    I was13 years old when the 71 Canadians took the ice. Everything in my life was perfect. In 1971 I had zero complaints and zero worries about my future. What did we do wrong and can we fix it? I say no way. 4 feet of soil will stop most gamma rays, but you got to filter the air for at least two weeks.
    Practice with a 3 foot crowbar. I am pretty sure no one without a gun can take me now

  7. In the spring of '71 I was 16 years old, getting ready to write a grade 11 biology exam on that May night when Jacques Lemaire scored from just over the red line on Tony Esposito to make it 2-1 Chicago. The Pocket Rocket then proceeded to score 2 goals and Ken Dryden shut the door at the old Chicago Stadium to win the unexpected Cup. I remember my mother watching it with me. A great memory. Oh yeah, I skimmed through my biology text book on the bus ride to school the next day and passed it. It was a 45 minute ride so lots of time to that work done.

    I knew that Bobby Rousseau had played for the Habs at the start of his career but I remembered him more as a NY Ranger. RIP.

    Born in ‘61, Habs fan from birth but realized how blessed I was in ‘68.
    Imagine how we’ve seen so many great goalies.
    Hoping the Bird keeps up the tradition and gets the big Cup.
    Also took a daily bus ride from Galt/Cambridge to Hamilton for 4 years. 45 minute ride.
    Loved my high school days from ‘76 to ’79.
    Enjoyed the jealousy of leafools.
    Hated hnic because they hated the Habs.
    Some things never change.

    Also born in 61 in Winnipeg. Became a Habs fan on the last day of the season 1970. Listened on the radio. Habs needed 5 goals to make the playoffs and were losing 5-2. Pulled the goalie with 10 mins left and lost 10-2. Missed the playoffs, but I decided then and there, that this was my team. Moved to Galt/ Cambridge in grade 8 for 1 year. Just missed you Moe. We mighta met and become friends. My family unfortunately moved back to the Peg the next year. Dad must have hated how close we were to COTU

  10. I listened to many hockey games on the radio growing up in southwest Nova Scotia. The signals on a clear night were great with open water between there and the U.S.
    Boston, New York, Philly, Pittsburgh even Detroit games I could pick up on our AM radio. Radio-Canada out of Moncton carried the games as well, I picked up a lot of French terminology listening to those games.

  14. I'm just a young fella, born on my day in '69. So I was only 2 in 1971. My first hockey memory is the 1975 New Years Eve game vs the Red Army. My folks were out and my Great Aunt was sitting me and my brothers who were 10, 11, &12 at the time. She was a Habs fan and let us stay up to watch the game. Even the leaf and bruin fans (the middle bros) watched. I think they were cheering for the Russians.

  58. Thinking up a parody: From the Who

    Won't Get Reffed Again

    We'll be fighting on ice sheets
    With our CHildren at our feet
    And the morals that they worship will be gone
    And the men with striped shirts on
    Sit in judgement of all wrong
    They decide and the whistle calls it wrong

    I'll tip my hat to the goalie substitution
    Take a bow for Fast Lane's revolutions
    Smile and grin at HuGo's team all around
    Tune in RDS and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get reffed again

    The CHange, it had to come
    We knew it all along
    We got obliterated in goal, overall
    But team D looks just the same
    And history ain't changed
    'Cause Stanley Cup banners, they aren't flown in any losing cause

    I'll tip my hat to MSL's restitution
    Take a bow for Demidieu's revolutions
    Smile and grin at the CHange
    Pick up my TV clicker and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get goalied again
    No, no!

    I'll move myself and my CH family aside
    If we happen to be left half alive
    I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
    Though I know that the compromised Refs never lie
    Do ya?

    There's nothing on NHL ice sheets
    Looks any different to me
    And the excuses are replaced, by-the-bye
    And the bought refs on the left
    Are now blinded by the sight of
    More money than they've ever made in one night

    I'll tip my hat if betting's sent to the dustbin
    Take a bow for Nature's resolution
    Smile and grin at the CHange all around
    Pick up my blogger and say
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get reffed again
    Don't get reffed again
    No, no!

  59. Man oh man...up 4-2 I called it a night. Habs got reffed again but ffs - everyone wants to score goals and has completely forgotten to play D. Feel bad for Bird. Habs need waaay more presence in front of there own net. If you stand in front of our net, you should feel some pain. No one is getting touched and all the goals happened up close (penalty shot doesn't count - that was a BS call to start with)...so far...7 games played in December=7 points...dropped points in December will haunt us in April...

    ReplyDelete
  60. Despite the fact they can't play defence worth shit, and the questionable issues, the Habs are only 3 points out of first place in the Atlantic division with a game in hand. But, only 6 points out of last place. So, firmly 'In Da Mix'.

    As eMTy once said, this Habs D is 'soff'. If they had Weber, Chiarot and Edmundson on this team with Matheson, Hutson and AX then you would be talking.

    As for tonight's game, yikes, McD and Drai 's eyes will be as big as cup saucers when the Habs D parts like the Red Sea for them with a path straight to the net. Ouf!

  106. If you watched the post-game interview on the ice with Marc Denis, you could see how much Dobeš CHerished the standing O he received. I think he's the type of player that really responds to that positive reinforcement, and I think/hope that game pulls him out of his funk. I feel he is the #1 and MontembOHNO may be the firm backup. Birdman looks good, but I have no problem with him going back to Laval if at least one of our other goalies has his head on right.
