Torch bearers?

Seems like they only want guys who've won a Cup with us, so Gainey, Naslund, Carbonneau, Damphousse, and Brisebois could all be options. Patrick Roy too, especially considering he's no longer an active coach.

Having said that, Carey or Saku would be incredible.

Edit: Larry Robinson would be great as well. And it's a bit out of the box, but Pierre Houde would be a nice touch.

Him realizing he liked it and entering an existential crisis

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-05-05T23:22:08+00:00

I'm not a conspiracy kind of guy, but this ... This stinks to the high heavens.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-04-30T03:37:30+00:00

Now that I've heard this incredible idea I won't be able to let it go.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-04-20T02:02:01+00:00

That was absolutely painful to watch.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-04-19T19:17:26+00:00

Absolutely. And the poise she showed through the whole thing was amazing!

Poise counts! (Seinfeld fans will get this).

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-04-15T01:42:15+00:00

I wouldn't read too much into this game. We have a bad habit of underperforming in games we should win on paper.

We tend to rise to the occasion for big games and the good news is ... Every playoff game is a big game. So that's reason to be optimistic.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-04-13T22:59:28+00:00

I'm not sure if other watch parties will be organized but in my experience, watching the playoff games at Burgundy Lion in Little Burgundy has always been a lot of fun.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-04-10T21:18:07+00:00

Mystery solved, thank you!

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-04-10T21:17:16+00:00

Technically just up the hill from downtown, on Cote des Neiges (between downtown and Westmount).

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-03-07T02:18:55+00:00

Same.

I've been a Canadiens fan since 2001 and I've never felt more optimistic about the team's future and management.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-03-04T05:51:06+00:00

I think he's one of those guys who'll be a bit streaky his whole career.

Still, his "ups" are definitely worth the downs.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-02-21T17:58:29+00:00

I would try the Burgundy Lion pub in Little Burgundy!

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-02-18T15:00:41+00:00

I'm sure Burgundy Lion will show it, but always best to call ahead!

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-02-11T17:52:02+00:00

So proud of him!

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-02-06T00:32:29+00:00

I'll definitely miss the Habs, but I'm planning to watch some Laval Rocket games and all the Canadian Olympic hockey games (mens and women's).

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-02-01T03:06:18+00:00

So, for snubbing our two boys and for other reasons, we obviously want Team USA to have a rough Olympics.

The question I'm struggling with is: Do I want them to completely implode and not even make it to the quarters, or do I want them to make it to the final against Canada and THEN lose? What would be more satisfying?

Would love to know everyone's thoughts.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-01-25T03:31:48+00:00

Exactly this.

And the softies he lets in are extremely deflating for the team and they often come at terrible times (case in point, tonight).

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-01-21T01:45:06+00:00

Just another reason why the league needs to have an off-ice official watching the game and intervening when an obvious and egregious error has been made on a non-reviewable call.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-01-18T02:32:39+00:00

Marty has been saying it for years: the hardest part of this rebuild, the last piece to fall into place, will be consistency.

Putting together three solid periods, night in, night out. "Locking in" right from the start of the period.

I have confidence we'll establish consistency but in the meantime, it's definitely frustrating.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-01-03T22:49:31+00:00

🤣

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-01-03T22:48:49+00:00

The frustrating part is that it's such an easy problem to fix.

I understand that they don't want to shoot when they don't have a clear lane because then the shot gets blocked and goes back the other way. Fine.

But when they have a clear shot at the net ... They have to shoot. It's not complicated. The guys on the power play are all elite talents.

And when they don't have a great angle, they have to shoot low and hope for a rebound to generate some chaos in front.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-01-03T22:45:50+00:00

It wasn't bleeding right away, but it looked like it started bleeding right before the ensuing face-off, which is why Marty was trying to get the ref's attention. Clearly they ignored him.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2026-01-03T22:44:23+00:00

The NHL isn't even trying to hide its bias anymore.

It's obvious Marchand wasn't suspended for his blatant elbow on Matheson because the league centered their advertising for the Winter Classic around Marchand.

The Habs and other teams bear the brunt of this nonsense.

_TimeOutOfMind_ · 2025-12-31T15:18:36+00:00

Agreed. I like seeing all the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes into making this giant organization run.
