The Morning Skate says goodbye to Ben CaHOOOOON for Thursday, January 27th

Bullet points for what you missed while having nightmares of an Als' season without Ben CahOOOOON...
Thanks for the memories Ben, you're special even though you're too modest and classy to ever admit it. Here's Ben doing what does, just catching the ball.

I'm late but... W00t! The bromance is going to Carolina!!! I hope the camera crew gets there in time, you know, with this being short notice and all (cough*NHL*cough). Better pack a flip cam just in case!

Also, that TSN article was all rainbows and ice cream right until the last line. "Despite their powerplay, the Canadiens are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL". Sigh.

Fuck the all star break, just play and the playoffs start a week earlier.

That TSN article was all rainbows and ice cream right until the comments. Man are leaf fans delusional.

I was too depressed to read past the low-scoring part.

For a brief period during the last couple of years hockey was back, now its slipped into the grind, cycle, grind, dump, block and goals scored for the most part by blasting the puck into a crowd.

The first step to fixing this is to fire Chocula.

I can see Geoff Molson possibly 'promoting' JM to assistant GM for the final year of his contract and giving Captain Kirk the keys to the Enterprise. But this might only happen if the Habs don't make the playoffs or get bounced handily in the first round.

So the NHL thinks it is too much of a hassle to stop play for 2 weeks every 4 years so some players can play in a prestigeous international competition that not only the fans go rabid over but the players love as well. But it's perfectly normal to suspend play for a week each year to play a boring, useless all-star game that many players skip and most fans ignore.

Just read some of the comments on that article...I can put up with bad grammar...I can handle the atrocious spelling...I can even ignore the blatant leaf delusion...what I can't stand are those people who think putting three dots...after every sentece fragment...somehow makes them look thoughtful...because it...breaks up their...erratic thought process...there's a reason...we don't write like we think...because...it's...fucking...annoying...three dots...are meant for emphasis...it's like WRITING WITH CAPS LOCK...Koreans also write...like this...except with~~~at the end of everything to emphasize the never-ending whine at the end of every sentence...Do people not understand how stupid they sound when they speak?...why do you want your writing to reflect that...end rant...

Hey O-man, you're talking about the ellipses. My wife absolutely HATES those on the blogs she reads. She's a grammar freak, so...

In other news, while I was searching trying to come up with that ellipse word, I found this (possibly NSFW) for your viewing pleasure.
I'm at work and quickly exited because I'm not sure what's on it. But sounds like an educational piece that i may check out at home.

I would not want to be CHallah's agent. Talk about a lack of bargaining position. Goat " he takes the offer or we trade him to the ducks"

In fact Walt was a notorious figure.

CAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Number 86 will forever be number 1 in my heart ♥

moeman said...

Obsolete nickname popped into my head;

We could/should've been calling Metropolit Methro.

Number31 said...

Doan and BizNasty doing their own ASG draft is awesome. They should do the real draft.

Number31 said...

Ugh...and then McSplooge comes in and takes it all serious...

moeman said...

mcsplooge and blob mackenzie making excuses for kessposito saying he'll shoot out he lights and win the MVP. CotU losers.

Hey look! The Flyers AHL team's mascot is BizarroYouppi.

moeman said...

N31, BizarroYouppi looks like BR.

Young HF29 said...

looks less like Bizarro Youppi than uh, how do I put this politically correctly, Intellectually Challenged Youppi

moeman said...

29, just because BizarroYouppi needs some teeth and eye work doesn't mean he isn't smarter than pjstock+milbury combined.

Just reading back a couple of threads. Is it coincidence or FHF genious that the All Star Break/PHlyers preview thread from Tuesday carried over to Wednesday and stopped at 99 comments on Wayne's birthday?

Fishfeet said...

Don't shit too much on the leaf, it could still screw us like it did in april 2007. And yes, we are meeting it again this year in the last game of the regular season.

Just sayin', karma's a bitch.
