[Guiness time]

not sure where to ask this, but where can I purchase habs collectibles in the mtl area? looking for figurines and collectibles? Or any good sites to order from in Canada? I searched myself but hard to figure out what is the better places to buy from. Need to buy some x-mas gifts for some family members and maybe for myself

So anyway,

My neighbour from two houses down backed into my car that was parked on the street - twice.

Fortunately, my house is being renovated and the crew saw it happen. They informed me and my wife went over to work things out. The neighbour played dumb and said she'd pay for it....

But seriously, how lame do you have to be to not leave a note? So disappointed.

Quick question...who is a mod as far as Habs posters are concerned?

Quick question...who is a mod as far as Habs posters are concerned?

At the top of the thread list there should be buttons including one called moderator list.
Treb, Markovsknee, Lshap, montreal, donghabs, lafleursguy and LeTricolore.

Global mods (purple) and admins (dark blue) can mod any section as needed.

For some reason I was thinking about mascots. When Youppi! became the official mascot it’s history as a symbol of the Expos and the ties to MLB baseball in Montreal where celebrated.

Did the Habs not have a mascot named Tricolo at one point? Or was he just a figment of my imagination.

Tricolo was the mascot for the AHL team in the late 80s/ early 90s.
Before Cosmo there was Tricolo

It was Sherbrooke Canadiens!

It was Sherbrooke Canadiens!

Sherbrooke and Fredericton.

The stuff they did in Sherbrooke would not pass in the 2000's. Incredibly racist, but then people in other AHL towns were also bad on the French Canadian side.... so everyone was terrible?

Over the top stuff, even some air-humping moves. Not sure why I thought there was a connection with the big club. Those AHL days are crazy so much fighting, going to be a dementia pandemic from that alone.

Back then (and even in the early 2000s) you often had 300+ PIM guys.

The record is actually in 2004-2005 with 551 PIM in 71 games (7.8 PIM per game) by Brian McGrattan. Since 2005-2006, the top PIM is 334 by PL Letourneau-Leblond (which stands at 81st).

Since 2017, the total never went over 194 PIM (Alex Gallant).

We are seeing a recrudescence this year with Cody Mcleod having 79 PIM in 15 games.

Tech question here.

I can't come here on Google Chrome on my PC since yesterday evening (literally after the Habs game). Is anyone having the same problem?

Edit. lol f*** me. Turns out my google chrome changed my settings and brought in my old bookmarks. So the HF link was from the old forums

I'd agree, only because I work for the government and their websites are only optimized for IE.

I knew you worked for the government, but had no idea it was the Jean Chrétien government.

I think it's that a lot of the systems are built on very old Oracle/JAVA-something infrastructures that are so outdated they only work with IE - because it existed back then.

We even got a notice that our pay portal doesn't work well on Edge and that we have to keep using IE...

Yes, I have to use IE for one thing at work. Some other things work better on Edge, and others on Chrome. It's a mess.

IE is Infinity Edge for me. As a front-end dev, my brain has blocked anything Microsoft related when it comes to browsers
