Return of the Beautiful People: Wild Preview and Open Thread


Somewhere Bertrand Raymond is, indeed, screaming.

Apparently we're already hitting the panic button here at FHF it seems, so I guess I'll do my part to ratchet up the fearmongering:
  • 4 losses in a row and no signs of improvement - especially in the discipline department;
  • Up against a team that has won 8 of 10 - mostly on the road. Apparently, Marian Gaborik and all his points can take MSG and his ridiculous contract and shove them up his ass;
  • Our two best defencemen are now sidelined (Markov and Hamr) - and the blueline wasn't that good to begin with;
  • Our biggest offseason splash, Scott Gomez, officially sucks donkey balls, getting booed every time he touched the puck down in the swamp - for no good reason!! (They should be cheering that someone else has to pay this guy);
  • Stupid, stupid penalties galore and another last minute loss;
  • Our franchise tender can't stop a knuckleball so high and outside that even Vladimir Guerrero wouldn't swing at it;
  • Meanwhile, our backup goalie - and current most beautiful player - wants out. He's likely not the only one;
  • Last home game of the year for MTL; and
  • Did I mention all the stupid penalties yet? Yes? Okay, just making sure.
And to top it all of, tonight marks the beginning of the Second John LeClair era. Maybe letting Higgins, Kovy, Tanguay, Bouillon and Greek Lightning go didn't burn us too badly, but just you wait. Gui:( has 3 goals and 4 points in 10 games since leaving La Belle Province. While that pace still works out to only 25 a season, you can bet he'll explode tonight while the guy we traded for (could play potentially? maybe?? hopefully???) in the minors sometime this week. Remind me again why people want Gainey to trade Halak?

At least one segment of Montreal fans will be happy about Gui's return, besides Guy Bertrand: 12-16 year old Habs fan girls everywhere have their panties in a bunch. Trust us, HF4 checked. Personally, I think tonight's game will have as much beauty as this video:



Alright all you beautiful commentators, let's hear your version of the Habs collapse in the comments.
