Oh Wonderful... Habs 0, Thrashers 2

I had a rather lovely evening with some friends celebrating a birthday at the Bond Bar and Grill (and Tapas). It's a James Bond themed bar that plays Bond movies on constant rotation, has old Bond posters everywhere, plays crappy music (you'd think they'd play Bond themes instead), and names their fancy drinks after Bond things. Mine was the Holly Goodhead, solely because I didn't feel like asking someone for the Pussy Galore...

And then I came home.

I knew the Habs lost 2-0 because my friend checked the scores on his iPhone every now and then. But wow. Unreal:
My brother was in the living room watching the news recap shaking his head and told me "they had like a zillion penalties". They had the emotion, but had zero finish. Or like I told my friend after we huddled around the iPhone, "Habs can't buy a goal these days".

So, bowling doesn't work. Bag skating doesn't work. Benching Breezer on his 1000th game doesn't work. (Or locking him in a trunk). Being a jumpy steely eyed angry coach doesn't work. Carey Price on the ball doesn't work. What for the love of Beliveau will work?


I always thought Carbo looked a bit like Daniel Craig Bond's French Canadian hockey playing long lost twin brother.

A few more like this and we can start singing TA-VA-RES!

Looking at that annoyingly close 10th place:
- Calgary you bastiches! Losing 6-1 to the Hurricanes does not help us! Oh, they just had to play Kipper's backup for this game. This is the reason why Kipper plays every game. McElhinney is 0-7-1 in his whole NHL career so far.
- Phoenix, you're not helping either. A 5-1 loss to Buffalo. Merci! *sad*
- Stars 3, Ducks 2. Well, at least the Stars won't be pissed off when the Habs roll into town Sunday... instead they're just getting warmed up.
- My condolences for Mrs. Hockey, who passed away today at 76.

Bulldogs report!
Mwahahaha! The Bulldogs shut out the Marlies 2-0. Sergei got the 3rd star! He set up Maxwell on the first goal of the game which came in the 3rd period. Ced turned away 26 shots (Pogge only faced 15). When Russel hit the empty net with 6 seconds left, Marc Denis was doing the Bulldogs Cheer in celebration, yes while in full gear.

Even better news? Mike Glumac is back from injury, early.
