It was a joyous homecoming for PK Subban on Thursday, as a pre-game ceremony was held in his honor at the Bell Centre.
True to himself, Subban riled up a vociferous and appreciative crowd that was hell-bent on letting Subban know how much he was missed. It's as if there was some kind of collective healing going on, with fans not having gotten over the trade that led to his departure.
And of course, Subban's heightened sense of the dramatic, punctuated his address to the fans, when Carey Price joined him in the long awaited performance of a ritual that had been a mythical remembrance, given how it was prohibited by then head coach Michou.
There was so much intensity following Subban's address to the crowd, including inspirational words directed at the team's current players, that it probably lifted the team toward its 4-3 win over the Preds.
Since Subban leaves no one indifferent, it's not surprising to have seen a throng of media people hounding him after the game.
Even a seasoned beat reporter like Mapper, who is normally composed and detached, appeared to exhibit a dreamy gaze. And it caused the likes of Chantal Machabée, to forget that she no longer has a media job.
Of note, Subban was not wearing a Habs jersey during his ceremony. He also mentioned that he is still in good shape and training. Which makes for an intriguing poll question.
Speaking of the media, is there any one more controversial and clueless, than Norman Flynn?
Flynn who somehow continues to act as a pundit on RDS and on BPM sports radio, came up with yet another of his outlandish trade proposals:
It apparently wasn't enough for him after getting lambasted for suggesting that Nick Suzuki should have been traded for Wayne Simmonds, or how Cole Caufield should have been swapped for Kyle Palmieri.
How Flynn continues to have a job in media is beyond comprehension as he's become a parody unto himself. There isn't a time when he's mentioned without getting showered with ridicule.
Clearly, he's in the wrong job. This, is more likely where he belongs:
Inspired by @Milhouse40 who used a pic from the above movie in relation to Flynn. Thank-you!
Or, if you prefer ...
If you thought Flynn was an irritant, there is more than enough elbowing taking place on the Habs forum as we're seeing more and more posters fear that the Habs' fortunes may become tainted on account of individuals who post jinx-style content. Luckily, a solution is in sight.
If anyone guarantees that the Habs will draft a particular player, or finish in a particular drafting spot or if they post a thread title that emits too favorable a take on a future uncertain event that is out of the hands of the Habs, then this newly created unit will be sent to their house and confiscate the devices used to spew such jinx material.
Introducing ...
The Squad does not only confiscate a jinxer's devices. It performs a little ritual with them, in the middle of street right in front of the jinxer's home, in full view of his neighbors.
Here's a pic of a recent intervention. The Squad ran over the jinxer's devices in what is certainly the ultimate dissuasive jinxing remedy.
The Squad's services are not limited to a particular brand or model ...
Yeah jinxer, go ahead -- you try and call the cops now!
Better still, please don't jinx it for those who have superstitions about such things.
In those same threads where jinxing is taking place, you can always find the Habs' forum Posting Ninja crunching up probabilities on those game outcomes that favor a better draft pick for the Habs. He has been criticized for his over-zealousness by some posters (hey, you can't win them all) however he remains undeterred. He's gone so far as publishing a book about his strategies.
@Adam Michaels -- thanks for being a good sport. I greatly appreciate your contributions to this forum and doing memes involving you is my way of paying homage. Kudos for all you do!
Did you know that further to recent advancements in technology, it is now possible to use identifier scanning apps on human beings?
A test was recently conducted on Dadonov involving an identifier app. See the results for yourself!
The same QR code?!? What a coincidence!
We also experimented with a different type of identifier app using Mike Hoffman as a subject. The app reads a human face and generates an accurate corresponding image.
Hoffman is currently in Marty's doghouse, having been a healthy scratch in 3 of the last 4 games. Would this app be able to tell?
Back to the Predators game, Arber got into fisticuffs with a heavyweight and dominated him. Bell Centre DJ played a song for the Sheriff during his bout. Not surprisingly, it was this ...
Habs are flying to NY for a short road trip. They'll be facing the Isles on Saturday and the Rangers on Sunday.
For the Isles game, there will be a pre-game ceremony to honor Mike Bossy.
