Its going to be a drunken elephant walk to the playoff where Washington will be Trumping us and the Avs will bring down an avalache on any team. Enjoy the chaos. I learned this from the Get Smart exit videos.
Crazy schedule. 5 in 7 and 9 in the next 2 weeks before the xmas break. With 5 points between first and seventh in the Atlantic, this could be the stretch of games that decides whether or not they have what it takes to be serious playoff contenders (not necessarily cup contenders but more than 'in the mix').
Just read the story on LJ Mooney. OK, now that I know he owns it and LJ stands for Little John, and he is cousins with Logan Cooley and they played hockey on his back yard rink, I have more faith that in 2-3 years he can be a part of the cup winning team for the Habs. GYL(ittle)MFG!
There are no easy games in this league. Montreal better be ready or the Dolts will take their lunch money tonight. I hope there are extra smelling salts on the Habs bench for the start of the dreaded 2nd period. Can't afford to be in a coma like Sunday night. It's trivia night so I won't be around for the start. Have fun and Go Habs!
I know its blasmemy and probably risk of excommunication to point out we are not winning the cup this year. This year draft has 3 franchise players, our number two c already packed and ready to go. Just saying
At this rate they will be a lottery team before Christmas. It was entirely possible they would take a step back this season. Youngest team in the league ... they need(ed) some veteran help but loos like HuGo isn't willing to pay the price.
Stats ( if you believe them ) showed The Glorious Habs didn't look as bad as the score showed. Full Monty was as much a reclamation project as Wool and next up would be Tercel. Hugo must be biding his time keeping his powder dry with the wagons in a circle as the expectations grow. We are still in a full rebuild with ongoing projects in nets at forward and on defence. It's just that we can see the future, barring the injury bus, and the future isn't quite here yet. But we're ready. Really ready. We need a real goalie and No 2C and some people that don't get injured for months. That and the one stat from the tampon game was the vanishing of our vet line of Sevens Gally and The Horse. If these guys are to be useful they need to step up and lead the kids. Cause the kids are gonna be just fine .... soon... ish. Go Habs
When I got home last night I put on the TV to check the score ... 4-0 Tampa, nothing to see here, turned it off immediately.
I have mixed feelings about bringing up Fowler. On the one hand, I guess it can't hurt to give him a shot, maybe he will stone a few teams and turn things around or, he gets lit up and management knows he's not ready. Engstrom probably is better than Strobe who should be on the 3rd pair (occasionally) with RoCH. Why is Beck being called up? To replace the fading Lep? Can't see them doing that, probably JD going back down. Anyway, every team goes through this shite, got to tough it out. Lots of games to be played in the next couple weeks, sink or swim. Their choice.
Glad to see another grizzled vet -- CHester -- posting, a couple of 70 somethings sharing our wisdom and calmness. Go over to EOTP and witness all the rage machines ... Fire Everybody! Marty sucks! Laughable.
Cucumber gang, sounds a little sausage-festish...but it makes sense because we cheer for a team that's in a real pickle. If Fowler gets the net, I hope he has a dilly of a game and gets the offensive support he needs from the bread and butter guys. And you know if the sfu cheered for this team instead, they'd be gherkin at just the thought of the potential future of this crew. I don't even like pickles and I'm not Jewish, so I hope this is a kosher post. That'd be sweet.
No need to wheel in the gallows as yet We are either being beaten by established cup contenders or by ourselves Let's bring in The Birdman and see what he's got Just have a looksie not serious enough to scar him but he's an aspiring NHL goalie so put him in nets for a couple of games He'll at least like the food I believe he's a snacker Anyway lots of season left Lots of hockey left Like the Maritimer says stay cool and wait for our time Would have been nice to spank tampon bay tho Just sayin Go Habs
Nicknamed the "Chicoutimi Cucumber" for his calm composure while in goal, Vézina allowed the fewest goals in the league seven times in his career: four times in the NHA and three times in the NHL.
Goalies not good, but defence worse. The slot my friends, that is the area you cant let the enemy into. YOu cant score from the corner or behind the net in the 21 st century. All our vets came out against the war,
I wonder who will start in goal tomorrow in Pitt? Probably Doobie. The boys better get their act together or Sid will take their lunch money. Meh, he always does anyway.
I watched HI/O last night, Cowan, Knuckles and Green. Cowan asked them if Gallagher was running out of gas. Knuckles basically said yeah, and he said he went through the same thing at the end of his career at around 34. You can try as hard as you want but the body just can't do it anymore. Lep is 33, might be time to reduce his responsibilities, maybe fewer minutes, no PP. He's still good in the room.
The Fowl gets the start in net tonight. The lines have been thrown into the eMpTy blender. Eng is in for AX ... WTF Marty, have you not been watching the Strobe gaffes? Should be another L, hopefully not by 5 or 6 goals this time. I might tune in, but not 'til later and I'll be checking the scoreboard first.
Lots of speculation that Strobelight is being shopped, that's why he is in not AX. That makes sense as they aren't trading The Sheriff. Possibly Engstrom being showcased as well. Lots of scouts are following the Habs these days. I even saw one rumour of a Monty/Binnington swap, not sure about that one. Seems a little far-fetched.
Eddie the Eagle, UK3X may be the only one who knows what I am talking about. If its a bird not a plane its an Eagle and he is a American as well. The Eagle has landed. You Kids have no idea if we went to the moon or not, I believe we did, and I believe that the Eagle will save this team just like all the great goalies of the past that faced Pittsburg on the first outing, and I am calling shutout, Iam calling hart trophy, I am calling Venzian, and Stanley cup fuck you SFU we got a goalie we got a goalie and hockey in french is called goalie..
I will sadly have to miss the Bird's debut (got a work thing) but I am not one of those too scared of the pressure affecting him. I think he's mentally tough enough. GYFHG!

I wonder If Bowman watched the Habs/Pens game last night before he pulled the trigger on his big trade? I thought some of the goals scored on Jarry were suspect. Plus, the guy was on waivers and sent to the AHL last year. Wonder what McDrai think?
I saw the replay of the dirty hit, that just seems out of character for Pez. Kinda like Lep on the Islanders D man not long ago. He got 5 for that. I'll write it off as a momentary lapse in judgement.

...or they could end up near the cellar. I prefer option 1.

ReplyDeleteMaybe HuGo can trade LJ to Utah to play with his cousin.
DeleteUtah probably has a spare 6-3 power forward laying around they don't need.
There are no easy games in this league.
ReplyDeleteMontreal better be ready or the Dolts will take their lunch money tonight.
I hope there are extra smelling salts on the Habs bench for the start of the dreaded 2nd period. Can't afford to be in a coma like Sunday night.
It's trivia night so I won't be around for the start.

Sounds like MontembOhNo! will start tonight.
ReplyDeleteDolts score on their first shot, high glove side.
Book it.
Hope he's seen an optometrist.
DeleteGa fah ha ha. Beachball spotting Maiu Jims
DeleteDobie starts.
ReplyDeleteI know its blasmemy and probably risk of excommunication to point out we are not winning the cup this year. This year draft has 3 franchise players, our number two c already packed and ready to go. Just saying
ReplyDeleteSteady progression this season is fine. Missing tbe playoffs altogether would be the only disappointment.
DeleteWow! They actually made the Star Spangled Banner palatable
ReplyDeleteAnd a lovely O Canada too.
DeleteNow GYFHG!
Ouch, Lep
ReplyDeleteFFS Struble move your feet, take the body!
ReplyDeleteThat was inexcusable.
DeleteWell at least they'll start the 2nd period on the PP
ReplyDeleteIf you're gonna go down 3, it's best to do it early so you have time to fight back. That's a helluva strategy.
ReplyDeleteHas The General left town. Get him back and sign him as the D coaCH !
ReplyDeleteBonsoir.
ReplyDeleteHappenin'! Finally some good news.
ReplyDeleteI left at 4-1 and tunes back in just in time to see 5-1.
ReplyDeleteWhen is Guhle back?
At this rate they will be a lottery team before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIt was entirely possible they would take a step back this season.
Youngest team in the league ... they need(ed) some veteran help but loos like HuGo isn't willing to pay the price.
Fowler called up.
ReplyDeleteDesperate times. Send Sam down for 'conditioning'.
DeleteBeck and Egg called up too. The Rocket might be hurting for their game vs the baby leaf tonight.
How about Quack for a nickname?
DeleteI can't remember where we landed when we discussed it before.
Rooster ? (en français Coq)
Deleteau vin?
DeleteNice !

Just have a looksie not serious enough to scar him but he's an aspiring NHL goalie so put him in nets for a couple of games
He'll at least like the food I believe he's a snacker
Anyway lots of season left
Lots of hockey left
Like the Maritimer says stay cool and wait for our time

Tried to play in a game but was too sick. Thought he had the flu.
DeleteDied of TB about a month later.

100% bird strike against the Penguins, you know your Fowl and fair.

Ax was the most dangerous offensive threat last game so I hope this is correct.
DeleteFowler = bird
ReplyDeleteBird gets the start .let's do this boys...prove em wrong!
Flip them the bird !

ReplyDeleteBird flu ?
Delete(apologies for the groan)
Youngest team in the league just got younger.
ReplyDeleteBonne CHance oiseau.
Watching the Pens pre-game and they noted that Dryden, Roy and Price...and now Fowler all played their first NHL game vs the Pens.
ReplyDeleteAnd the first three all had wins.
DeleteLe Tex !
ReplyDeleteFlightless birds got some butt ugly uniforms on, Nashville ugly, couldn't they find some black helmets to wear for a little contrast?
ReplyDeleteNeed a solid second.
ReplyDeleteAt least this goalie can see point shots.
ReplyDeleteGally !
ReplyDeleteLep!
ReplyDeleteThere's the KidG we remember fondly.
ReplyDeleteKid's looking pretty cool so far. And his defence showed up for work, so that helps.
