Much ado...

2011-09-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

Can anyone tell me what the ___ happened with regards to the latest politically correct kerfuffle in sport?

Some idiot threw a banana on the ice when a player (who happened to be black) was about to take a tiebreaker in the shootout between Philthydelphia and Detroit. And it occurred in London, ON.

Where was the thrower? How high up? Could he tell the player was black? Did he care? Why didn't he throw the fruit earlier in the game, on said black player's first or second shift? How did he know it was going to a shootout? Can liberals read his mind? What if he had thrown a pear or an apple? Or a squid, Detroit's projectile of choice?

In any case the guy has been arrested, which is good because it's dangerous and stupid to throw anything on the ice at a hockey game. But to further inflame the silly season McMurtry-esque hand wringing said black player used the "fag" epithet in a very heated exchange with the Rangers' idiot Sean Avery.

Will Simmonds now be arrested? Will be be sent to reeducation camp the way Avery was when he loosed his famous "sloppy seconds" brain fart?

Shi* happens. You can't say you knew what was in the fruit thrower's mind, just fine him for throwing something on the ice. The thought police have no place in sport.

Or anywhere else.

9/11 Conspiracy lunatic joke (sick f*cks)

2011-09-12T18:43:00.001-07:00

Two truthers are tragically killed in an auto accident. They go to heaven and are brought before God. One of the truthers asks: "God, I really need to know, who was behind 9/11?"

God replies: "FOR THE LAST TIME, IT WAS A BUNCH OF ANGRY MUSLIMS!"

One truther leans over and whispers to the other: "Wow, this is bigger than we thought!"

Le Projet Chara: What a Bringdown

2011-08-06T07:48:00.000-07:00

Can we wait until Jarred Tinordi becomes the potential Pronger-Chara dirt-dealing monster his boosters project him to be?

The main obstacle in the east to the Canadiens is the Slovak Assassin. True, the Canadiens' little men can morph into nasty little Smurfs like Gary Howatt but it's not going to happen.

The Gomez and Gionta response to Chara's near decapitation of outstanding forward Max Pacioretty which effectively decapitated the Habs' chances spring 2011 is more than instructive. It's something that's been going on for fifteen years.

I was never a fan of Chelios, Ludwig and I never approved of Vinny Damphousse's surgical skills with a stick (bordering on "Wild Wilf" Paiement craziness) but hey, if the other team has nothing to fear then incidents like the Chara assault happen and the B's get bigger bolder and bully-er.

This has to change this year.

Everyone on the Canadiens has to play meaner, dirtier, every Chara shift should feature at least a thousand paper cuts and bee stings. Slash his wrists, hack his ankles, hit him, hit him, hit him, talk, yap and rub it in.

Max Lapierre and Guy Latendresse understood. Georges Laraque didn't. Hal Gill can't, it would muss up his dress.

Unless the CH gets at least ONE biggie NOW who can protect the troops, there's going to be another "hockey play."

And do you want to hear those ignoranus brunes fans crowing again? I didn't think so.

Insist on it

2011-08-05T08:57:00.001-07:00

Ever wonder why Canadiens fans are bored to death with the Canadiens the last 25 years? I won’t cheerlead for the likes of Martin and Gauthier. Or even Price, who is a terrific talent who has yet to deliver on his promise in the playoffs. If Price wants cred (outside his male groupie circle) and $$$ he has to go at least two rounds this year. I remember when Canadiens fans literally saw the team win every two years. That’s the Stanley Cup friends, Not one or two rounds. Now too many people accept the mediocre offerings and a quick exit from the extra season every year. Insist on more, insist on entertaining hockey. It WAS the Canadiens’ trademark.

I can’t be the only one wanting revenge against Chara, Julien & Co. Do you think Toe Blake or Scotty Bowman would have let them get away with it?

Gosh Gorgeous and his groupies

2011-07-30T10:14:00.000-07:00

The guy is a journeyman for freaking sakes!

Enough of the purple prose and love poems to this average 'nice guy' defenseman. The San Jose` Sharks did not get robbed when the Canadiens shipped (the better) Craig Rivet off to the west coast for this smallish (now) NHLPA rep favourite of the media (he likes to talk).

Stop waxing poetic about his average talent, this #4 defenseman is yes, a valuable guy, a good team player, decent in the room (in that he doesn't cause any trouble and does what is asked of him).

But for crissakes stop acting like he is the Second Coming. He ain't Larry Robinson or Guy Lapointe or Serge Savard. He ain't even Peter Svoboda never mind Chelios, Ludwig or Desjardins.

I don't blame Gorges for the silliness, he does his job the best he can, always shows up.

But his limited talent and small size are not the stuff of an all star and let's please try and remember the greats who have patrolled the Canadiens blue line. Gorges is not in that category. Sniff the smelling salts.

If there is a potential star back there, we know who he is. And his name ain't Josh Gorges. Somebody must be drunk or demented. But that's what's enabled the Canadiens to keep selling out the last 30 years with too little on ice talent and too little on ice effort.

There has yet to be a response to the Chara assault on Pacioretty. And Julien's goon hockey. Playing nice like Gorges doesn't cut it for me.

Even a Ted Harris, Gilles Lupien or Dave Manson would be nice right now.

A heatlhy MaxPac and Eric Cole will help but like Liam McGuire said we need a cross between Fergy and Bob Probert. Someone to beat the hell out of Luchicken and Chara. Well okay I said the latter.

Tragic that Gandhi Gauthier and Cuddles Martin can't understand. Pathetic that some self-professed 'experts' put so much time into singing the praises of such average players as Gorges.

To the mooks who foul the net with their teenage tantrums at the Gazette's Montreal Canadiens fan website, enough.

Your pearls are more pustule popping that pontificating.

Juvenile jerks jamming juice-less jibes.

No one is reading, no one cares. And hey ladies, it's not a cult if there are only three members.

Hickey, Stubbs and Basu (CTV) I'll read. They're intelligent professionals.

Marinaro and Milt Melchnick I'll listen to. They're opinionated, controversial.

But that childish playpen at hockeyinsideout.com? Never again.

They put the poop in nincom.

The problem with the Canadiens

2011-07-05T08:40:00.000-07:00

It's an easy one to spot. The problem is they have this glorious history and mediocre quarter century since anything approaching a dynasty.

Hell, the last superstars were Patrick Roy and Stephane Richer with a slight nod to the couple of very good (and nasty) years Vinny Damphousse had with le Canadien in the early '90's.

Since then?

(Clearing throat)...the only fun we've really had since 1993 was 2010's Halak Miracle and he was jettisoned for the still unproven Luongo-Price. Not a classy (or Schmart) move. Disgusting.

But the signing of Eric Cole and the possibility of one or two roast beefsters on the D and or 3rd or 4th line (Konopka, he of 300+ penalty minutes?) along with the blossoming of PK, MaxPac, Eller well...funny how things can change.

Yes it's a crime Pouliot was given the "Breezer" hyena treatment by some mouth breathers (not good enough for Habs service he signs with the Stanley Cup champions) and bringing back yes another 5'8" 180 nobody from the K...well... YAWN.

But the thought of Max and Cole causing havoc up front and in the crease itself...well...even I have to say I am the most optimistic I've been in...two years. Ha.

Come on October.

Now who's going to break Chara's nose for me???

More draft weekend news: Regehr trade

Draft 2011

2011-06-25T09:38:00.000-07:00

So yes the Canadiens made a good pick, took Beaulieu 17th when he was projected top ten. He's big (6'3") has wheels and offence and should be a great match with PK (though not necessarily on the same pairing) for many years to come. When he makes the bigs.

Still, talk of giving up on yet another promising offensive big French Canadian kid troubles me. Pouliot beat Redden, wailed on Krejci (knocking him out), is a fine skater and has one of the best releases and quickest wrist shots on the team. (If only he would shoot more.) Yes he folds under pressure but who is putting pressure on him, why and how much? The benchings are chippy and show poor judgement. Again.

You can teach defensive play (Carbonneau) but you can't teach offence. It's a gift from God. Pouliot has got it.

Looks like Goat is going to piss another one away though.

And speaking of bad decisions or no decisions, who's going to break Chara's nose? Really bloody it? Ruin his sweater? Whip his ass in front of the hockey world for what he did to Pacioretty? We need one guy 6'4 or 6'5" and 240# who can kick his ass. Regularly. Punk him out. Humiliate him. Scare him. Turn the bully into the cowardly little girl he really is.

Smooch.

Will a man step up?

2011-06-24T08:53:00.001-07:00

Who is going to break Chara's nose? Really bloody it? Punk him out? Humiliate him? Kick his ass?

Pity the poor wronged Bruins

2011-06-15T10:38:00.000-07:00

Game seven. At long miserable merciful last.

60 minutes then no more crying caterwauling and conspiracy theories from the Broons and their loutish violent players and fans.

Nathan Horton miraculously recovers from his "severe concussion" and is cleared by Dr. Recchi for the flight to Vancouver to inspire his teammates. (Rightly) no suspension for the back breaking hit on Raymond but wrong on the non-call on ice, it was 2 for blatant interference.

And a nice performance again by the inmates of the Toronto Dominion Gah-dens as the injured player lay on the ice and then was carted off like a jellyfish in agony . "Ah ya fag! Dive-ah!" Pure class all the way.

This team and its fans have a bizarre cult-ish persecution complex/dementia.

A standing ovation for Zdeno Chara after he broke Max Pacioretty's neck and gave him a severe concussion. Somehow - somehow - Chara was the aggrieved party!

They seem incapable of comprehending that their ugly antics have created a stain which won't come out in the wash. People judge you by your actions on and off the ice. Behave like animals, scream for blood (literally), assault opposing fans in and around the arena, give standing ovations to players who deliberately or otherwise injure opponents then invoke a curious 'oh woe is me' double standard when your soldiers fall...well, enough.

I'm sick to death of both the league's approach and the Broons players, management and fans strange 'caveman meets Oliver Stone' act.

If the Bruins win it will be the worst thing to happen to hockey since the Philthydelphias won it in 1974. The Defilers had a good two year run, abetted by the likes of John "See No Evil" Ashley & Co. but Scotty Bowman and a talented physical Canadiens team had something to say in 1976 - beginning in the pre-season - and from there on in hockey ruled.

(Re) Birth of a dynasty and hockey was saved. The Islanders and Oilers dynasties continued the mix of talent - and enough muscle to protect the Lafleurs, Bossys and Gretzkys.

Oh that the Canucks were capable of stopping the Luchickens and FrankenCharas.

It's all down to the incredibly enigmatic Luongo, the Jekyll and Hyde of Hockey. Which one shows tonight? Don't tell me the Gooins model will triumph and become a template for the next several years. Please.

Go Canucks Go.

So close now

2011-06-11T08:00:00.000-07:00

Mercifully we're a game (or two) away from the end of the NHL season.

A season which for me ended when my team, the Montreal Canadiens impersonators, were eliminated in the seventh game in OT in Boston.

A season in which deliberate and careless and even some accidental Traumatic Brain Injuries finally no longer became a joke ("Oooo he's hearing the cuckoo clock now people!") but were taken seriously by most fans and media.

The only reason the NHL brass (unfortunately their balls are not brass) has attempted to deal with the issue is due to heat from fans media sponsors and even government. Scott Stevens in the Hall of Fame anyone?

Zdeno Chara nearly decapitates Mac Pacioretty and the league and NHLPA's response? "Hockey play."

The incredibly execrable refereeing last night shocked some apparently. Glad to know I wasn't alone.

But is it really a surprise in a league where the commish is the calibre of Gary ($7.2 million a year) Bettman?

Come on.

We are in charge people. We own the game.

Keep the heat on.

And go Canucks.

Maude Flanders is alive & well and living in Morgan's Grant

2011-06-04T15:50:00.000-07:00

"What of the children!?!?"

The hysterical reaction to a coyote in Morgan's Grant has stirred tabloid pens and brought hand-wringing mummies to the rescue. Once animal lovers, they now fairly shriek "I taw it! I did taw a Coyote!"

Erroneous descriptions are nothing new on Law & Order Kanata, this one seems distorted by estrogen (and maybe even some Margueritas) leading to Maude's Paul Martin-like grimace and: "It's a big boy, that's for sure! Had to be 60, 70 pounds!"

Listen lady, coyotes are small wild dogs, slightly larger than most foxes (also seen in these suburban parts). They're skinny little things and eat mice, garbage, maybe a squirrel on a good day.

Our coyote is a female. She is now a mother. She has at least 3 pups. I have seen her twice, once I was inadvertently within 12-15 feet of her and all she wants to do is raise her little family in peace. There are no wolves here to kill her pups. Nor hillbillies with guns. The suburbs are safe. Still lots of field mice and I guess garbage and maybe even green box morsels.

This skinny little mama is just trying to get by, calm down. When the pups are bigger they'll all move on. For now just say "Howdy Neighborino!' like your hubby Neddy would.

Where did my beloved game of hockey go???

2011-05-28T09:36:00.000-07:00

My eyes glaze over when these "jersey" types (as opposed to "sweater" types) start on about "faceoff percentages" "take-aways" and "possession time" in hockey. Get ready for the new Americanized game we used to know and love. Every moment, gesture and mistake is explained with statistics, analysis and American genius.

Got two guys on your telecast or radio broadcast? Why not have six?

Show us replays, slo-mo replays, replays from other games, live action from other games, games last week, games in Russia, a card game at the diner? ADHD. Slo mo replay of Jennifer Tilly popping her top blouse button (dangerous).

Hockey used to be exciting.

Now since the Roger Neilson-ization and Americanization it's been reduced to a statistical exercise and rehashing contest between flapping jaw "experts."

I LONG for the '60's and '70's when the Canadiens played "French CANADIAN Firewagon Hockey" and no one had to fly in Mike Milbury for his 'bon mots' or washed up mediocre goalies galore who shall remain nameless because they deserve obscurity rather than the constant never-ending limelight. I'm going to beat you to death with your mic you...

Pierre Gauthier continues Boob Gainey's Euro-smurf campaign.

Agony, they name is la trappe.

The Saviour Carey Price went three years between playoff wins at home, Jaroslav Halak is demonized in Canadiens chat rooms and we're this close to bringing the Stanley Cup home.

"Rebuilding since 1979."

That feels better.

May is the cruelest month

2011-05-10T10:29:00.001-07:00

Contrary to what one sports nut wrote this morning May is the cruelest month.

Unlike last year when Jaroslav Halak won nine games, this spring Carey Price only won three. Obfuscation and misdirection about St. Louis's season, Jaro's save percentage, the price of olive oil in Sicily only serve to further demonstrate the desperate and unsportsmanlike chip on the should of Jaro-bashers and Price-worshipers (usually one and the same).

The flaky adolescents of all ages shouting on the Gazette page(s) can have it. I leave them to their own twisted devices. Literary Sybians and wankers all, they cannot do the simplest math. Jaro Halak won three times as many games as Price did, stealing virtually all of them with 40 and 50 save Hall of Fame calibre goaltending.

Price? Well he had some good 30 save performances but folded (again) with two home losses which blew the first round series. He eventually won a third game. It was his first playoff win at home in three years.

May used to be the halfway point in the Canadien's journey to the Stanley Cup. Now it's the time for delusional adolescents to tell us we're this close just because we made the playoffs and Carey is so good. I'm done with that level of teenage dope-ery.

I will not take instruction from those who are not even old enough to remember the Canadiens' last win (18 years ago).

The 32 year post-Sam Pollock rebuilding continues. Oh and Sammy? You can have Irving Grundman back.

I said May was cruel didn't I?

You know what you have to do. Sternly instruct GaineyGauthierMartin you will not stand for any more players like Pyatt and Moen. The inexplicable affinity Jacques Martin has for no talent bums like these will no longer be tolerated.

No more head games with young players like Pouliot, Lapierre, Latendresse, AK74, O'Byrne, D'Agostini, Grabowski etc. What a waste!

No more shabby treatment of guys who not only did the job but did it well: Halak, Moore, Metropolit, Lang, coach Carbonneau et al.

No more drafting from Japan (!!!) and Germany.

More players from the Quebec league, this is the Montreal Canadiens not the New York Americans.

No more Smurfs!!! At least one Laraque/Boogard-sized nasty bastard who will 'deal with' the likes of Chara, Luchicken, Pronger, Clutterbuck etc. It's a dirty violent game. You must have a policeman and several bigger players who will prevent things like the Chara brutality and other bullies taking liberties with your stars.

Remember Fergy, Nilan, Bugsy and others.

Lots of work to do. We went backwards this year, unacceptable, and the beatings Pacioretty, Markov and others took was disgraceful.

Time to take your so-called brain trust out to the woodshed. This ain't Woodstock, lose the flowers in your hair or lose again and again.

Taliban Jack under scrutiny

2011-04-28T08:15:00.001-07:00

That's a wrap

2011-04-27T19:50:00.000-07:00

Great effort by les boys but we’re still way short on size and talent. PK (birth of a superstar), DD, Eller, White, Price and MaxPax give us hope, they became men. BUT: MartinGaineyGauthier gave up too soon on Grabowsky, AK74, D’Agostini, Ryan M, O’Byrne, Latendresse. The brain trust (!) is poor judges of talent and worse motivators. They eat their young.

Guys like Pyatt and Moen belong in the AHL with Gomez. No talents. Nothing. Stop the mind games with Pouliot and trade him. And don't make it a gift, he's good. You'll see once he escapes Martinamo Bay prison camp.

With size and a ‘policeman’ like Fergy or Nilan other teams' goons would not be teeing off on Markov, Gorges, Pacioretty, Halpern and we’d be readying for the next round instead of grieving. Lots of needs to address.

And stop that gawdawful ‘kitty bar the door’ garbage hockey. I will pop a cork of French bubbly when Martin leaves town. Goof.

Props to Price

2011-04-27T08:26:00.001-07:00

Price ain't no Halak (last night was his first home win in over three years) and the Broons' tying goal was a(nother) stinker but he did what he had to do to win and we're headed to Bahstan for game seven, where for one team it will be game sever.

Without a productive Pleky, injured Pacioretty, released Domenic Moore Glenn Metrpolit, Robert Lang, traded Sergei Kostitsyn, wounded Wiz, sprained nkee'd Desharnais and Go35gameswithagoalmez thinning the ranks one way or another, Gio, PK and Cammer are all the Canadiens have.

The strange Jacques Martin philosophy whereby it is preferable to have Travis Moen (0 goals) and Tom Pyatt (0 goals) in the lineup rather than hot and very cold Benoit Pouliot continued, as did the ridiculous (but successful, this time at least) 'kitty bar the door' hockey.

No doubt the CH will explode out of the gate in Beentown (sic) and try and get the first goal (or two) and sit on it like mother goose trying to hatch a second round appearance. Time for Andrei Kostitsyn and Pleky to make an appearance and a goal from the so called grinders would certainly help.

Game "sever." Anything is possible.

"Canadiens South" May Advance

2011-04-25T18:44:00.000-07:00

I've had it with chatrooms.

Boy, half the columnists and chat room idiots at the Gazette website should be making mud pies for each other.

Finger painting drooling adolescent 'Einstones.'

Caged chimps (or less evolved simians) throwing scat at the world and each other.

Guy Boucher and the Tampa Bay Lightning just may advance to the second round with OLD FORWARDS like Vinny and Marty. I capitalize 'old forwards' because of the nose thumbing that greeted my 'sign Teemu Selanne' post especially from 'head' genius Mike Boone. Wednesday niight we'll know for sure as they could become one of the few teams trailing a series 3-1 to come back.

Well Boone, Teemu Selanne had 31 goals and 80 points this year. Name the Canadien who did (or ever will do) that.

If OLD FORWARD Teemu came to the Canadiens he would immediately be the Canadiens' best forward statistically as well as talent-wise. Hell, he would be their best player.

Oh and for the numbskulls who have been dissing Guy Boucher (late of the Hamilton Bulldogs): again, Guy Boucher and his "old forwards" just might advance to the second round of the playoffs. One more win...

Will Jacques Martin, Carey Price and the other blue chippers be able to even get to a seventh game?

Carey Price's moment of truth

2011-04-22T12:19:00.000-07:00

So the predictable "experts" (Hockey Insideout peanut gallery at the Gazette's fanatic site) are still teeing off on Jaroslav Halak.

I have never understood this resentment against the little underdog who never got any respect from the likes of them, Canadiens coaching staff, management or the media.

Point final: your grapes and envy can never erase the wonderful miracle of 2010 and your delusional assessment of Carey Price is pathetic.

Price has now lost seven straight playoff games at home. Seven. Listen sweeties, if you give him praise when he wins and it is justified, more power to you. But if you can't see there's a spook between his ears and he's folding like a cheap card table there's something wrong with your blind loyalty.

No, this is not another case of "they love you win or tie," it's a call for balance, fairness and class.

Just admit Jaro never had any respect, any expectations and he exceeded our wildest dreams for playoff thrills and success.

Price on the other hand, as I've said (too) many times, is a poster boy, phenom, blue chipper, who when he was given the keys to the franchise has repeatedly faltered. Yes he took a big step in his development with what was generally an exceptional regular season.

But sports history is littered with the bodies of those regular season heroes who lay a big one in the playoffs. Joe Thornton and Roberto Luongo are the two reigning chumps.

If Price bakes another brownie in Boston he'll be on his way to confirming what I have feared for the last three years: he should have played an entire season in Hamilton in the AHL as a character and career-building exercise. Instead he was promoted too early and has been given a free pass time and time again. This is not even his fault, it's just another example of the poor judgement of the Canadiens brain trust.

He's all alone now, let's see what he's really made of. Blue chipper or a flameout?

The Cuckoo's Nest

2011-04-20T07:24:00.000-07:00

No wonder free agents won't touch La Belle Province. A large segment of the fan base and press are completely looney tunes. While some in the media and most recently Bob Gainey castigated the hyena brigade for their pathetic propensity to make players into whipping boys (Patrice Brisebois) and others joined in the fray, it's happening yet again and the new guys are Scott Gomez, Benoit Pouliot and...Jaroslav Halak!?!?

Bizarre and boorish behaviour is nothing new to certain boo birds (in the press and the stands both) but the Pouliot and Halak targeting are on the one hand silly and out of place and on the other completely bizarre.

Pouliot is 23 and was a high draft pick by Minnesota and may never develop into the NHL player scouts predicted but to saddle all the team's missteps and under achieving on him is silly, uncalled for and inaccurate. Plenty of blame to go around. Let's face it, this is not a blue chip team deep in talent. If they don't score first, play the trap and play it hard and the goalie isn't a thief they lose.

The continued jabs at Halak by big mouthed wags on the Gazette's HockeyInsideOut website are completely unfathomble and I'm not going to analyze the psyche (or the IQ) of these Einsteins.

Put this in your pipe: until Carey Price wins one playoff series he is a bigger bust than Benoit Pouliot. Anybody can be a man in the regular season. It's the guys' cojones who clang like iron in the playoffs that matter.

Turning on the only hero Canadiens have had since the last cup win (1993) makes about as much sense as the fawning over Saku Koivu by certain lovestruck teenyboppers. Brian Gionta is a better captain and a better hockey player. Hell, Mike Keane was a better captain.

Time for Price - and the hyenas - to sober up. Time for Carey to deliver on his promise. If he blows this series it's time to pull his free pass. He hasn't gotten it done yet. Win this series. Be the superstar they say you are. Until then you're Chuck Connors.

Trade Halak? "The mother of all brain dead decisions" according to Red Fisher. What did they get for him? Two nobodies with fewer goals than...Benoit Pouliot.

We're almost at the one year anniversary of the wonderful miracle that began last spring in Montreal thanks to a guy from Slovakia named Jaro.

There is nary a peep now and perhaps not a single English speaking 'journalist' who gave or will give the guy credit for his inhuman 50+ save performances, his .923 save percentage and his knocking off the best team in the league followed by his elimination of the reigning Stanley Cup champions. Not to mention denying the two best players in the game time and time again.

I am filled with deep sadness, anger and bitterness.

Time to quote Red Fisher, who has covered the Canadiens for 50 years: "The mother of all brain dead decisions."

Listening, Molson Bros.? Brain dead.

They hate you, win or tie?

2011-04-19T09:52:00.000-07:00

Wtf is it about certain open-mouth Habs fans who have this hate-on for Jaroslav Halak? To this day many hate him and refuse to give him credit for the miraculous run during the 2010 playoffs with a mediocre Canadiens team that allowed 50 shots against per game. He has a lifetime .923 save percentage in the playoffs. He was a hero at the Olympics, almost stealing a medal for Slovakia. He bailed out the Canadiens when Price went in the shipper and earlier when Huet and Aebischer stank the house up.

Larry Robinson said Canadiens fans "love you win or tie."

Sometimes they hate you even when you win. Even if you single handedly carry the team past the best team in the league, the highest scoring offensive power, the most dynamic player in the game and then do it all over again against Crosby and the Stanley Cup Champions.

Carey Price certainly has some Spruce Bedspring cult-y charisma or something that has brought blind devotion from Gainey, Gauthier, Melanson, The Gazette and the "Koivu is better than Gretzky" crowd. To their credit the French press has been more sensible and objective. Price has been receiving the keys to the city since he was drafted and has yet to deliver. The regular season this year was good but game three last night was a giveaway (two actually) and let the Broons back in the series. Can Price rebound? How could he be so cavalier, so dopey in such a crucial match?

But these 'fans'...would it kill them to give credit to Halak for what he did? Are they so blind they insist the Halak trade was a good one, that Canadiens got fair market value for the player of the year in the 2010 playoffs? For the biggest Canadiens hero since Patrick Roy c. 1993?

Tony Marinaro, who distinguished himself in a schoolyard 'debate' live on-air with Broons shock jocks dissed Halak on air this week only to cover his hiney and say Halak's performance last year was "the best goaltending he had seen. Ever. Even better than Patrick Roy."

Halak schooled the team, taught the Canadiens (including Carey Price) what it took to overcome great odds in the playoffs. And for that remarkable 2010 playoff run he gets scorn, ridicule and Price is anointed. Again. Having so far delivered...an AHL championship.

Larry Robinson, you're going to have to rewrite your quote. But then again, Canadiens shafted you too. Twice.

Jaro you rule. There was a reason almost 10,000 fans turned out at the Fairview shopping centre last fall to keep you signing autographs for 3 1/2 hours. English media snobs and Price cultists can't see, won't do the right thing and give you your props. We salute you, the 2010 playoff run was the most fun I've had as a Canadiens supporter since 1993 and my faith in the team has been severely shaken by the shoddy treatment of Halak by management and fans alike.

No class.

Is it resentment because he showed up Price?

Scarey stuff

2011-04-18T21:23:00.001-07:00

Who'd a thunk it???

2011-04-18T10:40:00.000-07:00

I'd a thunk it.

In fact I predicted a Canadiens series win. Yeah I know it's way early and it seems like I've become one of those Ole` Ole` second period singing lunkheads but I'm not celebrating anything yet.

But: even if FrankenChara returns tonight there's no way he will be his usual "Herman Munster on Steroids" self. And while he is the leader of the Big Sad Bruins where are the other stars on the team? His absence doesn't explain the collapse. Where's Dr. Recchi? Krejci? Kaberle?

Thomas has been outplayed by Price. Not even close. Rask will start tonight. Bergeron? Pleky has been better. He's finally no longer the "little girl." There may not be a more responsible (or more effective) two way forward in the league. Pleky has the defense of a Carbonneau and the hands of a playmaking goal scoring standout. PK has been growing, maturing, improving defensively and still shows the offensive flash and hot-doggery we love from him. Balance. The other D have been nearly letter-perfect.

Neely's unprofessional comportment in the "loge" hurts his team and sullies the B's image. You want that kind of intensity from the players, not an executive. It's like cutting off Julien's legs and introduces more doubt into the players' minds. It's not Julien's fault Luchicken has turtled again, the goaltending is average or that Chara got sick.

Remember I did say Canadiens in six and while I predict a CH win tonight it remains unlikely there'll be a series sweep, no matter what happens I think the Broons are too good and too proud for that. But the "Bumble B's" being 0-26 in a series when trailing two games to nothing it looks very good for a Canadiens triumph within the next week.

Sweep? Probably not. But a round one win? Likely. Somehow they dug down and whether it's muscle memory or some 2010 flashback they're getting it done again. There's a quiet confidence and businesslike aplomb. Ole`.

Fan-Dumb

2011-04-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

The chara (he doesn't deserve capitalization after that cheap hit on MaxPax) controversy brought to light the appetite for violence and the ridiculous, almost caveman partisanship of certain sports fans. The delight and pride verging on mob bloodlust over the 'hockey play' was even more appalling than the shocking premeditated hit itself.

Certainly there are cretins on the Canadiens fan side, the Ole` Ole` idiots who start in the first period, the nitwits who picked on Brisebois and Roy etc. but the lunatics in Boston, in the media and on the team itself (thank you Recchi, Luchicken, chara et al) should be roundly criticized and have been. I doubt however they are capable of shame.

The shock jocks on Boston sports radio forget (or omit) what happened to their stars Savard and Bergeron (both French Canadian by the way). The ugly anti French Canadian, anti Canadian jingoism is particularly absurd - The Gardens crowd chanting "USA! USA!" as the Bruins ran up the score in the 7-0 regular season post-chara rout. Testosterone and xenophobia over good sportsmanship and even common sense. Pacioretty is American you complete nitwits! Canadiens have eight Yanks on their team, Bruins have two.

In summary, if you would rather glorify John Wensink, Scott Thornton and chara's vicious hit than Bobby Orr you're entitled to but you have all my pity. Last night was the ultimate up yours to goon hockey and your recent sad chest-beating. In the end, all you'll have is your bitterness.

Montreal leads the series 1-0. How do you like me now?

Oh Count Iggy!

ROUND ONE TO CANADIENS

2011-04-15T09:29:00.000-07:00

Very nearly perfectly scripted, Coco Martin. The best players were the best. Except for Max Pacioretty, who was off somewhere embellishing his injury.

What's Molson brewing?

2011-04-03T18:09:00.000-07:00

We Canadiens fans can't lose. It is almost certain the Habs will play the broons in the first round. I'm not afraid of this. Win or lose, we win.

How so?

Well if the Canadiens exact revenge for the obscene dangerous chara hit on Max Pacioretty this will be sweet indeed. If the broons kick ass again as they did in the 7-0 Beatoff in Bean Town this will force Geoff Molson to say have a word with Messrs. Gauthier Timmins and Martin and caution them they have been naive to the point they will be endangering their positions should they not make a correction.

In the off season there have to be at least four players acquired who are 6'3" or more, players who can play and guys with character. Simple enough for some scribes and most fans. Why hasn't management gotten the message yet? Time for the Molsons to brew up some courage, intensity, character and a return to the Bowman era when the Canadiens snatched back the leadership of the hockey world from the Philthydelphia Phlyers.

Licia Corbella: David Suzuki's Hot Air

2008-02-14T08:30:00.001-08:00

David Suzuki wants politicians thrown in jail if they don’t act as quickly as he believes they should to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

During a speech in Montreal he said: “We can no longer tolerate what’s going on in Ottawa and Edmonton.”

What’s going on is Alberta’s government is trying to bring in emission reductions without simultaneously destroying Alberta’s oil and gas industry, which, in turn, is fuelling Canada’s robust economy, not to mention the plane that flew Suzuki to Montreal to give his speech at McGill University this week.

For a guy who hates oil and gas so much, he sure uses a lot of it. His carbon footprint is so big it’s likely rivalling Al Gore’s, which is surely an inconvenient truth for these men who like to preach to others but don’t walk their own talk.

Remember how Suzuki and six staff travelled across the country to foster awareness about global warming on a “rock-star style bus” big enough to comfortably seat 54 people, when a van would have sufficed? In other words, when faced with choosing the environment over his own comfort, Suzuki chose the latter, as his lessthan-perfectly-insulated enormous glass home in Vancouver would attest.

Anyway, this is exactly what Suzuki told his rapturous crowd of 600 doomsday believers: “What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there’s a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they’re doing is a criminal act.” Suzuki was first quoted in the

McGill Daily on Monday and his comments were subsequently picked up by the National Post, at which point the story went nuclear (a form of energy Suzuki also opposes, rightly in my view).

Suzuki’s spokespeople are now saying Canadians are not to take the renowned broadcaster at his word, even though he said virtually the exact same thing at the University of Toronto during a speech in January. Should practised public speakers delivering a prepared speech on more than one occasion not be taken literally? It’s absurd of Suzuki to now claim he didn’t mean what he said. Repeatedly. In a prepared speech. On the record. For publication. Speaking of travelling to Toronto and Montreal, have Suzuki and his ilk never heard of video conferencing?

“You have lived your entire lives in a completely unsustainable period,” Suzuki told the crowd. “You all think growth and (climate) change is normal. It’s not.”

Are we supposed to take him at his word on that? I hope not, because if there’s one constant about climate, it’s change.

“It’s an intergenerational crime in the face of all the knowledge and science from over 20 years,” added Suzuki, during his speech in the heated university.

Notice how he didn’t say 25 or 30 years ago. Know why? Because 25 years ago, this prophet of perdition was predicting that Earth was doomed to plunge into another ice age! Cooling was a catastrophe and now warming is a catastrophe. He should make up his mind.

Apparently, scientists back then, including Suzuki, were desperately frightened that Earth could cool by another degree or two, food production would be slashed and people would starve.

Well, just when Suzuki was melting down about global cooling, the sun went into a new cycle in the late 1970s and Earth started to warm again. You’d think he’d be thrilled.

After all, Earth has only warmed 0.8 C since the end of the Little Ice Age, which started in the 13th century and ended around 1860.

As for climate change being abnormal, consider this. There was a time in England when vineyards were common and temperatures much warmer than today.

After the Little Ice Age, Earth warmed up with no help from carbon dioxide and did so until about 1940, and then the temperatures started to fall until the late ’70s when Suzuki et al. started predicting another ice age. Incidentally, those almost four decades of cooling occurred postSecond World War, when man-made CO2 was spiking exponentially. What’s more, according to ice core data, when CO2 levels were 16 times higher than they are today, Earth was covered in ice.

Such scientific facts must infuriate Suzuki. He apparently refuses to debate real climate scientists about this. Perhaps he believes they should be in jail, too, just like that great scientist Galileo once was when he refuted the church’s orthodoxy that the sun revolved around Earth. But real science can’t be jailed for long, even if politicians can.

Government is out of control in Canada. The state and state-funded run-amok agencies like the Alberta "Human Rights" Commission et al do not serve the people, rather they serve the ideological agendas of the far left. They're all about ethnic grudges and or ethnic patronage and vote-buying. Or an ethnic group lining its pockets under the guise of 'reversing discrimination.'

The frivolity of the so-called National capital Commission celebrating Quebec City's 400th birthday underlines the absurdity of the entire organ. It has too long been a solely French/francophone agency of featherbedding and discrimination against non francophones. The nightly parade of French (only) women as their spokespersons in the electronic media underlines where the real discrimination lies.

And now for our national capital "commission" to deviate from its mandate further by delving into yet more obseqious Quebec grovelling patronage "sponsorship" and vote-buying, well, that's just the final straw.

Mr. Harper, tear it down and start again. It's rotten rotten rotten. Enough already. Game over.

T & A "Journalism"

2008-01-16T09:01:00.000-08:00

Some salient thoughts on T&A "journalism" which has now become not just the norm but virtually the only journalism:

- TSN.CA recently published a poorly thought-out piece by yes, a high school newspaper writer on Willie O'Ree, the NHL player who played 45 games and scored 4 goals fifty years ago. Face it, he was a less than borderline player, a blip, a hiccup, there was no colour bar, you can mention his brief cup of coffee in the NHL but he was no Jackie Robinson either statistically or in terms of courage in facing racism. O'Ree's obstacle was his lack of talent, hence a minor league career and 45 games and 4 goals in the NHL over two seasons. Anything else is "race industry" revisionism.

- Now that Martine Gaillard of CTV Sportsnet has completed her journey from weather person to Hockey Night in Canada sports journalist to Sportsnet sex symbol-bimbette, what is she going to do when she turns 40? A disappointing transformation but what do you expect from the sports "media" or any media these days?

- It's been great recently seeing (and hearing) the golden tones of Toronto's venerable Dave Devall on television. I can't help but long for more of his ilk. A sad state of affairs in the media generally but particularly in the electronic media. Disgusting sexualization, disco journalism and 'runway' bimbette-ization of the entire field. Pure garbage.

Brings to mind the great line: It's journalism "for people who move their hips when they read."

Flu Shots

2008-01-10T06:34:00.001-08:00

There is absolutely no excuse for the apparent 'policy' of not requiring NHL players to have flu shots to prevent illness and financial losses.

The Montreal Canadiens disastrous 'crash and burn' season of 2006-2007 was mainly due to the injury to Cristobal Huet and the fact the flu ravaged virtually the entire roster for almost two months, putting them into a death spiral from which they never recovered. They missed the playoffs, costing their owner millions of dollars in gate revenues and other monies.

I have enquired of sources at the Montreal Gazette to no avail but it is obvious there is some 1950-ish voodoo bias on the part of the administration, medical staff and players themselves that somehow flu shots diminish a player's efficacy. I'd like to see one study that shows ANY link between the flu vaccine and a lower level of competition. Show me a player with the flu and I'll show you man games lost, games lost and money lost. Don't tell me flu shots cause the flu, this has been disproven as superstitious rubbish. The reluctance to make NHL players have the flu shot reminds me of the resistance to flouridation in Montreal back in the day by conspiracy nuts and "Montana Freemen" types.

Time to enter the modern age and get the flu shot to prevent another '06-'07 debacle, get with it, Habs.

Martian Climate Change!

2008-01-07T07:48:00.001-08:00

Climate change hits Mars

Mars is being hit by rapid climate change and it is happening so fast that the red planet could lose its southern ice cap, writes Jonathan Leake.

Scientists from Nasa say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period.

Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural phenomena.

The mechanism at work on Mars appears, however, to be different from that on Earth. One of the researchers, Lori Fenton, believes variations in radiation and temperature across the surface of the Red Planet are generating strong winds.

In a paper published in the journal Nature, she suggests that such winds can stir up giant dust storms, trapping heat and raising the planet’s temperature.

Fenton’s team unearthed heat maps of the Martian surface from Nasa’s Viking mission in the 1970s and compared them with maps gathered more than two decades later by Mars Global Surveyor. They found there had been widespread changes, with some areas becoming darker.

When a surface darkens it absorbs more heat, eventually radiating that heat back to warm the thin Martian atmosphere: lighter surfaces have the opposite effect. The temperature differences between the two are thought to be stirring up more winds, and dust, creating a cycle that is warming the planet.

SCIENTISTS PREDICT GLOBAL COOLING

2008-01-07T07:13:00.000-08:00

ST. PETERSBURG, August 25 (RIA Novosti)- Global cooling could develop on Earth in 50 years and have serious consequences before it is replaced by a period of warming in the early 22nd century, a Russian scientist said Friday.

Environmentalists and scientists today focus on the dangers of global warming provoked by man's detrimental effect on the planet's climate, but global cooling - though never widely supported - is a theory postulating an overwhelming cooling of the Earth which could involve glaciation.

"On the basis of our [solar emission] research, we developed a scenario of a global cooling of the Earth's climate by the middle of this century and the beginning of a regular 200-year-long cycle of the climate's global warming at the start of the 22nd century," said the head of the space research sector of the Russian Academy of Sciences' astronomical observatory.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov said he and his colleagues had concluded that a period of global cooling similar to one seen in the late 17th century - when canals froze in the Netherlands and people had to leave their dwellings in Greenland - could start in 2012-2015 and reach its peak in 2055-2060.

He said he believed the future climate change would have very serious consequences and that authorities should start preparing for them today because "climate cooling is connected with changing temperatures, especially for northern countries."

"The Kyoto initiatives to save the planet from the greenhouse effect should be put off until better times," he said, referring to an international treaty on climate change targeting greenhouse gas emissions.

"The global temperature maximum has been reached on Earth, and Earth's global temperature will decline to a climatic minimum even without the Kyoto protocol," Abdusamatov said.

Canadians should brace for coldest winter in almost 15 years: forecast

2007-11-30T10:47:00.001-08:00

(Canadian Press)
TORONTO - Environment Canada says it appears the country will have to endure its coldest winter in almost 15 years as everyone is reminded what a real Canadian winter feels like.

Senior climatologist David Phillips says Canada has had a number of warmer than normal winters in recent years, but this December through February is forecast to be one of the harshest in recent memory.

With the exception of a small pocket in southern Ontario, the entire country is coloured blue for colder than normal on Environment Canada's weather map.

Precipitation forecasts are less reliable, but Phillips says the colder winter will likely result in a lot of white Christmas' across the country.

Last year, a number of traditionally cold and snow-covered cities like Quebec City, Ottawa and Timmins, Ont., had their first green Christmas in decades.

Phillips says a cold winter with lots of snow is good for the economy, and will likely push people into doing their Christmas shopping and booking holidays to escape the cold.

"I always think it's good for the economy when weather is behaving like it should, when winters are cold and summers are hot," he said.

"With the Canadian dollar the way it is and with this colder than normal weather, it very well may be that the busiest people in the country are travel agents."

Phillips says the forecast for cold weather is being triggered by La Nina, a period of lower than normal temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.

Ah, yet more Global Warming! The IPCC, NDP, Davids Suzuki, Phillips et al should be made to march through downtown Winnipeg in their Birkenstocks and loin cloths until they recant, repent and relent. Complete idiocy. - McL
