You did see what John Oliver thinks of this stuff! Wondering what Canadian beer would be the equivalent of Bud?

Labatt Bleue, Molson Canadian

all simple, discount lagers

 

[MrMonkey]

Molson was a fav of the gang back in my early drinking days! It was like we moved up a notch going imported! LOL!

Just looked at the NHL standings, Montreal is undefeated! Those bastards! Let them set the record for total points in a season and be ousted in the 1st round of the playoffs! Preferably by the .....

We're going all the way this year MrM. Galchenyuk is blossoming into the #1 center we desperately needed.

All the pieces are in place.

Just keep Price healthy - that's all I care. World Cup is next fall and we don't need any stupid NHL shenanigans to mess things up.

Mike Keenan has been trying to get his Russian citizenship for awhile now. Complicating things (perhaps?) - he was just fired from his coaching job with Magnetigorsk.

Point being: guy is a weirdo.

 

[FairWarning]

Forgot he went there to coach. I'm sure his players hated him there also.

 

[Matty]

Can't believe they keep giving a job to Tortorella. Blue Jackets now.

 

[reno cool]

Russian hockey needs foking NA coaches over there. :
This is why Russian hockey now looks like a cheap knock off of NA.
Come to think of it all European hockey is lame. Americans infiltrated everywhere.
This is what happens when you piss on your ancestors

 

[Mudcat]

Meanwhile the Columbus Blue Jackets lose again - spoiling John Tortorella's coaching debut. Such a nice guy too.

BJ's are 0-8-0. That is considered: not very good.

 

[Mudcat]

Habs do not play Carey Price, win 7-2, are now 8-0-0.


That is all.

 

[reno cool]

What's going on over there? They got a good player or two or did they get the right coaching?

 

[Mudcat]

Yeah, I don't know. That was just one game against a bottom-dweller.

I keep hearing commentators commentating that they would be a borderline playoff team without Carey Price - but that feels to me like the kind of thing commentators say to feel like they're saying something.

Lookit me, bravely claiming something that can't be proven.

But I shore don't know.

I was glad as hell to have Price on the Olympic team, I'll bravely say that.

Flyers lost in OT, good watch if you're a Flyers or Buffalo fan. If not, it was probably awful.

Tomorrow night is Danny Briere retirement night.

Briere, I said. Here he is with some fat chick and a dog.
