Okily-dokily.
After losing the Jagr and Talbot sweepstakes to the PHucktards (I thought that was illegal in Pennsylvania), Habs have replaced Alex Auld with Peter Budaj. Stupid sexy Flanders.

"Does Eric Cole have anything left in the tank? At least it'd keep him from scoring against the Habs." ~ HF33 Let's hope there's gas and its high-octane. Needs a nickname, 'Tank', 'Pump', ...?

But... Budaj sucks. Price to play 82 games this year?
Erik Cole is a Hab. 4 years, 4.5 per. Likelihood of putting up better numbers than Pouliot in year 2 of this albatross contract? Anyone?
Likelihood of being injured in the season opener?
ryder to stars, 3.5 million a year for 2 years. what makes them think, after failing to find consistency in montreal and then boston, that he would ever be worth that? southerns are stupid.
HF33 had it right. As long as he's not scoring against us, I'm happy to have him. Welcome to Montreal, you magnificent bastard!
***southerners. i, apparently, am also stupid.
Chicken signs with Boston. I guess Ryder's departure left a talented-inconsistent-sniper-castoff-from-Montreal slot open. 1 year, 1.1.
BTW Pippa ass with Kates face is ok
Cole a genuine power foward. I would have offered Jagar 3.5 instead for one year.
Now lets see if Cole can score with a Mexicant
mcsplooge just unloaded on the Cole deal and is now smoking a cigarette.
The Dallas Stars are now the 03-04 Canadiens!
also HAHAHAHAHAHA Jagr.
So...I wonder what Jack Edwards thinks of Benoit Pouliot now considering he called him the most disappointing NHLer ever.
Happy with our GM. He didn't go ridiculous. Auld's back in Ottawa, we get the happy Slovak (maybe Ubisoft sells ad-space on his mask since he has Assassin's Creed on it), and kept up with that "sign a guy who scores a lot on the Habs to score FOR the Habs" thing.
@moeman, too funny!
Improved the line up, money still left to sign Konopka... Budja will play 15-20 games, Cole isn't a Gomez, but the day was made with Boston signing Pouliot...
Not a home run, but Gauthier made positive moves...
Gonna be good;

I wish he succeeds but if he falters et nous fait chier, he becomes E. Coli in my glossary of juvenile nicknames.
IS that all...I think we got pwned. gave up curtis sanford too and chose Budaj? it has been said before, he sucks, he played for last years ultra tanking Coorsorado lavalamps wtf? Sanford was like the best AHL goalie for the last two years. And was Auld aul that bad? don't understand that trade one whit. And great now we got to recovering vertebrae fractures.Besides getting rid of CHicken, I don't see one good move.
I came on here looking to suggest The Lump as Cole's new nickname, but E. Coli is too perfect to pass up. Well done, Yvresgyros.
As for Budaj - Siddhartha? Or Aebischer? or Jaro 1.1?
Overpaid for Cole? Yes
Term too long? Yes
But that's the market, baby!
It's obvious. He was signed as a mentor for Miracle Max on how to play hockey with a broken neck. Simple.
And Budaj? Meh, whatever.
I'm still holding a faint, delusional hope that the Panthers will take Gomez off of our hands (they're still about 10 million from the floor - I'm guessing here) so the Habs can offer Brichards a hefty contract.
Happy Canada Day. Back to the BBQ and cooler. Cheers.

Not much of a monarCHist (when it reigns it poors) but Kate was simply sublime in Canadian red and white. Looks like a sweet gal. Looked fab today.
Speaking of fab toady, Cole!
Just checking TSN's free agent tracker, the Laffs have not signed one single player. Looks like Blowhard Burkie couldn't attract the Walking Dead to Tranna. I guess that are trying to go big or stay home and put all their efforts in getting B. Richards.
Won't matter if they do. With a goaltending tandem of Reimer and the Monster looks like the leaf will be out of it by the end of October, if not sooner. Heh.
RDS says Gio! called Cole (NB - same agent) to seal the deal. Gas up FHFers!
I like 'Lumpy' but I also like 'Slaw'
Budaj = "Boo!Die!1!" nah that's too harsh even for me...maybe "Poodle?"
lots of money being thrown around the league.
Cole was a little pricey but he's the real deal.
Personally prefer Lump to E. Coli or slaw, has more game potential: ..."Lumped the shaved ape into unconsciousness".
We are Brad Richards away from planning the parade.
B. Richards will be a Hab for sure.
Moe, agree re: Kate, love her fashion sense.
Don't know if FHFer's are aware, I read some time ago that Peter Budaj is very, very religious. Hence Ned Flanders on the back of his helmet.
religion, schmeligion, stop the puck!
Allah akbar.
Richards a Ranger.
leaf sux.
@moeman: 9 years!!! the guy's 31!!!
60M$ over 9, no way I greenlight that deal, no matter how much I want him.
It's not the $ x year, even if pro-rated, it's the 9 years.
Seeing Kate yesterday almost made me start a Revolution to restore the rule of the monarchy. A revolution in my pants!
Like 33 said, I'll let the Habs pay Cole that much to keep him from scoring on us. Would have liked to see Richards stay in the West, but the Rangers is the next best thing. It's where star players go to die.
As far as Cole nickname for your consideration, he is a power forward, and coal makes power, but in Quebec its all Hydro, so how about Hydro?
@Steve: Hmmmm....that's a consideration along with Lump and though Lump has a lot of possibilities... Hydro...(my hand is scratching my chin) we could probably get creative with that come crunch time.
Off to another drunken good time, a wedding (on a Sunday, American cousins must be coming into town).
Cheers!
Oh ya, the PHucks booed Kate, no political organizing behind that,was probably a spur of the moment emotion...NOT!!
I often thought about making T shirts by printing hockey card and then ironing them on. I tried it a couple of times and iron on transfers suck.
However with all the old farts coming back I did a hockey card blog and it even has a Steve rookie card.
