The Harder They Come FHFuck em all


Well, they tell me of a Habs pie up in the sky 

Waiting for me when before I die 

But between the day Roadrunner and I were born and then we fly

The sfu never seem to hear our Olé cry


So as sure as the Habs sun will shine 

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine 

And then the harder they come 

The harder they fall, one and all 

Ooh, the harder they come 

The harder they fall, leaf and all


Well, the mediot oppressors are trying to keep us down 

Trying to drive my Habs underground 

And they think that they have got their battle won 

I say forgive them Rocket, they know not what they've done


'Cause, as sure as the HuGo sun will shine 

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine 

And then the harder they come 

The harder they fall, refs and all 

Ooh, the harder they come 

Harder they fall, leafools and all


And I keep on blogging for the things I want 

Though I know that when you're dead you can't 

But I'd rather be a free man in my time 

Than living as a puppet or as gambling slime


So as sure as the sun will shine 

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine 

And then the harder they come 

The harder they fall, sfu and all 

Ooh, the harder they come 

Harder they fall, mclame and all


Hey, the harder they come 

The harder they fall, Utah and all 

Hey, the harder they come 

The harder they fall, Vegas and all 

Hey, the harder they come 

The harder they fall, Avs and all

    Lots of debate over at EOTP about the D situation, who stays who goes.
    Now Engstrom called makes it more complicated.
    Some are speculating AX will be the odd man out. Or Strobe. Meh.
    How about they will be showcasing AE?
    I watched Kyper and Bourne last night on YouTube ... Kyper was adamant the the Xhekaj bros played a huge part in beating the leaf. He said the leaf had no answer for those two.
    I say AX is going nowhere or Strobe, you need that toughness if you are going anywhere in the playoffs. Probably even more of it. FloX stays.
    If I were to speculate, AE will be part of a package to bring in ROR or someone similar.
    Hughes always likes to get ahead of the game. He got RoCH in December last year.
    Like a good chess player, he's always a few moves ahead.
    Go Habs.

  2. FANtastic parody moe!
    RIP Jimmy.
    P,T&A is one of my favourite movies. Saw it during my brief (thankfully) 6 month stay in Toronto in '87.

    Starr and D'Amico too are speculating whether Engstrom is being showcased.

    Expect the unexpected when it comes to Kent.

    GYMFHG!

  3. Genius, apt and timely parody, moe!

    Yes, Engstrom is by all accounts a good puck-moving d-man, but not terribly tough. The classic "get you to the playoffs but not through" player, I suspect. A showcasing is possible, as I feel like HuGo's moves are precisely designed towards acquiring more of the "get you throughs" at this stage, and I'm here for it..

    1. They've got 3 puck movers already, Dobber, Math and Rock.
      They really don't need another one.
      I just read that Trotz is gauging interest in his (expensive) vets who are currently not working out for him.
      ROR would be welcome.
      Stammer maybe but Nash would have to eat a shit load of that cap hit.
      Marschy no thanks.
      Forsberg sure.
      Anyway, the next few weeks will be interesting.

    I enjoyed watching her and her team play and win 4 Scotties in a row and 2 world championships.
    It was a rare thing back then for a Maritimes team to win like that.
    They were a powerhouse.

  6. Strange game times this week.
    1030pm tonight. Much too late for this old fart. That's my bedtime.

    Friday at 5pm vs Vegas and Saturday at 4pm vs Colorado. Weird, but good for our friend UK3X.
    All because of the damn Murrican Thanksgiving and 'black friday' business.

    All times noted are AST.

    They will be lucky to come away with 2 points from this trip.

    So will our USA CHers, Whiskey and Fast Lane.

  18. Good to wake up to the highlights and a win. Thought they blew it when they gave up 3 in a row but the kids are alright. Everybody chipping in, but man Suzuki and Hutson are the offensive engines on this team.

  19. They got two points on this trip at least. Now, if they can steal one tomorrow that would be great. Just throw the Colorado game in the dumpster, try to keep it close.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Happy to see SiM stick it out last night, somebody's got to hold the fort down.
    Finished watching the re-run from last night, other than the brief melt down in the 2nd a decently played game. They had their legs especially in the 3rd period when Marty shortened the bench.
    Doobie was rock steady, you've got to give the net to him going forward. Unlike the tsn crew's suggestion I would let Doobie play a weaker Vegas team, try to get another point there, and let the chips fall where they may in Colorado with Monty.
    And, props to the Captain, he put the team on his back last night, job well done. What a player.

    It's a tough hill, just beat the #2 ranked team in the world to get there to play Rachel Homan, the #1 team in the world.
    But perhaps stars are aligned. Nova Scotia greatest curler just passed so can give her a boost from beyond (if you're into that sort of thing). And the best of three final starts tomorrow on BLACK Friday. It's right there in her name! It's meant to be... maybe.

  27. Some good news, both Montreal and Colorado play today, the Canadiens in Vegas of course and Colorado in Minnesota. They both have to travel but Montreal has the shorter distance, so maybe the game will be a little more evenly matched than I anticipated earlier.
    Hopefully Monty can save the first SOG today and give his team a little momentum.

  57. You gotta love Mike Matheson's logic re: his new contract. "I left money on the table so Kent will be able to sign Connor McDavid in two years. Or less."

    I laughed last night at a comment on the leaf podcast, "trade Matthews and pray McDavid will come home." To which another fan replied: "McDavid won't go anywhere near Toronto."

    I can see a point where Tranna will be too toxic a place for fee agents to go. And soon.
