  1. Holy shit that's u?? Ur one fierce looking mother f&cker!!! Talk about hate.... (cool pic by the way, who took it??)
  2. The thing that worries me is that the quality last year was way better than what it's been so far. They may be having problems with their "high speed" version, but that's still no excuse. They might have tried bettering the product and screwed it up in the process.. Whatever the case, FIX IT FAST!!!
  3. They better not cause I'm gonna come hunting them down. The quality has been garbage so far. Nothing like what it was during the playoffs last year. I have high speed as well, but I only seem able to connect to the low crap quality. I also tried watching the Leafs game on CH Express and even that was a disaster... :contract:
  4. Sorry to break it to you bud, but you didn't respect the deadline. That means your contribution isn't valid. Tough luck..
  5. Thank you very much BTH. Your spot on about TK. A lot of people get excited about the fancy players on our team but tend to overlook other ingredients which are needed in order to have a successful team. I'm gonna take the liberty to re-post something which i wrote a couple of weeks ago..... Listen, I know I'm a little bit biased cause he's Greek, but Kostopoulos has a lot of attributes that every successful winning team needs. A) He doesn't complain, doesn't need to play a lot of minutes, or dress every game B) He'll lay his body in front of a truck if he has to C) He's cheap D) Will stand up for his teammates even when they do something foolish like steal a purse.. Yet his most important intangible is that he has the heart of lion. And he proved it time and time again last year. Just remember that when a lot of his teammates were turtleing during the Playoffs, he wore his heart on his sleeve. Every successful team needs at least one player like this. Look at Detroit's success. You think Detroit doesn't have better players/prospects than Chris Chelios and Sandy McCarthy? They do, but Detroit has understood what these guys bring to the team. I know it's a little ludicrous to compare McCarthy and Chelios to Kostopoulos since they don't quite add up, however they are players whom teammates feed positive energy off of. If the Habs expect to contend for the Cup (and trust me they will), they have to find players who can do this. (and by this I mean bring positive energy, lead by example, speak from experience, take a bullet for the team etc.) Unfortunately, they don't have one person who brings all these attributes to the table. However they have the likes of Begin and Kostopoulos who bring heart, energy and teamspirit. You think they needed to sign Brisebois? No way in hell. They could have used one of the many defensive prospects which would have been a cheaper and wiser investment. They kept him on board because Brisebois has certain intangibles which are necessary for the Habs. He's a proud French Canadien who understands the significance of winning a Cup in Montreal. Some could argue that Carbonneau could fill that role as well, however, as a teammate it is sometimes easier to relate to a teammate than a coach. Consider Brisebois a mentor to the younger players, especially Latendresse and Lapierre. Bottom line is that although I think it's great to have a team filled with talented players throughout the ranks, it is still important to hold a proper balance. These intanbigles are NOT EASILY REPLACED! And on a team with very talented players, they become even more necessary and useful. :hlogo:
  6. Good lord i just noticed it's 4:40am here... ughhhh, score one for me guys!
  7. Like, I love Stevie B but for the love of Christ!! :nono:
  8. Pretty quite here tonite. Anyone else liking that Sergei - Lang - Kostopoulos line?
  9. Θωμάς Κοστόπουλος Mr. Tzatziki himself!
  10. I'm surprised they haven't started offering 2 for 1 the way that the economy is going....
  11. RDS.ca isn't working for me. Is it working for anyone else??

  13. They should have done their research before they trusted the viewers of canadiens.com to decide which games would be on the DVD set. That was a rookie mistake by the Habs Marketing Dept. If anything, they should have opened the voting to other sites; preferably ones with more knowledgable participants....
  14. Seems to me like they really @#$%# this up. Was this an online vote? Cause if it was, then it makes sense. Reason being that most of the voters would fall in the 10-20 and 20-35 age demographic and most of those within the 10-20 age group would choose the "Heritage Classic" over game 2 of the 93' Finals or Game 7 of the Habs-Whalers 86' playoffs. I was gonna buy the set. Now I think I'm just gonna download it...
  15. Anyone know of the game is being streamed on RDS.ca today???? Thanks in advance..
  16. Arrrgghhh.... Your gonna make me translate it into Greek now aren't you? Hopefully my boy Kostopoulos knows how to read his mother tongue...
  17. Congratulations! That was a wonderful piece of writing. Always a pleasure to read your work. Is this just a hobby or do you get paid for writing? If you don't maybe you should think about it.
  18. Stop staring at the screen! You've impared your vision!!! That's not a preseason game, but the home opener!!!
