FOR FUCK'S SAKE JUST GET A POINT - Hurricanes preview rant and open thread

Listen up, you fucking Habs. We're all pretty disappointed in your behaviour in the face of possibly clinCHing on Tuesday. You came out as flat as a pair of non-Marisa Miller tits, and it wasn't pretty. Oh sure, you fought back a little bit to take a couple of leads, but can you fucking hold a lead? Of course not, because, well, I don't know why. The defense sucks? Count Chokula sucks? You just don't care? (Gio and Moore excepted) Who the fuck knows. All we wanted was some FUCKING DESPERATION. Did you watch the Rangers play last night? Oh sure, they played the Leafs Suck, but they played with desperation. They knew they had to come out strong and win and they did. Are you fucking worse than the pathetic Rangers? No, you're fucking not. Well, SHOW US. Show us how you are desperate to make the playoffs. Show us YOU FUCKING CARE. Go to the fucking net. Dig in the corners. FUCKING WORK FOR 60 MINUTES FOR FUCK'S SAKE. All we need is one measly fucking point to clinCH a playoff spot. Do you think you can manage that you fucktards? This entire season has been a roller coaster ride from hell. You've got two fucking games to show us you mean it. And do you want to go down to the wire, against the Leafs, to have to do it? No you fucking don't. I know most of you weren't here in 2007 when in that same situation the same fucking Leafs of all teams denied us a spot in the playoffs. That wasn't fucking pretty, and no one around here (except eyebleaf) wants to have to live through that shit again. So go out there, at least pretend like you care and FUCKING GET A POINT FOR FUCK'S SAKE. DO NOT BACK INTO THE PLAYOFFS LIKE A BUNCH OF FUCKING PUSSIES. I gave you a naked Marisa Miller. That should be all the fucking motivation you need.

OK, that's enough. 7:30 PM in Carolina and it's on TSN. The starter hasn't been announced as of this writing though I assume it's Jaro, and Squid and CHicken better fucking wake up soon. The end.

A final note. Before I decided to rant, we were working on a preview theme of The Wizard of Oz (you know, hurricane and all that). It included some killer work from GG which I didn't want to be lost to the dustbin of FHF history. You can see it here. The Wicked Witch will give you nightmares.

Well, guess we'll have to do it against the Leafs.

Fuck me, this really is 2007 all over again.

moeman said...

Ice cream!

Unknown said...

Oh well.

GoldenGirl11 said...

No joke I think JM just broke out in hives. He also squints like it's too sunny.

Number31 said...

Great move, Markov. Way to screw up this game...

Vomit.

Puke.

And the fucking Sabres played Lalime today just for shits and giggles.

Unknown said...

Hey guys, if we don't make the playoffs, do we get a shot at the lottery?

iRiRi said...

Don't even bother taking Halak out, you idiots.

iRiRi said...

Fucking Staal. How fucking weak was that?

hfotwc said...

FUUUUUUUUUCK!

moeman said...

Worst night cap ever. Fuckers.

Kmaxx said...

Fuck fuck fuck fuck. I cannot believe this is going to go down to Saturday night! How fuckin' shitb is this team! Does the suck-o-meter go to 11?

be.habs.fan said...

it's going to be a very short playoff run SHOULD THEY FUCKING MAKE IT

lawyergirl77 said...

Wow, Martin looks like he wants to puke too. Pull up a bucket, coach.

*hurl*

kevincrumbs said...

Really trying to stop myself from smashing something into pieces. Sadly, doesn't look like anyone on the Habs even has a bit of rage inside from losing another game to a shitty team.

iRiRi said...

I love how they all look dumbfounded on the bench.

Kmaxx said...

Why the fuck do we pull the goalie with a 2 goal deficit?

Good night! Can't believe I stayed up for this shit!

GoldenGirl11 said...

They look like they just got eliminated. Foreshadowing?

moeman said...

Hope you feel embarrassed Habs.

b said...

Count Chocula has that look. He knows he wont be behind the Canadiens bench in September. Missing piece- Darche.
System- interesting but not capable of doing the job. Is Chad LaRose a free agent this summer?

iRiRi said...

Burke and Wilson must be popping champagne.

matt - re-locate the team said...

Just fucking move this team to Mexico City, big untapped market Bettman! Give us an expansion team...this needs a fresh start, and I don't mean a Gainey (bring in the same SHIT) fresh start, I mean a competent GM in charge, with a new scouting staff, new coaches and a clean slate of players...I am sick of this crap every year

lawyergirl77 said...

Mr. LG77 and I are the Tabarnak chorus tonight. We've yelled it, muttered it, whispered it, screamed it...

Ta. Bar. Nak.

Worst part of Saturday's game? Unlike 2007, I'll be there to see it in person.

Someone pass the Ativan.

iRiRi said...

Can JM pull a Sutter and lock them in the locker room?

Kate said...

Time for a GM. (Grand Marnier)

kevincrumbs said...

Hopefully the Habs are shitting their pants thinking about how they're going to face 21,273 paying fans after the garbage they've pulled this week.

I think someone here said earlier in the week that it would've been better if the Habs closed out against good teams. When the Habs were down one later in the 3rd and pressuring the Canes, the Canes might've wilted if they had something to play for. Sadly, since they had nothing to lose, there was no chance of them fucking up.

iRiRi said...

@moeman - isn't that kinda like throwing the whale to the wolves?

lawyergirl77 said...

@moeman - FUCK. NO. That's what happened to Halak in 2007. I'm petrified that it's what JM is going to do, though.

And RiRi - DYING laughing here. Thanks - I needed that!

moeman said...

@ReeRee, are you calling the Bell Centre fans (at least a portion of them) wolves?

Unknown said...

@RiRi: You staying up to see PJ deal with Normand Flynn tonight?

iRiRi said...

@moeman - no, stupid leaves = wolves, but now that you mention it...

@ezzeloharr - wouldn't miss it for the world. not like i have an 8AM class or anything...

lawyergirl77 said...

I turned off the TV the moment the game was over. I'm just kind of staring at it now.

Watching l'Antichambre would just be like rubbing salt in the wound. I think it constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the Charter, even when the Habs win. It must be against the Geneva Convention after a loss...

Unknown said...

@RiRi: Out of curiosity, what are you studying?

I kinda wish PJ spoke better French: he might get more respect from the rest of them.

bea.habs.fan said...

I am so happy that I screwed up my social planning and will actually be out Saturday, I don't think I could take the disappointment of 2007 all over again.

a pox on the system, the coach, most of the players.
I feel like a leaf fan

iRiRi said...

@ezzeloharr - business, u?

lawyergirl77 said...

Watching the puppy cam to try to make myself feel better.... aaaah... there we go... hockey doesn't exist, hockey doesn't exist...

iRiRi said...

"Bergie" (blech) brings up a good point:

Gomez and Staal both make $8 million. Staal has 5-pt night, Mex was pretty much invisible.

And Flynn throws in this little gem: they started being aggressive and getting chances when MAB switched to defense. Ha!

moeman said...

I'm exhausted and unlike 29 I didn't masturbate between periods. Here's hoping this team can reload, then unload on the leaf (whilst the NYR/PHI peep show is on).

iRiRi said...

@LG - Would that the Shiba Inu puppies?

hfotwc said...

I've run out of curse. I can't even swear anymore. I'm down on the ground, somebody kick me. Better now than Saturday night.

lawyergirl77 said...

RiRi - the shibas went to their forever families, so not them. There are two channels of squirmy baby golden retrievers on ustream that are killing me with teh qte now.

Unknown said...

@RiRi: Flynn is amazing. I wonder if he's on the same stuff as 29.

I'm just a lowly engineer at McGill. Thankfully there's no class 'till 10:30. =D

iRiRi said...

@LG - Thanks! Aw! I want one of those puppies!

huzz09 said...

i can't fucking believe that this is going to come down to the laughs again. fucking habs. does gomez and his 8 fucking million dollars just want to play some golf, and nail porn stars with tiger, or can he just not handle the pressure of montreal. i don't think i've ever seen a "star" give away the puck so much. even kovy never just handed the puck to the other team like that (well maybe sometimes). fuck, fuck, fuck i can't fucking believe 60/100ths of a percentage point is going to come back to haunt them. fucking ridiculous. doug harvey is turning in his grave right now.

Unknown said...

Haha, love how the RDS answer to failed sound on the video clip is to cut to a commercial.

GoldenGirl11 said...

@ezz
my neighbor is fourth year mcgill engineering and he's currently building a remote control plane. So cool.

Habsfan10 said...

I love this franchise, but I hate this team. I don't think I've ever hated a version of the Habs as much as I hate this gutless, rudderless, heartless bullshit tease of a fucking team. Frankly, I hope they get fucking destroyed on Saturday, I hope they don't make the playoffs, and I hope every fucking fan of this great, glorious organization emails, writes, calls or throws a brick through the Molson's window that says the exact same message:

This is unacceptable on almost every level. These players, this management team, this soulless, watered-down shadow of a Montreal Canadiens team has no right to wear the colours anymore. Everything about the franchise I love is a fucking shambles watching this keystone cops garbage. There's no joy when they win; only relief or an incredulous shake of the head over how lucky they were. There's no relaxing viewing; never an easy night. There's no looking to a better future because this team is older and cap-tied and doesn't possess much in the way of game-changers (the great hope of PK Subban excepted). The foreseeable future of this team is a bunch more shitty, fighting for scraps low playoff spots and frustration, never bad enough to effect a Pens-style rebuild or good enough for a Cup, which means this team has become St. Louis with a bigger trophy cabinet full of fast-fading glory. It needs to change, and it needs to change NOW. This is not good enough and everyone associated with this should be embarrassed.

iRiRi said...

Well said, 10.

lawyergirl77 said...

Well said, 10.

But I still maintain that Gio is an exception to what you describe. Did you see his face when he walked back to the dressing room after the game? Combination of pissed off and ready to cry, with a bit of nausea thrown in. Exactly how I felt.

Unknown said...

@GG: They had a big presentation in the engineering building today, with a cool remote controlled plane - probably the same?

kevincrumbs said...

Gio should be the captain.

bea.habs.fan said...

couldn't agree with you more 10.

to think one of the reason I moved back to MOntreal 6 years ago was hockey and the Habs.
must have been high that day

GoldenGirl11 said...

@Ezz
that was them. I guess the rain kept them indoors. Great kids. Brilliant.

Anonymous said...

Go habs!

lawyergirl77 said...

Off to stare at the golden retrievers on ustream and then hit the sack, pretending this past week in hockey never happened.

I'd say good night to everyone, but that would be both futile and a lie.

Sigh.

At lest tomorrow is Friday, right???

Yeah - I don't think anything is going to make this night better. =(

Number31 said...

HamsterPleky is so upset with that game that he's sleeping in.

SOS Guy Boucher.

mr. gillis said...

meh

GoldenGirl11 said...

@gillis
you make me laugh

orangeman said...

10, that's pretty much my feelings as well. I think a large part of the passivity of this team is shown in their refusal to pick a captain. You can see the total lack of leadership. With all the new guys this season they really needed one captain to bring everyone together and focus. Instead, we get players that all play their own styles with a coach that has a completely different approach.

I will say that I hope they beat the leafs on Saturday, but only because I hate the leafs more than anything. It's really, really sad to say as a Habs fan, but I don't care if they make the playoffs. Actually, I think it's better that they don't. This season is a complete disaster but if they get in everyone in that organization will think it's a success and nothing will happen. If the Habs don't make it I don't think they'll be able to ignore the rage from the media and fans. I mean, really, who cares if they make it? So they can get swept out by the Caps? I'm tired of seeing them lose, I really don't feel like going through the motions for 4 extra games.

The team is full of people who obviously are playing for a paycheque, not for glory or personal dignity. Like 10 said, you can see it in the way they play and on their faces. There are some exceptions, notably Price and Halak who have pretty much carried this pathetic team all season. Gio and Pleks (most nights), too. And a few others, but not the ones who need to do the job.

But I've been saying all season that this is a 'just enough' team, always doing 'just enough' to seem competent. They score a goal in the 1st, sit back and rest on it and seem surprised when they lose it. They work to tie it up only to stop playing and lose in OT. They won 6 in a row, seemed poised to make the playoffs and stopped playing, going below .500 afterwards. So the Rangers will lose tomorrow, and the Habs will think they earned their playoff spot. They won't show up again on Saturday and lose by 4 goals and shrug.

Sorry, I want to root for my team to win, not for others to lose, and it's been the opposite for way too long now.

Having said alllllll that, fuck you leafs, I hope you fucking get embarrassed on Saturday, you fucking fucks. Ok, so maybe hating is as much fun as loving sometimes.
