who is that making the dat ass face next to her?

L to R:
Max Talbot, SCF Game 7 Superhero
Jordan Staal, future Selke winner / Philadelphia Flyers slayer
Taylor Swift, the hottest fucking 'good girl' white chick who you'll never see naked but you JUST know has the juiciest pink pussy going unused due to her "morals."
Alex Goligoski, the Penguins future at the point w/ Kris Letang (provided they don't trade him like dumbdumbs).
Tyler Kennedy, piggly wiggly.

I dunno, Taylor Swift just doesnt do it for me. Could cut a roast beef with that face.

She's like the female sexuality equivalent of Georges Laraque... you think oh, big muscles, decent hands when he gets a chance, you'd think he'd be a dominant hockey player... but no. Taylor Swift, remarkably penis pleasing, but looks like she'd be a dud in bed. Oh well. I'd still brag about it to my future wife. Hell, I'd brag about it at my wedding if I did Taylor Swift.

Montreal fans also threw a shitfit about pretty much every single one of the moves Gauthier made last off-season, I wouldn't buy too much into it.

That was Gainey that made all of the moves. I loved Koivu, but I can understand he didn't harness the team in the way a captain should.

Overall, I hate Halak being gone, but I can understand it. Price will either step up, or fade away, at least it will be known, finally. It will be interesting to see how Halak does in St. Louis, and I really wish him the best. I'm sooooo thankful that I didn't get a Halak jersey this season...

The Habs need to re-sign Plekanec, Gomez just isn't enough. He wants to stay in MTL, and I'm really interested to see if he can flourish with the backing of the Habs in a contract lasting more than 1 year.

My Halak with the Blues?... Bet I'm not the only one feeling the blues..... >.>

[NynJa]

Even more lol'able is them shitcanning Laraque then trading Halak for another goon

Sorry, just got in, catching up on posts.

Laraque got it in his head that he's not an enforcer, he actually wanted to be a hockey player. On top of the fact when he actually went on the ice to enforce, no one wanted to fight him, so he was a waste of space.

re: Halak trade, it could go two ways:
1-Halak could have just gotten hot at the right time, get a huge contract, and turns into Tim Thomas, Huet, Theodore, etc etc. You sign him to a huge contract, and he fails to deliver. Waste of money.
2-Habs dont have much cap space, have a lot of resignings to do. Halak was a RFA, so all it took was another team to basically out bid for him. Habs may as well figured they could get SOMETHING for Halak while his value was high, instead of getting dick (which they kinda did it seems -.-)
Atleast he was traded to a WCF team, so we only have to see him once or twice if it wasnt just a hot streak. If they attempted to resign and fail, and it wasnt just a hot streak, he could have gone to a ECF team where he trolls us 4 times a year, or even a division rival where he trolls us 6 times a year.

Well, at least Halak went to a team that desperately needs a goalie. I don't know who the hell Ty Conklin is, and Mason may be Canadian, but I've never liked his play style watching him play.

[Callisto]

Ty Conklin is awesome ftr

[Callisto]

Watching the last few minutes of the NBA Finals since it's a sport and a Game 7(close game too), holy shit I will never complain about NHL officiating taking over a game again. Every single play for either team there's a foul call lol.

[Selamis]

But even with that 5th title, Kobe is still leagues away from Jordan in terms of numbers and how good a player he is. Also, basketball sucks. Wtf is this, calling a foul for bumping into a guy or slapping him on the wrist lol.

[Snick]

I had no idea what the NBA Champion trophy was called til just now. So unmemorable compared to Stanley Cup, World Series or Super Bowl :s

Also I'm pretty sure all the points ih the 4th were from fouls lol.

[Callisto]

I think after the Palace Brawl the NHL should've tried to coax Artest to change to hockey by telling him fighting was OK there.

[Ishido]

Ty Conklin is awesome ftr

yes

This just dawned on me. Halak isnt even officially a Blue yet, he hasnt signed a contract. They have RFA rights to him, nothing more.

[Callisto]

Price isn't a Canadien, either.

[NynJa]

That is true as well.

[Richybear]

It's ok, if someone signs Price out from underneath the Habs, we'll just bring back Racicot!
Or Jeff Hackett!

[Callisto]

They could always trade to bring Huet back...

[Richybear]

Hip Hip Huet!!
... No thanks.
I think I'd rather dig Roman Cechmanek out from the rock of obscurity than have Huet back
