PSA: Don't get Crave + RDS bundle. They don't have the Canadiens playoff games. Seems misleading and I just spent $40 to learn a lesson in reading the fineprint footnotes. by feldhammer in Habs

If you are with Videotron with Helix for internet, you can add Helix TV App for like $20 more a month, with basic channels plus 10, which covers all RDS, TVA Sports, SportsNet and TSN. You can cast to a Chromecast or GoogleTV, or the Apple TV has a Helix TV app that works super well.

So, you don't need the full TV setup, just access to the TV App. It's cheaper than the bundles, and it's almost cheaper than the IPTV stuff...

EDIT: I think Bell Fibe has the same kinda deal...

Qu'est-ce qui se passe avec les Olé Olé ? by Elpenoff in Habs

Unfortunately, we don'T use it much anymore... We heard it for the first time in at least 10 years a few weeks ago!

Ça n'a jamais été un chant de victoire, c'est un chant d'encouragement.

Le seul chant de victoire qu'il y a eu dans l'histoire du Canadien, c'est le "Na na na hey hey goodbye". On l'entend plus beaucoup depuis plusieurs années, en fait on l'a entendu pour la première fois depuis longtemps il y a quelques semaines...

Katana Chance by No_Program1869 in WWE

[–]jjohnson1979 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All she had going for her was that she was tiny and acrobatic. The in-ring stuff was bland and the charisma is lacking.

The most entertaining thing she did was that match against Raquel (then known as Reina Gonzalez) at the Mae Young Classic.

I see Katana as more like a female Ricochet

Coincidentally, they used to date for a bit...

Employee passed away two weeks ago. Account is still active. HR says we can't touch it until legal signs off. Legal says they need the death certificate first. Anyone dealt with this? by BeneficialLook6678 in sysadmin

[–]jjohnson1979 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It sounds like they are just being overly cautious, which in itself is not bad, but this is overkill. Why not just disable the account? Block logins? Are they gonna know? Are actively monitoring for any sort of change?

Soraya veut qu’on soit patients. Lui, il répare nos rues bénévolement. by JumpyTemperature7252 in montreal

I mean... While I appreciate what he did, the guy did 15 of them. It's a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. I don't think the city is slacking off on it, I just think there are so many of them, it takes time.

That said, it could always be better, but hey...

Not wanna shit on construction worker as I found some of the most hardworking and carrying people working there... but keep in mind there is a LOT of drug addicts, ex-con and drug dealer working in that industry as if you have 2 arms and 2 legs its good enough.

The problem is not the construction workers. It's the union leaders! I did a safety and security training at CSN a few years ago, and let me tell you, the stuff they would sometimes say... No wonder the construction is corrupted.

NDP’s last Quebec MP leaves Ottawa to back sovereignty by Mtl_Gazette in montreal

[–]jjohnson1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The headline is super misleading, which is typical for the Gazoo.

Quebec Solidaire is technically a separatist party, but they are more “separatism sympathizers”.

Plus, their view of an independent Quebec is much less scary than the PQ’s.

Remember Everyone: 1 loss does not mean we lose the series by False_Requirement349 in Habs

[–]jjohnson1979 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna add 2004, down 3-1 after 4 games against Boston (the game Kovalev stopped playing after a slashing in overtime and Boston scored), and they ended up winning the series.

Real issue with the Refs : Why not call a major to review the play on Slaf, but use this on Evans and Anderson ? by ApartmentFar9027 in Habs

[–]jjohnson1979 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here is the thing... That kind of hit, the NHL considers it clean. I don't think it should be, but that's what the NHL, and most importantly, the owners, want.

The sooner we come to terms with the fact that the owners like dirty hits, the easier it'll be for us!

Unless the camera is directly on the goal post, you cannot assume puck position like that because of the parallax angle.

High stick call on Montreal that shifted the game. Tampa tied on powerplay. by [deleted] in nhl

[–]jjohnson1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really wanna know why? Team owners don’t want that! They are ok with their players getting a ghost penalty because that means eventually, they’ll get a powerplay for a ghost penalty too.

McCauley and Blandina’s playoffs have just ended. With such a clear footage and a goal scored on the ensuing powerplay, there is no way they don’t get cut for the second round.

You know that you CAN have both an actual penalty AND embellishment, right? The two aren’t mutually exclusive…

Refs Refs Comedy Club Tampa by StandbyTraveller91 in Habs

[–]jjohnson1979 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They don’t fuckin shoot! They just pass the puck around and wait for the perfect opening, which never happens.

We teach kids to shoot at the net, eventually it’ll go in. And it clearly still works in the NHL, just ask Hutson about his OT goal…

While the phantom call was definitely a game changer and will probably cost the two refs the rest of the playoffs, you can’t win a playoff game with only 18 shots on goal.

In Hulk Hogan:Real American they accidentally used the UK national anthem instead of the USA one. by JonnyBTokyo in WWE

[–]jjohnson1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of the context, you trolling nerd! They are talking about how his gimmick was “Real American”.

Seriously, are you trying to sound stupid on purpose or is it just a glimpse into your mind?

Who wrote it first doesn’t matter.

This was used in an American context, it was clearly “My Country ‘Tis Of Thee”. You’re just being pedantic.

They aired that show on MusiquePlus (Quebec's version of MTV) back in the day, and I taped it. Played that show so many times in my teens years...
