Habs on a 4 game losing skid, playing their 4th game on this West Coast swing, facing the Kraken Sunday night.
It wasn't pretty against the Nucks on Thursday, as they dominated several facets of the game in a 4-1 drubbing of the Habs.
Thankfully, there was some good news in the interim -- the long awaited debut of David Reinbacher on Friday. He didn't disappoint, showing a lot of poise, smarts, positioning and smooth skating and scoring the tying goal that brought the Rocket back into a game where they had been trailing for the most part -- and which they won in OT.
We need to get good news where we can find it, so here's to you David Reinbacher.
Perhaps this custom practice jersey was an indication.
Back to the Habs, there is really no world where one can find a positive about Josh Anderson. His TOI has been declining since January on account of his inability to produce anything -- against the Nucks, he didn't even manage to record a shot on goal.
Time to sollicit the advice of a big gun. What would Kevin O'Leary do?
He'd take the idea of rostering the Donkey and would shoot it behind the barn. Only the idea of him, not him -- hey, it's a family forum and we do not approve of gratuitous violence.
Any hope for even a small improvement, Donkey? We'll take anything.
No worries, you have a spotlight on you, Donkey -- we'll be on you like parasitic ticks residing in your hind legs.
Which brings us to another unresolved and unresolvable irritant -- these media types who are hellbent on shoving their repulsive faces into our TV monitors and more often than not, are completely unbearable.
There is the guy with the raspy voice on RDS and his robotic salutation, "Bon match!"
Or this language mangler who conducts ice level exchanges with out of breath players on their pre-game warm ups. "How did you felt?"
This other guy, who like François Gagnon, hails from the print media but somehow thinks he has a face and disposition for television. I dunno, he generates a Cringe Factor 9 vibe every time he's on camera, it's like he's trying to smile but doesn't really and has this weird stare.
I believe that Arpon Basu belongs in the Louvre.
OK, Pierre LeBrun -- what were you thinking, sporting that mustache and haircut (hidden here, but you get the idea)? Did you join an historical re-enactment society?
All of which makes us appreciate the glory days of hockey media.
Where have you gone, Dick Irvin?
Our fan base turns its lonely eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo ...
And, since we can't possibly end this segment on a negative note, there is always room for Slaf, who potted a goal against the Nucks, his 38th point of the season, extending his consecutive points streak to 6 games. Nicely done, Chadkovsky.
