The Morning Skate for Wednesday, November 3rd

Bullet points for what you missed while having nightmares of America falling apart...
  • Well that was just terrible. Habs lose 3-0. It's not that we were shutout, it's that we were terrible. Totally lost. No offence, no defence, no nothing. We suck. Are we overreacting? You bet! More later today if we can stomach it;
  • We can't even take solace in the Laefs losing and Dion Phaneuf getting injured;
  • Niklas Backstrom and the Wild shut out the mighty Sharks;
  • The Canucks get their fourth straight win, 4-3 over the Oil;
  • The Devils have lost Zach Parise for 3 months after knee surgery. Things are going well in Jersey!
Sigh.

One comment put it all in perspective yesterday :

Garon in net, Columbus wins.

We should let this person pick the lotery numbers for us all.

Am I the only one who thinks that not only are Gomez and Gionta in a Giant Mexican slump, but that Squid also looks out of place most of the time?

I miss GG's work. But if we can request for some strippers, can we get John Holmes, Peter North and good ol' Ron Jeremy? At the very least, it would be some quality brain bleach for yesterday's stinker.

Time for a knee jerk reaction,
fire Chocula. Bring up Weber and the skinny Rusky. Send down MEX till he finds his game.

Oh and get a gag for McSplooge, I was listening to him for the first time on the radio and he made me want to snort drano.

feeling a bit better, though it won't last. Blues are one point behind with 23 games in hand. If we finish behind St Louis this year the judgement on the Gainey epoch will be grim.
Misspelling the Laefs cheered me up a bit, but I agree with some commenters, it is getting a bit tired that they are always on the bottom and only play well, check viciously and/or injure one of our most essential players when they play us. Also, Habs performance may have been due to strong division competition...now the pressure's off...

Remembering another doomed franchise, have to say there is something heartwrenchingly pathetic about your goal song being "Life is Life" punctuated with a pre-recorded 'wooo!'.

Too fucking bad about the Devils. I hope they finish 30th overall, 'cause didn't the league take their first round pick from them for their cap circumvention antics? Ha! Too bad Fat Marty. Have another donut... or three.

This was my hockey career. I could score at will in traffic and back check like a plague on defense. But I was a little guy and NSFW for the future. Unlike Denis Savard I did not smoke. So am I bitter yes, but show me some strippers, give me weed whites and wine and I will be willing, to forgive God for making me so short.
