@sheed promised Newhook 10 crates of cod cheek from his shed, if Hooker scored tonight.

Pay up, b'y.

Since it's Saturday I ate pan fried cod cheeks again tonight and had Newhook over for supper and that's why he scored tonight b'y. He loves his pan fried cod cheeks and sweet mustard pickles.

Man, Slaf has become a beast along the boards.

I can feel the fear in their hearts

 

[Rapala]

Crap only Newhook has jump. What a boring period.
I guess I can live with Xhekaj and Newhook goals over the Pezetta and Belzile goals we were getting last season.

On a side note I'm fairly certain Garry Galley called someone...

Beautiful Pointe Claire. Love it.

I grew up there as well. Both Northview Elementary & Lindsay Place High are gone so I have no primary/secondary education anymore.

 

[Le Tricolore]

People are too hard on him. He was actually pretty good in the first couple of months this season too. His cap his is irrelevant to us and he still plays hard in front of the net. Yes of course he makes too much money but who cares?

That's how I feel. His contract may hurt the team in a couple of years when they're trying to compete, but for now it really doesn't matter. I doubt anyone would be too shocked if he finishes the contract on the LTIR anyway.

Hate's a hard thing to shake, once you've decided it. He is what he is, but it personally doesn't affect me as it does others it seems.

I don't hate Gally. I respect his career. He's just really frustrating at this point. No longer has stamina and no longer can shoot or pass.

I was a Delmar rat. Worst street in the West Island & proud of it.

What the blazes is up with the now you see them now you don't Images?

 

[SwiftyHab]

Can’t see the game. But listening in. Is Roy looking good?

 

[26Mats]

Armia triples his assist total on the season in 2 periods. Too bad he came into the game with only 1 assist all season.

 

[HabSgt]

Him & Newhook just scored a goal so YES!

Haha lived there a few years too. What a dump!

 

[McGees]

Hanafin and Markstrom outta CGY is bad news for Habs 1st from them.

You're allowed your opinions and can feel as you like. I get the frustration. I was just noting my own.

His contract is hard to swallow, and watching him now vs what he once was is depressing.

I've just washed my hands with it as he he ain't going anywhere.

I don't think he's as bad as he's made out to be, it's only in relation to his contract and former self that he truly sucks.

Jake not bad tonight

Sorry for not believing in you Jake

It's a HFBoards feature to stimulate your imagination.

He's the type of player you don't notice until you do. Which is actually good IMO.

I was there in the 70s & 80s.

Sorry about the mess.

 

[sheed36]

Sucks that pictures and gifs aren't showing up of late. To anyone who might know, is there some ongoing issue that HF is working on or is it just from high traffic?

Also is there a Photoshop thread hiding somewhere on this board for us to upload PS pictures and stuff to keep them in one thread and making them easy to find in the future?

Nah I was hard on Pleks for playing safe as milk, but still had some skill left, gally is now trying hard as ever but its all behind him now. As a little guy our bodies break down pretty badly pretending to be as tough as the big guys. He is really going to feel it in his 40's. But he has been taking some bad penalties trying to keep up or still be an agitator. On pace for 14 goals and about 28 points. I mean sure Decent for a bottom 6 guy, but not so much for a guy still on the PP regularly.

If he was on the 4th line as an "energy guy" no one complains but like breezeby who made 4.75 million, when you are signed as the top winger outside caulfield with a 6.5 cap and being paid 9 million next year!!!! it does matter to other guys, especially other guys on the team who look at effort/skill/pay. The youth don't want to 'pay their dues' not when they know their talent is far higher and you never know when your gally like play may come to be regular.

You only have so many years and I doubt a lot of managers will be like "sure this guys is pretty much accident prone for 3 seasons, but lets sign him to a huge very bad structured contract on the backend of his career. " AT least not going forward.

Look at all the other guys we "picked on" like DD or Bourque, DSP or whomever and those guys where not top paid player. Pay matters, and sorry but what have you done for me lately is also a thing.

Early 00s for me - three years in 505 Delmar. You should see what those apartments cost now
