It will be great to finally put all the political nonsense aside and watch some Habs hockey. It was too long a break. I hope Montreal come out strong to start and put Saint Patrick's Isles on their heels. I hope Monty has a strong game. I hope Slaf has a big game. Go Habs Go!!
I know it's only one game but after last night I'm going to lower my expectations for this team. They : Still can't defend a lead. Need to play Monty as the backup only.
They won't be a contender until: They can defend a lead. Fowler is the #1 goalie.
They are fun to watch. They are also maddening to watch.
I would do it. He would be a placeholder until Birdman is ready. Maybe Fla. would take Doobie and a lower pick. Give Bob a 2 year extension. Wool would have to go to make the money work.
Ok, it took a while to get back in the NHL limelight, but when the Habs start playing well, very well, and the leaf starts cratering, well you just know the sfu will switch gears and start yapping about the Habs, whilst, still, yammering on about their leaf surprisingly sucking and having to retool or such.
I watched Real Kyper and Bourne on YouTube last night, because, you know, watching leaf fans whine and cry about their team is fun. Anyway, a lot of the discussion was about who the leaf should trade and if Berube and Treliving will be replaced in the off season. I'm sure ml$e is discussing that even as I'm typing this. Nick and Justin even threw a couple of bouquets at the Habs, with Justin saying Montreal is going to be an awesome team in the very near future and Nick saying he would like to see the leaf get a management duo like Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes, a hockey guy to evaluate and a former agent to negotiate contracts. A positive spin indeed.
Buffalo winning again last night, looks like they are for real. Montreal now in a wild card spot. I expect the Crapitals to win tonight. At least I won't have to watch Montemblow give up 4 or 5. Fuck trump.
Yeah, that's a mistake. Take out AX against a team that usually ragdolls the Habs? Wilson will have a field day. Sometimes I question Marty's thinking.
- pure narcissistic scum - Gambling ad from mclame - fried fuck is vile, leave my Habs alone, you fucking scumbag - to,d ya they’d lead with the Habs, as their team is a blue and white toilet - why is this bottershill yapping - Bieksa is a fucking hack, zero mind - Hahahrudey is a fucking hack, zero mind - how do these hacks all of a sudden know anything about the Habs - bottershill is a fucking hack, zero mind - 10 minutes to get to their leaf game, what is up with that ? - more stupid rumours from the chinless wonder - dunces starting to shit on their team, aka sharting - when their team is shit, they show jays hilites - …
- more gambling ads by mclame betting on the Habs, fuck off - hahahrudey and bieksa now yipping about Slaf with ¼ of the season left, their leaf must be shit - more gambling ads - Slaf is as real as it gets - Why does bottershill even yip -
So sickening. Death toll in that attack has passed 100 now, per al jazeera, who noted it's next to a Revolutionary Guards barracks (great quality unbiased journalism, still, because they pride themselves on it.)
This organization sure knows how to celebrate winners. Even hi-liting the Caps players, like 'em or not. Genuinely curious if other organizations have done the same for Olympic athletes. Oh, and Cortney Sarault from NB is a damn cutie.
Well it's the ben and donnie show now. Couple of racist no mind war fucks. Kidnapping maduro gave donnie a hard on, I think the orange rapist is becoming satan himself. We're gonna need more than popcorn for this show. At least Kieth and macaroon stayed out of this mess and a mess it is. I don't think there's an organization in Iran ready to march in and take over, Like what happened in Syria. Something tells me the freaks are usually better prepared at moments like this than the good guys. I don't think the Irainian woman will be dancing in mini skirts any time soon. Anyway Go Habs
I was just going to say the Caps are all playing like they've been informed before puck drop these refs will not call any interference penalties on them, no matter what.
I believe it now that Iran's confirmed it. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/2/28/live-israel-launches-attacks-on-iran-multiple-explosions-heard-in-tehran
Well dead things lost beaners list and effin barfalo keeps winning It's like they performed some kind of voodoo on that team Prob sacrifice chickens in the locker room or something GGH
Yep. But this schedule is grueling and I expect Monty to keep getting fairly regular starts - like 10 to 12 more. Historically, Doobie has not been so good when he's been leaned on too heavily.
Well News from the armpit Lost again So three in a row for the underpantses minions and all the droolers SFU and armpitians ( new word - leaf blowing armpit dwellers ) Gloom is settling in over the city like a thick sticky fog of despair We will rejoice in every minute of it What will mclame that biekstah hahahrudy and the woman who screams going to do now What will haze noodles and the o-dog talk about now?? Stay tuned The spectacle is just beginning to unfold Yesssss GGH
So I guess I should stfu when it comes to questioning MSL - except on Monty vs . Doobie - what do I know? Strudel played well. Wilson was a non factor and the Habs win with ease. If everyone is healthy there is no need for Velano. Maybe rotate Tex in and out with Strudle and the Sherrif switching up from time to time. But what do I know. I do love that the leaf are imploding.
A bit of disaster from Dobby D and Whiskey. Dobby D is showing why St Pad turfed him. However take some water in the fine whine, its okay. Whiskey cant get the hattie. We gave up on Lingreen. I guess I jinxed the man from Iran. What is it they say in the south, some people just need killin.
I probably haven't looked at the site in a couple of years, but checked out hockeybuzz and the big news is that he has added NUP (Narcos Underpants Pornstache) to his 'rumor chart'.
Doubtful it happens, but I've been telling my leaf fan buddies for a couple of years that the smart move would be to trade him, considering the return he would bring. Some of them agree. And it should have been done before running Mitchy out of town.
I am very much enjoying the downfall of this 'great on paper' empire. I would credit that to whomever called them that but I can't remember.
Watching the wretched leaf these days is just like back in the pHat pHil days when hnit had the famed 'Kesseltracker'. Actually, Nachos reminds me a lot of pHil, an American expected to lead the greatest team in the history of the universe to Stanley Cup glory. If I can paraphrase the great Simon and Garfunkle : 'Where have you gone Davey Keon a Nation turns it's lonely eyes to you...' Whoo hoo hoo... No, they will fire Berube and bring in a more modern style coach like MSL and try to get Nachos and Willie some help, a couple of real 2nd line players instead of all the slugs and grinders they brought in when they let mitchie walk. It's a train wreck and I'm here for it!
Schaeffer will win the Calder. The kid is outstanding. He doesn't turn 19 until September. No slight on Demi, he's our ROTY and we're lucky to have him. And Kapanen. And Dobeš.
Schaeffer will win the Calder for sure, he hasn't slowed down a bit while Demigod has cooled off immensely. That whole second line has tailed off, I hope it's only temporary, I need Slaf to get going again to get back in my hockey pool race. I would play Dobes tomorrow night in San Jose and then Friday in Anaheim then let Monty play in LA Saturday, that should be the weakest opponent. Unless HuGo trades for Bob and they can parachute him in for the weekend.
I like Kapanen, and he would be expensive, but Robert Thomas on that 2nd line could make it lethal. It's probably something like Kapanen, Hage, 1st, 3rd (or maybe even one of Struble/AX instead of the 3rd). I'd hate to lose the potential that Kap is showing and Hage could have (you don't know for sure until they play in the big league).
Gorton has said they won't trade for a goalie. We'll see. I can see them trying to get a 2nd pairing RD though.
Whatever they can do financially depends on whether a team is willing to take 1/2 of Laine's salary for the remainder of the year. So that only opens another $4.35m. I don't think trading Kapanen and one of Strobe/AX is even enough to fit Rob Thomas (Smooth) into the cap with his $8.125m AAV. Kent's pretty good, maybe he could convince St Loo to eat $1m of that for this season if he throws in a 5th round pick :).
I'm glad we have smart and reasonable men in charge of our team now instead of somebody like me...
That said, I actually think they'll be fairly quiet. Maybe trade Laine. Just like when they took him, they might have to throw in a low end draft pick. They have two 4th round picks.
They absolutely won't trade Hage, and even tho the second line has tailed off the emergence of The Capster and the addition of Danno has cooled down the 2C discussion. If they pull any trigger it would be the perennial desire for a large angry top 6 that can score but knowing HUGO they are D focused so my guess is a large right handed D and adios Strudel or AX or both. We have Rino and The Egg Man just circling and waiting. But quite frankly no trigger will be pulled unless it suits the suits and I have total faith in them. At lease the Kadi talk has stopped. Scum POS. What we have got us here and will power us going forward. This is not our year anyway, and if truth be told we are ahead of schedule and punching above our weight class. But our time is coming baybee and it's not that far away so these HUGO moves are critical and they know it. GGH
Love Old Kid G but I don’t want him becoming a liability with his slow play. He has the biggest heart on the team but … I’d like Beck in his place on maybe a player/coach load management.
Agreed, he has become a weak link on the Danno line. I want him to get 1000 games but it's going to be a challenge. He has one more season of his contract starting this October. It's an 84 game season, if he can play all 84 I think he will make it but they may have to manage his ice time to get it.
Rasmus Ristolainen, right-shot defenceman is signed through 2026-27 at a $5.1-million cap hit, but his actual salary for next season is only $4 million.
Montreal might be the only Canadian team in the playoffs this spring. What ever will the panel have to talk about? No thanks to Robert Thomas. Keep your powder dry until McJesus gets fed up with Stan Bowman and the ineptness of Oiler's management.
A McDemiSlaf line would be pretty damn fine. As fine as the finest of damned fine wine. How many goals would that line score? They'd score more than enough, that's for shore.
Looking like Barfalo are the front runners for Thomas. I can see them loading up, they are on a heater and desperate to get in the playoffs. They've got the assets to sacrifice as well. I prefer HuGo to stand pat, the Habs window is only slightly ajar, but not enough for a big move. Unless Sid wants to get on the bus. Meanwhile, in the armpit, the wretched leaf can only look around and watch as other teams load up and then they have to hand over a high draft pick this June to the beaners. Hilarious stuff.
The other fun part of the sfu is they will start covering other teams because of the shat blue and white bed. Like they know anything about any other team.
From the limited Sharks broadcast hi-lites I saw, Doobie didn't have a great game. Carriere looked terrible on a couple goals. Poor defensive structure on much of it. But Newsie with 2 goals. That's good I guess. Shame to come back from 3 down only to blow it.
I did a lot of fast forwarding of that shit show. Way too much lackadaisical play. Many, many missed scoring opportunities to put the dogfish away early. As Saint Paddy said, poor defense and turnovers galore. I hope they got a tongue lashing from Marty for that mess.
Their leaf are doing something different and intelligent. Their leaf isn’t tanking or re-something. Their leaf is smartly pausing to re-evaluate. Their leaf has smart management that should always be considered the best management.
Never disliked the Sabres. I lived in central Ontario and had Buffalo news all the time. Not sure if Parayko is their answer. Overrated. Regardless, the leaf sucks.

ReplyDeleteIt will be great to finally put all the political nonsense aside and watch some Habs hockey.
ReplyDeleteIt was too long a break.
I hope Montreal come out strong to start and put Saint Patrick's Isles on their heels.
I hope Monty has a strong game.
I hope Slaf has a big game.
Go Habs Go!!
Just fucking win boys...
ReplyDeleteDitto dont listen to the orange atang
DeleteCycling for 2-1/2 minutes is fun. Good seeing the boys together again.

DeleteSummerside Sweetness! Dobbie Dobertson!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Saint Paddy has won any hands yet at his weekly poker game?
ReplyDeleteHopefully they have the game on in the background.
Decent first period, they looked a little out of sync ... too much passing not enough shooting. Again.

ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty sure Suzuki will see the ice.
DeleteEt voilà.
ReplyDeleteMissed point.
Fuck Monty
ReplyDeleteFuck, but I almost don't mind losing to the Isles.
ReplyDeleteGlad I missed this one.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just got rivered in my game and lost $10. Fuck.
Montemblow.
ReplyDeleteTerrible.
I know it's only one game but after last night I'm going to lower my expectations for this team.
ReplyDeleteThey :

Need to play Monty as the backup only.
They won't be a contender until:

They are fun to watch.
They are also maddening to watch.
Trade for Bob ?
ReplyDeleteI would do it.
DeleteHe would be a placeholder until Birdman is ready.
Maybe Fla. would take Doobie and a lower pick.
Give Bob a 2 year extension.
Wool would have to go to make the money work.
If the wretched leaf decide to clean house and fire Berube and Treliving, I think Bargainbin bergy and eMTy would be great replacements.
ReplyDeleteHeh!
DeleteOk, it took a while to get back in the NHL limelight, but when the Habs start playing well, very well, and the leaf starts cratering, well you just know the sfu will switch gears and start yapping about the Habs, whilst, still, yammering on about their leaf surprisingly sucking and having to retool or such.
ReplyDeleteAsk me if I love it.
I watched Real Kyper and Bourne on YouTube last night, because, you know, watching leaf fans whine and cry about their team is fun.

Not much happening, lets beat Washington, no I am not from Iran.
ReplyDeleteBuffalo winning again last night, looks like they are for real.
ReplyDeleteMontreal now in a wild card spot.
I expect the Crapitals to win tonight. At least I won't have to watch Montemblow give up 4 or 5.
Fuck trump.
I feel positive and I think Doobie does god tonight. I don't like swapping out The Sherrif for Strudel - that's a mistake.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a mistake. Take out AX against a team that usually ragdolls the Habs?
DeleteWilson will have a field day.
Sometimes I question Marty's thinking.
Wake up to another fucking USisrael war. Fuck off.
ReplyDeleteMakes watching a hockey game meaningless.
Having said this, the hnic panel panic should be delicious.
ReplyDeleteRIP Neil Sedaka
ReplyDeleteHit machine. Good songs.

ReplyDeleteOh, and Cortney Sarault from NB is a damn cutie.
Whiskey! And I appear to be a full 2 minutes behind SiM...
ReplyDeleteWhiskey! Nice!
ReplyDeleteMy feed is really lagging...haha
DeleteOMG the stupid commentary. Bozo said he thought the goalie was "getting tied up by somebody" - replay shows nobody even near his crease.
ReplyDeleteLindgren brought his horseshoe tonight.
ReplyDeleteMake it a double!
ReplyDeleteOn ice.
DeleteAlmost a triple there
DeleteGreat save.
DeleteCC could've waited half a second though and had a natural.
Strobelight wiyh the assist on the 2nd goal. He's having a very good period.
ReplyDeleteWell it's the ben and donnie show now.
ReplyDeleteCouple of racist no mind war fucks.
Kidnapping maduro gave donnie a hard on, I think the orange rapist is becoming satan himself.
We're gonna need more than popcorn for this show.
At least Kieth and macaroon stayed out of this mess and a mess it is.
I don't think there's an organization in Iran ready to march in and take over,
Like what happened in Syria.
Something tells me the freaks are usually better prepared at moments like this than the good guys.
I don't think the Irainian woman will be dancing in mini skirts any time soon.
Anyway
Go Habs
Bibi gets his wet-dream: a forever war against Iran backed by a bunch of clueless American stooges. Already in way over their heads.
DeleteCC tied for the goal scoring lead in the league.
ReplyDeleteThanks Philadelphia Flyers, aka phuckers.
Decent first period, should have had a couple more with any luck.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope Doobie is sharp the rest of the way.
Habs getting a lot of love tonight ... not used to this.
ReplyDeleteI feel a little dirty.
Don’t buy their 💩.
DeleteA lot of talented plays. Bury more goals.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say the Caps are all playing like they've been informed before puck drop these refs will not call any interference penalties on them, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteDo the math !
ReplyDeleteMaths is fun!
ReplyDeleteMathisfun!
ReplyDeleteNice play from Bull Duke.
ReplyDeleteThe two guys who were healthy scratches last game both have assists tonight.
ReplyDeleteDep.
DeleteAnd Doobie playing a big game too.
DeleteIs it just me or does the CGI in that Pixar's Hoppers ad look like low-grade early CGI?

ReplyDeleteJust a ho hum 3 point night for the captain.
ReplyDeleteRefs is still trying to get Caps to win I see
ReplyDeleteWell dead things lost beaners list and effin barfalo keeps winning
ReplyDeleteIt's like they performed some kind of voodoo on that team
Prob sacrifice chickens in the locker room or something
GGH
Buffalo wings? ;-p
DeleteWho knew firing a GM could cause such a turnaround.
Delete7vans you fucking rock star!!
ReplyDelete⁷s
ReplyDeleteI hereby annoint Dobes as #1.
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteYep. But this schedule is grueling and I expect Monty to keep getting fairly regular starts - like 10 to 12 more. Historically, Doobie has not been so good when he's been leaned on too heavily.
Delete7Evans is one underrated player.
ReplyDeleteGreat move keeping him.
Suck it, OvRetchkin, you scored 2 more but it was because no Habs could be bothered to stop you cuz it doesn't mean shit anymore if you score.
ReplyDeleteVery good game.
ReplyDeleteOther than a couple breakdowns a very well played game.
DeleteOn to California.
Those breakdowns were on purpose, to kill the will of OvRetchkin to believe he is still relevant. I believe!
DeleteNice win
ReplyDeleteStrong win for the boys
They needed this
Can't get swept by Tom
The east is a tough place to be we need all these wins
GGH
Well

It's a train wreck and I'm here for it!
Schaeffer will win the Calder. The kid is outstanding. He doesn't turn 19 until September.
ReplyDeleteNo slight on Demi, he's our ROTY and we're lucky to have him. And Kapanen. And Dobeš.
Schaeffer will win the Calder for sure, he hasn't slowed down a bit while Demigod has cooled off immensely. That whole second line has tailed off, I hope it's only temporary, I need Slaf to get going again to get back in my hockey pool race.

DeleteThey won't trade Hage, no way no how, so I don't know if the Thomas trade is possible.
DeleteI think they are trying to get a power forward type to play with NickCole and a stay at home D.
Agreed, a goalie is unlikely.
They will move Laine, there are teams looking for a shooter for the PP, Carolina has been mentioned.
In HuGo we trust.
They absolutely won't trade Hage, and even tho the second line has tailed off the emergence of The Capster and the addition of Danno has cooled down the 2C discussion.

I prefer HuGo to stand pat, the Habs window is only slightly ajar, but not enough for a big move.
Unless Sid wants to get on the bus.
Meanwhile, in the armpit, the wretched leaf can only look around and watch as other teams load up and then they have to hand over a high draft pick this June to the beaners. Hilarious stuff.
The leaf are selling high, on their own terms, er fumes.
Deletesfu splooging on Friday will be furiously epic (SWIDT?)
The other fun part of the sfu is they will start covering other teams because of the shat blue and white bed. Like they know anything about any other team.
Delete10pm start.
ReplyDeleteAyoye !
11pm here.
DeleteWatch the game, let MmeTheM, aka TheMme get some sleep.
DeleteHeh, I'll be asleep by then.
DeleteTheMme is an insomniac nowadays.
No to Thomas, if the Blues want to dump him, why? Nature is a marginal first line center. Thomas is no Nature. No to Thomas for a kings ransdom.
ReplyDeleteI will have to read all about and catch highlights...3am start my ass! Just fucking win boys😀
ReplyDeleteHope things are good on the other side of the pond XXX.
DeletePVR for me ... get up and watch the game in the morning.
ReplyDeleteA lot, too many ex-nordicks media on RDS. They can’t hide their Habs hate. The worst is the truly vile gaston therrien.
ReplyDeleteGilbert Delorme isn’t very bright.
ReplyDeleteWas gonna try for a period, but sleep is calling.
ReplyDeleteGYMFHG!
Hearing Calgary interested in AX. I hope not and if so it better not be part of a trade for that weasel Kadri.
G Y F H G !
ReplyDeleteKap !
ReplyDeleteHis 19th.
DeleteHorse !
ReplyDeleteMaybe Dano.
DeleteOr Math.
DeleteGoes to Dano.
ReplyDeleteFrom the limited Sharks broadcast hi-lites I saw, Doobie didn't have a great game. Carriere looked terrible on a couple goals. Poor defensive structure on much of it. But Newsie with 2 goals. That's good I guess. Shame to come back from 3 down only to blow it.
ReplyDeleteNow 5 points from first in the division and 5 points from being outside the playoffs looking in.
ReplyDeleteIt's sphincter clenching time.
I did a lot of fast forwarding of that shit show.
ReplyDeleteWay too much lackadaisical play.
Many, many missed scoring opportunities to put the dogfish away early.
As Saint Paddy said, poor defense and turnovers galore.
I hope they got a tongue lashing from Marty for that mess.
They need someone to teach the defence how to play defence.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Andrei Markov doing these days?
Bob might be for sale.
ReplyDeleteHey HuGo, what have you got to lose?
Send Monty back from whence he came.
DeleteGo Devils
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteAnd go Kuh-niggits!
Simon Nemec available…
ReplyDeleteDoesn't help now. Reinbacher probably better.
DeleteNeed a big meanie on the back end to keep pests like Celebrini and the like from crease crashing.
Yeah, surprised he’s available.
DeleteEnjoy the panic …

stand pat Pat Pat, we dont need no trash, if these players are so valuable , why they want to lose them?
ReplyDeleteMissing the playoffs is the best thing that can happen if the alternative is trading futures.
ReplyDeleteThe sfu spin is starting up.
ReplyDeleteTheir leaf are doing something different and intelligent. Their leaf isn’t tanking or re-something. Their leaf is smartly pausing to re-evaluate. Their leaf has smart management that should always be considered the best management.
The leaf are pretty much fucked.
DeleteWe know it and deep down they know it.
They have to convince the (mostly) braindead fan base they are not.
bottershill wants kadri with the Habs. She says he fits in. What a fucking moronic 🤡 she is.
ReplyDeleteThe time of the NHL season where elliotte fried man proves exactly what he is. 💩
ReplyDeleteReporterchris, dredger and 3 chin the brown too.
DeleteYeah that chris fucker, forgot about him since he joined the scumbag mirtle.
DeleteThe littlest hedgehog.

ReplyDeleteNever disliked the Sabres.
ReplyDeleteI lived in central Ontario and had Buffalo news all the time.
Not sure if Parayko is their answer. Overrated.
Regardless, the leaf sucks.
Might need a new thread come morning …
ReplyDeleteAna to the rescue …
Kirby Dach's brother Colton traded to the Oilers.
ReplyDeleteThey still aren’t winning the Cup.
DeleteHabs are Canada’s best bet for the many upcoming years.
The fun thing about the trade deadline is the sfu will make it all about their leaf.
ReplyDeleteThey are experts at finding corn in 💩.
