  1. Danis hasn't had a consistent season in Hamilton. I'd keep him there until he gets more consistent with his game.

    He probably wasn't consistent for a little while because he was depressed. I mean, what else does he have to do to make the Habs? He killed it for two straight years, he got shoutouts in the NHL ... and now Abby is in front of him.

  2. Brodeur could go screw himself for all I care.

    He sucks against other teams but his luck is always with him against us!! :angry:

    Hey, don't get me wrong, I don't want Brodeur on our team ... 8 years ago, maybe, but now ... nah! But I think he is right about playing under the magnifying glass in MTL. The media here is exeedinly irresponsible, and sensationalist.

  3. Well at least we got a point out of it. Too bad we gave up the tying goal with 5 minutes left.

    About all the slanderous remarks about Carbo ... I've deceided to ignore them all (and other negative comments) since anyone with a keyboard can log their opinions on to the web behind the safety of anonymity, and as another poster wrote, I'd rather look and hear about the positives ... even if it was the exceptional play of Brodeur.

    WOOT. Hope we win in NY!

  4. Not surprised. The media in Montreal is skrewed! The fact that RDS had a headline about Begin and Downey's little tiff is a testement to that! Anything to sell copy .... again, I miss the days of the Nordiques when the French media seemed to focus only on them, and would make them the dysfunctional children of the NHL.

  5. Wow, in the prestigious Washington Post :o

    It's not something that we should teach our chlidren wow.

    But te truth remains that if you want to talk to people fluently in a culture you must know their swear words if they are used commonly, and Quebec they are used commonly.

    Swear words are just words that have been culturally assigned to be curses or insulting. I think that it is better to teach your children respect and manners, so that they won't use them glibly, rather than trying to keep them in the dark ... they will find out anyway.

    Good article, however I would agree that America is prude, nor is English culture prude. We went through a period of puritism, just as Quebecker culture went through a period of Religious oppression. These effects can last through generations until a new source of curses are defined.

  6. Who is the wanker who has the commentary at the end of the clip criticizing Bullion not getting 5 because he dropped the gloves? What gloves were dropped? Furthermore, Tucker gave the first punch. Leafs are a bunch of hypocritical wankers. We should have traded Reibero to them!

  7. Christmas is overrated.

    LOL. Yup, I agree. Aside from time off to see the family I really don't care. The only people who do still care are those whose parents have perpetuated the myth of Santa Clause .... frakin' materialists!

  8. The problem with the average Montreal hockey fan is that they are delusional. They believe in what Plato called the forms, but they believe that these forms actually exist on earth.

    Basically a form is the ideal of anything. There are things like justice that exist in society, and they are impured compared to the ideal of justice ... the form of justice.

    Now the Montreal fan wants our team to be the ideal team every night. The form of a hockey team. They believe that because these people get so much more money than they make at their jobs that these hockey players should be "supermen". They should score all the time, stop all plays towards their nets, they should not fight with each other, but they should pummel the oposition. They should be great leaders. They should not have a day, week, or even month off. They should not get injured .... infact, they should probably not even shit or piss because, well, shit and piss are not ideal.

    All I can say to these fans is, "Seek help Neo. You are living in a dream world."

    Or in the eternal words of Zack de la Roacha, "WAKE UP!!!!"

    Bloody good game! Glad we got the two points, and that the Laughs only got one. Glad Boullion pummeled Darcy Phucker. And I'm super glad that every day that passes is one less day without Higgins!

    Go :hlogo: GO!

  9. PTG, the term was whipping boy!

    One important name: Emelin. Hopefully this guy comes to north american and solves some of our D woes.

    I'd keep Bonk in a heart beat. The guy has been great for us.

    All the rest makes sense. Niimina, Abeisher, and Samsonov are probably going to go. That is one big nickle.

    I'd love to keep Sourey and Markov, and I think we should .... but I'm also affraid that this new magazine cover is prophetic:
