Watching the Prime broadcast. I don't mind the PxP and colour guy but it's weird there is no sound from the ice. No skates carving the ice. No hits along the boards. No yelling. Strange.
No joke: An old friend of mine, Pierre Perreault of NDG, was the sound genious of our Concordia Communications classes in the early 90s. He had the pleasure of redesigning RDS's sound mix for Habs games in the early 2000s and the rest, as they say, is hockey broadcasting history.
Congratulations to the BJays I supppse. My dad has become a fan, having forgiven their Expos-killing ways a few years ago, sliding them into the "may bygones be bygones" bin. For me, I put MLB in the rear view mirror permanently over that debacle, and i SMH at their failure to institute any kind of salary cap.
That said, if a Canadian team comes out as World Series Champs, I'll tip my hat to them, just for all the seething it will cause amidst the Rethuglican Christo-Fascist Nazis runninv that beautiful country into the ground.
Habs with the 5-2 record (10 pts) to start the season. Not too sHABby.
They finished last October with a 4-7-1 record (9 pts). They have 4 games out west to close out the month. .500 hockey is a win. Everything else is gravy. All of these points will count when they do the final tally in April.
With a back to back in Maga north, I suspect Monty gets the next game in Calgary, so Dobes can play the stronger team. Monty best step up his game or he might just see this every other game scenario turn into every 4th or 5th game.
1. This might be the best forechecking game I've seen from this group. 2. Struble played 6 more minutes than AX. He was a +1 with 2 hits. AX was a -1 with 1 hit. AX has a month to pick up his game or he might find himself watching from the box more often than not when Guhle gets back. 3. Another point gives Demi 5 total, tied for the rookie lead with 3 others. KAPS is still a rookie, with 4 points. The Calder is not a runaway by any means, but I feel we're only beginning to see how impactful Demi can be. 4. It's a small sample size, but Doobie is sitting 3rd in GAA (1.63) and 2nd in Save% (.939). Monty is 41st and 50th respectively in those categories.
KAPS!!!

ReplyDeleteSlaf kills a lot of plays.
ReplyDeleteHe isn't processing the game anywhere near as fast as he needs to, unlike his young teammates #48 and #93.
DeleteI love how when this Habs team plays 4 on 4 it's like tgey're on the PP the whole time, only the opposition can't ice the puck.
ReplyDeleteI like our team without Mr wool
ReplyDeleteGo Habs

Just a few thoughts about last night.
