Toronthab Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Blame the French medias. Well... I tried to add some excitement by buying a compressor to do some trim work at home. ANYTHING could have happened. But it didn't. I have been paying half attention to the game. The good, bad and ugly..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wamsley01 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Less bold prediction: win or lose, at least one of the other thirds will still be convinced Gainey is a genius. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronthab Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 +1 True. Go Bob go! The good: it's just 2-1 The bad: our offense is still impotent. The ugly: our PP. Thanks KoZed. Sounds a little familiar, but this too shall pass like stools in a lavatory, or something more poetic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclaw Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 These are tough times to be fans of the CH... nevertheless i keep the faith. Just a matter of time before #25 comes along! GO HABS GO! On a side note, i'd like to rant about how RDS and Journal de Montreal refer to the Canadiens as "Le Canadien". C'est pas "le Canadien", c'est bien "Les Canadiens". Il y en a plus qu'un! It just seems grammatically incorrect. "Club de hockey Canadien" = Canadien is an adjective. Therefore a member of the team is a Canadien and several members (aka the whole team) are "The Canadiens" or "Les Canadiens". Pet peeve! Désolé Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronthab Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 One advantage living around Toronto.. OK.. the ONLY advantage living in Toronto, is that I can always tune into something uglier! And as you probably heard Toronto WAS the reason Hamilton doesn't have an NHL team today. The owners figured that if Hamilton got an NHL franchise, Toronto would want one too.

Désolé It's not only RDS and Journal de Montreal, but several medias and people who say "Le Canadien". I thought for a while that it was Le Canadien, and seriously, it sounds like it has more class.

Désolé Dude, "Le Canadien" is an expression as old as the team. You just wrote it: LE Club de hockey CANADIEN. Short form: LE CANADIEN. It's singular because it's ONE CLUB. It's better singular because it shows unity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobin Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The habs play is killing my desire to even comment on it. How come the worse team in the league is bigger, faster, and stronger. How come they play with more tenacity. I am coming to the belief that most of our players, certainly our homegrown ones are basically pond hockey players. They muck about but they don't look like men who want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's singular because it's ONE CLUB. It's better singular because it shows unity. Canadien is an adjective, so the correct usage should be "Les Canadiens". Actually the CH itself uses "Les Canadiens" (just look at the official web site). By your logic, the Pittsburgh Penguins ought to be called "Le Penguin", the Anaheim Ducks "Le Duck", Boston Bruins "Le Bruin", etc. Les Canadiens de Montreal Les Bruins de Boston Etc.

What does that have to do with anything? Obviously the official name is "Le Club de Hockey Canadien", and "le Canadien" and "les Canadiens" are technically nicknames... but that's all beside the point. "Canadien" in the official name is still an adjective, and as an adjective, the correct term should be "Les Canadiens". I'm not knockin' ya for using "Le Canadien", KoZed Free society, yall can use the terms you like. I just prefer the grammatically correct "Les Canadiens" which is also the official name used by the hockey club itself.

brobin Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The refs are really sticking it to the habs.. seem to be blind at one end of the ice, but they sure don't miss a thing in our zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
