Can we hope for a great comment from JHK tonight?
if he hasn't OD'd, YES WE CAN
Is it wrong that when I saw the picture you posted, 29, I thought to myself - "Good pic, but it's not my favourite one"?
No?
Good.
Carry on with your non-productive day, then...
LG do you prefer this one?
Sarkozy is not impressed...
Yes we can....bow chicka wow wow.
Could be a good game tonight despite the Thrashers poor record. Seems like we have many good games up in Montreal--not always true in Atlanta though.
How about you give us something for M. Schneider before the game so he can switch locker rooms? :)
29 - yup. That's the one!!
Seriously, I'm creeped out by the fact that I find the President really hot...
@ LG77: Obama's the new Kennedy, and everyone thought Kennedy was hot. These things are cyclical.
For instance, James K. Polk was known as "The Carolina Cutie" during his time as President. True story. Women LOVED the Polkster.
Some people thought Bill Clinton was hot too. At least parts of him...
10 - You wouldn't happen to have taken Gil Troy's History classes at McGill, would you? 'Cause that was something we covered (I shit you not)!!!
My word verification is "renspect" - how appropriate given the Queen of Soul's performance this morning!
Be fun to see President Obama's first Stanley Cup at the WhiteHouse shindig be for the Habs.
Y'know, cynicism aside, Obama really seems to mean what he says when he speaks about 'remaking America'.
My Dad, being from India, always talks about how well loved the US is there. They actually still see the States as the 'Shining beacon on a hill', where anyone can make a good life for themselves through hard work and a little luck. They view Americans as always aspiring to those ideals of freedom, sacrifice and generally being good shits to each other.
Every so often, you'll see glimpses of that kind of attitude among Americans. I'd really love to see an attitude shift back towards that in the coming years.
Also, Rick DiPietro is out for the season. Teehee!
Can the habs get scored on three times in one minute against the Thrashers? YES THEY CAN, so watch out
I was just reading HF4's post at Habs I/O and noticed this:
"The flags on the cars are a phenomenon that has created cheap and easy access to what fans desire most: a way to profess public adulation and support for their team"
and
"One must wonder how the complexion of this team would be impacted by a meeting of the minds that has eluded this dressing room since they were first brought together."
Uhhh, english please.
If Obama can be president then Vinnie can be a Hab.
Choose hope people.
dipietro is out for the season. Yann Danis is now their starting goalie until MacDonald gets healthy.
Time to get the Taveres jersey ready.
We should trade them Halak and Brisebois for Streit.
DiPietro injured? Shocking!
Haha, I guess that 10+ year contract came back to bite them! On a totally unrelated note, why haven't we traded the farm for Lecavalier yet?!
Does an injured player count against the salary cap?
hey look hockey! politics in the what now?
my god the lower bowl is 3/4 empty. you can hear a pin drop
Wow... haven't seen such an empty NHL arena in ages.
Did anyone also get a visual of a mug of Tim Hortons coffee during the national anthems on RDS?
@fez: If a player is placed on the IR list, their salary doesn't count against the cap until they are reactivated. This is the problem in Philly right now, because Briere was put on the IR, Philly added salary, and now Briere is stuck in the minors!
At least that's how I understand it.
I was hoping to catch the Other Lemieux tonight against the Canucks, but alas the game is PPV only. Guess I'll just go to the dentist instead.
No, really. dental appointment right after work. Someone take notes on the game tonight and tell me which is worse, a couple of fillings or a 6-0 Atlanta victory.
Oh no, Jaro...
Speaking of empty seats
1.0 Thrash.
Ca-rey! Ca-rey!
Question:
If a team wins a game and nobody is there to see it, does it count for 2 points in the standings?
I think I figured out why Atlanta's in 29th place.
Can I get a witness?
No we can't.
Y'know, cynicism aside, Obama really seems to mean what he says when he speaks about 'remaking America'.
Best part is he doesn't claim anything is going to be easy, but instead of asking the citizens to go shopping while he runs the Constitution through a shredder to keep people "safe," he seems to ask people to work hard along with him to fix the mess. I know this is the first political campaign I ever got involved in.
Every so often, you'll see glimpses of that kind of attitude among Americans. I'd really love to see an attitude shift back towards that in the coming years.
You're not the only one. An awful lot of Americans want to see the same thing.
oh Van Hab, we're well on our way to 6-0 now!
ooof.
What is the fucking deal with the RDS feed on Center Ice!? There are no ads (which is great) but we get to hear Pierre babble on and on during any TV breaks.
I also have no score and time feature at the top of the screen.
/mock applause at save
Shit. looks like I'm going to have to volunteer for a root canal just to keep up with this shitshow.
good job RDS statheads! Habs undefeated on Inauguration days, eh? that's one streak coming to an end soon
those in-game interviews are pissing me off. COACH FOR FUCK'S SAKE CARBO
Shitty first period... I'd probably be better off taking a nap, watching the Australian Open or doing the dishes.
Max Pac needs to go back to Hamilton.
kevincrumbs - Its fun looking at the ATL jumbotron for such a long time on teh RDS feed! Quick - text a message to the # on the jumbotron and see if we see it!
Ca-rey! Ca-rey!
fuck this shit. TFS is coming in! Let's hope he doesn't immediately get crippled.
Get Halak out NOW.
New pads?
You touch a Tit, a Tit touches you!
YES WE CAN!
There's having patience as a shooter, then there's waiting until you're behind the net. SHOOT THE PUCK!
We've got a game now...
I don't think they've gotten a shot on Carey yet.
Wait, what are they reviewing?
See what happens when you put it on net? Amazing, isn't it?
a redirect is not a kicking motion. The boys are apparently wanting to get Carey a win.
How will we know if they're chanting "Car-ey" or "Kar-i"?
What about the nifty brown pads from the ESPN article? Are those only for Vintage games?
fucking videotron internet vanishes in the middle of a comeback. so many lame comments missed!
cmon finish it boys
@Beta - i love those pads. yes, vintage games only
slashing? obstruction?? something?
Mathieu Schneider would look good in a Habs jersey.
quelle présence !
if only you could fucking score
TTBB...that's definately rich!!! So why the F-U-C-K do we play so sad against the bottom feeders?
Who is the ING Direct dude?
fuck fuck fuck
this game is a mess
That drum is really annoying but not as annoying as that last goal.
We deserve to lose this game.
How on earth are we losing this game?
Wow, they don't even care, do they? Sorry folks, I don't care about the nice record over the last month. You lose to NYI, Tampa and Thrashers and barely squeak out wins against other bottom feeders, you're in trouble. I don't care how many points they add up or what injuries they've had, games like these prove to me I'll be bored come the 2nd round. They're not one-offs, they're becoming the norm.
Mankey sheet
Should have started with Price and stopped shooting directly at Lehtonen's glove.
So I'm back from the dentist, what did I miss?
Ah, 4-2 eh? better than the 6-0 I predicted.
No cavities! better than the two I expected.
I feel fantastic!
See you guys tomorrow! Shanny'll get what, two goals?
I'm a pleasantly surprised by the outcome, considering how badly Montreal out-shot Atlanta in the 3rd. Three wins in a row for Thrashers. I need to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming. I can't believe Kovlachuk missed on that early 2nd period chance.
