The Morning Skate for Fri - HOLY FUCKING HELL TRAINING CAMP STARTS TODAY!!!

Bullet points for what you missed while dreaming of the Euros kicking the Americans' asses once again...
  • As you may have noticed from the headline, training camp begins today with the Habs vets coming in for physicals and fitness tests. There's actually a fucking game on Monday! WOOOO!!!!! Go Hockey! Pants!
  • RDS has announced that once again all Habs games will be on the intertubes. Only $2.99 per game! Only $80 for the season! Cash grab!
Sorry for ending this very exciting TMS on a downer, but we would not be Canadian, or sports fans, if we didn't mention the passing of CFL legend Ron Lancaster at the age of 69. Phenomenal QB, coach, and broadcaster, he was the CFL. RIP.

Well done my Boyos for remembering Lancaster.

My Dad and Uncle played some mean football for Loyola and McGill in the 50's, in fact dad scored the last Canadian college 6 pointer at Molson Stadium I think...but could be wrong. Loyola hall of fame types...

Whatever. I'm bragging because I miss both of them.

Point being: They LOVED Lancaster, he was really, REALLY solid apparently, superb player. Very fucking good in other words, and in the CFL, not that American upstart.

Good on you guys for giving him some respect. You really are decent
cunts.

Cheers,
