Blues vs. Habs - I Got the Blues Edition

Notes on the third:

-I feel bad for Cammalleri, Plekanec and Price.

-This is like watching the late '90s all over again. Except I don't think those teams got paid as much.

-Why do they tease us like that? An equalizer with less than a minute to go makes us think they're clutch.

-Tanking is no longer debatable. This team is doing it, like it or not. If the Habs can get an all-star in the draft, it's like saying the guy shot next to you didn't die in vain.


Notes on the second:

-Anybody remember good hockey? Anybody?

-Darche is showing the speed difference between the NHL and the AHL is pretty dramatic.

-I don't remember the last time Bergeron scored a goal. And if he's not scoring, he's as much use as a eunuch in a sperm bank.

-The Bell Centre DJ is playing "Clap Your Hands," and 21 273 are looking up with "You've got to be kidding me" expressions.

-I feel the pain of the paying customers, but I still feel booing your own team does nothing to help.

-Yay! Another delay-of-game penalty. At least they're leading the league in SOMETHING.

-Unless there's a massive change of momentum in the third, welcome to the third five-game losing streak of the year because this team isn't winning on the weekend either.


Notes on the first:

-See? This is why TSN should never have bought the Hockey Theme. They just ruined it with all their nifty new takes on it.

-I can actually watch on TSN now, because any criticism the Habs get is probably justified.

-Moen looks like he fights on a merry-go-round.

-I think the Habs must have the highest percentage of brutal delay-of-game penalties in the league.

-Awesome first goal allowed by Price. You can say "tipped" all you like, but NHL goalies stop tipped shots. And the second one? Squeezed through his legs to come out for the rebound. It's not all his fault, but he's not helping.

-Perron is making Pacioretty look like another Trevor Timmins steal. Of his Canadiens salary.

-The Stealth Tank strategy is becoming increasingly obvious. Soon it's just going to be the Tank.

-Price has apparently decided eight D isn't enough, so he's joining the rush now. I think he's losing it.

-I wonder how long it'll be before Pouliot can score a goal without anyone on RDS saying "Latendresse?" Oh yeah...I had to switch when the glee on TSN got to be too much to take.

-Is it just his face, or does the rest of Spacek look like the Czech version of the Pillsbury Doughboy too?

-Gomez has so much skill, but he looks like he doesn't give a flying damn so often.

-I think the Canadiens need to practice the 2-on-1 sometime. Both the goalie and the D always play the shooter and nobody plays the pass.

-I hate Martin, the System and losing. Ugh.
