Nothing beats sitting down on a Sunday afternoon/evening for a hockey game. Especially when the local football team is over two months in to their season and still talks about both of their wins.
As per most home games, most GT staffers are at the game, so here is the thread, and a great picture of Youppi.
A few quick things to note about tonight's contest:
- Montreal has looked awful in their last two games, losing 6-1 in Boston on Thursday, and 2-1 last night at home to Philadelphia.
- Look for Carey Price to be in goal for the Habs. Jaroslav Halak played last night.
- Heavyweight Champion Georges Laraque visits tonight, perhaps a bout with David Koci is in our future.
- Sacre Bleu (or more accurately) "sacrebleu" is literally translated to "sacred blue," a reference to the Virgin Mary. It is used instead of swearing, and has fallen out of common usage in French vernacular in recent times.
- Fuck Detroit, which we prefer, is a reference to the entire Detroit area. We use it whenever possible, and highly recommend saying it. Not only is it profane, but it also keeps Mary out of it.

you could have thrown out some nice stats, like power play rank, all-time series records, trends and what nots. This the hundred aniversary of the Habs, which pre-dates the NHL, brings in a highly talented, youngish team. So far this season Montreal has played an inconsistent game. Usually finding themselves winning either because of great goaltending or a few timely power play goals while wholely getting out played most of the game.
Last weekend Montreal was smoked by the lowly Leafs. Last night the lost to the puzzled Flyers and only managed one goal against one of the worst teams at GAA in the league.
Carey is a beatable goatender and at the sametime capable of shutting a team down. Montreal is coached by former Blue Guy the Shadow. He was known for his incredible ability to shut down the top players on opposing teams and did unlike Ryan Johnson and also he could score some goals scoring twenty or more goals in a season five times(which crushes RJ’s season high of seven goals LOL).
Anyway it should be a fun game. The Blues should have the jump and hopefully they’ll take advantage of it.

Stats? What are those?! This isn’t football, this is HOCKEY!!!!! har har har . . .
I only base my optimism of this game on one thing . . . the East is weak; the West is NOT.
Oh, and TechnoViking can explode at just about any moment.

Bishop gets the start in goal; Holt is dressed as the backup. They’re rotating the three goalies up there.

Yeah, I was the first Weidler to be born at CMH (1961); my grandpa was born in Mount Olive, and my dad, my aunt, and my uncles were born in Litchfield.
I had a lot of good times in Staunton, before we moved and after, when I’d come back and spend summers there with my granparents on both sides. My mom’s mom worked at the school, so I used to go down there with her and shoot baskets in the gym and draw in the art room.

I’ve been writing about the Blues’ prospects for Game Time, The Game Night Revue, and at Hockey’s Future for more than ten years, ever since the days where the Blues’ “system” consisted of luminaries like Alex Vasilevskii, Mike Buzak, Tyler Harlton and Maxim Bets.

eh … a tie against an eastern conference team is less of a hassle… giving a point to Chicago the other night was painful, even if we did take the extra point.

Merde!
ENG for Rockford. 4-1 Hogs now.
Losing Regier may have hurt the Rivermen more than anyone thought.

a bench minor in overtime, the only thing missing from this game.

a lot of those “power plays” were like ten seconds long because they were cut short by a penalty.

for tkachuks shot can we just have someone fire one in from center ice while he stands in front of the net?

THAT one is better.

Jeez that ice almost as brutal as the officiating. We kill ten Hab poer plays and don;t win—-WOW. But how you say chose Tka-choke over Berglund on the shootout was strange, though if that puck doesn;t roll Walt scores there. Hmmm. I’m a little disappointed. A power play in overtime and we don’t score or take many shots.
My god we could field an all-star team with the players injured. Hope Kariya gets better real quick.
Maybe they could call when of the kids playing juniors up for nine games or so, in order to keep the skill level up? Just a thought, plus I really, really want to Livingstone play in the NHL and see how he looks at that level. Or maybe McRae could have a quick shot? Former London Knight scoring stars are doing pretty good in this league. Or maybe tell Eller to come on over NOW!
Or Palushaj pull a Kyle Okoposo?

Lodnod, same story crap ice taken care of by people with little or no knowledge. Also, when I was at the VA the other day I saw Ringlin Bros. circus trucks parked there. Probably just reset the ice and the temperature’s probably too warm inside. Warmth plus humidity equals shit ice.

At least the first Baby Mangino didn’t look like a fat Karl Marx with shades.

Then again, sadly, the “Mangino Rebuttal” (as I call it) looks more like Mark than the other one does.
With all that being said, I hope Mizzou falls straight on their asses in a couple weeks.

posted this in wrong place first time1 thats what 3 amber bock 24 ouncers do to ya!
notes form section 102 part trey
i decided to follow 3 players before the start of the game, perron, brewer and legace
before them, just for sean, the habs flag of all evil made it to the background of the jumbo tron. bad karma dude
not sure what they said about andy m, but as soon as they got him off the ice (102 is the blues tunnel section and i was a few rows lower than normal) they had to get even more help to drag andy down the tunnel, was not pretty.
ok. the easiest of the three. perron. grade f——. i’d throw in a few more minuses but he got an undeserved assist. first period he was taking short shifts, pretending to play d, everything was ok, then he forgot he had teammates. not once but 5 times. twice during 4×4 perron decided he was the only player on the ice. andy gets the boosfor benching perron, this is one game he SHOULD have, but seemed to reward the dude. perron finishes up the night (after throwing a shot to the net forgetting all about his teammates again that ends up netting perron an assist) getting EXTRA time, and of course perron decides to turn teh extra ice time into penalties. and then miss on the shoot out. if this was the only game i ever saw perron play, i’d expect him to spend the rest of his life in alaska
legace. b+. he was solid. he was mostly in position. his control of rebounds was good. he didnt win. manny gets a lot of props for "puck handling" i’ve never known why. again tonight he was safe. but safe is safe, not dynamic, not effective. not assist getting.manny was postiionally fairly solid. a few times the habs could have (and perhaps even SHOULD have) beat many but they didnt.
brewer b. brewer was interesting. solid on d (but so was jackman who isnt given the game time or money.) brewer was elite on special teams (mostly the pk) but his transitiion and offense was, yet again, less than the blues need. it was interesting to see him shift a few times on his "off wing" obvispusly during the pk which is not unusual but he also swapped a few times even strenght, and even swapped once for a complete shift with polak who had been his normal d mate. strange.
not sure what the announced crowd was. it was ok for a weekend game. not quite as immediately dreadful as the blues recent play would have lead me to suspect. we will see if that continus though.

I would have never guessed in a million years I would see this quote on an official NHL website. Straight from sharks.nhl.com:
“The San Jose Sharks and SVS&E Merchandise are having a Sharks Wine Connoisseur Promotion to introduce a brand new line of Sharks-themed wine accessories for the wine-drinking Sharks fans.”
Whatever happened to manly products for hockey fans, beer mugs, foam fingers, and big signs that say “FUCK DETROIT?” Ok, so that last one is Game Time specific, but seriously. WTF?

By the way, if no one has deduced by this point that I’m hammered, you are not paying ANY attention to anything that’s going on . . . now are ya?
The Ducks come to town on Friday. I personally hope that NO ONE boos Pronger. We can’t blame HIM for a previous ownership regime that was filled with retards.
With that being said, Giguere deserves Goal Sodomy.

King I boo Pronger because of the stupid plays he makes. By that I mean the childish penalties he takes and often goes overboard with to the point of hurting somebody at often the wrong times of games. that’s why I boo him. Also because he had a chance to resign here and sure as hell didn;t take that oppertunity. If he plays smart he is highly effective.
Trauma, I agree with most of what you wrote but I’m not completely sold on the Perron issues. His play is getting better. he most likely was in heaven as this was the first time he played against the team he grew up loving and also against his favorite player Kovalev. He made a few pretty set ups to Berglund. Soon they will connect on that play. That icing check was sort of iffy. The refs didn’t announce, signal the icing right away like they should, meaning they weren;t all on the same page there. At the same time Perron should have read the play better there.
