paradise island

About last night...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyeah. Not in the mood to go back to that sad time, but... I must be strong.
Being shutout by the sens is about as painful as watching Toronto sweep a back-to-back series against Philly. Maybe even more painful, actually. Over the past year, I've grown to become very bitchy toward Ottawa. The stress and competition between the two clubs lately might have to do with it...and to think I used to adore the Sens. Hmmph. They think they're so great... with they're little Spezza/Heatly/Alfredsson line. Psh. Whatever! They're just wannabes off..like..the... KOVIE/PLEKS/AK46 LINE.
Yeah they wish they were that pro.
...
Sigh.
Yes.
I'm bitter.

Seriously, though. They completely shut down the blue, blanc, rouge. Practically in every facet of the game. Every time Kovie touched the puck, 3275 sens were on him. They blocked a bunch of shots, too. Aaaand their goals were...not Carey's fault? Sir Stoic had no chance on the deflection nor the weird nearly-over-the-crossbar one. To be honest, I don't even remember the 3rd goal.

For the first time in a long time, Montreal succeeded in out-shooting their opponent. Kudos to them for that!

As long as the Habs make it to the playoffs, I'm happy. That's all that matters. Seriously, NOBODY expected Montreal to come out this strong this season. Effing Hockey News rated them a D+ and didn't place them in the post-season.
It's a delightful surprise.
IN YOUR FACE, NON-BELIEVERS.


Yessir!
Halak is starting tomorrow vs NYI. It feels like forever since I've watched him play (a week).
....
.......
Yeah yeah. I know. But a week..'tis too long in my books! But then again...I am a huge *coughcrazycough* fan of his. Of course I want to see him play more often!
I'm just glad he's back in Montreal (he is too and it's cute how he constantly says how happy he is in interviews).
Make me proud, Halàk! (randomly decided to put the accent in his name for the first time..ever?)

Wow.

I really don't understand the Habs sometimes.
Oh, and I guess they're screwed now that every team knows to shut down the Kovalev line in order to win. Other than that trio, they're kinda struggling in offense.
:|

OF ALL THE TEAMS. THE LEAFS.
Geez, Montreal!


Oh.
Yeah.
Hi Price.
Are you happy Carbs trusts you more than Halak now?
:(

Bof

5-3 loss to the Rangers.
That's what I get for praising the Habs.
:|

Sergei's penalty-shot goal was awesome. He looked so happy when he scored. He couldn't stop smiling, and neither could I ♥ Then, when he got hit from behind, I jumped up and freaked out on Hellweg. A-HOLE. He gave me a scare :( I thought Kosti was hurt for sure. But he came back later and kept playing strong, do it was all good :)

It would be fun to see Halak play sometime this week. Considering Huet played 2 games in a row...but it probably won't happen. I've been waiting for him to start a game for a while now and...well it hasn't happened.
>:(

Of course

"Habs fall to Sid-less Pens"
-The beautiful header on canadiens.com of tonight's game

Pitsburgh must be some kind of holy-super-team or something. They won a game even WITHOUT Sid the Baby. Oh, how wonderful.
:|

Good for Sabourin, though. For some unknown reason, he seems to play well against Montreal. What's the deal? I don't know. All I wish is that Conklin (despite being on a winning streak) would've played instead of him. We may have at least scored a goal.

Oh, and did I ever mention I can't stand the Penguins? I didn't mind them a few years back, but ever since Crosby burst onto the scene...well, you know.
Unfortunately...at the begining of Sid's career, I actually...umm... liked him. *flinches* YES BEAT ME IF YOU'D LIKE. I used to think he was the coolest thing... When we went to a Sens/Pens game during my grade 8 school trip, I was jumping up and down at the thought of seeing him live. I was young, okay? I didn't know any better. Geez.


Anyway, next game: Boston.
Mmmm. Bruins.
:)

My oh my!

Yeah, so I shouldn't have gotten too excited that Montreal was on a winning streak. I mean, I actually expected them to win against the struggling Rangers, but...you know. The Habs are a special team.
The game did have some positive points, though. Like the fact that Halak played the 3rd period (and didn't let any goals in), and the fact that Sergei Kostistyn (baby brother of Andrei) scored our only goal :) I had fun cheering really loud for those two guys.

I learned at the begining of the week that my mom had e-mailed the Bulldogs to ask if I could possibly meet Halak when we went down (cause I guess I'm some kind of huge fan) and and...they e-mail her back and said that they're always happy to make special requests for fans...and that is where the happy ends. Right after, he told my mom that Halak had been called up and therefore meeting him was not possible. He also added, "I'm sure your daughter will be very proud of him for being in Montreal!!"
...
... *twitch*
...
Of course I'm proud. I'm very, very happy!
BUT MEETING HIM WOULDA BEEN SPEC-FREAKING-TACULAR.

And this whole thing woulda been a surprise for me. Imagine the look on my face... Ohhh god. It would of been priceless. (I was friggin starstruck/speechless when I met friggin Alain Goulet! Frigg! Imagine me meeting Halak?? It would be like an instant cardiac arrest!)


YAY! I watched San Jose come from behind and beat the Maple Laffs last night. I had fun laughing at them (and Nabokov 'cause he's just the funniest/cutest goalie ever).
The strange thing is, at the end of the game, when I was done snickering and when I realized this was yet ANOTHER disapointing loss for the Leafs, I think I actually felt a grain of sadness for them (their having some...troubles. I mean, WHAT KIND OF TEAM turns down Scotty Bowman???). I know. I had to pinch myself to see if I was having some kind of twisted nightmare. ME?? SYMPATHY?? TORONTO???? NEVER AGAIN!!!!!


Talk about a funky hockey night.

Speechless.

Let's stop there, shall we?

(You can do it Halak<3 Rock on!)

...

Although the Habs lost last night, I'm INCREDIBLY proud of them. Especially (holy crap I forgot how to write that word) Bonk, he played awsome and got 2 goals~. Man, he's a trooper. Plus, Aebischer played really well too! AND DUDES, we have like..15 shorthanded goals now!! ISN'T THAT WICKED?!?! Near the end, my dad's friend was saying that the reason the ref's weren't calling penalties on the Habs anymore (DID YOU SEEE All THE POSSIBLE PENALITES?!) was because we scored more shorthanded than with a man advantage *sigh* I'm so proud of our team.
They were trailing by 2 goals in the third, had a frekin 7 minute penalty in the 2nd, the refs seemed one-sided on the Souray call, AND THEY STILL MANAGED TO GET A POINT OUT OF THAT GAME. ILY MONTREAL, I LOVE YOUR EFFORT.
...
ARMSTRONG SHOULDA GOTTEN A PENALTY, doncha think? He was the one who threw down his gloves first, AND he fought. He wasn't just laying there! GOOD GOD THOSE REFS ARE INCONSISTENT.
*glares at them*



p.s, Sydney Crosby's a baby and he gets on my nerves. Like c'mon, Lapierre barely touched him off the face-off, and he went flying like he had gotten his heart speared out. I was like: GET UP YOU LITTLE SISSY, TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!!!1!!11! *twitch* Then he turns around and trips Lapierre off the next faceoff. Any more blatant than that and there would've been a spotlight on him while he was doing it. (I couldn't help but laugh as they showed the replay like 29287635264 times, it was an fn pathetic attempt at a revenge attack) But really, good grief, what has the world of reffing come too? I've seen refs at our arena make better calls then that. (At least they actually call something.)

:/

Ummmm..

Okay. well. uhh.

wth is going on Montreal?

Cmon guys, when you try, ya'll are the best team in the NHL.

DO SOMETHING.

:'(

LOLZ!!!11!11 *hysterical laughter*
