The leaf want a first round pic and a prospect for Nick Roy They are sitting out their three chosen players pending trades I'm guessing I think they're clearly dreaming of first round picks and teams lining up to battle for their three guys I don't know what they think they will be getting for these guys but there is clearly delerium in the armpit The hilarity continues GGH
I certainly wouldn't sell the farm for Robert Thomas but a rental that might make sense for HuGo is Vincent Trocheck from the Rags. A second round pick and a B prospect or a deferred pick might get it done. Gorton knows this guy from his Rag days, he would shore up the second line with a veteran presence, he wants to stay east, why not spend a couple months in Montreal *cough* Chez Paree *cough* ... Even though he's a trumper I could look the other way...
sfu’s favourite day of the season where they fucking flood the airwaves with their leaf. This year it is all bad news but watch them try to spin 💩 into gold.
I actually kind of enjoy watching all the drama as their team sinks in the standings, can't get low enough to keep their first round pick and wonder if Nachos will ask to be traded out of the armpit shitshow. Watching them try to spin 💩 into gold makes this old Habs fan happy!
I'd just like to see them play better defence and not run around chasing the puck like kids playing house league U10 hockey. Play better D and your goalie stats will improve automatically. If they were to pick up an experienced 2C it would up their chances to compete.
Refinishing hardwood floors this morning. First time trying this and it's going OK. The sanding the past couple of days took much longer than expected because the previous owners had refinished them and did a horrible job leaving streaks of thick stain, which I basically had to grind off. But once after much searching I found the right applicator, the first coat went on well this morning. Just putting a clear coat on, not a fan of dark stains. 3 hours til the 2nd coat. And some electrical to do while I wait. If you don't hear from me later, that maybe didn't go well...
Oh and is there anything happening in hockey today? I know the Brier playoffs are starting soon!
Oh hell yeah I've had some shocking experiences dealing with electricity.
But no problems today!
So all quiet on the trade front I see. What stupidity have they been filling the airwaves with this time?
10pm AST start tonight. Might see a couple periods. So next season, oleg and the Canucks game will only be 3 hours behind us on the East coast after the clocks go back, right?
I only tuned in briefly earlier in the day and they were lauding the great Scott Laughton and pontificating on the huge return he might bring. Guess it'll be one of those last minute blockbusters...
The leaf weren't getting much for any of those slugs. Lucky to get a conditional first for Nic Roy. They are in for a long rebuild despite what Pelley says.
Kind of happy Didn't see much of anything for Les Glorieux out there Glad the jackal stays out west far away POS So the dumpster fire got a conditional first a couple of seconds and some gravel for their big three and mostly next year So this is their rebuild ? Starting 2028 with a few 18 year olds ? This is gonna be a long long wait for the armpitians if it even ever arrives Spectacular fall a la shanaban You're welcome armpit! GGH
I think what would help the team next season is having Thomas Plekanec behind the bench. Would love to see it. Not sure we will though. Would love to see Markov too, but am quite certain he'll never coach here.
Monty the Sieve plus the Habs Sponge Bob Squarepants porous defence doesn't inspire a lot of confidence lately. When this trip started I hoped for a 1-1-1 record but 2 points might be the best to hope for.
'We're not going to transact for the sake of transacting': Habs' GM details slow deadline The NHL trade deadline has come and gone, and while the Habs sit in the first wild card spot in the East, they didn't make any trades. GM Kent Hughes said that there were some deals on the table, but he wasn't in a rush to make something happen just to regret it later. Hughes also admitted that they were working on a “significant” deal that came down to the wire, and may circle back in the summer.
The HuGo tandem do their best work in the summer. Proven time and time again. I think Burkie always said that GMs make all their mistakes on deadline day. Just ask Treliving how he made out on TDL in 2025. The leaf will be paying that bill for years.
So how do they handle Wool now? Activate him and send someone dowm they'll likely lose on the waiver wire? Or do they have to keep him on IR until someone else gets hurt?
Habs are mentioned 😜… https://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/brad-treliving-rates-the-maple-leafs-trade-deadline-moves-and-hints-at-changes-to-come/article_45bdefea-bf38-41ff-bb63-9f2697928a04.html
Me too, couldn't believe the Habs got a really skilled winger for a goon, even if he was a really good goon. That's what leaf coach John Brophy wanted his team to be, a bunch of tough guys.
Habs fans are going to be enjoying some really bad leaf teams for a few years at least. There is no quick fix to be had. They will be forced to trade Matthews at some point, just like Kessel.
Another 6-5;loss with Monty...fuck me - if MSL keeps going to him the Habs are doomed. Teams have figured it out. Shoot from the blue line - fucking sieve. On the positive, at least Whiskey will reach 50 at this rate...and I read somewhere that Nature hasn't had a shootout goal on 3 years...that continued sadly...
Mercifully I have a bonspiel tonight so will miss the game.
But I do want to say that loss is not totally on Yoko. But he's the reason they had to make yet another comeback. The entry into the zone against the top line in the last minute was far too easy. And that typing goal was tipped, not Monty's fault. And he did what he could in the shootout. We need guys to do better in that category. Starting with Nick. Remember when he was nearly a guaranteed goal?
3 points for Hutson. Good stuff.
Seems like neither AX or Strobe will ever be trusted to play more than 10 or 11 minutes. Much as I'd hate to lose AX, I think ultimately he's going to be moved, possibly this summer. You gotta have guys you can trust in all situations. Same with Strobe.
And will a rookie goalie be the answer next year or do they add a vet?
Still lots of future questions, but for now we ride this team...hopefully into the playoffs.
I've seen enough of Yoko, if they don't want to bring Birdman up (and they shouldn't) they should bring Ka Ka up and make him the backup. He certainly wouldn't or couldn't be any worse than Yoko.
That being said, this bunch have to play better D. Marty has them stick checking and chasing other players like dogs chasing cars. Terrible system. And I wouldn't worry about AX or Strudel, 3rd pair guys usually only play around 10-12 minutes anyway.
I'm glad I didn't stay up to watch that shit show last night. I would have been even more pissed of this morning. Oh well, try to salvage another point tonight. Let Dobes see the puck and he will stop it unlike Mr. Magoo the near sighted goalie aka Yoko ONO!
Will I finish watching this game? It depends on how much poor defensive play I see. You can usually tell pretty early if they are interested or not. If L.A. scores in the first minute I'll be pissed.
Since the Habs have the WORST record of any team to play in California the last 10 years, how about they just forfeit the 6 points and save themselves the travel and bother of going. Take the week off instead.
Me thinks it's time to bring in a proper D coach Me also thinks Marty might not play well with others Shots are always 2-1 at least and with the sieve in every second game, a goalie who does well in close, but can't stop shit from the blue line, something has to give and that would be our wild card spot We better start playing some serious D and soon cause we won't last long in the playoffs GGH
Rough night for me. Got home from curling to the news that my oldest brother, the Habs fan, has passed away. RIP Kev. I tuned in to see the final two goals. I feel this win was for him. But before tuning in, at the same time I got that bad news, Mrs Pad dropped the 4 litre container of chilli we made on her foot, the container shattered and we got chilli splatter across the floor and up the walls that would make Dexter queasy. I think the foot isn't broken at least. And we salvaged half of it (stayed in the container, not scraped off the floor). My bro was not well for a long time, on dialysis for a long time and recently moved into a care facility. But that said, it is one of those unexpected but not surprising things. He was only 62. Now in his honour, just keep winning and bring the cup back home. He was a huge Ken Dryden fan, so let's have Doobie channel #29 for the rest of the season. LFG.
Very sorry to hear this, St. Pad. Hope your bro got to enjoy this high octane team, second in the league in goals scored per game behind only Colorado, on the telly like us. My condolences to you and your family.
I'll have to make The Toronto Star one of my inteplex stops going forward. The cynical savagery written about The Dumpster Fire is a glorious thing to experience. From Captain Underpants to berububby ( the pimple that must be popped ) to bradly and the man scotty All savaged as stupid morans ill suited to their roles and void of any smarts talent knowhow or give a fucks. Hilarity This can only get better The quote was "nowhere to go and six weeks to get there " Hilarity On a diff note Time for The Glorious Habs to return home reset reboot refocus and unleash on The Dumpster Fire GGH
Ok sorry Last one The Dumpster Fire doesn't have a first round pick till 2028! They have the av's pick 2027 which should be at the bottom of the round So the year that they are bouncing along the bottom, they don't have a pic Hilarity What management skills! GGH
Expecting a team of kids to have to score 5 or 6 goals every game is too much. MSL has to stop with the Monty love. He is a fucking sieve. Doobie might not be perfect but he's better than Monty right now and he must play more. I know March is a busy month with lots of hockey to play...but if the Habs wanna be in the mix (in a good way) Doobie needs the net on most nights. Ride him till he breaks. You can sense the Habs griping their sticks a little bit harder with Monty in the net - they know that pretty much any shot on goal is likely to go in and that can really impact their game.
This isn't wrong. Time for another conditioning stint in Laval for Monty, and bring up the K-man (Birdman, having just come back from a brutal flu recovery after losing ten pounds, needs a bit of time to get his strength back one imagines).
First, let me add to the condolences to Saint Paddy on the loss of his brother. I lost a brother 30 years ago so I can understand.
Second, I've been battling a bad sinus infection the last few days so my energy level is really low. I watched the first two periods last night, they were playing so poorly I didn't see a path to victory so I bailed and went to bed. But, I had this site on my tablet and kept refreshing and lo and behold they pulled out the win. I hope the Habs got out of the 'Crypt' before the LAPD was called for grand theft larceny. Kudos to Doobie Bro, Nature and Slafsquatch for manufacturing that minor miracle.
It was funny to hear mclame and pos fried man discussing the leaf Tank. Glorious.
Finally, time to cut bait on Red Light Montanblow. Put him on waivers and send him to Laval for good. If someone claims him that's fine, they got him for nothing so no assets would be lost. Bring up the Birdman as the backup going forward or Kaapo. Ride Doobie hard the rest of the way. Hey, Pittsburgh sent Tristan Jarry to the AHL last year so it's not unprecedented.
Thanks for the kind words FHFriends. Onward and upward.
Lori (Habather) noted that they play 2 back to backs this week. 2 of those games cannot be entrusted to Yoko. So I am in agreement. Waive him and bring up Kakko til Fowler is fully recovered.
She's bang on. Marty can't afford to throw away any points with Yoko any more. Bring up Fowler and bring up Bach. Put Guhle on the left side with Roch, Bach with Hutson. As Brian Wilde has pointed out, Fast Lane is their BEST D at protecting a lead. The numbers are there. And yes, please sit Old KidG on the b2b's, Tex can more than fill his shoes.
Bach can’t be worse but I’ve watched some games recently and despite his skill and smarts he doesn’t use his size. Playoffs require D size and using it.
I would give him some games before the playoffs. They don't need a hitter at the moment, just someone to get the lefties on the left and who can skate the puck out of trouble if need be.
Looking at playoff possibilities, the Habs won't be playing any headhunters like Washington in the first round. More likely Detroit, Buffalo or Tampa. These will be more skill than brute force series. No Tom Wilsons on those clubs.
Have you ever been knee deep in Kimchi. Well I haVE AND IT changed me. I dont go near anywhere with cabbage growing. The Leaf are knee deep in Kimchi and I got to tell you there is no elegant way out. The USA has entered the same vegativie state. The last of us is a great show, for me way to woke but I can work through it. America has taken its woke empire and gone against the Zombies. Its popcorn time.
Happy International Women's Day to all international women around the globe. May we keep our young men far from the clutches of the backward, growing manosphere, where they hope to return to commodifying women.
What a wild game last night as Buffalo moves into first place with an 8-7 win over T-Bay. Odd choice for the bolts to play Vasilesky vs the lowly leaf on Saturday and their backup vs Buffalo. I guess they're using Marty's theory from last season of getting the sure win vs the weaker opponent.
Anyway, Habs have 20 games left. If they only win one of those game, make it the next one.
Goaltending dilemma right off the bat. Do you play Doobie against the leaf and throw away the Ottawa game with Yoko? If I were deciding I'd bring up Fowler for tomorrow and play Doobie Wednesday.
Man Barfalo has come alive. Watching the hilites last night of the tampon bay game and barfalo took no shit There was many angry moments of oh ya fuck you's They have arrived and I think they will win the Cup You heard it here first. In the meantime, if there is one game to just fucking shine baybee, tomorrow is it. I want to watch The Glorious Habs stuff those annoying fluffed up know it all anointed cup winning armpitians. Bring on the dumpster fire We better have a goalie working for us. GGH
Sorry CHester, have to disagree about the Bisons. They are flying right now no doubt about it. But, I question their goaltending. They are a super young team, like the Glorious Habs. They haven't played a playoff game in 15 long years. The Habs dynamic duo of NickCole went to the Finals in 2021. They have a good idea what it takes. Anyway, if the Habs only win one game this week it has to be tomorrow night. Stick the shiv in the leaf side. GYFHG
The M and I are as one on this. Don't believe the hype. The slog is long. They did look ferocious in that game but they have to keep it up. We shall see.
1. Had somebody in the Top 10 league overall scoring? Captain Nature 2. Had somebody in the Top 10 goal scorers? CC Whiskey 3. Had somebody in the Top 10 defencemen for scoring? Rock Fast Lane Hutson
The sfu will be focused on their leaf --- they always are --- even more so this year because of the epic fail of their shite team.

I don't know what they think they will be getting for these guys but there is clearly delerium in the armpit
The hilarity continues
GGH
They did get their first rounder for Nick Roy. And a conditional 5th.
DeleteLet the rebuild begin!
I certainly wouldn't sell the farm for Robert Thomas but a rental that might make sense for HuGo is Vincent Trocheck from the Rags. A second round pick and a B prospect or a deferred pick might get it done. Gorton knows this guy from his Rag days, he would shore up the second line with a veteran presence, he wants to stay east, why not spend a couple months in Montreal *cough* Chez Paree *cough* ...
ReplyDeleteEven though he's a trumper I could look the other way...
I'd be OK-ish with that...but the only guy I'd really like to see is Ristolainen (sp?) as that RD we're missing.
DeleteYes, him too but I've read Briere is asking for large for him.

Deleteonly a few hrs until the deadline and all quiet so far.
ReplyDeletewhat do you guys want?
- do something for D?
- do something for GK?
- do something for FW?
- do nothing?
personally, ide like to do nothing, but i feel the pressure is too big to resist.
instead, ide like to see them rotate wool back into the line-up w/ veleno, kidG, tex, duck, 7evans, powerhorse...
and wifi rotated in w/ carrier, and stubble
I'd just like to see them play better defence and not run around chasing the puck like kids playing house league U10 hockey. Play better D and your goalie stats will improve automatically.
ReplyDeleteIf they were to pick up an experienced 2C it would up their chances to compete.
The tsn panel now discussing their leaf.
ReplyDeleteTo sum up : They are bad.
So much pearl clutching ... hilarious!
DeleteRefinishing hardwood floors this morning. First time trying this and it's going OK. The sanding the past couple of days took much longer than expected because the previous owners had refinished them and did a horrible job leaving streaks of thick stain, which I basically had to grind off.
ReplyDeleteBut once after much searching I found the right applicator, the first coat went on well this morning. Just putting a clear coat on, not a fan of dark stains. 3 hours til the 2nd coat. And some electrical to do while I wait. If you don't hear from me later, that maybe didn't go well...
Oh and is there anything happening in hockey today?
I know the Brier playoffs are starting soon!
I did that once. Took five coats to reach acceptability and it could've easily done with a 6th. So courage!

ReplyDeleteAre they still talking about their leaf ?
ReplyDeleteThey have been since McMann was traded to Seattle
DeleteDrou-Mez goes to St. Louis in the Schenn trade.
Saint Patrick saw enough of him.
I only tuned in briefly earlier in the day and they were lauding the great Scott Laughton and pontificating on the huge return he might bring.
ReplyDeleteGuess it'll be one of those last minute blockbusters...
And there it is. A conditional 3rd. Wow!
DeleteThe leaf weren't getting much for any of those slugs.
DeleteLucky to get a conditional first for Nic Roy.
They are in for a long rebuild despite what Pelley says.
So cocacoleaf guy isn’t happy with the Habs.
ReplyDeleteGo fuck yourself.
No big trades, maybe Michael Hage will be the big acquisition.
ReplyDeleteHey, maybe it's Wool.
DeleteThe Jackal going back to Colorado.
ReplyDeleteKind of happy
ReplyDeleteDidn't see much of anything for Les Glorieux out there
Glad the jackal stays out west far away POS
So the dumpster fire got a conditional first a couple of seconds and some gravel for their big three and mostly next year

This is gonna be a long long wait for the armpitians if it even ever arrives

So how do they handle Wool now? Activate him and send someone dowm they'll likely lose on the waiver wire? Or do they have to keep him on IR until someone else gets hurt?

I remember that trade vividly wondering wtf the leaf were thinking.
DeleteMe too, couldn't believe the Habs got a really skilled winger for a goon, even if he was a really good goon.
DeleteThat's what leaf coach John Brophy wanted his team to be, a bunch of tough guys.
I'll watch the first period but I won't record the game.
ReplyDeleteI always end up being disappointed doing that.
Maybe we’ll get 110 volts in the first period.
DeleteStay UP TheM.
Habs fans are going to be enjoying some really bad leaf teams for a few years at least.
ReplyDeleteThere is no quick fix to be had.
They will be forced to trade Matthews at some point, just like Kessel.
I know we shouldn't have negative nick names for our players, but if (when) Monty let's in his bad goal(s), I'm gonna call him Yoko.

ReplyDeleteComedy of errors
ReplyDeleteBad pinch by Dob
Clumsy non-clear by klutzy Math
Those two shouldn't be together.
SOGs aren’t close
ReplyDeleteBlood pressure rising.
ReplyDeleteLosing interest rapidly.
My God this defence is awful.
16-1
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should have used your time out Marty?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you saving it for?
They just look spent.
ReplyDeleteSince the Habs have the WORST record of any team to play in California the last 10 years,
ReplyDeletehow about they just forfeit the 6 points and save themselves the travel and bother of going.
Take the week off instead.

ReplyDeleteHabs put fried man in his place. Fucking piece of 💩.
ReplyDeleteLove watching them talk aboit how low their Leaf might be able to drop in the standings.
ReplyDeleteThey’ve got nothing else.
DeleteThe hilarious thing about cuthurt and simpleton is if they aren’t soaking hard on leaf cork, they sound even stupider than they actually are.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks it's time to bring in a proper D coach
ReplyDeleteMe also thinks Marty might not play well with others
Shots are always 2-1 at least and with the sieve in every second game, a goalie who does well in close, but can't stop shit from the blue line, something has to give and that would be our wild card spot
We better start playing some serious D and soon cause we won't last long in the playoffs

ReplyDeleteOuf !
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! GYFHG!!
ReplyDeleteTake the 3 points, come home, rest up and destroy the sfu’s team.
ReplyDeleteRough night for me.
ReplyDeleteGot home from curling to the news that my oldest brother, the Habs fan, has passed away. RIP Kev.
I tuned in to see the final two goals. I feel this win was for him.
But before tuning in, at the same time I got that bad news, Mrs Pad dropped the 4 litre container of chilli we made on her foot, the container shattered and we got chilli splatter across the floor and up the walls that would make Dexter queasy. I think the foot isn't broken at least. And we salvaged half of it (stayed in the container, not scraped off the floor).
My bro was not well for a long time, on dialysis for a long time and recently moved into a care facility. But that said, it is one of those unexpected but not surprising things. He was only 62.
Now in his honour, just keep winning and bring the cup back home. He was a huge Ken Dryden fan, so let's have Doobie channel #29 for the rest of the season. LFG.
Incredibly sad for you St. Pad.
DeleteSympathies to you and your family. ✌🏻
So sorry for your loss Pad...RIP
DeleteVery sorry to hear this, St. Pad. Hope your bro got to enjoy this high octane team, second in the league in goals scored per game behind only Colorado, on the telly like us. My condolences to you and your family.
Deletesorry for your loss.
DeleteSorry to hear St Pad. Condolences to you and family.

Sympathies to St Pad
ReplyDeleteAlways tough

I'll have to make The Toronto Star one of my inteplex stops going forward.
ReplyDeleteThe cynical savagery written about The Dumpster Fire is a glorious thing to experience.
From Captain Underpants to berububby
( the pimple that must be popped ) to bradly and the man scotty
All savaged as stupid morans ill suited to their roles and void of any smarts talent knowhow or give a fucks.
Hilarity
This can only get better
The quote was "nowhere to go and six weeks to get there "
Hilarity
On a diff note
Time for The Glorious Habs to return home reset reboot refocus and unleash on The Dumpster Fire
GGH
Ok sorry
ReplyDeleteLast one
The Dumpster Fire doesn't have a first round pick till 2028!
They have the av's pick 2027 which should be at the bottom of the round
So the year that they are bouncing along the bottom, they don't have a pic
Hilarity
What management skills!
GGH
Expecting a team of kids to have to score 5 or 6 goals every game is too much. MSL has to stop with the Monty love. He is a fucking sieve. Doobie might not be perfect but he's better than Monty right now and he must play more. I know March is a busy month with lots of hockey to play...but if the Habs wanna be in the mix (in a good way) Doobie needs the net on most nights. Ride him till he breaks. You can sense the Habs griping their sticks a little bit harder with Monty in the net - they know that pretty much any shot on goal is likely to go in and that can really impact their game.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't wrong. Time for another conditioning stint in Laval for Monty, and bring up the K-man (Birdman, having just come back from a brutal flu recovery after losing ten pounds, needs a bit of time to get his strength back one imagines).
DeleteAgree
DeleteMontemohno can't see one coming from the blue line
Go doobie
GGH
First, let me add to the condolences to Saint Paddy on the loss of his brother.
ReplyDeleteI lost a brother 30 years ago so I can understand.
Second, I've been battling a bad sinus infection the last few days so my energy level is really low.
I watched the first two periods last night, they were playing so poorly I didn't see a path to victory so I bailed and went to bed. But, I had this site on my tablet and kept refreshing and lo and behold they pulled out the win. I hope the Habs got out of the 'Crypt' before the LAPD was called for grand theft larceny. Kudos to Doobie Bro, Nature and Slafsquatch for manufacturing that minor miracle.
It was funny to hear mclame and pos fried man discussing the leaf Tank. Glorious.
Finally, time to cut bait on Red Light Montanblow. Put him on waivers and send him to Laval for good. If someone claims him that's fine, they got him for nothing so no assets would be lost.
Bring up the Birdman as the backup going forward or Kaapo.
Ride Doobie hard the rest of the way.
Hey, Pittsburgh sent Tristan Jarry to the AHL last year so it's not unprecedented.
Thanks for the kind words FHFriends. Onward and upward.
ReplyDeleteLori (Habather) noted that they play 2 back to backs this week. 2 of those games cannot be entrusted to Yoko. So I am in agreement. Waive him and bring up Kakko til Fowler is fully recovered.
She's bang on.
DeleteMarty can't afford to throw away any points with Yoko any more.
Bring up Fowler and bring up Bach.
Put Guhle on the left side with Roch, Bach with Hutson.
As Brian Wilde has pointed out, Fast Lane is their BEST D at protecting a lead. The numbers are there.
And yes, please sit Old KidG on the b2b's, Tex can more than fill his shoes.
Bach can’t be worse but I’ve watched some games recently and despite his skill and smarts he doesn’t use his size. Playoffs require D size and using it.
DeleteI would give him some games before the playoffs.
DeleteThey don't need a hitter at the moment, just someone to get the lefties on the left and who can skate the puck out of trouble if need be.
Looking at playoff possibilities, the Habs won't be playing any headhunters like Washington in the first round.
ReplyDeleteMore likely Detroit, Buffalo or Tampa.
These will be more skill than brute force series. No Tom Wilsons on those clubs.
Have you ever been knee deep in Kimchi. Well I haVE AND IT changed me. I dont go near anywhere with cabbage growing. The Leaf are knee deep in Kimchi and I got to tell you there is no elegant way out. The USA has entered the same vegativie state. The last of us is a great show, for me way to woke but I can work through it. America has taken its woke empire and gone against the Zombies. Its popcorn time.
ReplyDeleteThere always was the scent of horse

Happy International Women's Day to all international women around the globe. May we keep our young men far from the clutches of the backward, growing manosphere, where they hope to return to commodifying women.
ReplyDelete💯
DeleteWho traffics the most women, its not Iran or Russia. It is the great satan and the Epstien files prove that hands down.
DeleteWhat a wild game last night as Buffalo moves into first place with an 8-7 win over T-Bay.
ReplyDeleteOdd choice for the bolts to play Vasilesky vs the lowly leaf on Saturday and their backup vs Buffalo.
I guess they're using Marty's theory from last season of getting the sure win vs the weaker opponent.
Anyway, Habs have 20 games left. If they only win one of those game, make it the next one.
Goaltending dilemma right off the bat.
ReplyDeleteDo you play Doobie against the leaf and throw away the Ottawa game with Yoko?
If I were deciding I'd bring up Fowler for tomorrow and play Doobie Wednesday.
Man Barfalo has come alive.
ReplyDeleteWatching the hilites last night of the tampon bay game and barfalo took no shit
There was many angry moments of oh ya fuck you's
They have arrived and I think they will win the Cup
You heard it here first.
In the meantime, if there is one game to just fucking shine baybee, tomorrow is it.
I want to watch The Glorious Habs stuff those annoying fluffed up know it all anointed cup winning armpitians.
Bring on the dumpster fire
We better have a goalie working for us.
GGH
Sorry CHester, have to disagree about the Bisons.
DeleteThey are flying right now no doubt about it.
But, I question their goaltending.
They are a super young team, like the Glorious Habs.
They haven't played a playoff game in 15 long years.
The Habs dynamic duo of NickCole went to the Finals in 2021.
They have a good idea what it takes.
Anyway, if the Habs only win one game this week it has to be tomorrow night.
Stick the shiv in the leaf side.
GYFHG
The M and I are as one on this. Don't believe the hype. The slog is long. They did look ferocious in that game but they have to keep it up. We shall see.
DeleteThe big question is by bringing back the Commander, did the Bolts assure themselves of a Stanley Cup Final loss?
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time the Habs :
ReplyDelete1. Had somebody in the Top 10 league overall scoring? Captain Nature
2. Had somebody in the Top 10 goal scorers? CC Whiskey
3. Had somebody in the Top 10 defencemen for scoring? Rock Fast Lane Hutson
Yes it was a long time ago in a place far away.
DeleteThe Tampon Bay Dolts are, and always have, been a bunch of dirty fuckers.
ReplyDeleteTrash team and trash coach.
