While HF29 is in the land of 56k modems, I'll be keeping you company in the mornings for a few days. Don't worry, he'll be back soon. Let's review what happened while you and I were sleeping and/or recovering from a turkey coma:
- Might Mite Martin Raymond gets his first career hat trick in the Canucks 5-1 win over the Flames. Let's hope it's a preview of a future Bobby Lou-Kipper match-up in February.
- Leafs beat the Pens 4-3; Boston and Buffalo also win. Wasn't it supposed to be the Northleast Division? Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
- Pat Kane has a pair in the Hawks 4-3 win over the Preds. Let's hope he cools off before February.
- Swedes name their Olympic roster, notably absent: I'd say no one, but apparently Mikeal Samulsson doesn't agree. Way to support your country, douchebag.
- Not only do the Russians name Markov to the team, but another Habs draft pick who never moved West in Konstantin Korneyev. Fuck me the Russians have a scary offense. No Kovy or Bulin Wall, though. Let's hope that comes back to bit them (unlikely).
- Can you tell we're starting to get pumped about Olympic hockey?
- Speaking of international puck, over at the WJC: if you missed Canada hammering Latvia 16-0 on Boxing Day, there will probably be another lopsided score in today's game against Switzerland. Let's hope the Americans haven't figured out how to win at the WJC as the USA is now 3-0.
Last but certainly not least, The Little Giant may be back against Ottawa tonight! FYI, Scott Gomez just splooged reading that sentence. Check back for a real game preview later.

There must have been a lot of political pressure to pick KHL players.
I would have liked to see our Kovy line up with the other Kovy and Malkin.
Gionta is back tonight confirmed as is Hammer BUT....If Martin breaks up our first forward unit anytime for any reason other than injury I am boycotting for as long as I can....which would only really be a week. Go kings.
How many shots can Hamrlik shave off Halak? Maybe get 'er down to 41 a game? Super.
So would the Gomez-Gionta-Pouliot line be named "Giant Mexican Poo"?
The Gomez-Gionta-Pouliot line be called the Franco-American SpaCHettiOs?

WV = ousti, as in ousti de tabarnacque de St. SiCtoCHe, de Calisse, donnez moins de tires au buts.
I feel like such a hockey ho. I commented on HIO today to win free loge tickets for Sunday's game.
The devilishous Moey just wants to show off her new jersey.
Which of the following obligatory components of an HI/O post did you include:
1. Suggested lines, especially if they require a player to be out of position.
2. Suggested trade of a group of our no-hopers (e.g. BGL and D'Agostini) in exchange for a genuine superstar.
2b. Suggested trade of a group of our no-hopers (e.g. BGL and D'Agostini) plus Halak in exchange for a genuine superstar.
3. Use of (preferably bogus) stats to prove that Halak (or Price) is better than Price (or Halak) and that the sooner Price (or Halak) is traded, the better.
@moeman,
Tis the perfect place to model the new jersey, no? Also wouldn't mind meeting Dave, Kevin & Mike.
@Boob,
My personal favorite went something like this, when Saku wasn't offered a contract to resign:
"I'm so glad Koivu is gone, who the hell did he think he was anyway? His smug sense of entitlement wearing the Hab's jersey, he was just lucky they let him play there."
I kid you not. What a dickhead, I can't remember hhis/her handle.
VW - lunatsh - as in they have a fair share of lunatsh on HIO.
@Moey, just funnin' ya and I hope you win and get yourself on the big centre ice screen.
@moe,
You just have to name who will pot the 20,000th Habs goal tonight. I'm saying Markov. No real comments required, I figured it was safe.
I suspect wearing that jersey would piss off some riff raff in the rafters, it would be sweet!
The Small Giant will pants the 20000th.
@ Moey,
Didn't everyone "ho" themselves for those tickets? Who did you pick to score, I said Metro..
I went with Cammy just 'cause he never scores on the road...
My real choice though would have been Price from the bench WITH HIS MIND!
@soperman,
My cat says Markov. Gotta go with the cat, if he's wrong no treats for a week.
Obama is on TV right now, tell me something, how did an individual get aboard an aircraft with an explosive device attached to him?
Giant-Mexican-Chicken
Heh. The guy had some kind of explosive powder that he was going to mix with water. Nutters.
I'm not entering the HIO contest - logistics don't work, but Pouliot will score numero vingt mille. Is that right?
So, we could actually have a FULL lineup tonight. Crazy times. Who gets injured to take Hamr and Gionta's spot on the IR. I'm guessing MAB.
I presume (read 'hope' or 'pray') that with Hamr and Gionta back, Pebbles and Dags would sit.
I love pain, so I'll be watching the Sportsnet broadcast. I find those guys so hilarious. Galley, to be fair, tries at times to be not a 100% homer.
@ Moey and 31
I believe for things like this it is usually someone who plays hard but won't be remembered five minutes after his trade is announced.
Best Christmas song ever....
