf prepare for first round failure. Again.

    So much happy
    Overflowing happy let’s not win the cup tonight
    Let’s dispose of the dead things first then get half-a-dov in the building
    Then win the cup
    And I think we should have multiple parades
    We should have one down younge street for the SFU
    That would be thoughtful
    And one in Beantown just for the beaners
    That would be a nice thought
    Go half-a-dov

  28. This has been a roller coaster season. Before the season started I felt with the addition of a healthy Wool would give Montreal's defence a boost. Then he was taken out by the leaf nobody.
    The season started poorly and it looked like they were heading for another top 5 pick.
    Then at Christmas time they got hot and fought their way to a wild card spot.
    Then they burned themselves out on a long road trip and looked like they were headed to a top 10 pick.
    Then they had a break for the 4 Nations tournament and Captain Nick asked his GM to give this group a chance to go for the playoffs. It paid off.
    Now, they are almost assured a spot in the Dance. Demidov is coming and this team is on a roll. Washington should be worried and they better be ready.
    Like CHester said: Happy happy happy!!!

  35. I was reading through some of the earlier comments and saw Chester's parades idea.
    Not to get ahead of ourselves, but imagine they win the cup.
    I think a month(ish) long cross Canada tour of the cup following Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope route would be absolutely amazing. Stop in all the small towns (and big cities) along the way, so many people that might never otherwise ever have a chance to see the cup. Players could join the tour, coming and going, alternating appearances. And they could raise money for cancer research at the same time.

  42. Well the Halifax Mooseheads made history by becoming the first 16th seed team to win a playoff series. They finished 38 points behind Drummondville but pulled off the gigantic upset.

    There is nothing to say the Habs can't do the same. They just need to start playing hockey in the first period, everything else is working pretty well. The last two games, they for a change goalied the other teams rather then being on the wrong end of that. Just win Friday night to put the final nail in some teams' coffins (or the penultimate nail at least depending on how they do).

    LFG!

    1. That was quite an upset. The Volts got goalied by Jacob Steinman, the former Moncton Wildcats goalie. That would be a fun series if Halifax can get past Rouyn Noranda.

  43. I was thinking about Deh-ME-dov (as proper pronunciation which Ro-MON-ov taught us, the middle syllable gets the focus) and he needs a proper nickname to match his potential status.
    Thinking how Price was anointed TFS before we even knew just how great he was.
    I think Demidov is in the same stratosphere as Price. He deserves something Grand.
    Is Demigod the way to go? (being called half a god is pretty damn good).
    Or is it something more along the TFS line? TNL. The Next Legend.
    I don't have the answer but Demigod seems the natural fit.
    Dove can work as The M said, also because he might be a 99.44% pure goal scorer.

  45. @ The M, it's always cool seeing the old guys hit the ceremonial first balls. Player at 89 and Jack at 85 still have pretty good swings. For one reason or another :( they will eventually be unable to continue this tradition. Who is next in line would you say? Nick Faldo is probably a lock. I can't think of anybody else, unless Bernhard Langer finally retires. Except for he who shall not be named, when he realizes he can no longer play competitive golf.

    His subsequent cheating of death earns him eternal punishment in the underworld, once he dies of old age. The gods forced him to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. Through the classical influence on contemporary culture, tasks that are both laborious and futile are therefore described as Sisyphean.

  57. The chasers are all still in it. In theory.
    Rags, Wings, Isles could all still reach 87 points and have more RWs. So a loser point or better tonight would eliminate all three. A regulation or overtime win would also put the BJs magic number at 2. They can in theory reach 91 points but the Habs hold the tiebreaker with one more reg/OT win.
    Also, the BJs play the Caps back to back this weekend...though they've clinched first place so those games might not be as tough as they could have been.
    Whether the Habs take care of business themselves or get help, I think it's done before they play Chicago on Monday. Also, they have a wicked record vs the Atlantic including a 3-0 record vs the turds. Big night tonight. LFG!

    3. Neither did the predict-o-meter, though I was curious about my final predictions. From the March 23 post:
      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

Its all in the cotton, and Big Tits was high quality cotton, the label can not be altered, I have done some tests. That is why I have left instructions that when I leave this mortal coil I am buried wearing my big TiTs t shirt.

    if we lose tonite the Stanley cup is out of sight. Conferance finals still well worth our wheelhouse of planning. I got a theory about young players and gaming. I am a 66 year old gamer. I have to admit I had to get my son to move me past some of the challanges in Half life, I gotta admit I had to google to find the video game with Gordon. For sure it would have come to me Saturday at the worst time.
    My point is the kids today, have spacial awareness that we are not aware off. They play these video games where space and time determine victory and they they go on the ice with the non gamers and they have a millisecond atvantage. Then on the replay they get another millisecond, then on the computer they gain half a second in the same situation. So older players are obsolete. The new gen will rule but it will look like drone wars.

  84. I'm not going to throw shade at the Habs for last night's poor effort, they had won 6 in a row so there was bound to be a let down eventually. Plus, Ottawa was ready for them last night from the get go. They beat Montreal to pretty much every puck last night from start to finish.
    My mind is made up though regarding #20. He's not a 1st line player. He's got the size and the strength but not the IQ for the role and still seems lost at times. Nick and CC have carried him long enough. Once Demidov gets up to speed that's his spot and it can't come soon enough.
    Habs need a point tonight, they better be ready this time.

    Go Habs!

      I would leave Slafzillia, he may be a playoff player. However for sure Demigod gets his spot on the first PP. I hope we clinch tonite and then load manage the rest of the season. Ottawa is the real deal and they did not have arguably thier best player. As much fun as it would be, probably better to play the Caps than the leaf.

    2. I think Ottawa is a better team than the leaf. I don't want a Habs/leaf series, my nerves couldn't take it.

  85. Go Justin Rose, Corey Connors, Rory McIlroy or Shane Lowry at the Masters!
