Montreal Canadiens vs Minnesota Wild

December 17, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Highlights. Sean Avery still has an NHL job. Well, nobody should complain about anyone else, then. Free passes for all. It’s interesting that Ovechkin’s celebrations get more anger than Avery’s antics. Measure it yourself. Google and count the hits. Or bring up the players in living rooms or pubs. See for yourself.

Highlights. Boston scores. And again. Krejci and Chara. A Czech cab-driver assured me last winter that David Krejci will be better than Jaromir Jagr when their careers are done. He was quite confident. He was about 49 years old.

We see that NAPA commercial where a female cop busts an elderly couple making out in some out of the way spot. Now why is it that cops feel comfortable knocking on steamy car windows with their flashlights? What purpose does this serve? What community-protection principle are they serving?

Calgary Musings and In-Game Scribbles

Latendresse paints the wall with a Flame. This slow version of the team is not good for turnover ratios. Gill, Laraque and Stewart are all puck-possession liabilities. They are each aggression assets, though. What horror when they’re on the ice simultaneously. I guess they’re our Boston-Philly antidote.

What follows is a thoughtful November 20th, 2008 post from "Haddock" of the HF Boards.

Boston Series Game Four, In-Game Musings and Scribbles

Theodore was ruined by this city. And Price is getting ruined. His confidence. How much pedestal and pillory can a person take?

Toronto Musings, In-Game Scribbles

This team is nothing without Mats Sundin. Those Toronto fans and media who criticized him for not waiving his no-trade at last year's trade deadline were a factor in his deciding to leave. Goose and the golden egg.

Islander Musings, In-Game Scribbles

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.

Atlanta Musings, In-Game Scribbles

Sergei is also back. And he's with his best linemate match this season. His older brother. Andrei is flying from the word go. There is nothing like playing with his younger brother for the reserved Belarusian.

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?

Buffalo Musings, In-Game Scribbles

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.
