Game 7 Live Tweet: Sharks 3, Detroit 2

Here's something I haven't done in a while ... dump my tweeter stream out on my blog from a live game. 

Well here it is. You'll notice the dramatically curter phrasing this time around compared to last year. 

I was under more stress. More freaked out than usual.

Sharks 3 Habs 2: Damn it Todd, let the Habs win...

I went to the hockey game the other day as a Montreal Canadiens fan.

And it was an illustrative and informative experience. First off San Jose Sharks fans can be rude and obnoxious. Montreal fans are congenital whiners.

And if Joe had never left Boston, it's unclear if San Jose would be a team that was a pretender to the Cup.

Thu 04 Mar 19:52:50	gionta from the blueline... Sweet....
Thu 04 Mar 19:56:45	Now there is no respect for Nabby... Markov is shooting from outside blueline
Thu 04 Mar 19:57:33	Sharks are struggling now...
Thu 04 Mar 19:59:31	Is Nabby back?
Thu 04 Mar 20:01:04	Pouilot robbed

Thu 04 Mar 20:08:35	Carey price with the weak glove hand
Thu 04 Mar 20:25:11	15 - 10 shots in favor of habs...
Thu 04 Mar 20:28:33	Thorton wants to fight Plekanec... Did joe read the don cherry playbook?
Thu 04 Mar 20:30:30	Sharks shorthanded... so conflicted...
Thu 04 Mar 20:32:58	Gionta makes it 2-1 on a terrible defensive play by sharks
Thu 04 Mar 20:34:17	wtf was Plekanec doing to piss off blake
Thu 04 Mar 20:36:01	4on3
Thu 04 Mar 20:38:21	4on3 sucks in general... Gomez does a lousy thornton imitation
Thu 04 Mar 20:39:27	Sharks Nabby having trouble with the ice
Thu 04 Mar 20:43:29	Price is standing strong
Thu 04 Mar 20:43:52	And the makeup on Markov
Thu 04 Mar 20:47:51	Hal gill continues to amaze
Thu 04 Mar 20:54:06	Habs are stupid... Trying to fight MURRAY
Thu 04 Mar 20:55:34	The save of the game... Amazing glove save by price...
Thu 04 Mar 20:56:56	Boyle gets a penalty shot for the thrown stick..
Thu 04 Mar 21:04:53	u'KOLOFARDOS\xa0O PRICE'

Thu 04 Mar 21:27:01	is there no god? Britney spears sings we will rock you
Thu 04 Mar 21:29:17	Post!!!!!!!!! Again !!!!!!!!!
Thu 04 Mar 21:30:29	Moen and Leach for roughing
Thu 04 Mar 21:31:00	4on4 hockey with roughing
Thu 04 Mar 21:31:21	Carey's weak glove hand?
Thu 04 Mar 21:36:14	Fucking Zebradonkeys... Boarding?
Thu 04 Mar 21:41:00	Its like listening to my mom comment on the game.
Thu 04 Mar 21:44:23	Nabby made a save,
Thu 04 Mar 21:45:38	Sharks won 66% of faceoff
Thu 04 Mar 21:47:27	Harold and kumar are sitting behind me
Thu 04 Mar 21:48:48	Sharks on pp
Thu 04 Mar 21:51:39	Sharks finally break through price... It was inevitable...

Thu 04 Mar 22:04:31	Goalie pulled
Thu 04 Mar 22:06:19	What did montreal to create such animosity?

Jan 18 in Ottawa: Canadiens 5 Senators 4 F/SO

So I leave to go see the Sharks, and think, well it is 4-3.

I think we probably will win.

And then just before the Sharks game begins, I see it's 4-4 and then I say: shit. Oh well at least we still won.

Sun Jan 18 06:24:41	And the montreal canadiens are all over the Senators.
Sun Jan 18 06:24:29	Dags set up begin for a nice chance.
Sun Jan 18 06:23:23	Habs and Ottawa fans are screamign their hearts out.
Sun Jan 18 06:21:08	8 minutes to play. And the alfredson line is strong.
Sun Jan 18 06:20:16	Danny Heatly is a great player. I wants him
Sun Jan 18 06:19:52	4 - 3.. Caught up to real time.
Sun Jan 18 06:19:13	Chris Elliot is a weak goaltender.
Sun Jan 18 06:18:35	Tom K scores on a weak weak weak goal.
Sun Jan 18 06:16:33	PLEASE
Sun Jan 18 06:16:01	Bob cole once again get confused by the ole song. Someone teach him.
Sun Jan 18 06:15:13	I was too smug.
Sun Jan 18 06:14:37	Now the team remembers how to play the game.
Sun Jan 18 06:14:14	3-2.
Sun Jan 18 06:14:09	bad defensive blunder.
Sun Jan 18 06:10:22	3rd period. Lang almost gets injured. Game is slowing down.
Sun Jan 18 05:57:42	If Cavalier gets traded for Markov, this will remind me of the Chelios trade.
Sun Jan 18 05:56:53	Vinny Cavalier is on the block.
Sun Jan 18 05:53:42	Pansification of the game. What a comment Mike Milbury.
Sun Jan 18 05:48:04	a gret finish to the second period. what a fun game.
Sun Jan 18 05:46:26	Neil is hugged by Komisarek ...
Sun Jan 18 05:43:22	Habs on the pp. Sergei K drew an interference penalty.
Sun Jan 18 05:42:31	Maybe I am beign unfair to brisebois. It's really that the rest of the defense is really good.
Sun Jan 18 05:39:36	brisebois wants to let the offense flow.
Sun Jan 18 05:38:05	Dagostini was all over the net taking shot after shot after shot and finally scores.
Sun Jan 18 05:34:17	The ottawa goaltender has a horeshoe up his ass.
Sun Jan 18 05:32:25	And another kill
Sun Jan 18 05:32:05	Best chance on the pp, monteal.
Sun Jan 18 05:31:12	I am convinced that the NHL is letting anything go withe Sharks. Oh well. Motreal is killing a penalty. Lang another breakaway and no goal
Sun Jan 18 05:30:01	Josh Gorges gets the penalty.
Sun Jan 18 05:29:52	And there is a penalty on the play.
Sun Jan 18 05:28:40	but the game is now lame.
Sun Jan 18 05:28:27	kostopoulos line moved forward. and some shoving around hamrlik and nothing goes on.
Sun Jan 18 05:25:44	Brisebois nice breakaway pass to plekanec. no goal
Sun Jan 18 05:25:04	and bob cole reminds us how great it would be if ottawa were to beat montreal.
Sun Jan 18 05:24:47	I miss dick irving.
Sun Jan 18 05:24:10	bouillon and brisebois are such a freaky horror show.
Sun Jan 18 05:21:43	latendresse is making good plays. showing some offensive spunk. and brisebois part of another 2 on 1.
Sun Jan 18 05:20:18	so apparently the goaltending in ottawa is no longer a freak show. and the players are playing better.
Sun Jan 18 05:18:31	2nd period beigns.
Sun Jan 18 05:11:06	Wait a sec. Don likes Calgary? I hate Don Cherry.
Sun Jan 18 05:10:29	end of 2nd period.
Sun Jan 18 05:10:10	habs on the pp. good play. no shots.
Sun Jan 18 04:45:52	brisebois who beleives the defenseman should not interfere with the offsensive flow of the other team.
Sun Jan 18 04:44:11	andrei k scores! he's on fire.
Sun Jan 18 04:42:25	mom I want bob to get me something to replace brisebois.
Sun Jan 18 04:40:29	so now that we have the makeup call and a tie game, we can see what will happen.
Sun Jan 18 04:39:51	tie game
Sun Jan 18 04:37:56	brisbeois on the ice. and the habs get scored on. surprising.
Sun Jan 18 04:37:40	good pk.
Sun Jan 18 04:35:45	the macy's sale occured after the shot.
Sun Jan 18 04:34:19	the nhl. where officiating is optional.
Sun Jan 18 04:33:49	komisarek gets a penalty. the makeup call.
Sun Jan 18 04:33:21	max pac has got talent
Sun Jan 18 04:33:09	lang in the same way they used kovalev.
Sun Jan 18 04:32:02	they are now using
Sun Jan 18 04:31:33	lets see.. kovalev
Sun Jan 18 04:30:32	ah the makeup call ... oops alfredson 5 on 3
Sun Jan 18 04:29:37	using the asus eee pc 901.
Sun Jan 18 04:28:24	sens get their second penalty. we need to score before the makeup calls emerge.
Sun Jan 18 04:26:58	get rid of brisebois.
Sun Jan 18 04:25:10	brisebois!!!
Sun Jan 18 04:24:59	brisebois again
Sun Jan 18 04:24:21	dags had a horrible giveaway. he's going back down.
Sun Jan 18 04:23:37	no shots on pp.
Sun Jan 18 04:22:51	we are not getting organized in the pp.
Sun Jan 18 04:20:19	habs are on the pp. well then .
Sun Jan 18 04:20:00	bob cole is once agani pissing me off.
Sun Jan 18 04:18:29	great we have the fluky lucky goalie. gregory stewart is the man ...
Sun Jan 18 04:17:50	halak in nets
Sun Jan 18 04:17:39	so the sens suck. which means we will lose.
Sun Jan 18 04:17:16	tfs is not playing. injured
Sun Jan 18 04:16:35	watching mtl vs sens.

Jan 14th at the TD Center: Chris Lee 3 Bulldogs 1

I only saw the second period.

But that was enough. Andrei K boarded ward. It was a penalty. But no intentionality, not even that dangerous. But thomas, takes his blocker and clothes-lines Andrei K. Now that was an intent to harm. And that could have been very dangerous.

So of course Andrei k gets a 5 minute major and Thomas gets a 2 minute minor.

And then we have a 2 minute minor.

And then the game ends.

Of course, we were missing our top goaltender and our second line, and we're playing with 5 call ups, so if had beaten boston in boston, well that would have been way too cool.

Wed Jan 14 04:50:37	the gadget is working out for me.
Wed Jan 14 04:50:17	1000th twit

Wed Jan 14 04:39:25	lez boys are doing a good job. they score. 2 - 1. 1:07 left in the major. this is such bullshit
Wed Jan 14 04:37:35	halak looked behind him after the shot
Wed Jan 14 04:36:59	markov again great defensive play
Wed Jan 14 04:36:49	markov sends it down the ice.
Wed Jan 14 04:36:25	we're screwed.

Wed Jan 14 04:35:37	now we have 2:40 major
Wed Jan 14 04:35:19	no goal on 4 on 3 but some near misses.
Wed Jan 14 04:34:54	no goa

Jan 11 at the GM Palace: Sharks 4 Canucks 2

 

So we go to Vancouver, and we beat the 'nucks 4-2.

A team whose fans felt compelled to cheer and give Mats a standing-ovation after he scored. Spare me.

The problems with the Sharks remain. If Luongo had been in nets, it's unclear we win. Granted, Nabby wasn't in nets, and I also grant that todd continued with his line experiments.

This game was proof that the regular seasons means squat in hockey.

Sun Jan 11 09:44:41	Boucher is 14-1-1. It's all boucher. the team he's playing for sucks.
Sun Jan 11 09:44:03	31st game won. Awesome. Brian Boucher does a great game.
Sun Jan 11 09:41:59	'nucks have an empty net but the sharks are pushing hard.
Sun Jan 11 09:41:04	Marleau scores a good old fashioned goal. Sanford blew the goal. The nucks need Luongo.
Sun Jan 11 09:40:08	nice play by the 'nucks. The third line is keeping them hemmed into their own zone.
Sun Jan 11 09:38:16	So todd is doing his line experiments. Thorton with plihal.
Sun Jan 11 09:34:30	so the sharks have this amazing season, except that the bruins and the wings are having amazing seasons as well.
Sun Jan 11 09:31:28	top line play for the 'nucks did well.
Sun Jan 11 09:29:35	'nucks had a bit of energy all of a sudden.
Sun Jan 11 09:27:42	Marleau scores not boyle.
Sun Jan 11 09:26:36	3-2 goal.
Sun Jan 11 09:26:17	seto was x-checked.
Sun Jan 11 09:25:51	why score when you can get an assist!
Sun Jan 11 09:25:43	What a great joe moment. Has the puck alone. goaltender handcuffed.  And guess what he waits to pass to boyle who has a worse shot.
Sun Jan 11 09:23:12	3 on 2. boyle had a great play.
Sun Jan 11 09:21:28	4 on 4.
Sun Jan 11 09:21:19	mats sundin penalty.
Sun Jan 11 09:21:09	What a different coach todd is. He doesn't say his team. He said our team.
Sun Jan 11 09:20:06	glass broke due to a shot.
Sun Jan 11 09:19:56	And now we have a pp.
Sun Jan 11 09:13:33	Compared to the game between the habs-caps, this game is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Sun Jan 11 09:11:01	3rd period.
Sun Jan 11 09:10:58	4 shots on pp today. 10 minutes, 4 shots. blech.
Sun Jan 11 09:10:44	wow. at least blake took a shot. Crippled a nucks player. 1-5. No shot on last pp.
Sun Jan 11 09:09:42	Not really good. Not a single shot.
Sun Jan 11 09:08:52	Sharks on pp.  2 on 1 but failed.
Sun Jan 11 08:46:08	Roenick is feeling frustrated with his teammates.
Sun Jan 11 08:45:34	Sundin line is pushing hard.
Sun Jan 11 08:45:11	No goal. was close. About 10-15 mm ...
Sun Jan 11 08:44:52	Now we're looking at a replay. Almost a goal.
Sun Jan 11 08:43:14	Roenick is desperately missed.
Sun Jan 11 08:42:56	Boucher is an interesting goaltender.
Sun Jan 11 08:41:56	this game is wierd. It's like neither team wants to play. And then they play and then they don't play.
Sun Jan 11 08:34:47	We need roenick's attitude. Something is wrong with the heart of the team. We're going to have Claude Lemieux show up.
Sun Jan 11 08:34:04	Yeah. You can call it that.
Sun Jan 11 08:33:53	Roenick just called the goal a brain cramp.
Sun Jan 11 08:33:15	They score. What a lame give-away from inside the blue-line. We were way, way too lackadaisical.
Sun Jan 11 08:32:37	pp. is starting to be lame.
Sun Jan 11 08:32:02	56 seconds on pp. Not really doing  much.
Sun Jan 11 08:30:23	Tinkering. Thorton, Clowe.
Sun Jan 11 08:29:10	GM place. 10$ it's going to be something else next year.
Sun Jan 11 08:27:49	Jeremy Roenick is claiming to be a maturing influence on the team.
Sun Jan 11 08:25:11	We have better fans than the nucks. But we knew that.
Sun Jan 11 08:18:07	Drew promises to let it go. The rest of us don't believe him.
Sun Jan 11 08:17:35	we killed the penalty.
Sun Jan 11 08:17:03	A punch in the face in the new NHL is a roughing call.
Sun Jan 11 08:16:51	Staubitz two for roughing, and two elbowing.
Sun Jan 11 08:16:34	Another penalty.
Sun Jan 11 08:15:27	'nucks pp is kinda lame. I mean they get chances, but it's slow.
Sun Jan 11 08:12:30	Boucher makes a good save. Sundin wonders wtf.
Sun Jan 11 08:12:13	double minor for roughing. Staubitz was trying to push the guy to fight, but boy did he not want to.
Sun Jan 11 08:11:15	Double minor to staubitz. Dude this kid needs to take a chill pill.
Sun Jan 11 08:10:53	The roughing whine goes on. Staubitz tries to start a fight. And bieksa did not want to engage.
Sun Jan 11 08:09:11	Now we're listening to how great the shot was. No. Sanford sucked.
Sun Jan 11 08:08:50	Mike Grier scores a weak goal on the 'nucks. I mean that was weak. I mean really weak. Sanford wants that back. the 'nuck want luongo back.
Sun Jan 11 08:06:58	2nd period. Henrik Sendin had a great chance.
Sun Jan 11 08:06:47	All star game is a popularity contest. It's a way to have fun. It's not about talent.
Sun Jan 11 07:48:53	Wow. The Nucks gave him a standing ovation. Come-on. This guy is not that great.
Sun Jan 11 07:47:48	But fuck, I was hoping it would be some other day.
Sun Jan 11 07:47:35	Boucher lost his stick, there was chaos, there was a mess, and finally Sundin scores. I mean he was going to score.
Sun Jan 11 07:46:40	Last minute of play.
Sun Jan 11 07:45:52	Boucher is playing well.
Sun Jan 11 07:45:46	Sorry, pushed the net off the moorings in a bit of scrum.
Sun Jan 11 07:45:17	Pushed the puck over the net.
Sun Jan 11 07:44:58	Douglas murray delay of game.
Sun Jan 11 07:44:14	Rob Blake. by throwing it in front of the net and scores.
Sun Jan 11 07:43:27	Sharks score 1-0.
Sun Jan 11 07:42:52	Boyle mishandles the puck. 5 on 3. Nice chances.
Sun Jan 11 07:41:13	4 on 3. Not a good pass from thorton.
Sun Jan 11 07:40:34	Interference. So now we have a 4 on 3.
Sun Jan 11 07:39:31	Best chance this game, marleau on pp. Canucks have too many men on the ice.

Sun Jan 11 07:28:36	once again the sharks are stinking up the joint.
Sun Jan 11 07:27:49	6 goals by Cheechoo. Ouch
Sun Jan 11 07:26:43	Skating, like against calgary is about practice not an activity pursued during the game.
Sun Jan 11 07:26:20	Canucks on pp. Oh wait they have 4 players.
Sun Jan 11 07:24:45	sharks on pp.

Sun Jan 11 06:39:20	Habs win. Time to go watch the sharks.

Jan 11 at the Forum: Habs 5 Capitals 4

Montreal wins an awesome game. Unlike the Toronto game which was fight-night-2009, this was excellent hockey.

Up-and-down play, fantastic passing, skills, and a fun win.

Sun Jan 11 06:39:20	Habs win. Time to go watch the sharks.
Sun Jan 11 06:38:30	12.3 seconds and ovie is on the ice. Do you like your chances? I don't if I am a habs fan. But we win!
Sun Jan 11 06:36:00	we need two goal lead. And sergei delivered with no time on the ice.
Sun Jan 11 06:35:37	SERGEI SCORES!
Sun Jan 11 06:33:23	Ovie and Kovy are simply trading amazing plays
Sun Jan 11 06:33:13	the gentelman's tie-game ... we both are happy with a point. No scoring will happen.
Sun Jan 11 06:25:38	we need price. we desperately need price. he makes us a great team.
Sun Jan 11 06:24:11	Like I said ovie was going to score. this game is not over. Halak is playing well, but not great.
Sun Jan 11 06:20:34	sergei K gets a penalty. not good.
Sun Jan 11 06:19:59	max-pac a rookie mistake.
Sun Jan 11 06:17:55	Ovechkin can score three in the time remaining. We win this one, we'll need one more.
Sun Jan 11 06:15:49	D'ags had a good play. Good attack in the neutral zone.
Sun Jan 11 06:10:12	so fine brisebois is an offensive player. WHY is he playing now?
Sun Jan 11 06:08:53	Can we keep this game?
Sun Jan 11 06:08:43	Max-pac set that up.
Sun Jan 11 06:08:22	FUCK I AM TWITTING and miss a goal.
Sun Jan 11 06:07:53	Kostitsyn was on the one who scored. The man is a monster.
Sun Jan 11 06:07:10	And now the habs get scored on. Halak let one in.
Sun Jan 11 06:05:55	lang on 5 on 3. pp . then another goal .. .and I was ordering pizza, because I didn't they would score on the pp.
Sun Jan 11 05:41:34	Montreal has been blasting the net left and right.
Sun Jan 11 05:38:10	4 on 3. too many men.
Sun Jan 11 05:34:25	Caps goaltender playing well.
Sun Jan 11 05:31:45	we should be able to score one more.
Sun Jan 11 05:31:14	Maybe it's better to have obyrne. At least you can hope with obyrne.
Sun Jan 11 05:30:39	Brisebois needs to go.
Sun Jan 11 05:30:00	And the brisebois count hits 3 and another goal.
Sun Jan 11 05:29:44	Dags missed an open net. sigh.
Sun Jan 11 05:29:37	Brisebois, 2nd time, end of pp makes a horrible play and the caps have a good play. this guy sucks.
Sun Jan 11 05:24:48	And had a wicked shot. Now max-pac gets a penalty from a good o-zone play.
Sun Jan 11 05:24:17	Andrei K is simply the most exciting player in Montreal. he just raced down the ice. nad
Sun Jan 11 05:21:48	ovechkin is amazing
Sun Jan 11 05:20:46	ovechkin is on the pp. Ouch.
Sun Jan 11 05:19:47	laps gets a hooking penalty. BAD.
Sun Jan 11 05:16:50	why brisebois sucks. He was too slow to get the puck from semin which cost us the time to score.
Sun Jan 11 05:15:49	let's see. They seem to be getting their shots on the net. This is good movement.
Sun Jan 11 05:14:48	habs on pp.
Sun Jan 11 05:14:05	the whining about the ballot box stuffing. Aw-come-on.
Sun Jan 11 05:11:59	The plekanec/kovy/max-pac line had some nice pressure. Some good shots. Nothing too serious.
Sun Jan 11 05:10:21	ovechkin line is getting some pressure. But there isn't really any dangerous pressure.
Sun Jan 11 05:08:15	2nd period.
Sun Jan 11 05:04:54	Brisebois is being interviewed about how to play defense. Good grief.
Sun Jan 11 05:01:48	I have to say the decision to mention a dead soldier at every game is a good thing. I think we need to be reminded of this more often.
Sun Jan 11 05:00:44	You know, a damned Canadian? Who knows. Only if it means I think Brian Burke is a terrible for hockey.
Sun Jan 11 05:00:14	Am I a canuck?
Sun Jan 11 05:00:09	don cherry is spewing about fighting. And he's right.
Sun Jan 11 04:48:00	Fourth good chance. Not bad pressure. Is the pp improving?
Sun Jan 11 04:47:19	third good chance. Not bad.
Sun Jan 11 04:45:58	Game is somewhat slow
Sun Jan 11 04:45:43	habs on pp. two shots so far. good movement.
Sun Jan 11 04:44:23	Caps for delay of game.
Sun Jan 11 04:42:04	Thomas Plekanec scored. And so did semin. These are good teams.
Sun Jan 11 04:41:25	PK is doing quite well.
Sun Jan 11 04:40:31	Habs on the pk thanks to ovechking
Sun Jan 11 04:40:18	mtl vs washington ... 7:31 in the first.

Jan 9 at the Forum: Montreal Bulldogs 6 Leafs 2

Montreal plastered the Toronto Maple Leafs in a game where 4 of their players had less than 80 games worth of NHL experience (MaxPac, Chips, Weber, D’agostini).

Toronto’s response? The kind of ugly. disgusting thuggery that the Anaheim Ducks have been practicing out in the west.

Burke’s style of hockey is disgusting. And thankfully not that effective. He’ll create a goon squad that won’t win many games, and won’t win the cup. And his coach, Ron Wilson is a thug as well. Unable to leverage a talented squad, he’ll obliterate the teams desire to win.

God I am pleased to know that the Laffs are in for another half decade of pointless futility.

As for the fans, as long as they think that the beating up Bouillon is good, and not the fact that their team is being destroyed by the other team, they’re screwed.

Watching the Maple Leafs get trashed by Montreal on the Maple Leaf TV channel made it clearer than ever before that a culture of mediocrity will remain a culture of mediocrity for a long long time to come.

As for the abbreviated tweets

 

Fri Jan 09 06:45:34	Toronto is not cooling off. They are deeply frozen.
Fri Jan 09 06:41:11	They're talking about whether hegman was a wuss for not slamming bouillon.
Fri Jan 09 06:40:51	Their announcers are talking about they beat up the Montreal players. Like who cares. You're losing 5-1.
Fri Jan 09 06:39:52	Wow. The Leafs are playing like crap.
Fri Jan 09 06:35:38	Montreal style has evolved to a more grind it out kinda game. They sorta push and push and push and push and push until they score.
Fri Jan 09 06:31:56	So we score two pp against the NYR. And now two against toronto. Is the pp coming to life?
Fri Jan 09 06:30:45	5-1. But Mtl now on the PK. This game should be over.
Fri Jan 09 06:30:11	Halak saved by Toronto incompetence. And then down the other side Andrei K scores on an amazing feed by Lang.
Fri Jan 09 06:29:07	Habs on the PP. what an amazing play by Andrei. Almost scored but Toskala had a great play.
Fri Jan 09 06:27:47	There was a tussle between the Andrei K and Grabs that showed real animosity.
Fri Jan 09 06:26:13	Man on man did I miss a series of fights. Driving home from work! Dang.
Fri Jan 09 05:04:59	weber did a penalty.
Fri Jan 09 05:03:10	I would hate being an announcer for Toronto
Fri Jan 09 04:58:48	Lapierre scores ... We are kicking their sorry toronto asses.
Fri Jan 09 04:57:28	our AHL team can beat their NHL team. And boy is their announcers annoying
Fri Jan 09 04:56:29	MTL scores on a PP. Nice movement from mtl. The AHL bulldogs are on the ice right now. Denis, weber, max-pac...
Fri Jan 09 04:55:55	MTL vs Toronto in Montreal

Jan 08 at Madison Square Gardens: Habs 6 Rangers 3

 

Thu Jan 08 07:23:48	MTL wins 6-3
Thu Jan 08 07:23:19	So tell me why we need this guy sundin?
Thu Jan 08 07:21:43	Lang gets a hattrick.
Thu Jan 08 07:20:24	No icing means we'll see more shots
Thu Jan 08 07:19:53	6 vs 3 for 4 seconds
Thu Jan 08 07:19:24	4-Jun
Thu Jan 08 07:18:23	With Komi 5-5-4 --- coincidence?
Thu Jan 08 07:17:39	Mike Komisarek's record 17-5-2. Interesting
Thu Jan 08 07:15:38	4 on 3
Thu Jan 08 07:15:01	Hammerlick penalty.
Thu Jan 08 07:14:15	The fans head for the exit
Thu Jan 08 07:13:56	Staal was embarrassed
Thu Jan 08 07:13:23	What an amazing goal by Robert Lang.
Thu Jan 08 07:12:35	Now the frigging NYR announcers are going orgasmic.
Thu Jan 08 07:08:41	Halak made a series of good saves, but his rebound control is horrible
Thu Jan 08 07:08:18	Sergei is skating wellish. Not great.
Thu Jan 08 07:07:23	Somehow the team became more disciplined over the last month. Are they skating more?
Thu Jan 08 07:07:01	Halak made a great save on gomez
Thu Jan 08 07:06:15	NYR is really a bad team.
Thu Jan 08 07:05:18	Apparently there was a fist fight in the stands.
Thu Jan 08 07:04:08	approx 9:58
Thu Jan 08 07:03:59	Motreal is playing like crap.
Thu Jan 08 07:03:47	I forgot he was the goaltender that would have put us into the playoffs if Guy Carbonneau had not used huet against toronto
Thu Jan 08 07:02:59	Halak's problem is the rebounds. He lets out too many juicy rebounds.
Thu Jan 08 07:00:53	After all the human seive halak is playing
Thu Jan 08 07:00:46	Of course if you are NYR, you gotta believe you can beat montreal.
Thu Jan 08 07:00:28	Let's see.
Thu Jan 08 07:00:23	what a bad play by andrei. What a bad defensive breakdown.
Thu Jan 08 06:58:18	Mtl is able to generate some nice offense on the pp.
Thu Jan 08 06:57:40	MaxPac had a nice play on the pp.
Thu Jan 08 06:57:02	Sorry, henrik had no chance.
Thu Jan 08 06:56:57	Henrik was no where.
Thu Jan 08 06:56:33	Andrei takes a blast. Lang scores on the PP. Two goals against the best PK. I am telling you man this team loves to play only good teams
Thu Jan 08 06:55:23	MTL has a penalty. No gomez.
Thu Jan 08 06:55:09	Laps is the power play.
Thu Jan 08 06:54:24	Refs are all over the place.
Thu Jan 08 06:54:18	Gomez high-sticking. No callahan.
Thu Jan 08 06:53:28	Can halak keep the habs in this. This is not a great display of goaltending
Thu Jan 08 06:52:42	16:56 offside
Thu Jan 08 06:52:07	Well I'll be damned. We can score. MaxPac does a little bit of interference.
Thu Jan 08 06:51:41	2-Mar
Thu Jan 08 06:51:38	Markov.
Thu Jan 08 06:51:20	rangers have a penalty. montreal scores! OMG
Thu Jan 08 06:49:27	Lunqvist is playing not that wel..
Thu Jan 08 06:46:27	3rd period. 2 periods with no penalties.
Thu Jan 08 06:44:06	End of 2nd period.
Thu Jan 08 06:43:44	Latendresse is playing opportunistically and very forward. This bashing of this player is completely unfair.
Thu Jan 08 06:43:07	Latendresse plays well. Really well.
Thu Jan 08 06:42:43	The gui line is playing well.
Thu Jan 08 06:42:22	Another 3 on 2.
Thu Jan 08 06:41:14	Max Pac is such a rookie.
Thu Jan 08 06:40:50	Komisarek is very very important to this team.
Thu Jan 08 06:40:09	Halak is playing wellish.
Thu Jan 08 06:39:53	When latendress gets the puck down low he is amazing.
Thu Jan 08 06:39:25	4:36 Brisebois watch ... we have another blown defensive play and blown offensive play. Bravo Brisebois
Thu Jan 08 06:37:12	No goal. but at least we found the o-zone. Dags is a good guy, but he needs someone to create space for him.
Thu Jan 08 06:36:34	Another great chance by kovalev.
Thu Jan 08 06:36:23	We do not know the location of the rangers o-zone. O H MY GOD. We had a scoring chance.
Thu Jan 08 06:35:38	They really suck.
Thu Jan 08 06:35:04	Nope.
Thu Jan 08 06:34:39	27th rated. 0 for 15. Can we go for 0-30.
Thu Jan 08 06:33:25	Mtl on the pp. Best PK vs Worst PP. Will we enter the offensive zone for more than 5 seconds?
Thu Jan 08 06:32:39	9:30 brisebois passes to a streaking drury and halak bails that guy
Thu Jan 08 06:31:54	The problem was that the wingers (MaxPac, D'agostini) on two lines are causing chaos when the defense pinches.
Thu Jan 08 06:31:09	Callahan. MaxPac was on the ice. Looking like an idiot.
Thu Jan 08 06:30:15	10:35 rangers score on a nice blast from the side of halak. Rangers were on an odd man rush.
Thu Jan 08 06:29:40	Montreal is playing very tight defense around Halak. But it helps that the Rangers suck offensively.
Thu Jan 08 06:29:11	Can weber be that worse?
Thu Jan 08 06:29:03	We need someone to replace him at the point.
Thu Jan 08 06:28:53	Brisebois made a horrible cross eye pass.
Thu Jan 08 06:28:37	Neither team seams to be doing anything. Andrei kostitsyn is just unbelievable. This is our superstar.
Thu Jan 08 06:27:42	Oh great, we are learning about Russian's love potatoes.
Thu Jan 08 06:22:49	No penatlies in the game. ... Montreal is very happy to hear this.
Thu Jan 08 06:22:36	Game is very choppy and confused.
Thu Jan 08 06:22:01	And people are suprised.
Thu Jan 08 06:21:49	Apparently the czech rookie who was jagr's winger went from 30 goals to 27 healthy scratches.
Thu Jan 08 06:19:58	Andrei kostistyn is our best player. He's just a beast. one of the few guys who can create a goal on nothing.
Thu Jan 08 06:19:37	17:46 The kostitsyn line is playing well, nice feed to lang
Thu Jan 08 06:19:16	Bouillon makes a horrible, horrible play.
Thu Jan 08 06:18:58	Brisebois is too old for this game. He's too slow.
Thu Jan 08 06:18:04	D'agostini is doing nothing.
Thu Jan 08 06:16:38	Halak is not playing well now...
Thu Jan 08 06:16:02	Price is out for a whole week. This is not good at all.
Thu Jan 08 06:15:39	Halak is not playing like crap today. Which is good.
Thu Jan 08 06:15:00	Latendresse goal was nice. He is slow, but not terribly so.
Thu Jan 08 06:14:45	Saw the last 10 minutes of the first period.
Thu Jan 08 06:14:33	montreal vs rangers 2nd period watching from tivo.

Jan 2 at the Rock: Devils 4 MTL AHL Team 1

Sat Jan 03 02:24:09	les boyz have give up as well.
Sat Jan 03 02:14:58	4-1. Denis gets scored upon. Price needs to be healthy. Or we're going to be demolished by the bruins.
Sat Jan 03 02:14:28	And this game is ov-AH!
Sat Jan 03 02:11:28	But Scotty is playing well.
Sat Jan 03 02:11:16	Montreal is making plays. They are playing well.
Sat Jan 03 02:08:12	Captain K had an o-zone hooking penalty. hmmm...
Sat Jan 03 02:05:14	montreal on the penalty kill... sadly this game is over.
Sat Jan 03 02:01:18	MaxPac is going back to the AHL.
Sat Jan 03 02:01:06	Montreal is playing well. Subtract two unforuntate plays and we win this game.
Sat Jan 03 01:57:31	Scott clemenson.
Sat Jan 03 01:57:14	mtl should be winning. having the better of play.
Sat Jan 03 01:55:39	Habs pp. unfortunately goals/min in pp is not better than regular. With 14 min per goal, not enough time.
Sat Jan 03 01:54:29	MTL AHL affiliate playing today. MaxPac, Chips, D'agostini and Denis.
Sat Jan 03 01:53:30	And it begins with a post.
Sat Jan 03 01:52:27	Marc Denis era begins. Please let it be short.
Sat Jan 03 01:51:59	3rd period beings.
Sat Jan 03 01:50:26	Chico eats. What a wierd segment.
Sat Jan 03 01:36:51	2nd peroid ends. Kovalev is trying to score. But clemenson is playing well. Sigh.
Sat Jan 03 01:33:18	Latendress is back. At least he made a good play using his body.
Sat Jan 03 01:27:18	Penalty killed.
Sat Jan 03 01:24:19	And now we have a penalty. markov was so desperate that he pushed the net off the moorings.
Sat Jan 03 01:23:50	Halak is not having a good game. Price is going to spend the rest of the season in net.
Sat Jan 03 01:18:56	Game is done.
Sat Jan 03 01:18:50	Will halak stick around for the 4th goal.
Sat Jan 03 01:18:35	Yet another goal.
Sat Jan 03 01:18:31	Yet another 2 on 1.
Sat Jan 03 01:18:18	The real problem is that the team defense is weakened severely with the rookies.
Sat Jan 03 01:15:24	Markov is a man on a mission. Kovalev is a man on a mission. But we have no depth today.
Sat Jan 03 01:13:14	max pac is trying hard to hit players and missing.
Sat Jan 03 01:11:38	The top line is dominating. Brisebois got a hit. Miracles may happen.
Sat Jan 03 01:07:32	LATENDRESSE IS INJURED!!!!! NON.
Sat Jan 03 01:07:00	Max Pac on the PP. We are desperate.
Sat Jan 03 01:04:58	Lots of motion. Lots of looking. No chances.
Sat Jan 03 01:04:21	Let's see. Good news is that the habs PP efficiency per minute no worse than 5 on 5. So we're not at a disadvantage.
Sat Jan 03 01:03:44	Habs on the PP. Kovalev walks in and gets hit.
Sat Jan 03 00:59:42	Chico is telling everyone that Halak has a five hole the size of a beached whale. At least he didn't go somewhere nasty.
Sat Jan 03 00:46:33	The defence have made a couple of horrible, horrible plays that have resulted in a odd man rushes that halak has not been able to bail us.
Sat Jan 03 00:45:50	well let's see what happens with the rest of the game.
Sat Jan 03 00:42:58	Markov had a terrible, terrible give away.
Sat Jan 03 00:42:04	Another goal. Argh. Argh. We need price back bad.
Sat Jan 03 00:41:55	Halak is blowing chunks out there.
Sat Jan 03 00:40:54	Latendresse has putting a lot of pressure on the point when he plays defense. Friendly bounces have created a few scoring opportunities.
Sat Jan 03 00:39:20	tom the bomb and david clarkson go at it. Tom the bomb nailed to the ground. WHERE IS BGL.
Sat Jan 03 00:37:47	Chips passes the puck and he scores..
Sat Jan 03 00:37:34	max-pac scores!!!! MAX PAC SCORES!!!!
Sat Jan 03 00:37:05	habs top line is moving the puck well.
Sat Jan 03 00:36:00	Did I mention how much I love gamecenter?
Sat Jan 03 00:35:41	halak lets in the definition of a softie. Poor chico doesn't want to call out halak. I guess it's some kind of goalie brotherhood.
