Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes

December 23, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles

I think I’m about 20-22 commercials away from cheering against Team Canada. As usual. Will they lay off already? And then the homer announcing is going to start. Can they at least try to be balanced? Just try?

Some psychologists like to use a technique called word-association to reveal latent or unconscious associations that may assist their clients in progressing with the therapeutic process.

Islanders take another penalty. Blake Comeau. He hit Kostitsyn from behind. Could have been a payback hit but it looked chicken cheap. Strutting tough in the barnyard.

Bell Central crowd is booing. And not the isolated muppet-heckle type. Medium to full bowl booing.

Ottawa Musings, In-Game Scribbles

Mike Fisher is on the ice. He hasn’t been the same player for quite some time. It’s a bonus for Montreal each time we play them. Something like Darcy Tucker’s emotional absence from the Leafs two seasons ago.

Can you imagine interviewing a surgeon while he operates? Or if that bothers you too much, how about if someone was interviewing the Canadian Tire guy while he fixes your brakes? Is that how you want it all to go down?

Critics of tinkering be damned.

I've had enough of Benoit Brunet. From Pierre Houde's expressions, it would seem he has been feeling the same for weeks or maybe even months. Brunet is not a quarter the outstanding colour-man that Pednault was. Brunet may improve, of course. We shall see.

San Jose Musings, In-Game Scribbles

San Jose can't establish control anymore. And after a lot of mid-ice dithering and some San Jose dump-ins, the period ends, mercifully for Team Teal.

Philadelphia Musings, In-Game Scribbles

Hartnell is like a guy who fixes a tv by kicking it. Just on force, he manages to water-buffalo his way through two Canadiens and gets a shot off. High and wide but his single-mindedness is notable.
