Random thoughts.......

Caught a little bit of HNIC last night, specifically Don Cherry's segment, he was giving his thoughts on who was left out of the Team Canada lineup.  I was surprised to see our very own Bambi (MAB) on his list, his numbers are right up there with the likes of Phaneuf, Bouwmeester and Mike Green.  Who would have thought?  Not bad for someone Bob picked up at a hockey flea market for a bargain price.

If there was a ever a "good" time for Markov to be injured it was game one of the season.  Unlike last year's squad, there was no collective "we're screwed" mentality.  Not even Jacques Martin was aware of what Markov could bring to the table. 

I'm really sick and tired of the Price versus Halak crap.  Why are there two camps?  If Halak has a good game some people react as if it's a jab at Price and vice versa.  Here's a thought, they play on the same TEAM.  Personally I don't care if Mickey Mouse is in nets, it's all about winning games. 

I'm equally as fed up of the on going bitching and whining over Scott Gomez's salary.  He's here to stay, and yes he does need Gionta as his winger, just get over it people.  He was the lure to sign Gionta in the first place.  Gomez is a smart hockey player, Gionta knows his moves and where to position himself, Pouliot is proving to be the third man on what will be a very good offensive line. 

The giraffe (Gill) is holding his own too, he's great on the penalty kill, I'm tired of that bitch fest too.

John Tortorella's hissy fits don't seem to be helping the Rangers these days, maybe he should try a different approach.  Penguins are going through a mini slump and Sid had a hissy fit of his own yesterday.  The Kings continue to surprise, and much to my delight the Leafs lost last night, again.  Komo making Team USA's lineup tells me all I need to know, what an eye roller.  If that's their best........

Looking forward to see how we fare against the better teams, this afternoon against Buffalo will be a good starting point.

Happy (hic) New Year!

Yup, we drank the whole thing and then started on the wine.......good munchies too!  Didn't see all of the game, just bits and pieces, but from what I did see Jaro wasn't great.  But so what, we won it, I hope the Habs whooped it up last night and are good and hungover today.  I saw Bambi (MAB) and the giraffe (Gill) score and Yappierre dropping the gloves.

I'll check out the winter classic this afternoon, I'm officially declaring it couch potato day at Chez Moey's, we'll top it off with our annual New Year's day cheese fondue by the fireplace, accompanied with a bottle of fine wine of course. 

Back to work on Monday, it's been a lovely week off.  But no more depressing thoughts, our Habs are mostly healthy and in a playoff spot, a perfect end to 2009.

Our very own Bambi.......

Marc-Andre Bergeron was literally picked off the junk pile or possibly rescued from the middle of a frozen pond.  What I love about this guy is his attitude or should I say lack of.  He just looks so happy to be employed and he gives it his all.  No airs or graces, or "I'm all that" and no sense of entitlement.  I know people make fun of MAB's defensive lapses and his uncanny knack for tripping over his own feet, but I find it endearing.  It brings back childhood memories of watching Bambi on an icy pond.  And much like Bambi, it doesn't appear to phase him in the least, he just dusts himself off and gets on with it.  Mind you, watching the dynamic duo of MAB and O'Byrne trying to clear the puck from behind our net is cause for alarm and a few giggles.  I just cover my eyes and hope for the best, which is pretty much how I watch every Habs' game these days.  And I love how he just keeps shooting, even if he misses the net by a country mile he lives by the old adage "if at first you don't succeed try try again."  He's just a dose of pure clean fun and I'm loving it.

Interesting tidbit, MAB is BAM spelled backward :)

In my last post I  promised a recap of our mini weekend getaway but due to unforeseen events we had to reschedule for mid January.  Stay tuned, it's coming to a theatre near you.
