Pleky's ready! And he's getting old!Greeting my 5 readers and all FHF orphans! I don't usually have game day posts. I'm not a lawyer either. However it's a new season and if you have something larger than 140-characters to say then feel free to say it in the comment section. Bonus ice cream for swearing (self-serve). I don't discriminate. Unless you're a Bruins fans. Also I promise it's quieter here than at HI/O since my neighbors wouldn't appreciate me actually screaming at the wall.
However you won't find pictures of sexy ladies. Sorry, that's what the rest of the internets are for.
So the Leafs eh? Once again Nos Glorieux have to open their season in Hogtown because the CBC says so. Not that I'll be watching there, mind. At least, not the whole time. I might pop in for Don Cherry's intermission ramble about what a great guy Jay Rosehill is and how PK "or whatever his name is" Subban is a disrespectful bum that Rosehill should run over. Really, I just watch to see who's chesterfield he murdered for his latest jacket. And it's better than listening to François Gagnon bash Andrei Kostitsyn for not acknowledging him in the hallway.
The what-where: Game starts at 7pm at the ACC. That's when you'll be watching while the guys in the lower bowl are out having drinks in the concourse or wherever the hell they are during the game. Over-under on the ridiculousness of the pre-game ceremony?
Last minute touch-ups: Leafs traded a 4th for a faceoff giant who's only recorded hit was an accidental clipping of Sidney Crosby's head. Too bad, I liked Steckel when he was with the Caps regardless of his awkward stride and quirky shot. Habs continue their tradition of picking functional 4th line centers that will wear the number 15 from the Flyer's waiver wire: Blair Betts for nothing (and Flyers fans aren't too happy about it either).
On the mend: Leafs find Connolly's already on the IR, Kadri's knee's in a bind for a bit, Grabs got a big bruise on his foot but will probably play. Habs resident BAMF Ryan White still out with groin ouchies (it was once reported as sprained ankle), Eller popped his shoulder back in but the doctor still won't let him play, and Markov still needs some facetime with his knee (though we'd rather he not play in Toronto anyway).
Whatever: Pity Lombardi for he's on a line with Jay Rosehill. Raphael Diaz not only has a cool name, but he fooled you all and made the team. And I don't think he hypnotized any of the coaches with his fancy accent either. Not saying he hypnotized me either...just...keep him talking please.
I just noticed TSN SportsCenter has a Price-Subban (Prubban?) triple-low-five in their intro. Suuuure...NOW you like it. Aaron Ward probably disapproves of this newfangled emotions shit.
Attention! We officially have less than 24-hours before Nos Glorieux step out onto the ice for real points! Prepare accordingly. #OnLikeDonkeyKong
COMPETENCE!
Cowboy up!
GYFH!
