Habs 3, Leafs 2 (OT): Someone give Ron McLean a tissue

Special delivery for HNIC

Dear Ron McLean,
I'm sorry if my Habs hurt your feelings or ruined your holiday season in this overtime victory. Actually fuck it. Leafs suck and Phil Kessel is registering a -50C temperature. Deal with it.

Funny how the after game talk was all about Kessel failing at life and missing his opportunities. I didn't know CBC was actually LeafsTV.

Whatever. We know the Leafs launch a bazillion shots per game unless they're super out of it so this wasn't anything shocking. Remember: it's the quality of the shots that count the most. Like, say, Andrei's OT goal: I dub thee "wrist shot of DOOM". Suck on that, Grabovski.

Burke tweets: "This team blows."

Using your goalie's name in a catch phrase is LAME
- Between "the Price is right" and "Halak it alot" I think I might vomit. Right now they're trading burnouts.
- Markov survived the ACC! Praise the Lord and bubblewrap!
- BennyPoo will score eventually. Until then, he'll come close and at least hits people.
- The refs needed to protect Orr from Laraque after Orr punched Spacek in the face for checking him. Uh...what?
- Laughing at Komo giving Rhino a slap, who slapped him back, and then Komo turned away... YOU USED TO TEACH THIS KID TO PLAY!
- Pleky's victory splat was hilarious too. It was a "WOO WOO WOOO" trip. And then Markov fell on top of him.
- Leafs almost let a puck walk into an empty net from across the rink while on a delayed penalty. Bravo.
- Whenever I see Moen and Patches go off on a 2-on-1 or any other offensive attack, I'm reminded of Skrudland's OT goal in the playoffs. It's just that exciting even if they don't score.
- My brother's new nickname for MAB is "Slippy" so I will call him that from now on.
- Again the Brothers were on the ice for five seconds after the penalty kill and created good things. They may not be twins, but they definitely have that sibling connection. Hey, I used to be able to smell what was for dinner before getting home thanks to my brother.
- This reminds me of the first game of the season. You know, the one the Leafs claim derailed their season and shot their confidence.

Heart be still Habs finally jumped over the Rangers! My brother was always angry about this because whenever the Habs would win, so would the Rags, therefore creating a stalemate between the two teams. Tonight the Habs win in OT while the Rags lose in OT. Habs now at 41 points in 7th place while the Rags flipped down to 9th. Of course for some reason the Habs appear to be the ONLY team in the East with 40 fucking games played. Why us?

Oh in WJC news, TSN called The Count of Danny Kristo's goal their turning point in Team USA's chippy and nasty 7-3 victory over Team Slovakia. Yay Danny! He did great tonight!

Let's not forget to have the TO officials ignore the fact that Jason Blake head-butted Halak whilst interfering with him in order to score. Jason Blake is one of the dirtiest, cheatingest sons of bitches alive and actually deserves to be Bertuzzi'd. Fucking smarmy prick. And Jason? It's not a baseball cap visor. It's there to protect your eyes. I hope someone got you a screwdriver for Christmas so you can actually tighten the damn thing so it works like a real visor.
Ugh. Jason Blake is reason number 1,967 to hate the Leafs.

Actually 31, it was the all knowing, sacked at mid season as head coach McSplooge that claimed that first loss destroyed their confidence. As if. Oh, and I hate Doucharek.

Number31 said...

That's what I was pointing at, Moey. McSplooge claims to know everything with his creepy insider knowledge eh. My brother always wishes someone would either "accidentally" shoot the puck between the benches or run off with his headset. Still can't believe some fans think firing Bob and replacing him with McTurtle would be a good idea. Vomit city.

Blake is a douche. Would he melt in the sun?

Pleky's victory splat was funny :D
