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.
Happy to see they won. I think the Habs can pick up points on the western trip. Flames are not playing well, Oilers goalies suck, Canucks are probably the biggest problem but they will be coming off a road trip which usually is an issue. Plus, Les Canadiens always get great fan support in Western Canada.
I'm glad Marty put the Horse/7Evans/Lep line back together, that is a great energy line. I don't know what will happen with Wool but he can't disrupt that line.
Looking at the standings this morning, two things of note : 1) Montreal is the second highest scoring team in the NHL behind the despicable, morally bankrupt Golden Pissers. 2) Yikes, the Sharks and Flames are abysmally bad and seem to be Grovelling For Gavin... Dubas better get off his ass and start trading some vets soon if he wants a crack at McKenna.
I can't see a place for Wool. Against Barfalo we rolled 4 lines Natures line is as expected Tj Hooks line is smokin hot loving The Cap Man Jake Josh and Galley are perfect together So we put an 8+ mil PP specialist(?) on the 4th line? And quite frankly to break up Demi Cap and The Hooker would be stupid So where does The Dachster check in? I know it's early but Mr. Beck didn't exactly look out of place and he is cerebral enough to flatten the learning curve. Sadly JoeV looked a little overwhelmed but that's to be expected as the speed of the hockey we are playing requires quick feet as well as quick thinking. Such wonderful problems So sad to see Barfalo entering what the 14th year of early golf They have some great pieces but lindy's not the answer Anyway on to our western swing May The Force Be With Us Go Habs
7 games into the NHL season and 7 weeks into the NFL season and both of my teams are at the top of their division. I'm not a leaf fan so I don't celebrate in October, but it's a good sign for both of these franchises that they're moving in the right direction.
The Pats and Drake Maye look good from what little I've seen.
The Giants can't hold a lead, they've thrown 3 games away. They should be leading or tied for the division lead.
Yeah, I'm not celebrating anything in October but their record this year sure is better than last. Worrying about Wool's and Monty's feelings are small potatoes. Strangely enough, I think the only place to hide Wool is on the 1st line. If they can get him going they can up his trade value.
KAPS!!!

ReplyDeleteHappenin'!
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

ReplyDeleteGreat team effort. 3-1 for the first homestand. GYFHG! Go west, young Habbies.

Just a few thoughts about last night.

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.

I still ignore baseball and always will.

I can think of 87 things I'd like for Christmas!

They have some great pieces but lindy's not the answer
Anyway on to our western swing
