- The Habs-Bs previews are starting to pour in from everywhere except FHF (we're drunk). From the MSM we've got: The Gazette, TSN, and The Globe and Mail;
- From the Boston Globe: Sox let one get away;
- From the blogs we've got JT and Dennis Kane;
- The shaved gorilla "will not be questioned or arrested" when the Bs come to Montreal for Game 3;
- We've got predictions too. Of all the ESPN guys only Burnside had the balls to pick the Habs. THN likes the Bs in 6. And guess who Don Cherry picked. We bet you guessed right;
- Puck Daddy ranks the first round series in terms of excitement or watchability or something. Guess which series is the best. We bet you guessed right;
- The Leaf are Cup contenders, according to a delusional Ron Wilson;
- The Wild fired coach Todd Richards;
- The NHL will start next season in Europe;
- Ken Hitchcock will coach Team Canada at the IIHF championships in Slovakia, a team that will be loaded with Leafs.

ReplyDeleteI read this article and I had to post it here.
ReplyDelete"Selon les chercheurs de l'Université de Toronto, la LNH devrait compter douze équipes au Canada: deux équipes à Toronto, une autre équipe dans le sud de l'Ontario (Hamilton, London ou Kitchener-Waterloo), deux équipes à Montréal et Vancouver, et une équipe à Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa, Winnipeg et Québec."
On cyberpresse.ca
Did I read something about Ryan The White going off to the hospital and unavailable for the first game against The Beaners?
ReplyDeleteI think Habs fans should gang together and win this charity auction for Right to Play.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be hilarious to see Chemmy from PPP choke on his own bile rooting for the Habs. And also because it's a good cause.
We cant lose our only goon, bring back BGL.
ReplyDelete" Scott Gomez has the puck"
ReplyDelete"Scott Gomez has Stanley Cup Experience"
Go Stanley Cup Gomez Go
Okay I know this isn't exactly the place to come to for gravitas (I think it's a legal term, go look it up) but could we please please please not mention the whole Chara police investigation thing again? Cause quite frankly, it's just fuckin' embarassing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get here first but I might be able to stick around for longer than 5 comments.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Down Goes Brown Did a preview now, too.
GO BRUINS!
Steve, BGL not a goon, he'll only fight if you argue over tofu.
ReplyDelete"TD Garden installing xtra stanchion post for the first round."
Broons sucks
Hi Cornelius Hardenbergh
ReplyDeleteMontreal wins if Tomas gets bored stopping 5 or ten ladyshots from the boards per period, and Squid or Tits pops a goal. You will not score one goal on even strength, and at the Bell center, all communications to Collie and Buttman will be blocked, so we just need to luck out with one win in Boston and your on the golf course.
Yes, let's talk about even-strength scoring.
ReplyDeleteBecause Boston was the best team at even strength all year in the NHL. Montreal weighed in at 18th.
*you're
Hi Cornelius,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, if the B's lose out in the first round will the Boston faithful throw Chara under the bus like they did Joe Thornton?
Expect to "see" you hanging around here the next few days.
Hi,Cornelius Hardenbergh
ReplyDeleteThat was the regular season, Chocula is going to bring out the playoff notebooks and implement the Playoff System.
Plus we have Scott Gomez playoff experience.
Bratislava is where the losers will play for national glory, except Phil Kessel who was to tired to play any more hockey, even lady international hockey, he needs to rest, betcha he comes into training camp at 300lbs.
ReplyDeleteI bet your real proud of Phil Cornelius.
Not only will Boston lose to Montreal, Canada will beat the USA, and we have Celine on defense and a guy who could not crack the leaf lineup in goal.
Maritimer - No, the dude's huge. No way we can lift him up OR he fits under the bus.
ReplyDeleteSteve - if I remember correctly the playoff system is "trap trap trap trap trap and pray" no?
As for Playoff Experience, the only guy in the east with more playoff games under his belt than Mark Recchi is Chris Pronger.
Hi,Cornelius Hardenbergh
ReplyDeleteYou are correct sir, the playoff system has more traping, less shooting and way way more praying.
Hi,Cornelius Hardenbergh
ReplyDeleteRecchi will not finish the series, his verbal diarrheal has caused a disruption in the force. Instant Karma is going to get him.
If it was truly "instant," I don't think the Bruins would have trounced the Habs 7-0 the game after he said it.
ReplyDeleteHow'bout we make that a 4 game serie, and give the Bastards a 3 game lead before it starts.
ReplyDeleteWould daddy C call it hockey play.
Broons suck
Habs vs B's!
ReplyDeleteCornelius vs FHF!
Spring is here. yay. but so are exams..sigh
In the 2010-11 NHL season, only one team from the 'Original Six' failed to make the Stanley Cup playoffs. That team is:
a) Montreal Canadiens
b) Chicago Blackhawks
c) Detroit Red Wings
d) Boston Bruins
e) New York Rangers
f) none of the above
@Bill 10-4
ReplyDeleteIts a good thing Cornelius is not your average Broons fan, that test could paralyze your standard beaner for at least a week.
Cornelius -Instant Karma can be delayed due to many factors like
"Scott Gomez has the puck"
Where's the hate ???
ReplyDeleteWhere the fuck is the hate ???
This is The Fuckin Beaners, The Anti-Habs. The bad smelling fucking thugs from The City That Talks Funny. It's like some kind of love fest here ... Jebus...
Fuck Fuck Boobs Fuck ...Boobs.
I am pacing myself, do not want to be all out hated by game time.
ReplyDelete@bill
ReplyDeleteBruins fans know where Toronto finished the year, because we have their 1st-round pick this year again.
@chester
go dive into a burning cop car
There we go, that's better. All this civilized conversation between Habs and Beaners is just fucking wrong. It goes against Mother Nature. On a more refreshing note, I'll be starting to build the first level of my Shrine tonite. Always a happy time. Something the Leaf wouldn't know anything about.
ReplyDeleteAt this stage of my life, I can't bring myself to "hate" a hockey team anymore. The Montreal/Boston rivalry is the best in the league. The series will be really close, I will be very surprised if there are any blow-outs. I do dislike certain teams and at the top of the list is:
ReplyDelete1. New Jersey Devils - can't stand the trap and Fat Marty pisses me off because he always gave the Habs fits.
2. Carolina Hurricanes - they injure our best players (Koivu and Markov) and Eric Cole was fucking poison.
God it's going to be hard to cheer for Team Canada at the world championship because there are so many crappy leafs on the team. TSN will be sucking leaf arse hard covering that tournament. Burkakke will get lots of face time I'm sure.
GYFHG!!! the Bruins are our bitches!!
@Cornelius
ReplyDeleteSome thoughts.
Looked at your blog.
It sucks.
I'm guessing that no one reads it.
Hi Cornelius Hardenbergh
ReplyDeleteHow did your Toronto pick from last year work out, will we pay attention to him in the playoff?
What do Broons fans think of Fat Phil? Miss him badly?
@Boob - Do you have a blog?
ReplyDelete@steve - Seguin is promising and picking up his game. Not sure how much he plays, especially if we can turn Michael Ryder into Rough Ryder
@ 10-4; be nice to corney or he'll shove your head in a stanchion post. Daddy C will call that a blog play
ReplyDeleteCorney has to come up here to see what it's like to have comments posted on a blog.
Didn't the Bastards give that 1st pick back to the leaf for Kaberle?
broons suck.
Hi,Cornelius Hardenbergh
ReplyDeleteThat Ryder thing was cool, but it would have been better with him under the car.
Leafs got our 1st in the Kaberle trade, not their first back.
ReplyDeleteI know I have a shitty blog, before you really try to pursue that too much. There are maybe 2 or 3 posts I really am proud of in the few years of writing.
Though I do understand that you're worried about the series and would rather talk trash ad hominem than about the teams involved.
I walked over and TP'd Brad Marchand's parent's house last night. That's all the hate I can muster for the sad little Broons. I am sure they learned how to count to four since the last playoff.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you guys do your pantscast tonight, the guys over at Hockey (Habs) Inside Out just posted a puckcast.
ReplyDeletewv: "norrath" yet but as the wise Steve recommends: pace yourselves
ReplyDelete@C - point taken, but what really is the value of "previews" anyway? Barring freak golf cart or blender injuries, nuthin's happening for another 48+ hrs anyway (ooh! Gionta says Habs might win! Horton says B's are confident! stop the presses!)
@Cornelius
ReplyDeleteWhy talk about the teams? You have been, currently are, and always will be our complete and utter bitches. What else is there to say?
The manner of your unavoidable humiliation this year? I prefer to wait and see.
We could get into the specifics of the physical, spiritual, moral ugliness of the Bruins and their supporters.
We could speculate on when Claude Julien, who was fired by the two classiest organizations in hockey, will finally be fired by the shabbiest, and whether he will find work at Hockey Night in Canada. He will, by then, meet their hiring criteria: ex-Bruin, a failure, a proponent of thug tactics, and physically repulsive.
We could mention once again that all the intelligent Bostonians follow baseball - leaving only the Massholes to support the Bruins.
We could have an ethical debate on eugenics, and whether it was right to allow Milan Lucic to survive despite the fact that half his chromosomes come from an escaped orangutan from the Vancouver zoo.
But what would be the point?
Burkkake says his leaf and season was a fucking failure.
ReplyDeleteHe then took Qs from the genius CotU mediots.
clASSic Burkkake mindset;
CotU mediot: How was the reamer?
Burkkake: fabulous
CotU mediot: How was the coaching?
Burkkake: great
CotU mediot: How was kessposito?
Burkkake: excellent
CotU mediot: How was kadri?
Burkkake: better than expected
CotU mediot: How was Céline and your D.
Burkkake: top notch
CotU mediot: How was your bottom 3?
Burkkake: efficient
CotU mediot: How was Bozo-ack?
Burkkake: love the kid
CotU mediot: How were the fans?
Burkkake: fuck em
CotU mediot: How was the season?
Burkkake: a failure
@Boob: +24. Sometimes it's just not worth the trouble to dis a team and its fans. Particularly when they do the job themselves by their actions.
ReplyDeleteWV: mulpac - what the Habs' doctor recommends for sprains?
Hey, is there gonna be an open thread for the leaders' debate tonight, or do we need to make do with this one, Corney-bashing and all? Fuck knows there's no hockey...
@ Boob
ReplyDeleteLovely sentiments. You forgot to mention that our women have bigger boobs and are just generally hotter than Beaner women... and ... our beer is better.
Ya thats it.
