"Ladies and Gentlemen, on stage for your dancing pleasure, the Toronto Maple Leafs" - Game Preview and Open Thread

Sorry Travis, we never got to you in our stripperriffic Road Trip preview. But we couldn't let this GG11 classic go to waste.

Holy. Fuck. This is it. No more bullshit, no more waiting, no more nothing. Except hockey. We've given you enough season preview over the last couple of weeks to last a lifetime, so let's just dive right in to a good old-fashioned game preview. Hmmm, how does this go again?

Waiting in line details - 7 PM start at the ACC. Game is on RDS (of course) and CBC. Hockey Night is Thursday now. Habs were 4-3-1, Leafs were 6-2 in the meaningless pre-season. Habs playing the first of five on the road. Habs and Leafs split 6 games last year.

Pay your cover charge to - Pension Plan Puppets of course for the opener. Dive right into the heart of Leafs Nation and tell them they suck.

Hot sexy Habs to watch - Brian Gionta was the star of the pre-season for the Habs, with 4G 1A in 4 games.

Skanky Habs to watch - TFS fell apart at the end of last season. Or did he? Maybe it was just part of some master scheme of his to prove he wasn't Patrick Roy, thus reducing expectaitons and taking the pressure off. Ha, good luck with that in this city. BGL better rebound from a load of crap last year and pound somebody's ass, or we're going to be annoyed. Well, more than we normally are.

Hot sexy Leafs to watch - I barely even know who's on their team. Is Mats Sundin still there? Dave Keon? Seriously, this Viktor Stalberg kid may be good.

Douche-y Leafs to watch - Newly-minted Leafs assistant captain, Mike something-or-other. I forgot his name. But I'm sure you'll be able to find him on the ice.

Not dancing due to too many vodka Red Bulls - Our Boy Chips is with the team but not playing. It's OK, last year when he was playing they would just send him down to Hamilton anyway. Leafs saviour Phil Kessel is out til mid-November, and D Mike Van Ryn is also on IR.

In the VIP Room - insert long-winded blah blah blah about "gelling" (jelling?) here.

Post-game adult entertainment establishment - only the best for the season opener, The Landing Strip. Out near the airport, but well worth the drive.

We've waited more than 5 months to say these magical words once again: let's hear your dirty, dirty thoughts in the comments. And of course, Go Pants.

Accidentally read some comments at HI/O earlier. Had to hurry here and douse myself in gasoline to ward off infection...

Anyone got an extra ticket for tonight?

Go Hockey!

Hadulf said...

Nothing to add, really. Just fucking hope the Habs crush the Leafs and that The Traitor gets to look like a pylon withour Markov.

Oh, I've asked this before and did not get an answer...I know who "TFS" is, what does it stand for?

Dave said...

Je suis content ce matin. 82 games - none played. Everything is possible.

Including a 7-64-11 record.

Young HF29 said...

@Hadulf - The Franchise Saviour. He has about 3 games before we possibly need to remove that moniker

Ben Dugas said...

Check out the TSN Leafs season preview. The video is at the top of their list. At the 5:30 mark this happens:

TSN: Obviously the Leafs have done a lot with their Defence and goaltending but what do you say to those that say you're lacking talent up front?
Komi: Oh we're not concerned we all know we've got tons of talent up front with Kessel... Grabovski (pauses as he tries to remember if that's the guy who couldn't make MTL's 4th line two seasons ago) and uh, Blakey... yeah, we've got TONS of talent up front.

Montrealiste1 said...

Blake is still on the first line and Toskala is still goaltending... Get ready for a long season leafs fan.

Burke please continue picking up our Belarussian trash and put'em on the second line. Sergei is available.

Cant wait to see squid skating in circles aroung Dou$hness.

Kate said...

Okay, my turn to ask. What does Go Pants mean?

Young HF29 said...

I am not here to answer questions about the past.

OK, one more just cause Moey rules. Jeff in Hong Kong used to sign off his comments with "Pants" (as in "i'm totally fucked up on coke and need to find my pants", or something), which at some point got turned into the rallying cry of "Go Pants"

CivilizedWorm said...

If BGL doesn't put the fucking beatdown on komo-eatshit&die-sarek I'm going to be pissed.

South Shore Habs Fan said...

The Traitor would actually get credit for taking on the league's heavyweight champion, though. I don't feel like hearing about how he "stood up for his teammates". Now, if Gionta were to lay a smack-down on him...


Jesus Christ, it even feels like hockey today!

Boob Gainey said...

BGL will never fight Laraque. It's against the code.

The only fight will be a staged one with Colton Orr. It will last 8 seconds, and end with Orr a crumpled but unhurt mass at BGL's feet.

Alrighty then. It would appear that my slow and steady slide into the gutter has been completed. Apparently I thought an '@' sign on a stripper's wallet was completely appropriate. My apologies to all my liberal, feminist, vegan friends out there.

1. "Sorry, kid couldn't finish his homework" notes all prepared
2. Has-never-fallen-asleep-on-the-remote-in-overtime-but-isn't-all-that-interested-for-the-most-part DrGG on call so no cooking necessary (now THAT is w00t!!!!!!!!!!)
3. 3 year old's eye stitched and healing from last night's 'oy vay' (translation: weekly threat of having to go to the Children's fulfilled)
4. Pizza ordered!

Here's to a season that hopefully won't totally suck or at least lure us into thinking that they won't suck and then completely change directions so that they are fighting for the 8th and final playoff spot in April. That really fucks up Passover. Go Habs!

GoldenGirl11 said...

The Landing Strip Open Monday to Friday from noon to 2 A.M. - Saturday from 6 P.M. to 2 A.M.

I thought it was a Laff blog so I checked. Gentlemen? After you leave your executive office with it's own bathroom so you probably never flush, is this where you go for lunch? I mean really.

Scott in Montreal said...

@ Boob Gainey:

BGL will never fight Laraque. It's against the code.

You're saying our favourite vegan refuses to put a whupping on himself? There goes my pet explanation for his bad back.

Boob Gainey said...

"BGL will never fight Laraque. It's against the code."

Fuck me!

vthabsfan said...

Hi, I have never posted before but have enjoyed the banter for quite some time. As with the new faces on the team, I thought that I would introduce myself. My name is Mike, I like biking, jogging, movies and going out to dinner, as well as quiet nights in front of the fire... and beer.. and the Habs... and uh.. all kinds of porn. I'm not a jew but in spite of living in rural Vermont I do know of one.

Montrealiste1 said...

Thats how the Grabowski-Little tits feud started...

Habsfan10 said...

Go you fucking pants go!

too close to toronto said...

actually 29, if you wouldn't mind my grabbing that baton/conch, i can fill in the blanks on the "go pants" phenomenon...

as i recall it, shortly before jeff from hong kong first signed off with "Pants", "Go hockey" became the rallying cry du jour. then along came JHK posting "Pants" as its own paragraph and "go hockey!" became "go hockey! go pants!", and then eventually, just "go pants".

so i tied an onion to my belt...

whatever. go pants.

WV: comeater - I kid you not. Insert own Maguire/Doucharek joke.

L Dude said...

Ooh, the decisions. Just borrowed Season 3 of Dexter. Should I watch that or the game? Anybody see it yet? Suggestions?

Kate said...

@HF29 & to close, I should have know it came from JHK. Thanks for the info.

@GG11,

But what a lovely gutter you have! Love what you've done with the cobwebs. It's the little touches, like the aquarium with the piranha that make it so special. Not to mention the room freshner "eau du cadaver", it's simply divine!


@vthabsfan,

Thought you had mistaken FHF for eharmony for a minute, until you got to the porn.


Oh yeah, and go pants!

L Dude said...

See Dexter yet I mean. Also let me know if you've seen the game. I've got some Back to the Future gambling to get to.

WV: couti

Maguire to Douche: "That's it couti. Splooge all over me you MONSTER!"

GoldenGirl11 said...

@Moey
Thought you had mistaken FHF for eharmony for a minute, until you got to the porn.
I was going to say J-Date...

Kate said...

@GG11,

He might not meet the man/woman of his dreams here, but you'd be hard pressed to find a site with a finer bunch of guttersnipes. FHF rocks!

moeom said...

0 days 3 hrs 13 mins 15secs till game time.

Oh my god, my headache is too much. Freakin Hockey Fantasy Pool!!!

vthabsfan said...

ahh... the snark...

Every ,morning I find that I have to distract my young daughter just long enough to see if the current FHF is even remotely appropriate for young eyes. I should've given up by now.

@TCTT - thx for filling in the meth-induced blanks in my memory

2h 20m. can i start drinking yet?

KML said...

@29 - Do you even have to ask?

Go you fucking pants / Habs go!

Young HF29 said...

@KML - it was rhetorical. i started drinking at noon.

moeman some of your finest work yet. interesting tidbit - according to his website, Tommy Tutone is still alive.

moeman said...

@ hf29, hope he doesn't sue FHFs for royalties.

GoldenGirl11 said...

@vt
I actually encourage my 15 year old to read it but he finds that there's too much swearing (this from the boy that has used profanity. Out loud. In synangogue.)

punkster said...

Three items:
1) Your clock is moving v-e-r-y s--l--o--w.
2) Thanks for helping me make it through the past 6 months without resorting to hallucinogens.
3) The Landing Strip is THE BEST FUCKING BAR IN THE GREATER FUCKING METRO TARANNA AREA.

Habs...all the way baby.

moeman said...

The beauty of The Landing Strip is that 67% of the danseuses are from Montréal/Québec.

moeman said...

When did Gill CHange his name from Hal to Al?

William J said...

Auuugh!
I'm at the office. I was planning on ducking out right after an after-lunch meeting to get home and watch the game. Alas, it's 3:17 and said meeting hasn't begun yet.

Good thing I keep a fifth of rye in my desk.

And a lubricated spaniel in the filing cabinet.

Boob Gainey said...

Predictions:

Orr - Laraque go in the 1st period. Win to Laraque.

4 goals in regulation time.

Habs get 7 power plays. Go 0 for 7.

Nothing happens to Komi or Garbitchky.

McGuire says lots of totally pointless stuff at high speed and volume (like " the new guys really have to step up").

kevincrumbs said...

What a crock of shit... US$160 for Center Ice and tonight's game isn't even in HD.

J.T. said...

Hey guys, I see Boone's calling the three Ass Caps and their helpers the "Counsel of Elders." Is immitation the sincerest form of flattery, or just another word for stealing a good line?

Young HF29 said...

you know what im really excited about? seeing what happens to the javascript countdown when it hits all zeroes

kevincrumbs said...

@HF29: I'm predicting that we'll get one of the girls from the Landing Strip to jump out of the screen.

GoldenGirl11 said...

Just thinking about the game makes me feel like I need a good douche*. If only I had a Komi one in the bathroom cabinet. Sigh.

*Do not try at home. Dr GGyne discourages use of said feminine hygiene product. Komi or otherwise.

lawyergirl77 said...

ZOMG - 15 minutes and 4 secs! For Realz!!

All is ready at casa de LG77:
- Chili? Done - simmering on stove?
- Cornmeal biscuits? Done - ready to be baked in 5 minutes so that they're good 'n hot for the game (yes, you're supposed to take that in that way)
- Cake? Currently baking (for those of you keeping score at home - it's lemon/raspberry)
- Spinach dip à la Bâton Rouge? Done. So. Good.

Drinks - Mr. LG77 is about to start spinnin' the margaritas.

BRING IT ON, BABY!!

(Now where are my friends? They're late?)

kevincrumbs said...

Just cracked open a Fin du Monde to celebrate the start of the season. Also, since I don't have hot dog buns, I'm going to make them Bell Centre style with toasted white bread instead.

Most likely they'll turn out awful, hopefully unlike tonight's game. Go Habs Go.

moeman said...

Just got back from Guelph.

Sleemans Red.

GoldenGirl11 said...

@LG
Similar but not totally the same. In order to have the perfect environment I have a few rituals which make the game all the more enjoyable....

15 year old locked in basement closet - check
13 year old locked out of house (long story just easier that way) - check
10 year old locked in upstairs bathroom - check
3 year old stuck in laundry chute. Again - check
No friends so no one late.

Glasses have been located so I don't have to sit 3 inches from the set. Wine is breathing as am I.

Bring it on.

moeman said...

I miss Saku.

moeman said...

As the clock CHimes; Drop the Fucking puck!!

Young HF29 said...

w00t! i like the "drop the fucking puck" when the countdown hit zero. who programmed that?

johnny walker green label? check. meth hit? check. allez les pantalons.

kevincrumbs said...

Man, this pregame bagpipe stuff is so Upper Canada.

GoldenGirl11 said...

RDS showed top 10 goals from last year (Koivu poking the puck up to Plek!) and only 1 pure laine @ #10. Don't they just want to forget last year?

Rips it, scores! said...

Hockey's back!

WEEEEE!!!!!!


This season can only be better than last season's shit flan.

kevincrumbs said...

Ugh... four minutes into the season and I already want Don Cherry to shut the fuck up.

lawyergirl77 said...

Fuck - people are late (stuck in traffic).

I've paused the game.

The RDS HD logo is fucking taunting me...

lawyergirl77 said...

GG11 - I was surprised by the retrospective too. But I had forgotten that poke up to Pleks from Captain K.

Sigh.

I was happier before I remembered he wasn't going to be playing tonight.

kevincrumbs said...

The Leafs skate out to a Marilyn Manson song? HAHAHAHA!

GoldenGirl11 said...

Put the players in suits to class them up and then let them chew gum like cows. I may lock my kids up and drink but I would NEVER chew gum on camera.

Boos for Douchie!

moeman said...

Those weird blue&white clad acc fans are burkian dogs, ring a truculent bell and they salivate.

kevincrumbs said...

Already four minutes in in the Caps/Bruins game while the fucking ACC still draws out their fucking ceremony.

Dave said...

My god Leaf fans are so fucking dealing with fucked up bottled up emotions that lead them to cheer like semi-mute tentative creatures.

moeman said...

Cassie still milking it.

Wonder if her interviewing skills improved over the summer.

GoldenGirl11 said...

@Moeman
Why. Do. You. Think. Cassie. is. Stiff?

Dave said...

Number 81 Phil Kessel!

"Uh...yes,...I think I may like him...but I'm so shy...uh..happy he's here....uh...can anyboy hear my thoughts?....clap, clap, clap....."

weirdos.

Dave said...

Here's our first hint as to the next captain.

moeman said...

heh @GG11. Good one, maybe Cassie isn't hard-nosed enough.

Nice to see the Habs fans in attendance (loudly) cheer on Mario.

Dave said...

"Sing? They want us to sing? Oh, no..."

weirdos.

GoldenGirl11 said...

Can we call him Saku Gionta?

OMG! They assemble Team Canada from forever ago and can't get an anthem singer? Cheap bastards.

moeman said...

Ron Ellis had the roundest helmet ever.

WV = dembac, as in bring dembac dose Cups dat belong in Montréal.

Young HF29 said...

do they not see the countdown clock? drop the fucking puck

Dave said...

moeman + 1

HF29: GAME ON BABY

Young HF29 said...

meh. all that hype, the fight wasn't worth the PPV fees

moeman said...

WV = dembled, as in dembled or not?

GoldenGirl11 said...

Very weird. My insanely knowledgeable kid just said "ok who's #6?" as if we we're watching an unknown team. My reaction. Courtnall.

So that's what BGL looks like when he fights! How unVeganish.

moeman said...

@GG11, BGL was pounding a tomato (can).

HFF33 aka Panger said...

Ping!!

See things are going TFS' way already.

GoldenGirl11 said...

@Moeman
And thank god! He hasn't had a decent meal in forever!

Young HF29 said...

oy we're being outplayed. im not happy already

admin said...

double oy

kevincrumbs said...

It looks like it's going to be another night giving up 40+ shots. I thought Martin was supposed to change that?

Dave said...

So far, I'm enjoying the game.

I just don't know why.

Boob Gainey said...

like the booing of Komo.

Boob Gainey said...

Komisarek hits Gomez in the face.

moeman said...

cbc = leaf fan boy$.

Also, 'the big (s)hits will come'. ~ healy

GoldenGirl11 said...

Like watching Ajax dry on a Jay cloth. Bleh.

Boob Gainey said...

It's going to be a long year.

Soft team. Not paying the price.

Crap defence.

Cancel the parade!

moeman said...

Not hockey.

Young HF29 said...

the undercard was better than the main event

kevincrumbs said...

Can we win a fucking faceoff?

kevincrumbs said...

Thanks Komi!

moeman said...

Gionta!

Young HF29 said...

the PP could be good

Anonymous said...

THE PARADE IS BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!

GoldenGirl11 said...

I feel the the Ajax soaping up. A goal with fuckface in the box. Baruch Hashem.

Boob Gainey said...

Fuck you Komisarek.

moeman said...

Boob meant tuck you Komisarek.

Anonymous said...

"et latendresse qui rate un filet ouvert"... ugh

moeman said...

Fuck you Hal Gill.

kevincrumbs said...

Oh man... Gill is indeed the new Breezer... except slower.

Young HF29 said...

FUCK!

ah, i miss saying that

Boob Gainey said...

Hal Gill.

What was Gainey thinking?

msevigny said...

Hey look! Hall Gill sucks at defense! It's almost gratifying to have my opinions validated this early in the season.

GoldenGirl11 said...

Where's Gargamel when you need him.

upsychre = I have no idea but there's something in there.

GoldenGirl11 said...

Just curious but shouldn't there be a bounty on Grabitchy's head for taking out Markov last season and ruining our chances to, uh, not lose every game?

Komo cross checking Markov from behind? He really needs a slap.

kevincrumbs said...

Whatever happens tonight, Pleks looks un-ZOMBIE like.

Number31 said...

Someone needs to slap Komisarek. Double high stick on Gomez, cross checking Patches, cross checking Markov who gave him a "whatever dude" look. BGL went, Moen sort of went (Rosehill must have had nothing better to do tonight I guess), Rhino?

Price is gonna be busy tonight. Looks like he's playing catch with the Leafs.

GoldenGirl11 said...

I don't know why but it feels like April and we're scrounging for a playoff spot... and I have a hankering for matzah brei.

kevincrumbs said...

Jesus, no help for Carey, seemingly.

kevincrumbs said...

Hagman should go off for checking from behind.

moeman said...

MOEnMAN!

Young HF29 said...

this pace is listless, at best

and just as i type that! 4th line woooo!

kevincrumbs said...

Moen? Moen!

Did BGL just create something on the ice?

kevincrumbs said...

Komi is a dirty piece of shit. You know it's bad when even the CBC guys think you got away with something.

Dave said...

That's a call? Ok refs.

kevincrumbs said...

FUCK. ME.

matt - fear the collapse said...

new players, same shit team...

kevincrumbs said...

What the fuck is this shit? The PK looks terrible, even worse than last year.

matt - fear the collapse said...

nice to see "Martin's defensive system working so well." 27 shots before the 2nd is over???

Number31 said...

Hey. Moen ran over Grabs. Brownie points.

Dave said...

holy shit those douches on crescent are giving this city a bad name.

Dave said...

now we know those 2 weren't friends

Dave said...

Gill is having a terrible game

matt - fear the collapse said...

wow...4th line...is that carbo out there to? players and coach look the same

Young HF29 said...

so after 2 periods i'd like to say , i'm not impressed

kevincrumbs said...

Terrible. They must've had a horrible time at that ranch and are playing like crap to stick it to Martin.

Number31 said...

Price > Leafs

GoldenGirl11 said...

I'm telling you. the naked Twister fucked them up!

moeman said...

Could be worse, we could be Bs fans.

Enough of the first two turds time for a big third.

matt - fear the collapse said...

so Gainey, I thought you wanted to change the team...not re-create the same one?

GoldenGirl11 said...

Is it just me or does Joel Bouchard look like a grown up Eddie Munster.

Number31 said...

Eh it's the first game guys... Could be worse. Check out the Caps toying with the Booins. And they have the same coach/team for a while now.

Is it just me or is the ACC a bit...empty?

Dave said...

take your merci beaucoup and shove it up your ass Douchebag.

GoldenGirl11 said...

And Luc Gelinas looks like a thinner, younger Uncle Fester with hair. What the hell is going on over there??

Boob Gainey said...

Someone needs to fuck Komisarek up.

GoldenGirl11 said...

Celine doing a Chalet BBQ commercial. Perfect. Maybe Guy will wish the guys luck from space at the next break.

Young HF29 said...

gimme a fucking break

Young HF29 said...

disaster

moeman said...

Lotsa work to do.

Dave said...

Oh crap. Markov so didn't look like Gregory Hines coming off the ice there.

Boob Gainey said...

Markov. Jesus.

Matt D said...

Is it the Olympics yet?

GoldenGirl11 said...

Does anyone have the Anaheim schedule?

Matt D said...

Oh my god, Hal Gill sucks

Boob Gainey said...

Bring back Saku and Kovy!

Boob Gainey said...

While we're being negative, Cammalleri doesn't look like a 6 million dollar player.

I hope Webber, Subban and Carle are fast learners. Our D is brutal.

kevincrumbs said...

Well, if we don't win this one, which isn't looking likely at this point, at least Price has played well. Besides that, I'm not sure what else to say.

Really disappointed in the team for looking like last year's team (but more expensive!) and giving up 40+ shots. Also, I can't believe no one has kneed Komi already. Maybe they're saving that for the Bell Centre, I guess.

moeman said...

Metro.

kevincrumbs said...

Thanks again, Komi!

Young HF29 said...

miracle mike thx!

Kate said...

I hate being late to the party. We look like shit. Oops, just tied it, thanks Douchebag.

Young HF29 said...

this moen dude is alright

hey look some life

kevincrumbs said...

Much better from the Habs here. Gionta almost made something out of nothing.

kevincrumbs said...

Carey, great save. Solid tonight.

Kate said...

Price is keeping us in the game, one big bright spot.

Matt D said...

Wow, Spacek is one ugly guy.

Young HF29 said...

point for TFS

GoldenGirl11 said...

@29
Moen looking good.... Moen in the header today.... I see a pattern.. ok 1 isn't a pattern but it sure beats me putting on my '93 levis.

moeman said...

Fuck you leafs!

Young HF29 said...

there's Squid's salary!

kevincrumbs said...

SQUID! GORGES! FUCK THE LEAFS! FUCK KOMI!

Baroque said...

An overtime win to start the season. How about that?

Boob Gainey said...

I always said Cammalleri was a great deal.

Boob Gainey said...

Fuck you Komi, you cheap-shotting twat.

moeman said...

Take the two points and run.

Gorgeous Georges bags the winner, whilst Beauchemin figures out his +/-.

Number31 said...

OMG GORGES! I am officially shocked. Guess Price doesn't need to sacrifice his stick this year.

Fuck you Leafs of Maple!

And Komi. Playing dirtier than usual. Going for the penalty record. Guess he needs to do something.

Kate said...

It was a bit of a dog's dinner but these guys don't quit. Second bright spot. Suck it Komo.

moeman said...

Good ~ TFS™

Bad ~ The Fucking System

Ugly ~ The Fucking Dou$harek

kevincrumbs said...

Wow, bizzarro world. Don Cherry vehemently arguing for Price to get the first star.

Number31 said...

Habs outhit the Leafs too. Pugnacious. Or whatever Burke says.

South Shore Habs Fan said...

So I'm thinking the Habs need a new team rule...

Markov does NOT play against the Leafs!

Also - how the fuck does Gill get paid more than Mara, Gorges, and O'Byrne?! Price looked good, the D is fucking slow, AK46 and Pleks look like they've woken up, and I'm wondering if Gionta has any relatives from Turku, Finland.


I'd call Dou$harek a cheapshot artist, but "artist" is too generous. He's like the cheapshot Nickelback.

Dave said...

Oh my God, Gaston Therrien re-enacting play on the mini-rink on Crescent is so pathetic.

Dave said...

Cheapshot Nickelback. SSHF that's terribly brilliant.

cottoneye said...

@ SSHF: rofl on the cheapshot Nickelback.

Meh game. Almost had a heart attack during the last 5 minutes of the third period.

Oh and... We're officially as of right now FIRST IN THE DIVISION!!!!!11!!! Plan the parade!!!! (unless Markov is seriously injured).

Anonymous said...

who else thinks Komi-fuck-off-and-die-a-sore-ass played like a whiny bitch?

Cowboyatheart said...

Wow, 175 comments, is that a record?

Dave said...

That uniform must just instantly transform a human being into an asshole.

Anonymous said...

the traitor wears it well. asshole.

mr. gillis said...

175 isn't a record, but 175 FUCKIN COMMENTS?? Its the season opener for fucks sake.

Here is a list of a few of my thoughts while watching the game:

-Price=God
- Komisarek= Flaming douchebag

- Komisarek= Flaming douchebag
- Komisarek= Flaming douchebag
- Komisarek= Flaming douchebag
- Komisarek= Flaming douchebag

- BGL= Floating antelope

- WHY THE FUCK DO THEY KEEP PUSHING THE HABS INTO TOSKALA??!!!?? FUCK OFF!!!
- HAHA, Komisarek was in the box for two of the habs' goals.
- Cammel-Go is a great combo
- Gorges= saucy
- JM= dopey (it's the ears)

I figure that people are still warming up or some shit like that. Hey, I tried with about eighty dumb comments in a row.

Wow! I haven't posted a comment on this site in almost a year but MAN i'm glad to be back! I just spent the last half-hour reading through the comments since i missed the game due to work (as usual) and i haven't laughed this much since i saw "Zack and Miri Make a Porno"!

Thank you guys for this, really cheers a guy up.

Also: Fuck you Komi, my ex-favoritest player of all time!

Fuck you Sergei Kostitsyn, my ex-second favoritest player of all time!

And: Thank God for Jesus Price!

Cliffnote: By all time, i mean in the last 2 years that have served the Habs >.>
