The Morning Skate for Monday, November 2nd

Bullet points for what you missed while dreaming of winning in your return "home"...
  • Red alert! Ovie with an "upper body injury" suffered in the Caps' OT loss to the BJ's. No one's talking about what it is, or how long;
  • B's lose again. Bruins schadenfreude is the new Leafs schadenfreude;
  • Andrew Raycroft cools off the red-hot Avs with a shutout;
  • BR is complaining about something this morning, we're really not sure what exactly. Something about the Richard Zednik trade. Seriously.
Earliest. TMS. Ever. The time change is really fucking with us.

Can we hold the Olympics now? No Malkin, Kovalchuk, Ovechkin, Gonchar or Markov. That's the top powerplay unit, all missing.

Joel Bouchard on CHOM this morning thinks we were all a bunch of meanies to Komisarek. Bad Pete said he should have faught Moen then. Bouchard said it would have been worse if he had lost. I laughed because he ran away from Chips.

Hey, I never heard what the medical was on D'Agostini. It looked like the back of his helmet touched his shoulder blade. Must be a concussion ?

OMG I loved Zednik. Thanks for reminding me BR. By the way, is every single column he writes a whinefest?

I can't believe he whines that we lost players for nothing than says that Zednik was traded for a 3rd round pick that turned out to be Fortier. Like, aren't you supposed to be happy that the Habs drafted some pure laine player? Can Bob do nothing right? God, his and Réjean Tremblay's constant bashing of Gainey is becoming so old.

/end rant

@cottoneye, bert et rej won't be happy until Bob Gainey quits or is fired. Then they will pat themselves on the back whilst CHeshire-smiling. I find it odd that the disgusting rej spews his daily anti-Bob garbage yet as a purestwooler/FLQmemowriter, he has any interest in the CANADiens at all. Like I've said before, these fucktards need their own team and the sooner the better (good luck with that).

I was thinking about the article that mentioned 46DD having trouble because he has no comrades left. I initially thought "well, just learn English dude". But I got to thinking that not all players are rocket scientists like Joe Juneau. Fact is, there are most likely a lot of dumb guys playing hockey. And they may not be complete morons, but lack the aptitude to learn a new language.

I don't know if this is his problem, or if it's due to his bro's issues or what. I'm just not ready to give up on him. Bob needs to find a big talented winger to play with him and Pleks on that 2nd line. It appears one does not exist within the organization, so Bob - go shopping please. We must have the assets to make this happen.....right? Right?

Rumour has it that Higgins might be available...

I wouldn't mind Higgins back, seriously

Senor Gomez and the Squid have been trying to get Brother Andrei going. He's talking though. I saw him chatting on the ice with Gorges and others. He's just got a bad case of Idon'tknowhatI'mdoingitis.

Sergei has more points than him. Sigh...
