Saint Paddy10:49 AM I see ratface was 'injured' playing the leaf last night. Imagine that, he might not be available to face the consequences for his dirty hit on Math vs the Habs tomorrow...
Habs' goal differential is at zero. Goes without saying that it's imperative that they keep scoring more than they give up to up that number. But they need the consistency and must get the goals against down to a respectable number (generally no more than 3 per game), whether they are winning or losing. Gotta stop with the 5,6,7 goals against games. Hopefully Guhle can stay healthy and help in this department and whichever goalie gets the crease continues to improve and keep the softies out of the net (here's looking at you Sam!).
These three home games are all winnable. 4 of 6 points is a must. I expect 5 of 6. Hope for 6 of 6 without giving a point to the division rivals.
Thanks for the Mustang nod ... the first two are little too gaudy for my tastes ... the last one with the wing on the back, I would take it despite that. Pretty sure that's a GTD model, around 850HP and costs about $350k US. Yikes!
I dont know how to say it in French but they are the team hearts, signed for a decent amount with a huge hometown discount. Unlike the core four who wanted money in the door.

He's loving the attention I wouldn't put anything past him now Let's see what he does with that country now Murica is great at sending planes Now what Go Habs
Future Hart winner wouldn't surprise me. I'm so glad Guerin didn't pick him for Team USA cuz the fire this'll light under his scrawny ass is gonna be legendary.
It's like he just did a speedball Wild eyes prob sweating So I think our no 2 C search should be put on the back burner The Kapster is meshing in just fine with Slav and Demi I mean if something falls into Hugo's lap ok fine but The Glorious Habs are clicking baybee Nothing is broke nothing requires fixing We are holding our own at the top of the standings with large morsels missing Some folks are gonna spend time in the stands but heehaw it's a great ride Go Glorious Habs
There have only been a handful of players from France to play in the NHL. Huet and Texier, it turns out, were born in the same city of Saint-Martin-d'Hères. Which is only about 260km to the Olympic venue as the crow flies.
This brought a long gone memory of "A Bunch of Guys from France" from a tv show in the 70s or 80s. I had to look it up. It's from Laverne and Shirley. https://youtu.be/_WItk4nozDg?si=9m-YjXmr00UGpllO
Tim Bozon was the guy I was thinking of. His father played for St. Louis and Tim was born there but raised in France. Bozon was drafted by Montreal but I can't remember if he actually played for them. I'll have to go look.
I'm sad for the egg man. He quietly went about his business. He'll be back I think, in a pinch Strudel and him could be interchangeable. I think The Ax Man has solidified his place so that really settles most things D Now if we could somehow learn how to avoid carrying three goalies we could reduce our confusion. Anyway Go Glorious Habs
I want it noted for the record that I am in no way attempting to sexually harrass Alexandre Texier, the sexiest Hab of 2026 (so far) insofar as his play dans la Sainte-Flanelle is too sexy for my car. Too sexy by far.
"I'm... Too Texier for my [place less sexy item here] Too Texier for my [place 2nd less sexy item here] Too Texier, by far."
And just like that, they took my advice and 2 games later they are a +7 goal differential. But the standings are so tight, gotta keep the foot on the gas. Keep the foot on the throats of competition. Important game vs the even more surprising Wings tomorrow night. I guess it'll be Doobie's turn in goal?
I haven't really been keeping an eye on the west. Jesus, the Avs are flying. a +76 goal differential. They are 18-0-2 at home. My (practically) neighbour N8 McKinnon is a beast, with another 4 points last night to take the scoring lead.
Love this quote from the astute Lori Bennett, a Newfoundlander working in the armpit (as CHester likes to call it).
The Stay at Home Defense era is long gone.
Remember when Marc Bergevin was stockpiling them like teen girls collect lip gloss? The stay at home defenseman (SAHD, pronounced sad) was Bergevin’s trademark. Collapsing down low on their all-star netminder and hoping to eventually outlast the opponent.
Such defenders have their place, for sure, but when you have too many of them you’ll find yourself staying home a lot.

I think Birdman is in tonight.

ReplyDeleteI didn't figure you'd be a fan, but they represent the three homestand visiting teams, so they're OK to be ugly AF. :)
DeleteAh, now it makes sense. : )
DeleteI was thinking how the SFU lauded their 'core four' for years (and how'd that work out?).
ReplyDeleteSo do you suppose if they were Habs fans instead, that Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, Demidov, and Hutson would be christened with Le Cinq Swank?
The 'core 4' was an epic fail.
DeleteHabs fans don't need no SFU nickname.
Our team wears the Sainted Flannel, nuff said.
The 'core 4' is now the 'loser 3'.
DeleteSainte Flannelle Unie !
DeleteSWIDT ?
Suzuki slaFkovsky hUtson

DeleteDon't understand the Mustang reference.
ReplyDeletePlease to enlighten
Go Glorious Habs
Every once in a while moe or St. Pad will throw in a Mustang picture for me, a Mustang owner.
DeleteOr, Raquel Welch, another fave of mine.
Ahh the light thickens
DeleteGo Glorious Habs
And to club everybody over the head with simplicity, the cars have Flames for tonight, the pink Panther for tomorrow and a Wing for Saturday.
DeleteA Mustang parody !
DeleteNoice !
ReplyDeleteUgh...Sportsnet tonight. Maybe I can get the Calgary feed. Of course that's probably HahaRhudey, but would still be better than Gawley.
ReplyDeleteRDS here, despite their tinge of pure wool wanking.
DeleteRest in peace to the young woman viciously caught in the murderous grasp of the american gestapo.
ReplyDeleteRenee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Thx SiM.
DeleteUS now led by a rogue government.
DeleteYou couldn't pay me to cross that border.
He's loving the attention
DeleteI wouldn't put anything past him now
Let's see what he does with that country now
Murica is great at sending planes
Now what

ReplyDeleteFastLane!
ReplyDeleteAnother point for the Sexier Frenchman.
DeleteFast fucking lane !
ReplyDeleteFast Lane!
ReplyDeleteMid season NHL media has him 5th for the Norris.
ReplyDeleteFuture Hart winner wouldn't surprise me. I'm so glad Guerin didn't pick him for Team USA cuz the fire this'll light under his scrawny ass is gonna be legendary.
DeleteWord is guerin has yet to even talk to him but did call CC to tell him to hit the beach.
ReplyDeleteHUT!
ReplyDeleteHeh, I'm behind because I'd paused the TV.
ReplyDeleteI'm caught up now.
I hope.
Bust a Kap in their ass !

DeleteHe's too Texier by far

CC !
ReplyDeleteCC!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how CC can find those holes.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird hearing Hrudey being so complimentary of the Habs.
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t balance out his moronic post playing career.
Delete3 points for Tex.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crowd !
ReplyDeleteAnother reason why the sfu hates the Habs, us fans.
The Habs fans that go to the mausoleum in tranna make more noise than the leafools in their own rink.
DeleteRank ref.
ReplyDeleteWell played game.
ReplyDeleteEat shit SFU.
ReplyDelete#1 star Texier is the first true Frenchman (de la France) to be a Hab forward, is that right?
ReplyDeleteI think there was one before him. Can't remember his name.
DeleteGoalie Huet #39 is all I can recall.
DeleteAnybody see the 3 stars?
ReplyDeleteTex has to be #1.
Dano, Slaf, Tex
DeleteThanks!
DeleteWell, that's the ugly Flames 'Stang wrecked.
ReplyDelete"Fixed" it for you.
DeleteAI? π
Deleteyep, it's good for something.
DeleteGreat win. The confidence is palpable. GYFHG
ReplyDeleteI don’t like francois gagnon, never have. He’s slimy.
ReplyDeleteHe’s the french fried man.
SWIDT ?
It's like he just did a speedball
DeleteWild eyes prob sweating
So I think our no 2 C search should be put on the back burner
The Kapster is meshing in just fine with Slav and Demi
I mean if something falls into Hugo's lap ok fine but The Glorious Habs are clicking baybee
Nothing is broke nothing requires fixing
We are holding our own at the top of the standings with large morsels missing
Some folks are gonna spend time in the stands but heehaw it's a great ride
Go Glorious Habs
and you can be heros, just for one night
ReplyDeleteThank you David Bowie.

ReplyDeleteOnly played in the AHL.
DeleteI wonder what HuGo could get for :
ReplyDeleteLaine

Josh Roy

2nd round pick
Ratface taking the night off.
ReplyDeleteLucky for him.
He's got the Ax flu.
DeleteI'm sad for the egg man.
ReplyDeleteHe quietly went about his business.
He'll be back I think, in a pinch Strudel and him could be interchangeable.
I think The Ax Man has solidified his place so that really settles most things D
Now if we could somehow learn how to avoid carrying three goalies we could reduce our confusion.
Anyway
Go Glorious Habs
Pierre theBrown says the Habs are talking internally about Blake Coleman. Another clueless insider π€‘.

DeleteIt works better en français
DeleteTrop Texier pour ma char

The only thing missing tonight was a ratface beatdown.
ReplyDeleteWatched helplessly as his team got beat down, at least.
DeleteTesla fully CHarged.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Sexier on making history, with the NHL's first ever beret trick!
ReplyDeleteAnd just like that, they took my advice and 2 games later they are a +7 goal differential.
ReplyDeleteBut the standings are so tight, gotta keep the foot on the gas. Keep the foot on the throats of competition. Important game vs the even more surprising Wings tomorrow night. I guess it'll be Doobie's turn in goal?
I haven't really been keeping an eye on the west. Jesus, the Avs are flying. a +76 goal differential. They are 18-0-2 at home. My (practically) neighbour N8 McKinnon is a beast, with another 4 points last night to take the scoring lead.
Heh Heh... pink panther 'Stang updated. π
