I'm still wondering what team was impersonating the Habs this weekend?  That wasn't the Habs that we've known for the past few months?

I hate to say this, because I didn't watch either game, but vs. Boston, we played 2 terrible periods and Philly had no team...maybe just good timing to have played these teams when we have. Buffalo will be the real test of the bunch. getting 4 pts from them will certainly prove we are in it for real.

So you definitely subscribe to the "Glass Half Empty" theory...............

What say you?

I say I will ask Claude and I am sure that some he will not allow me to copy and paste lol..but I will ask him and if he says to go ahead I shall. By the way Nilsey, I was doing my ABSDA mail outs today...and boy are there a pile of D'entretmonts down in Yarmouth! My Comptroller, Harold Martell, who is from Cape Breton, says that finding a D'Entremont in the Yarmouth phone book is like looking for "Jones" in the Metro Toronto directory.

........... and we're all direct descendants of Sieur Phillip Mius d'Entremont, the Baron of Poubomcoup,  who founded my little village in 1651.  (The Mius name became "Muise"; there are tons of them around too; they're all my cousisns.)    "d'Entremont" is the oldest family name in Nova Scotia.  My cousin Del d'Entremont owns the Home Hardware in Pubnico; you may have dealt with him in the past?
As for CJ, you can leave out any personal stuff or profanity, if that leaves anything!
By the way, say Hello to Harold for me.  I worked with him for three weeks about 25 years ago, but I still remember him.

Baron of Poubomcoup? That's too good to be true.
It's almost like being the Duke of Ecum Secum!

Don't go dissing my great, great,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,grandfather.  He really was the Baron of the "Baronnie de Pobombcoup", which today is generally the area around the villages of East & West Pubnico, NS, where I grew up.  He was French nobility, and since you don't believe me, check out a couple of the many areas on the web dedicated to him:
http://collections.ic.gc.ca/argyle/html/egenealogy2.htm
http://museum.gov.ns.ca/av/statue-e.html
I can see the house I grew up in from the base of that statue (in the second link).
So you guys now know: Nil d has noble blood coursing in his veins!-- Edited by Nil d at 21:15, 2006-02-06 -- Edited by Nil d at 21:22, 2006-02-06

All right, you made me do it.
I am the direct descendant of the Baron of Longueil (there was such a thing!). Also French noble blood in there somewhere (the suburbs probably), and obviously destined to be a Habs fan. I s?&t you not.
