Yeah, we ain't that excited about Columbus either - Game Preview and Open Thread

Just sitting around bored. Hell, at least we have hockey again.

Waiting in line details - 7 PM start at the beautiful (?) Nationwide Arena. Blue Jackets coming off a solid win over the Oil and are 2-0-2 in their last 4 games. Habs coming off a bye week. In our only meeting last year, Habs were shutout.

Pay your cover charge to - Gotta give serious props to Light the Lamp. Keeping the faith on a hockey blog in a football town can't be easy.

Hot sexy Habs to watch - well at least Kovy and Pleks came out of the scoring closet last game with four points each. Tangy still leading us in goals, Markov in points.

Skanky Habs to watch - Gui!, you suck. You teased us with solid play for 3 games at the start of the season and now you have returned to your sucky ways of sucking. I think you should go suck in Hamilton. Little Tits has no points in his last 7 games, thanks to the sucky winger he has to play with now. When do we get into full Rhino panic mode? Are we there yet? And what about the sucky PP? Can we panic about that too?

Hot sexy BJ's to watch - all eyes on rookie Derick Brassard, leading the BJ's in points and the leading rookie scorer in the NHL. Face of the franchise Rick Nash is starting to come around with points in his last 3 games.

Skanky BJ's to watch - ahhh, who doesn't love a good skanky BJ?

Line-up du jour - Jaro gets the start tonight, TFS will go tomorrow. As for the fourth line, you guys always know before I do, so you can tell me.

We interrupt this preview to bring you a special news bulletin - Habs are for sale! No they're not! Balls-silly was mis-quoted! Blackberries for everyone! Gillett is broke! Liverpool rules! (well until that Hotspur disaster) Everyone freak out!

Post-game adult entertainment establishment - Kahoots looks like the crème de la crème of the Columbus adult scene. 150 dancers and delicious steaks? Sounds like heaven to me.

Let's talk BJ's in the comments

  1. My BJ's suck!
    Wait, let me rephrase that.

    I have 3 of them in my pool (none named Brassard). Nash is off to a slow start and killing me.
    I'm looking for UMMMMMMBERGER to score about 5 points against our Habs tonight though.
    Habs win 6-5.

  2. In response to the fear about "being like Ottawa last year"

    Good starts in October usually mean good things for NHL teams.

    League number crunchers have found the past four Stanley Cup champs have a combined record in October of 33-4-6.

    Tampa went 6-0-1 in October of 2003. Carolina was 8-2-1 in October of 2005 while Anaheim was 9-0-3 in October of 2006 and Detroit went 10-2-1 last year.

  3. Picked up Brassard in my pool yesterday.

    5-4 Habs. Brassard with 3 points. Please.

  4. For the last time, no BJ's in your pool, kids!

    Wait, that didn't sound right.

  5. it's alright, he's my bench center after h. sedin and datsyuk. i just needed a depth centerman, and my pool has 18 teams so no depth in the FA list.

    he's in my line-up tonight, though.

  6. I've got five habs in my pool...do I need to check into re-hab for this addiction?

    What are the chances of a power play consisting of pleks, the kostits bros, gui, and markov lighting the lamp for a half dozen goals or so?

  7. i drafted brassard on draft day as my 'future franchise' player. he's sitting on my IR right now, but with datsyuk, cammalleri, and stastny as my 3 centres, i'm seriously considering moving datsyuk for a top dman or LW and making brassard my 3rd centre. keeper league too but i can only protect 6.

    Stay outta the penalty box!!!

  17. it's so bittersweet when Breezer scores

  18. I fucking hope this game is a wakeup call that they can't rely on a sharp goaltender to save their indisciplined asses.

    Jaro is definitely having a brutal night, but possibly if the Habs hadn't spent a third of the game in the box we wouldn't be losing to the freaking Blue Jackets.

  19. Yeeeeaaahhhh booooiiii, 3-3!

    ReplyDelete
  20. TITS! and more TITS!

  25. /takes bow

    atta way to lose the puck tangy

    ReplyDelete
  26. we got what we deserved in the end

    ReplyDelete
  27. Don't get me wrong, this loss was a team effort. But as a Halak fan I have to say it looked like he was trying to lose on principle.

    Enough with this one game a week shit by the way (especially when the week is bookended by the Isles and the BJs).

    ReplyDelete
  28. Totally was listening to the Bulldogs shit the bed instead. 3-1 Aeros with an empty netter boooooo but hey Patches, D'ag, Chips, Lehoux (only Dog who scored in the 1st), Maxwell almost got it but were stoned. Weber nearly took the Aeros netminder's arm off with his shot. These radio guys are dorky though.

    1 point. Meh. BJs are boring. I saw a bit of the game while eating at Abbie's. WTF is with interference not looking like interference anyway? Can people play hockey please? Seriously, you sneeze on someone these days and you go to the box.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I waited a week for this???

    "Have-lack-of-ability-to-stop-puck" was brutal.
    I have a half squirrel eaten leftover pumpkin on my front lawn that if you duck-taped a stick to it, could have at least stopped 1 of those shoot out goals.
