Running out of Jersey cliches, Habs versus Devils, Parise/Kovalchuk/Brodeur vs Gomez/Pleks/Markov blah blah blah 7:00 at the Bell Centre. Let's get to the music! (Apologies to moeman, 29, and the hairmetal stylings of one Mr. John Francis Bongiovi, Jr.)"Born To Be Our Goalie"
Your dad was a goalie back in the day
Took up photography 'cause of bills to pay
Now you're the French goalie that got away
Our love, our Cups
Wish back then they'd drafted you with pride
Wouldn't need a good offence with you on our side
Without you our Cup hopes fade and die
Our dreams, our pride
You beat the Habs like a drum (all night)
Shut them out and score one (your play is airtight)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside
You were born to be our goalie
And Marty, we were made to be your fans
Coulda had something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the seasons
We could have had if you had been the man
Cause you were born to be our goalie
And Marty, we were made to be your fans
Win two Cups, blow the world away
Two Olympic golds also on your tray
You ain't fancy, Marty that's OK
Your time, your way
When your team keeps it close better hang on tight
Buckle up, Marty, it's a bumpy ride
Habs are fighting for their playoff life
Our world, our fight
If the Habs play real hard (all night)
There's a chance they'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be fine
In my heart till the day that I die
Cause you were born to be our goalie
And Marty, we were made to be your fans
Coulda had something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the seasons
We could have had if you had been the man

ReplyDeleteWV = hothump, as in, so close to hothumb
Speaking of lighters saw Billy Talent at Scotiabank last night. Great show!
ReplyDeleteAs for tonight I can see us putting up a good one... NJ can`t win em all against us. Moen is my predicted hero although I can see some revenge against old team goals from Gio or Jose Tequila.
Predictions?
wv: Preading. NJ has been sucking and Preading the Habs teat for points for too long now.

ReplyDeleteThat hair must've had it's own roadie.
ReplyDeleteI think Denis Brodeur is one of the coolest.
I'm totally calling Gomez Richie Sambora from now on. They could be twins.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to going to the game tonight!
ReplyDeletewv bundl: The Habs will score a bundl on Marty tonight!
What a collapse by the Flames. They lost 5-0 to the Bruins today, putting the playoffs essentially out of reach for them.
ReplyDeleteThat's what you get for stacking your team with ex-Leafs.
Lapierre and Darche Vader scratched tonight. RDS explosion in 5, 4, 3...
ReplyDelete@N31 - RDS explodes no matter what. If Laps played better, he'd be in the lineup. it's a simple equation. btw, i hope your hamster and vacuum cleaner have reconciled
ReplyDeleteok kids im going out to a party. it features dinner, so maybe that counts. be excellent to each other.
Won't be around until much later kidz but I'm dropping in to say;
ReplyDeleteThank You Pat Burns for every thing you gave to hockey.
... and ...
Go you fucking Habs!
Apparently the Habs didn't have an official representative at the dedication of the Stanstead rink to Burns. Not cool.
ReplyDeleteIf the Habs got the Devils in the playoffs, do we get free GO HABS GO pillows or snuggies instead of towels?
ReplyDelete2-on-1 between Pleks and Gorges? Mind = blown. Of course Gorges can't bury it.
ReplyDeleteOK whatever that period was dull...
ReplyDeleteMISSING: POWER PLAY
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this PP? Often seen putting pucks in net, answers to "Shoot!". Very valuable to owner, has won blue ribbons in the past (though best days are behind her). Last seen before Olympics. If seen please contact:
Montreal Canadiens
(514) 790-2525
REWARD OFFERED ("No.1" goalie)
Maybe I'll go do homework now
ReplyDeleteAK46!
ReplyDeleteWOOT!
ReplyDeleteDuring intermission they showed some clips from what appears to be a Don Cherry biopic.
ReplyDeleteIt looks laughably bad.
Are they affraid of not being down? Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteOh good, a PP!
ReplyDeletezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Any word on CBC on how badly Metro is hurt? Nothing on RDS yet.
ReplyDeleteAs for Darche & Lapierre, clearly they are being rested for the playoffs.
That's right, you better make up for that shit.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit! A transversal pass and a goal.
ReplyDeleteWhat next, a shooter in the high slot?
Fucking Zubrus, was a useless Hab.
ReplyDeleteHas English become the official soul language of the NHL referees?
ReplyDeleteDid everybody turn off their interwebs for Earth Hour? I thought wireless would be allowed.
ReplyDeleteCJAD says Metro is gone with an upper body injury, not sure how severe yet, being checked out.
ReplyDeleteThe Devils are intentionally stepping away from the coverage in front of the net on shots to double the screen. Smart.
ReplyDeleteThis Earth Hour thing makes it hard to type and even harder to drink. I can't find the Duvel bottle to refill my glass.
ReplyDeleteHF10: It's a devils' game - everyone's asleep.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard anything on Metro but from the look of him going to the room I'd bet shoulder.
ReplyDeleteGo away, Devils. Does sprinkling salt on them work?
ReplyDeleteGod I hope they don't meet the Devils in the first round. Not (just) because I don't think they have a chance, either.
ReplyDeletezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Well that was odd... Sergei seemed to be the only one interested in trying to win a puck battle with the net empty... And Markov was just standing there instead of grabbing the stationnary puck.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I hope they get the Sabres for the playoffs...
CBC said Pleky and Kostitsyn had an off night? Maybe, but they scored the only goals for an off night.
First time ever that Le Canadien did not have a Quebecois forward in the line up. Wow.
ReplyDelete@b - Bergeron? He's really a forward who thinks he's a defenseman. (Though right now he's not really doing anything...)
