Who holds the "Queen of the Skanks" title these days? Paris, Britney, or Lindsay? Discuss.Waiting in line details - 7:30 PM start at the Phone Booth. Habs 7-3 in their last 10. Habs can move into first in the Eastern Conference with a win. Habs can clinch a playoff spot with 2 wins this week, according to Danica McKellar. Habs have not played St. Louis since the mid-80's (or so it seems). Blues suck. They have lost, like, 49 of their last 50 games or something. Don't believe me that they suck? Listen to their own players:
"It's a joke is what it is," D Erik Johnson
"Oviously we are out of it," G Manny Legace
Pay your cover charge to - St. Louis Game Time. Basically the Blues version of FHF, top-notch snark and humour. But those guys are like, intelligent. But then again, they don't have strippers, so we're even. They do killer live-blogs of games, so check back throughout the night and taunt them in their comment section (knock wood).
Hot sexy Habs to watch - Streit and Koivu both a point per game over the last dozen. Gui! starting to really show something, albeit in his own slow, plodding way.
Quickly becoming a FHF hero - Jaro have powa. Play many matches to ween. Not making sheet games in Mantreal, will play night.
Skanky Habs to watch - Markov may have been a bit quiet lately, but otherwise not too many (Sens game notwithstanding).
Hot sexy Blues to watch - Blues leading scorer Brad Boyes has 7 points in his last 5 games.
Skanky Blues to watch - the rest of 'em. See above comments re sucking.
Not dancing due to too many vodka Red Bulls - Blues: Mike Johnson out for the season, Dan Hinote day to day. Habs: Bégin still day to day with the always humourous groin injury. Would it bother anyone if, headed into the stretch run, I mention that the Habs have really been lucky with injuries this season? No significant time lost by any significant players? Oh, it would bother you? You say I might jinx it? K, I won't mention it then.
Post-game adult entertainment establishment - Cleo's of course. The skanky club for the skanky theme du jour. But damn, it's good skank.
K let's hear your skanky thoughts in the comments.
Brad who ?
ReplyDeletePop quiz: the cheapest tikts for a Blues' game are cheaper than? :

E) All of the above
They suck.
Oh I think we have to with with E) on that one. Blues tickets are hitting bottem - right next to Expos tickets, it seems.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm on a plane during the game tonight, on my way to...MONTREAL!
(From plus 10 and sunny to minus a million and 3 feet of snow. Good thing Montreal kicks Calgary's ass in every other conceivable way.) Anway, this means I'll see all you shlubs at the game on Saturday, with LG77!
As for tonight's game: Don't fuck this up, Montreal (with apologies to Stephen Colbert)
@HF29 - I'll have to go with "Paris" in response to today's 'pole' question.
ReplyDeletepeople, a beer and a popcorn at the Bell Centre is like 30 bucks
ReplyDelete"pole question", heh
Woooo! Panger in the big city! strippers, beer and pizza for everyone!
I also have to go with Paris for most skanky.
ReplyDeletePanger, I doubt Montreal kicks Calgary's ass in bull-ropin, large belt-buckle wearin', or even cowboy boots per capita. Calgary is even winning the "drunken fan celebrations on the main drag" competition over the last few years (anyone remember www.flamesgirls.com?) Not that it matters.
Anyone feel sort of bad for the Blues and their fans? The ultimate never good enough, sometimes uber-crappy, multiple bad owners team that nobody really pities like the true sad-sacks. Must be frustrating.
Go hockey!
Flames Girls Woooooooo!!! I miss that. here are some photos from those glory days:
ReplyDeletehttp://atomic.speculation.org/Graphics/2004-05-15%20Calgary%20Flames%20Girls%20(nudity)/
10, I totally feel bad for the Blues. I make fun, but I resepct a real franchise (or maybe what used to be one). And they had a decent start to this season, just gone south.
As a loyal Saskatonian, I feel absolutely no sympathy for the Blues, or their fans. Fans wouldn't be a problem if Saskatchewan had an NHL franchise. The Riders are a case in point; one cup every 20 years, but every game is a sell-out.
ReplyDeleteBlues suck.
Go Bill Hunter. And Go Hockey.
Don't cry for us, Montreal.
ReplyDeleteThere is at least a faint whiff of optimism in St. Louis these days, unless that's just the wind blowing the wrong way from the brewery (the smell of cooking Budweiser will turn your stomach). Attendance is solid, if not spectacular--although we'll see if that holds true when they finish the current 3-week road trip.
And you can get Blues tickets, from the box office no less, for $7 to some seats/games. We frugal midwesterners see cheap ticket prices as an advantage, not a mark of shame.
All that said, the Habs should win tonight 6-2.
Good to hear there's some optimism LeNoc.
ReplyDelete$7???? I'm not fucking kidding, a (crappy) beer at the Bell Centre is $9.50.
29 - it's not just crappy beer, it's fucking WARM beer.
ReplyDeleteBut, then again, it could be Budweiser, so I suppose that things could be worse!
WORD to Panger's "Don't fuck this up Montreal".
W00t for going to the game with Panger this Saturday!!
LG I would take a cold Bud to the warm Molson crap any day
ReplyDelete(ducks lightning)
which is why I always get drunk BEFORE the game
Panger and LG at the game together! Brings a tear to my eye!
btw kids, same line-up as the Isles game, meaning Breezer.

Boyes. St. Louis loves Boyes.
Pop quiz: the cheapest tikts for a Blues' game are cheaper than? :
A)parking near bell center
Most likely true.
B) a beer and a popcorn at an habs' game,
False. Probably a bit more expensive than popcorn, but less expensive than beer. For a popcorn and a beer, you can take yourself and a friend/concubine.
C) A CH car flag
Most likely true.
D) A lap dance.
True, but only if the stripper has teeth and two legs.
E) All of the above
See all of the above responses
They suck.
Yes, they do. But we still love 'em in St. Louis!!!
MILO
Bitterness aside, it's cool that you guys can be proud of your team and get reasonably priced tickets to boot.
ReplyDeleteHere in the Ottawa area they (Sens) are still patting themselves on the back for beating the Habs, last week. Lets see our team add 2 more points and slap dem bitches. (my Blogger name won't synch dammit!)

ReplyDeleteBitterness aside, it's cool that you guys can be proud of your team and get reasonably priced tickets to boot.
I understand the bitterness. Bill Hunter was quite a guy. Of course, we didn't like him much at the time (mostly because he made us learn some geography).
It is nice to have reasonably priced tix, but the $7 seats go up to $10 or $11 next season, so even with the Blues currently sucking worse than last year, we're gonna take it in the wallet (backside) for a mediocre team.
The Blues have no shortage of fans, (a lot of fans were very turned off by all sides in the lockout and are yet to return). Not to mention the last ownership group and its fire sale (Pronger, for example).
This year shows that with the passing of the torch, St. Louis fans will return, even though on-ice it is not quite there yet. A lot of us want in on the ground floor of a great thing.
We are a patient group of diehards -- after all, since inception in 1967, we have not won it all. Yet, we still continue to show up and yell, "Fraser sucks."
"Fraser sucks" - there is something all fans can agree on. except Leafs fans. we can never agree with them.
ReplyDeleteLet me take a moment before the action heats up to wish a warm welcome to all our visitors from StLGT. lap dances for everyone! Long live Bernie Federko!
St. Louis isn't a total writeoff as a team, they have a decent goalie and lots of good young players, and they're in the Stamkos Sweepstakes, so that'll help. Maybe because I see them play the Canucks a few times a year and they always give Vancouver tons of trouble.
ReplyDeleteI forsee a Habs win tonight, but not without a couple Brad Boyes goals. He's the best player in the NHL the Eastern Conference has never heard of. Hell, even the other Western divisions aren't very familiar with him.
@msevigny - i agree, Blues could be a decent team. at the beginning of the season people had them pretty highly rated. it's gone to shit, but young talent is still there
ReplyDeletek we've got St Louisers (St Louisians? St Losers? St Louisites?) lurking so this better be good
ReplyDeletewe're fucked
four whiskeys down, 6 beers to go. then i'll feel better
Hey Habs fans and everyone with funny accents.
ReplyDeleteThis is Brad Lee from St. Louis Game Time. Feel free to stop by the live blog. We welcome everyone, even Quebecians.
www.stlouisgametime.com
Koivu a penalty in the offensive zone. there's a surprise
ReplyDeletekill me
ReplyDeletek where's my meth?
ReplyDeletecross check OR dive. can't have both.
ReplyDeleteFucking damn good work by that line. who was on that line? i cant kkep track with Carbo
ReplyDeletesolid ending to the period. first 16 minutes, bleh.
ReplyDeleteDamion, if you're out there, I admit Gui! was our best player that period
7 dollars...jesus. calgary hitmen 'cheap' tickets are like 23 bux. and that's 2nd level !
ReplyDeleteflames have sport chek zone tickets for 30 plus all the usual ticketbastard taxes
The Canucks start at fifty. I think I paid 120 for two nosebleed seats last time I was at GM Place.
ReplyDeletejesus we are crap here.
ReplyDeletethat is all
Been travelling and this is the first game I'm watching in 3-4 weeks. Montreal looked good in the standings, but they're getting schooled by St. Louis. Have they been playing like this for the last couple of weeks?
ReplyDeleteCheG you have not picked a good game to come home to. we have played much better than this.
ReplyDeletefucking FSN Midwest feed has former Blues heavy Noel Picard on, who, along with the commentators, have yet to make a single -- not kidding -- a single comment about the game being played. NOT a fricken word. "How old do you think Beliveau is" "Ho, I dunno. maybe 77." And the camera flashes and fixes on Beliveau WHILE PLAY IS GOING ON.
ReplyDeleteFuck the Blues and their crappy TV coverage. YOU ALL SUCK.
hf29, i feel that this has actually become a somewhat disturbing trend...see Habs vs Coyotes, Kings, Ducks, Sens, Islanders, did I miss anyone?
ReplyDeletematt you got them all. im in total denial i think
ReplyDeleteYes! but we have a lead, somehow
and as i type we lose it. we deserve that
Yeah, I had hoped that players being knocked down and even falling all over the ice by themselves, blinking on shots after scoring a goal, and generally looking foolish was an exception to the norm.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it's a night for funny goals. I'm sure we'll all see Teskala's blooper many times.
I miss the bruins.
ReplyDeleteBreezer-Hamrlik on the point of the PP. kill me.
ReplyDeletejohn davidson looks about 10 years older than when he was on MSG network.
ReplyDelete33, you got em twice this week. can we sweep an 8 game season series?
ReplyDeletenot at this rate
wow........
ReplyDeleteway to battle for first boys.......looks like my adult safe hockey league team out there.
jeebus we suck. no defense. not much offense either
ReplyDeleteDear Hockey Gods,
ReplyDeleteI don't usually ask for wins except against Ottawa New Jersey, and Toronto. I'm not even going to ask for a win tonight. But please, make all the remaining MTL losses OTLs?
Thanks!
not slaggin on pleks, but he must lead the league in faceoff ejections.
ReplyDeleteWorth Repeating:
ReplyDeletemontréaliste1 said... Brad who ?
Boyes. St. Louis loves Boyes.
Yay Bouillon finally lands a successful hit!
ReplyDeleteA question (to distract us from the poor hockey display): is that a graphic of a habs goalie (Roy?) hoisting the cup on the right side of Halak's goalie mask?! That's as stupid as the "Ole" chant 10 minutes before the end of the game at the phone booth, except dumber.
ReplyDeleteI miss the old days when the closing the hand on the puck was somehow called a "delay of game" penalty.
ReplyDeleteMilo I knew who he was. i wouldn't have taunted. fuck.
ReplyDeleteDamion I think it is. sacrilege
ReplyDeleteHabsFan29 said... Milo I knew who he was. i wouldn't have taunted. fuck.
ReplyDeleteNow all of your Hab friends know, too.
Heh, heh, heh.
it's like touching the confrence trophies before the cup. YOU JUST DON'T DO THAT.
ReplyDeleteHow do you say that in Slovak? "Don't fuck the goat with testes?"
14 shots after 40 minutes...sounds like my university days.
ReplyDeleteThis is bad. Not Michael Jackson - with a slight shade of white lighter, and with just enough blackness to keep me entertained - Bad.
ReplyDeleteThis is Eric Roberts in the Coca Cola Kid bad.
if Carbo screams at them in the room between periods, do they listen? let's fucking hope
ReplyDeleteHabsFan29 said... if Carbo screams at them in the room between periods, do they listen? let's fucking hope not
ReplyDeletetime to find out. Gulp
ReplyDeleteI always hate when people write "gulp". That's not even close to the sound it makes. You know?
So, can we agree that this "not changing a winning lineup" policy can be changed?
ReplyDeleteJust because Smolinski and Brisebois happened to be in the lineup during a win doesn't mean they actually had anything to do with that win. If Carbonneau doesn't see O'Bryne and Lapierre as an improvement to the lineup over those two then he must be crazy.
I don't see why it always has to be Grabovski or Lapierre, why can't it be Lapierre over Smolinski? Lapierre is a much better shutdown guy at this stage. The only thing that shows from Smolinski's "veteran experience" is his age.
matt it NEEDS to change. fuck
ReplyDeletenever mind it drew a penalty, why was Slowinski out with Kovy and Big Tits?
YES!!! Way to go Grabs
ReplyDeleteTHAT's Habs hockey. One Euro making a nice pass go another Euro who buries it
ReplyDeletefuck we're lucky to be tied
@33: It's a tough sound to write, isn't it? How would you say it should be done?
ReplyDeletethees teem sheet. Coach sheet. team haff no balss, play like leetle grls. I play perfect, teem make mistake, 3 goals behind my ass. I het zis sheet teem. I no beeleev game only tied. thees sheet. I see Breezer, he play sheet of all.
time for the number 1 line (kovy, pleks, big tits) to get some points.
ReplyDelete@fez: you know what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteI should ask you to write the next one!
@fez: it's more of a "mgp!" than a gulp don't ya think?
ReplyDelete#1 PP my ASS
ReplyDelete@33: I would even drop the 'p' at the end. There's no 'puh' sound at the end of a gulp, because it's all done with the throat... Not even a stop with the lips. It's probably more like 'Mg'. Which is probably why people write 'Gulp'.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to write sometime. But it'd be fun doing one 'from the bench'. I'd love to imagine what Halak thinks of Carey's play style.
Habs don't even deserve a point imho
ReplyDeleteHF29 - It's not about deserve, it's about getting lucky! And to be fair, they do have more shots on goal.
ReplyDelete@29: Isn't that the mark of a good team? That they get points when they don't deserve them? Maybe that's lucky.
ReplyDeletea good team plays 60 minutes, 40 on a bad night. we played maybe 20
ReplyDeletewow. Breezer went down low and completely failed to keep the puck. Grabs saved his ass letting him get back to the point
ReplyDeleteGood point - I guess it's a mark of St Louis as a bad team they couldn't capitalize on the Habs' very poor play.
ReplyDeletehey, 90 points.. still, we play like that in the playoffs and we get swept
ReplyDeleteoh saku
like a said, we didn't even deserve a point. meh.
ReplyDeletebrutal....this was supposed to be a gimme.
ReplyDeleteterrible games of late (despite our record), this is a bad time of year to be playing llike this. better get the house back in order soon...
Thanks for the two points, Habs fans!
ReplyDelete/Good luck in the playoffs.
//We won't be seeing you there.
3-7 against the west this year. those 3 wins were against non-playoff teams and we still got outplayed in at least 2 of them.
ReplyDeleteThankfully we don't play in the West.
hey 33 what do we do for a shootout los in the standings? i still don't undersatnd. and I am a purist
ReplyDeleteThis team is sheeet when playing against other sheeeeeeet teams.
ReplyDeleteIt was like poo vs. poo out there tonight. The Bell Centre hasn't been that stinky since the circus came to town...
@29: the s.o. loss means that at the end of overtime we were tied. It would have been a tie game without the shootout.
