NNN: Playoff Team Beats Rebuilding Team

PrintFrom Four Habs Fans:
Also can't believe the league is going to look the other way after that dust up - seems like Grabs is getting the Curtis Joseph treatment. (Ed. note: RDS reports that Grabby got 3 games.)
Clearly what HFF33 (were all the good names taken on Blogger?) wanted was for Colin Campbell to crucify Grabovski during the game for his horrible transgression. It's absolutely indefensible to be skating at full speed, jump off your feet, and hit someone from behind face first into the end boards.
Huh? Oh, wrong guy. My mistake.
Both Greek Lightening and Franky may have lost the technical decision in their fights, but Cube hanging in there with a guy 6 inches taller energized the team - and the crowd. And proved that "intimidation" tactics are not going to win hockey games when you have no talent.
The operative word is "hung". Boullion was desperately trying to turtle despite his visor, but Brad May had him wrapped up.
Special thanks goes out to Toksalad's (FHF nickname award (non-Habs division) winner, 2008-2009 season; take a bow, Moeman)
Is this joke funny in French? Is this joke funny to dyslexics? I hope so, because I don't get it.
Montreal's supposed to be the class of the East. They're ten points out of first in their division at the halfway mark. Toronto is finally rebuilding (and it's not like they were good last year) and having lost Mats Sundin Toronto is still scoring. Congratulations on beating the Leafs, I guess. At least Montreal didn't riot last night.

Completely unrelated to this post but...
I just noticed the “Fredo” countdown.
Please stop dude. You’re tainting the rest of the good work you do here.
Why?
Because I choose to not pretend like I am upset with Mats Sundin? Why should I censor myself just because I don’t agree with the section of Leaf fans that can turn a blind eye to Sundin’s hypocrisy?

true...
“fredo” is actually a sophisticated dig… shows a good knowledge of film, pop culture, etc.
but damn is it harsh! is there a bigger backstabber ever than Fredo?? Mats would never try to kill his own brother!
Fredo didn’t want to kill michael either, he was just a clueless idiot who was used by pretty much everybody.
Michael, on the other hand DID have his brother killed, yowza.
Mats succeeded at killing his brother Stan, which is why you never heard of him.
Duh.

From Wiki:
In a pivotal scene in the novel and film, Fredo attempts to immediately retaliate after the attempted assassination of his father. However, he fumbles with the gun, drops it, and is unable to return fire. He then sits on the street curb next to his unconscious father and weeps.
If that doesn’t sound like Mats trying to make a decision, I don’t know what does.

Wake up Leaves fans
im a FHF reader and saw the link to PPP, just wanted to make sure all the trash talking around here doesnt go unpunished (for lack of a better word)
first, you guys seem to find it pathetic that, even though our team has high expectations and your team’s are so low that “you couldn’t trip over them”, habs fans are happy about the win
well, while it may be true that we’re 10 points behind the bruins, boston holds a game in hand and not too long ago, they were 14 points ahead so we’re gaining ground (not to mention Habs have more points than they did midway last season)
also: GET REAL
you call going to get a pest like brad may rebuilding? wow burke’s turning out to be a hell of a saviour already. why doesnt he just go get tucker back from colorado, or better yet, pick up sean avery?
second, you guys are lucky Laraque wasnt there last night. No matter what you say, for Georges, guys like mayers and may are lightweights and he wouldve put an end to all the f*cking around and net crashing you guys call a game plan in a second. The habs won last night with skill and speed and the leafs just kept trying to distract them (schenn on kovalev didnt work because what ron wilson doesn’t know is that the only person in the world that can get kovalev off his game is kovalev)
third, komisarek is by no means scared as his league-leading (last season) hits and shot blocking stats confirm
he could pound any of the leaves into the ground in a fight but doesnt because coach carbonneau has made it expressively clear that he refuses to let komisaurus fight because he is a hell of a lot more useful to the team on the ice than in the penalty box (i have no shame (fine, thats a lie) in admitting that komisarek was owned by lucic cause lucic was revved up that night and he is an animal (not an insult)
fourth, grabs is a b*tch, plain and simple, just look at the way he skipped out on his team to go cry to his agent after he was scratched for one game
im not convinced grabs would win in a fight against sergei kostitsyn, it would be a draw (plenty of slapping and hair pulling on BOTH sides, not just sergei) grabs is as much of a girl as sergei… dont deny it
btw, LeafFanInVan, the organization has made it clear that the CH will celebrate 100 years since its official founding on Dec 4th 2009, but this season the habs are celebrating 100 SEASONS (not years)…. i guess leaves fans are just jealous because they have nothing to celebrate since the 40th anniversary of the last stanley cup win passed already
anyways, holy crap this post was a lot longer than intended
feel free to (actually i full-heartedly encourage you) respond and i will get back to you
by Holy Flannel (habsfan) on Jan 9, 2009 6:18 PM EST reply actions
Welcome
Thanks for joining.
Komisarek doesn’t fight because the last time he fought someone his size he got the crap kicked out of him. Would he beat May? Maybe. May definitely has the edge in not being afraid to fight.
I don’t think anyone denied that Grabbo v. Tits would be any sort of real fight. I think it was said that it would make Semin/Staal look like Clark/McSorley. What we don’t get was why Habs fans hated Grabovski so much this year before he had even played when he was, according to most of you, just a bit part player. That would be as ridiculous as us still hating Andy Wozniewski rather than just revelling in the hilarity of him being terrible.
May isn’t part of the rebuilding. He is a free way for Brian Burke to get a player that he knows can provide the leadership that young players provide and he can help prevent teams from teeing off on the Leafs’ good players. Not sure if you watch many Leafs games but that was a serious problem earlier this year.
btw, LeafFanInVan, the organization has made it clear that the CH will celebrate 100 years since its official founding on Dec 4th 2009, but this season the habs are celebrating 100 SEASONS (not years)…. i guess leaves fans are just jealous because they have nothing to celebrate since the 40th anniversary of the last stanley cup win passed already
This could be the funniest thing I have ever read. Unless the Habs are trying to celebrate 100 autumns since the team was founded it hasn’t been 100 seasons because there was no season in 2004-2005.
Finally, the Leaves joke is not only tired and unoriginal but it is an insult to Canada’s Military history:
The Maple Leafs say that the name was chosen in honour of the Maple Leaf Regiment from World War I
I’d make a joke about no Habs fans having been in WWI but that would be mean.

Indeed
Is it seasons or years? I don’t get it.. Of course I question if the whole NHA years really count, anyway.
Also, pointing to the May trade that Burke is a failure is silly. It’s a quick (and cheap!) fix to inject some toughness to a team that had been completely pushed around in its last several games. I’d say it worked.
Does anyone else find it funny how Habs fans can complain about May beating up “wee-man” Boullion and then claim if Laraques was there all the shenanigans would end? So it’s ok for your giant hulk of an enforcer to beat up our smaller players, but not ok for May to beat up someone smaller than him? Gotcha.
think about it, the habs would have participated in their second season before even turning 1 year old… so, they are participating in their 100th season before even turning 100
also, laraque isn’t like 6’7 or 6’8, he’s only 6’3, smaller than a lot of the guys he’s fought in the past like, i dont know, chara (6’9!)… so dont accuse him of picking his battles against smaller opponents
and may was asking for it, if laraque were to fight him id say he deserves the beating he would get
and im not complaining that bouillon got “beat up” because he was just as willing to drop the gloves as may was and paid the price for his bad decision ( but bouillon doesnt back down in front of anyone)
for your other points (may / 100 seasons) refer to my reply to PPP below
by Holy Flannel (habsfan) on Jan 9, 2009 7:26 PM EST up reply actions
I’d say that Laraque’s weight (~250lbs) plays more of a factor in fights than the extra height. He’s a big, big boy. He doesn’t give up much weight wise to Chara, who’s something like 260 I think. Laraque’s an excellent fighter (top 3 I’d say – Boogaard and Brashear being the other two) and I don’t think he’s at much of a disadvantage physically vs anyone in the league.
I’ve seen May and Laraque fight and May got smushed (Edm/Col). No one whined and bitched about May giving up the 40lbs to Laraque, and May didn’t wear a visor.
My point: anyone whining about May beating up on the smaller Boullion needs to STFU. Smaller dudes fight bigger dudes all the time, they don’t bust out the measuring tape beforehand to make sure the other guy fits within some random parameters. If boullion wanted to puss out (apart from the whole visor thing) he could have skated away or turtled. He didn’t so he gets partial credit.
at the risk of repeating myself...
Good point about Laraque’s weight and as for Habs fans needing to STFU, I cannot speak for everyone and there are a lot of Habs fans who say stupid things who i disagree with on various points ( most of them being francophone “experts”, but that’s a whole different story).
Basically, what im asking is that you not assume that all of us are the same and that all of us are that ignorant.
However, as I said before, I am not complaining that May beat up Bouillon because I am well aware that Bouillon agreed to fight. I won’t even touch the visor thing because i don’t want to set off an avalanche of angry replies.

You’re right about Latendresse. He gets way too much media coverage and praise. I believe that he could be a much better player than he is, and I definetly think that he suffers from the pressure he gets from the francophones. He is really, really slow, though, and the “Journal de Montreal” proudly announced at the beginning of the season that he had taken power skating courses and he was among the fastest in the team. Let’s just say we’re not seeing the results, but he has been playing well lately.
I’ll definetly follow up on your advice about EOTP, RL is definetly underappreciated.

ill show some understanding...
because i dont want to come off as an idiot and a hard-headed jerk who loves his habs so much he is unwilling to accept criticism
in reference to your argument about brad may, i hadnt thought about it that way
forgive me, though, for expecting burke’s first move as GM to be a bit more grandiose after all the media-crazed hype ( i guess he does have to start small)
i know where youre coming from, because the habs got pushed around a lot last season, which is why we signed laraque ( it doesnt help when he misses half the games with a groin injury)
as for the 100 seasons thing, i guess you’re right, although officially (in the NHL’s books) 2004-05 does count as a season
as for the grabovski thing, again, we fans take it kind of personally that he pointed a giant middle finger at the organization with his behaviour and according to some players, grabovski was a problem in the room… i suppose its silly to still hold a grudge, but what do you expect, we’re hockey fans
about the leaves thing, i apologize: if what you said is true, that explains a lot
just to clarify: a lot of people find it odd that montreal is called the canadiens (with an e) but thats because the official name of the club is actually “Club de Hockey Canadien” and its in french and the spelling doesnt change in english
however i will remain stubborn (sorry, i cant always give in) on the point that komisarek would fight a lot more if carbonneau let him

He really has to pick his spot because his best assets (Kaberle and Kubina) have NTCs that are only void during the summer. He can’t make his first move asking them to waive it because he doesn’t want the Leafs to get the reputation of a team that gives out contract clauses and then tries to revoke them. Last year was obviously a very special situation.
As for Komisarek, I will withold changing my mind until he starts fighting Leafs. If the coach is reining him in then he is a lot like Chris Neil (or at least, what he says) in terms of being held back against the Leafs. Now, whether that’s because their coaches think that it’s a good idea because the Leafs play better when they are amped up or because they are worried of injuries (at least in Komisarek’s case that makes some sense) is another issue.
If the league counts the 2004-2005 season then they are dumb.

You’re right: worrying about Neil being injured doesn’t make much sense. (Hey, maybe that’s one point we habs and leafs fans have in common: hatred for the sens.)
About the league, you’re talking about the same NHL that has Colin Campbell as a disciplinarian… so, yes, they are dumb. I might be wrong though (about it being counted as a season, not them being dumb).
By the way, you mentionned in a recent post that you hated the Habs centennial celebrations. Well, how do you think we feel about it? While we are proud to honour the team’s rich history, since last season we have been bombarded with hype (let’s win a Cup, now or never!), cash grabs (Centennial Plaza) and merchandise ( Canadiens Monopoly?

I know I’ve really crowded up the comments section of this post, but I just wanted to say I think we got off on the wrong foot.
My first post was a bit harsh and I didn’t mean to make such a controversial splash in my Pension Plan Puppets debut. This is obviously a very well run blog and I look forward to reading it for a different perspective on the hockey world. The chief blogging officer has been nothing but nice to me and I wanted to thank him.
Make no mistake about it though: I am a Canadiens fan and hope to represent the team I love on this blog. One of the reasons I am doing this is to hopefully make you guys understand that, while Habs fans are proud and hate the Leafs, we are not all asses and we’re not all close-minded.

Your first post wasn’t the best first impression but you’ve recovered ;) Also, I like the screenname but could you explain why they call the Habs’ jersey La Ste. Flanelle?
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
The Habs jerseys were made of flannel in the 50s and 60s (maybe earlier, too). As for the Ste. (sainte) part, it just comes from the fact that hockey is somewhat of a religion in Quebec, so the jerseys are “sacred” or “holy”.
by Holy Flannel (habsfan) on Jan 10, 2009 6:59 PM EST up reply actions
To be honest, your apology isn’t required if you explain yourself respectfully and the reasoning behind your posts are sound, which you have done. While the rivalry between two hockey teams can be as real as the Maple Leaf or CH located on our respective sweaters, a lot of what is posted is said in jest. Sure, there is anger, frustration, and sometimes even actual dislike for a particular player or team, but no one would go overboard without cause and actually regret or risk alienating the many friends we have made over the many days. While this is a primarily Leafs blog, it is a community where we can discuss hockey and life.
When we see something or someone that we don’t know enter our familiar domains and post a well-thought, but clearly combative post as his/her first contribution, it does trigger a defensive mechanism. I’m certainly guilty of fueling the fire on other sites, but I’ve eventually learned to let things pass and see the rest of the work before I make any rash judgments. Sometimes that’s not possible, of course, and as an opposing fan, you have a right, nay a duty, to defend your team and rectify any wrongs.
This in turn creates debate and helps open up perspective on both sides. I was once a narrow-minded Leafs fan, but this site and the other hockey related sites (Leafs related or not) have made me a bigger hockey fan and an even bigger Leafs fan (if that was possible). Hopefully, you will continue to visit this site, as anyone is welcome here – even dirty Habs fans! ;)

And bust it out every time I see a Habs fan….which is about every few minutes of my work day. I’ll just keep saying it over and over again, and hope I get others joined in a cappella style.
wow...

ouch...
That hits me where it hurts.
Speaking bad of the Rocket is sacreligious, although it is kind of sad that he faded away after he retired. And Henri Richard has been a part of every other pre-game ceremony this season (trust me, there have been a lot). He is at the Bell Centre every night though, he has season tickets (he sits in front of a friend of mine, I went to a game with him once and met him)
But seriously, it’s holy as in sacred, not full of holes (wholy).
