    those 3,000 are the boobirds. so, no. :)

  • Comment on Pat Burns funeral Nov. 29 in Montreal

    you got two emotional extremes right there. of course different people are gonna call different things.

  • Comment on The reverse-jinx is alive!

    the empty-netter from the blueline, plus another empty net -from the crease!- a few seconds later :)

    hope it makes the highlight reels tomorrow!

  • Comment on Philly awaits before all-star break

    Halpern must be coming back, then. Engqvist's a centre, White a right wing.

  • Comment on Audio: Brian Gionta named captain

    in this case, he also spoiled a very big Habs news item.

    btw, he didn't break any news on the matter. folks knew about Gio's captaincy weeks before Gagnon decided to "break" the news. Habs had to scramble because he'd just put a wrench in their timeline. he apparently didn't make any friends on the team that day.

    reporting on future news -especially something that has no real consequence on our well-being right now (re: political scandals, etc) as, say, the captaincy of a hockey team before training camp- has more to do with attention-seeking and gossiping than actual proper, well-respected journalism. add the fact that the news was broken on a few blogs weeks before Gagnon even wrote his column (and that 95% of Habs fans already had a gut feeling he was the obvious choice) also points me to the annoying friend theory.

     

    that being said: congrats on officially being the Montreal Canadiens Captain, Gio ! :)

  • Comment on Draft week begins with a stroll down memory lane

    dollar for dollar, i'm better than Laps, then!

    i'll still take Gomez over Laps any day of the week. thanks.

  • Comment on Draft week begins with a stroll down memory lane

    this is Walsh, right?

    seriously. i hope you're not inferring that these numbers mean anything other than a snapshot taken during a particular player's breakout 4-5 month run. because, by that logic, Lapierre's better than Gomez as well :)
