2 Hours To Deadline....Nothing Is Happening As Usual

By -

Trade deadline day peaked with Ryan Smyth crying as he left Edmonton.  I remember Huet being moved in 08, and us keeping Price.  Other than that the deadline day has been a dud.  

 For all the hype deadline day gets, it is nothing.  

 The art of the trade in sports in general has died.  Subban - Weber may be the last great trade that we see in hockey.  Nothing of note is going to happen today.  As of writing this, the best thing that has moved is a couple of first round draft picks, and we don't even know who they will amount to.

 Montreal moving Pleks yesterday was a tad surprising,  considering the Habs traditionally do nothing on deadline day.  

 The is the first year in a long time that I won't be disappointed at the end of deadline day. That is mostly because I don't care.  It would take Pacioretty, Gallagher, or Price moving to make me care.  None of those guys are moving today.

 I'm so ready for July 1.  That's the new and exciting deadline day.  Until then I'm ready for patio season and cheering on the Golden Knights in the playoffs. 

 Can the Olympics come back?   Can we get in on these first round picks flying around?  Cmon!

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

Why Are 'Fans' Dictating a Culture of Losing?

If you don't want this, you suck. The NHL has been floating the idea of a 24 team playoff format. Under the proposed format, there would be some sort of play-in tournament for what would serve as the "real playoffs."   When I heard this as a life long Habs fan I was ecstatic, finally for the first time in 3 years we are going to get some semblance of playoff hockey in Montreal.  This is the best news to come out of sports in months! And then I took to Twitter and came across a bunch of alleged Habs fans who have grown up without ever seeing a Stanley Cup parade posting wild takes.  Tweets on tweets about not wanting to make the playoffs because we somehow don't deserve it. Are you kidding me? We didn't make up Corna rules, Corna rules are THE RULES! As if whoever wins the Stanley Cup will need an asterisk.  Every organization is on an even playing field with this thing.  If some players don't want to isolate and follow the rules and organizations have to us...
