Our long national hockeyless nightmare of a summer is over. At 7:30 PM tonight, live from the Bell Centre and broadcast on RDS, Le Tricolore are on the ice for an actual hockey game. Sort of. It's exhibition for fuck's sake. We're excited, but we're not really excited. We want to watch, but we don't want to watch. Will you watch? Should you watch? Let's break it down to help you decide.Why You Should Watch: Hockey, fuck yeah!!!
Why You Should Not Watch: Pre-season hockey is usually as exciting as watching a 2-hour Americal Idol results show.
WYSW: Louis Leblanc! Louis Leblanc! Louis Leblanc!!!
WYSNW: RDS announcers spending 3 hours McSplooging over Louis Leblanc! Louis Leblanc! Louis Leblanc!!!
WYSW: To see how Montreal reacts to the beginning of the official Carey Price era (p.s. Jaro let in 3 goals on 18 shots last night for a .833 save %. Suck it, TFS haters).
WYSNW: You will feel sick when the crowd turns on him after letting in his first goal.
WYSW: Aaron Palushaj. By all accounts, he's been great so far and Squid is excited to play with him.
WYSNW: There's no chance he'll be in the lineup on opening day so who gives a fuck.
WYSW: It's the Bs for fuck sake! Any chance for hating is good. Cornelius, wherefore art thou?
WYSNW: Without Chara in the lineup, the hate just won't feel the same.
WYSW: What the hell else you gonna do?
WYSNW: Uh, anything?
See you in the comments. Or not.

Sing?
G Y F H ! Pantalons!!!
No Chara No Cry!
We could always get Tyler Seguin used to playing for the Bs by booooooooing him every time he touches the puck instead. Feel the love, kid! Welcome to the NHL.
If not, Horton Hears A Boo.
Every year I'm desperate to watch the first televised preseason game. But then again every year I think this year's All Star game will be fun.
only think I can think of is HOCKEY HOCKEY HOCKEY!
I'm so desperate I'll watch an exhibition game - gets you reved up for Oct. 7
(exhibition laffs lost 5-0 to Sens; made my day after TSN went on about how trucculent leafs practise had been - like a mean edge is goign to help them)
SQUID!!!
Don't mind me. Just getting some practice for tonight.
It's here! It's finally here!
GYFHG!!!
nice photoCHop, GG. Gets us back in the mood ...
Allons-y, let's go!
.833 sv% not GAA.
Good news, NHL is back, Bad news so is mcsplooge.
GYFHG
@GG11
One of my colleagues came up behind me while I was on the computer and saw this morning's masterpeice. She was not impressed.
Great Job, GG11!!! You are the best! :o)
Canadiens....FUCK YEAH!
I don't give a sweet, merciful shit (aka a Phaneuf) if it's preseason. It's hockey. I will watch. With no pants. And a semi. (Hey, it's only preseason...I save full wood for the regular season.)
GYFHG!
@LJ - thx, fixed. i gotta stop drinking at 7 AM
@Soperman
Not sure I'd be impressed either if I was a co-worker. I seem to have an out of body thing happening on this site. GG11 can post pics like that but JG, not so much. That said, enjoy!
@GG11
You should not use your initials, we are told never to type your name! :o)
Steve said : Leafs are gonna win tommoro
Quote from the TO STAR about Losers PP
Instead, the forward unit receiving the bulk of extra man time up front was the trio of Kris Versteeg, Nazem Kadri and Colby Armstrong. They got nothing done as the plan seemed to be, get the puck to Phaneuf at the point and see if he wound a Senator.
Louis Leblanc isn't getting enough ice time !!!
.... oh ... I should wait till the game starts ... sorry
oh CHester that made me laugh
here's some pre-game reading. BR has a classic column, telling the fans to support TFS while at the same time taking jabs at him. that's talent
http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/306682.html
soperman, GG's been outed by Boone over at HIO more than once.
JG: Thank you for your alter ego's ability to make and post your wonderful works of art. There's lots of FHF ladies too, as you know, so I'm sure you will throw them a bone on occasion.
Off topic (sort of). Mrs and Ms LD tell me the new Steve McGarrett is hawt. He's all right I guess. But he's no Jack Lord.
Why why why, whyning bunch. Bleu•blanc•rouge. That's all you need to know. Sit, go into the daze of the red on your brain. Skating all over the fucking place, puppin goals in and in and in. Keep it down in the back.
It's like dipping your toe in the water on your 1st summer dunk, or the 1st contact of scotch on your lips on a cool September night, or that first touch when your wife has been away for 2 weeks.
fuck man it's started again! yo-wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
So... Netflix comes to Canada AND the Habs start playing hockey again on the same day??
BE STILL MY BEATING HEART! WOO!!!!
(Granted, Netflix's selection thus far is utter shite and it's only pre-season hockey but I ain't lettin' nuthin' harsh my buzz, dammit!!)
In a McSploogian way, I love this place. Do I sound excited? GO YOU FUCKING HABS!
@ LD got to agree with your ladies; I watched the pilot just for him. He used to be on a vampire detective show on CTV a couple of years back an I remember thinking I'd let him bite me anyday/night (kind of like a brunette Eric for TB fans)
DROP THE PUCK ALREADY (DTPA - a new glossary term or should that be DTFPA?)
@bea - definitely DTFPA!, IMHO.
@LG77 - Just moved back from the US to Canada, and definitely one of the bigger drawbacks was the lack of full Netflix. On the other hand, we found last year that NHL Gamecenter makes a pretty good alternative ... and if your DVD player breaks midseason, it doesn't seem to be so necessary to fix it.
@GG (or JG, with or without the Pussy Cats) - I second soperman and LD, keep up the good work. And don't be afraid to throw the FHF ladies a "bone", as LD says ... ignore the idiots who complain about it, they're just freeloaders anyway.
I watched the leafs/Sens last night, how sad is that? Well, not quite as pathetic as the leafs looked. They were God awful. I enjoyed it with every fiber of my leaf hatin' being. Losers.
Habs tonight!! Damn straight I'm watching it. With a drink. Or two.
I'm going to wait a couple of weeks to formally toast (hmm..maybe a live sacrifice this year?) the 2010/11 season, but it does sort of feel like the first day back at school.
GYFHG!
@ L Dude
Yeah, I know - just figured her alter ego wasn't cool with that...
I'm waiting for Wendel Clark's Balls to show up here. Nothing brightens up a blog like bitter laffs fans.
@Sperman and LD's
I couldn't be happier to get back to work. DrGG not so much.
No idea what lies ahead. All depends on how twisted I feel at the moment, alter ego or no alter ego.
WOOOHOOOO!!!!GYFHG!!!!
so you guys promise to keep poking me to keep me awake, right?
Carbo looks stiff behind the desk. he holds a pen well, though
wooo! puck drop!!!!!!
zzzzzz
wasn'tt Brunet supposed ot be gone?
any boos yet for Price?
FUCK
TFS didn't look great on that one. oy
Please tell me that wasn't booing. Please.
Eeeww. Softie. Uh Oh.
Yet another goal off his own defenceman (though still not pretty...)
This Palushaj guy looks good, though.
the sky is falling
don't think carey had much chance there tho
well that was quick.
goodthing it means nothing
oh god now they're really booing
weel this is a pathetic start.
did I already mention it was a good thing it didn't count?
let me reiterate
me no likey
This is the weak squad, right? Our star sniper, #1 centre, and starting goalie play on Friday, right?
Right?
@GG, "@Sperman", best FHF typo ever.
TFS™ looked unTFS™-like on all 3 goals.
I'm now goign Zen.
it's a game to get the kinks out, to see the youngones and the screwiest booboos to occur.
ok worst period of the season is out of the way. it's all sunshine and lollipops from here!
Just got home from class, throw off the pants sit down to watch the game on the computer (some habits are hard to break). Nice young neighbour-lady comes knocking to borrow tools and I have to yell out 'JUST A MINUTE' while I very audiably search for my pants and take a good 2 minutes to get to the door. My seat in front of the computer is nicely laid out. I'm sure it totally didn't look like I was masturbating at all. I mean, everyone throws off their pants and plants themselves in front of the computer right when they get home and then answer the door flustered and out of breath, right?
And now I have to keep my pants on till she comes back. Or not...depending on how I want to approact this situation.
i stand corrected
I also want to note that the first thing I heard Carbo and the boys say when I tuned in was "All three goals weren't his fault" and I knew where this was going. And here's another. I'm having deja vu. Hard deja vu. Oh, and the crowd gets on him. Super. This is going to be a fun season.
christ SHG.
I may opt for u can dance canada.
can't be worse
spoke to soon. theyre booing already.
seriously poeple it's just an exhibition game
I feel like this is partially my fault. I went into work this morning all smug and taunting co-workers who are leaf fans.
No matter what happens tonight, or at any point in the future, just remember these are the the same Bruins who gave up a 3-0 series lead and 3-0 game lead to the Phlyers. Thinking about that is like being wrapped in my loving mother's bossom.
nice Moey.
you're now going to have to make it up to `price.
what does a rodeo star want for comfort food? heifers?
WV> ughtj!!!!! (price less)
@Moey - thanks for fessing up
hey - 17 shots so far. that's great right? awesome offence and uh
technically we can blame the Leafs for the dominant play of Bruins rookies.
they got 4 players in the first 2 rounds!!!
ok curtis sanford is in. we're saved!
@Bea & Bill,
While I was doing it I had the niggling feeling that it was gonna bite me hard in the ass tonight, but I just couldn't help myself.
Cue the comeback.
Take that shortie and shove it, you fuckers!
LAPPY!!!
The comeback is on, bitches!
Hey I remember those!
GGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!
Let me have this.
now RDS has a good excuse to interview all the Frenchies outside of the rookies.
@Moey, "While I was doing it I had the niggling feeling that it was gonna bite me hard in the ass tonight, but I just couldn't help myself.
", could easily be taken out of context, by a pantsless orangeman.
SuperPleXXXe!
Have I mentioned that the Broons have a history of giving up tremendous leads? Just making sure that someone has brought up the fact that Boston has recently given up huge leads, both in series and game form. As long as someone brought attention to the Beaners' habit of blowing laughably large leads.
Imagine id orangeman typed loads instead of leads.
WV = cremic
id = is, yes my Freudian slip is showing, NTTIAWWT.
@Moeman LOL
no surprise there.
pleks rules yet again.
Nice one, moeman. You sick bastard.
@moe
Excellent as always.
Thx FHFriends, I please to aim.
CHicken CHoked on that one.
Wow, this is...this is pretty intense for the preseason. I may have to sign in.
21-12 SOGs sounds like an cool album name.
Pyatt and Lapierre look like they're in a playoff game (and Pyatt seems a lot stronger and more physical than last year).
Pyatt-Eller-Lappy for the third line?
Lou-ee! Lou-ee!
Too early? Nah.
P.S. Anyone else having problems posting comments?
Things fine here ReeRee, orangeman's hands might be a bit tied up though.
Ri,
I've been having them for a couple of months, I don't get a WV the first time around. Pain in the ass.
@Moey - Yup. Missing WV and also a "Please try again later" or something message.
and in other news:
Momesso was plodding in his debut on the radio tonight
gotta go polish my spats now.
Ri,
Not only that, but you'd think with a registered google account you wouldn't have to type in your email and password every effin' time. *sigh*
Well, it's beddy bye time. 'Night all.
Oh well. Can't say they didn't try. There's always tomorrow. And Friday. And Saturday...
Bring on the truculent Sens, 29 fucking penalties in 2 games. Sure thing refs.
Okay maybe not tomorrow...
@moeman: Nope, always got one free one.
That was a good finish. I'm just glad there's nothing to cause controversy in Habsland after this game. Nope, nothing at all.
Did I mention the Broons gave up huge leads in the post-season last year? Just making sure.
Habs fans just hit a whole new level of stupid. In pre-season.
Other than that... Tinordi: Can we keep him?
