Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ SENS, Friday 7pm

The Suzuki reverse hit on Kleven last game summed up the season series. Sens we’re willing, they just weren’t ready. Suzuki exploded on Kleven like a spring

I think the Sens right now want to win a game their way and be dominant and not the way they have won all season which was just to do enough to get 2 points - so not sure if they win tonight. The next few games are exorcise the demon games. To me they don’t matter, but it would be nice to win bs the Habs.
Given the way the Senators are playing lately, we will lose this game IF the goaltenders do not play well.
 
What's all this talk about this guy????

I know how the Winnipeg Blue Bombers got their name.

"After the Grey Cup victory in 1935, The Winnipeg Tribune sports writer Vince Leah called the team the "Blue Bombers of Western football". Until then, the team had no official nickname, but they quickly began using "Winnipeg Blue Bombers". Journalist Jim Coleman wrote that the name came at a time when boxer Joe Louis had international success with his similar nickname, the Brown Bomber.<a href="Winnipeg Blue Bombers - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>16<span>]</span></a>"

I played hockey and soccer for teams and leagues organized by "Uncle Vince"!

 
I looked up the history of the name and Habs.

There is a lot of misinformation on the web nowadays because of AI.

I have a big hockey book that was written before the internet existed, and it says that the Canadiens were formed because a group of chefs at the Habitant factory would play hockey with dented cans of soup and old brooms. Their owner, who was named Canmore Adiens entered them in the 1896 Stanley Cup because it was basically a beer league back then. The rest was history.

In honour of Canmore Adiens, they shorted then name to the Canadiens. The H in the logo is supposed to mean Habitant soup.

It's also the reason why Brian Campbell got the nickname Soupy. He is the great great great granchild of Canmore Adiens. So people naturally called him Soupy. I always never understood that nickname for him until I learned that on Twitter.

There is a lot of misinformation online, so you have to be careful. I apologize if there are any typos in that, I typed it quickly because of how excited I am that Ridley Greig's official twitter announced that we are bringing over a top prospect from Russia named Methkov.

Stahp it....
 
I did further searches on the Internet and found more references that indicate the name of the Habs for the Montreal Canadians team is more likely because of the reference to Les Habitants than to pea soup. However, I did hear of the pea soup reference in conversation with others over many years; however, some of those references were to the association of pea soup with Quebecers. not the hockey team. I don't have any old hockey books to refer to.
