And the Daytime Emmy goes to....THE HABS!

I know I should be concentrating on the glorious B's and their continued success and dominance of pretty much everyone, but having being married to a Habs fan and living much much closer to Montreal, I've become glued to the train wreck called the Canadiens.

I really thought that being in the city Montreal the day they officially became awful (February 15th, 2009) would be the highlight of this trainwreck, it actually came this morning while listening to Team 990 on my way into work.

Les Habs are unfolding like Days of our Lives had an illegitimate child with General Hospital. And the latest on As the Habs Burns brings us a story of two Belaroooooshin brothers who apparently looooves the nose candy. While Carbonneau is mixing up the lines, they are doing lines. While Price clears the powder out of his crease, they are clearing powder off their noses. Each time the Ref blows the whistle, the Tits brothers think about blowing some rails. Oh man, I could go on all day. Remember when the Habs biggest problem was benching Kovelev?

I'm not one to really relish in the demise of other, but please, I am a B's fan and only human. So as I knock back my coffee this morning and indulge in some maniacal laughs, I begin to leave the Habs where they belong, in the past, and look forward to the redonk late winter/spring season that they B's are about to put on us.

GO BOSTON.

Apparently one constant failure/pit of despair is not enough...

The Toronto Maple Leafs, or the "Laffs" as many call them, are a constant disappointment to rabid hockey fans in the greater Toronto area. Once, the heralded team in O Canada, the Leafs are slowly drifting into red headed step child territory while the Habs rapidly becoming Canada's team. So why, one might ask, would you want to double the agony. Well today, TSN reports that the city of Toronto is looking to do just that. Perhaps they want a fresh start, perhaps they are into S & M, or perhaps they are just that dumb.

So here's to you, America's Hat ,keep striving for okness. There are a couple ex high school hockey coaches in the area who need work, good GM material. Let me know if you need their contact info for the new team.

Fuck the economy...

Who cares that WaMu just got bought out and the Dems and GOP are squabbling over the bailout...Savard and Ryder aren't "clicking" (after playing 2 games together)! The Bruins are deep into the preseason and Savy and Ryder still haven't generated many scoring chances. Time to signal the collapse, sound the sirens, beg for a bailout, and lose interest....blah blah blah.

In the spirit of the B's being the red headed step child of Boston sports, this popular attitude of finding some little issue quickly and use it as your reason to not show interest in the Bruins this season.

However, being one of the few New England faithful who actually gives a fuck about the Bruins, could care less about Tom Brady, and is soooo over the Red Sox, I would just give them a few more games to find some chemistry during the handful of pre season games left. Or Julien could God Forbid, change up the lines??

Anyway, I will finally get to see the B's first hand this season tomorrow when they take on Washington. All signs are pointing to Ovechkin playing who always seems to bring the nasty when playing Boston, but luckily our D is pretty solid right now. Something I haven't been able to say in some years now.

Timmy T made his first preseason start with a loss last night (against Detroit). Boston Herald's Harris said he looked shaky, but he did redeem himself quickly by stating loud in clear that Timmy T is the Bruins NUMBER ONE GOALIE. Hear that Manny? TIMMY T NUMERO UNO.
Yes Manny had a win, but lets compare the numbers shall we?

Thomas - GAA 4 Saves 36 Save % .900
Stupid - GAA 2 Saves 10 Save % .833

I'm one of those people who believe good will prevail in the end, and good is Timmy T.

Finally tomorrow night we get the pleasure of NOT having to look at the rainbow bangs of Rob Simpson and will test out a new rink side commentator, Naoko Funayama. Not gonna lie, the name concerns me. I'm a Vermonter, I'm allowed to be a little narrow with my stereotypes.

B's vs Dee-Troy-It again tonight. Looks to be Manny in net. God help us.

And for the record, I blame Manny Fernandez for the US Economy's recent collapse.

God Bless America.

Going, going...

The Habs try to act all french with their little frenchy coach and Maxipad, but really people, we know what's going on. They are Rouge, Rouge, and Rouge all over. The commie sect taking over the Habs can no longer be ignored. And as much as I hate the Flyers, they are taking on the role of Charlie Wilson, and stopping the Commies from progressing.
Keep your heads high and alert Philly. You have almost won the war, but you never know when Comrade Kovalev could actually decide to stay and fight. Good Luck!

Really though, the only way I can deal with the Flyers progressing in the playoffs is looking at is as a win for the USA.
