The Day After
Permalink Closed

Well, here I sit on a lazy Sunday morning in gray, soggy Halifax, pondering the Habs' most pitiful and depressing performance of the year, bar none.  Was it the injuries?  Rust from the layoff?  Too many penalties?  Not enough talent? Bad goaltending? Bad coaching?  Bad karma? Too much sponge cake?  All of the above?


Perhaps, but my mood is reflected in the weather this morning. 


One of the things I like about Coach Julien  - as I did about Alain Vignault (remember him?) - is his cool, calm, and collected demeanor behind the bench.  But if, as barry33 has suggested several times, he gives tongue-lashings behind closed doors when required, then I hope all the players find themselves missing a piece of their a$$es this morning.  They deserve no less.  If they find themselves with all nether regional flesh intact, then I might get ahead of Ando in calling for Julien's head.

Nice post, if I knew how to post a picture of sunny Cape Cod I would. On Friday at 330 pm it was sunny. By 430pm Clouds  snow, 80 MPH winds loads of tree damage Cape wide. I never have seen such a change in the weather so fast. We had a plane hit by lightining at Logan it was unbelievable to see major highways at a stand still. I thought the storm was moving to your area

It has come and gone already.  We had about 25 cms (10 inches) of snow - wet, soggy stuff; perfect for snowballs, but I damn near put my back out shovelling the stuff -  but today it's raining and 15 degrees warmer (Celscius), so it will all be gone by suppertime.

Ah the gloom - I was in severe pain all week from an abscessed molar which was yanked out of my head Friday

Saturday I just felt like I was having my teeth pulled - thanks to some lousy icemanship

It really feels like nothing has changed this year over the past few. We've gone from being the center of the hockey universe to a backwater shack that nobody talented seems to want to live in.

If you want to slap some blame down - start with the league. Idiotic expansion after expansion has watered down the quality of play. There's simply not enough NHL quality talent out there. Look at our struggle to find a good D-man. It's like Elmo at Xmas - the shelves are bare, and there's no new stock in the warehouse.

Add in the Montreal media who wouldn't know how to cover a winning season and the pathetic behaviour of so many fans and.... well, would you want to play at the Bell Centre?

Maybe it's just my throbbing jaw or the inclement weather, but I'm joining you in misery today, so let's try to keep it in perspective - at least Guinness isn't going out of business anytime soon!

Anyone notice how the picture of the Halifax skyline keeps changing with the day?  I didn't realize it would do that.  I picked up the picture (easy to do, davidb - just right-click on a picture, then copy & paste) from the local CBC website; it's a webcam located at the top of the MacDonald Bridge.  It updates every five minutes, so it will be a current shot of downtown Halifax (or surroundings, as the camera does swivel) as long as that post stays on this site.


Neat, n'es-ce pas?
