You guys just shamed Fubar's future son
Blackhawks sonned the Wild.
Marvie is Fubar's daddy now. In turn, Marvie is now a grandfather.
Happy birthday, Marvie.
Having a Wild fan for a dad doomed him anyway. We're just throwing gas on the fire.
Creeper stole Calamari's son you filthy NHLGAF casual
I bet Pikma can't even name a player from the Stanley Cup-winning San Diego Gulls.
That's an alternative fact if I've ever seen one
And on his birthday too. Shameful.
My car has anti-cat theft technology.

Wanna bet?
Also In very sad news..: Markov's Ex Wife died of Ovarian Cancer and he is using the Habs byweek to get his twins from Russia.

Ovarian cancer is scary shit, that's what my mom had this past summer
Jesus, 5 year old kids that is fucking sad.
I may feel dumb asking this, but context?
Edit: Oh wait, this is a tweet from Simmer. I get it now lol.

I guess this means no NHLers in the Olympics?
Who the heck is going to represent Canada?
Can you skate kid?

I guess it's up to me and Kave to win a gold metal for Canada
I can't see Bergevin firing Therrien unless they're both canned at season's end following an 18 wheeler type collapse.

Mason Raymond.
Therrien is 2nd in odds just behind Ruff on Mise-O-Jeu
why
how
he survived last season and we're still first in our (shitty) division, what the fuck are people expecting
Last season was the built in Price injury excuse. If the Habs continue to flounder and even miss or get bounced early in round 1 I think they'll be calls for change.

Price being injured isn't a reason anymore.
Gotta rant
TSN just showed a montage of Laine's mistakes from two nights ago with soaring, dramatic music playing in the background with critical commentating spliced in.
They then cut to two pretty blondes with caked on makeup who calmly assess that he's just a rookie and should be forgiven.
Thanks, TSN, for bringing us back down to Earth
This kind of stuff coupled with the generic rock music played over any clips.....I'm finding it tougher and tougher to watch TSN and Sportsnet these days. Maybe they're spread too thin so everything is lazy.

We should form an NHLGAF Team Canada, it'd be the perfect excuse for me to become canadian and escape from this country before it's too late
we've been one of if not the most injured team this year, PLENTY of excuses to be had
i'm not saying they're good excuses, I want Therrien out and always did, i'm saying he's not getting fired
Doesn't matter. People just look at results. In 4 years of Therrien:
Lost in Conference Quarterfinals
Lost in Conference Finals
Lost in Second Round
Missed playoffs
If this year is "Lost in First Round" the media and fans will be screaming for change. Coaches rarely last 5 years or more unless improvement is being made each season. The whole shelf life / players tune out coach thing.
I hope you're right but I doubt it.
Therrien is never going away, i've accepted that and moved on. Until Bergevin leaves, Therrien will be here forever
That's what I think too though. If Habs get bounced early, both will be gone.
Just checked. The shelf-life for Therrien is past due. You know who the longest serving Habs coach is in the last 40 years before Therrien? Scotty Bowman in the 70s. Fucking Jacques Demers won the Cup and was bounced soon after.
I know that feeling, me I know I'm stuck with Ruff until the day I die/Nill leaves, whatever happens first
yeahhh but those stats are a bit skewed, Gainey liked to fire one coach per year so he could play pretend-coach for half the season

Y'know, doesn't the head ref have a headset that he could use? Why'd he have to use his thin ass phone to make the "Inconclusive Evidence" call?
:lol
LOL, the NHL is beyond belief. I remember during a Leafs game they made an offside challenge and the refs are at the bench reviewing it on a 7" tablet. Like WTF they don't throw those decisions to a crew upstairs to look at?

Thing is, the next winter Olympics after South Korean is also taking place in Asia and will likely be an even bigger event: China. NHL wants to go there, but doesn't have much interest in SK.
That said, IOC is basically telling the NHL, if you don't go to South Korea, you're not going to China.

He's actually ordering a pizza for after the game.
Just focusing on your own division - Tampa, Buffalo and Detroit have all had it worse.
Red Man said we lost the most man games yesterday but I couldn't find the stat, which is why I hesitated a bit
still, anything will be used as an excuse to keep Therrien
I've been saying it for a couple years now - it's not just "Fire Therrien". It's "Fire Therrien & Bergevin". When one goes, both have to. Bergevin has anchored himself to Therrien and their fates are now intertwined. Just firing Therrien won't erase the stink. If the Habs have a first round exit this year (which they will if they win the division....funny enough, if they slide to #2 I can see them making the second round due to this fucking wacky playoff format and the metro division), Molson needs to finally fire both of these clowns.
