- Habs, without Kovy, Koivu or Markov put up a brave fight while losing to the Sens 5-4 in OT in their final pre-season game. Alfredsson had a hat trick, and Gerber outplaying Huet was the difference, as the Habs outshot the Sens 39-22 (!!). HF10, shacked up at Casa del TMS this weekend for a wedding we went to yesterday (congrats to über-Habs fan Damion and his lovely wife Amanda, who is so nice she allows him to keep his old Forum red seat in their closet-size NYC apartment) had this to say about the game: "Braised Stanstead Rabbit or Grilled Highwater Venison with wild mushroom risotto for dinner last night. Wow. Oh, and we're still on schedule for 82 and oh, 575 goals for."
- Oh yeah, the actual season started yesterday. If a season starts in England, does anybody hear it? Anyway, Kings beat the Ducks 4-1. That Stanley Cup defence is off to a great start, Quackers...
Taking a break from the stripperriffic season preview today as we prepare to bring you the Habs Big 3 tomorrow through Wednesday while you need to waste time at work. The FHF has been slogging along this summer in the off-season with mindless filler and random strippers - we are totally psyched for the season. But we can't believe that we may actually have to come up with something intelligent starting this Wednesday night. We may be in trouble.
