Montreal Canadiens Journalists: Our local heroes

chmafia — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:53:30 +0000

The follow up to my first post covering the people who cover the Canadiens has started. But before we go along and start the journalism, we must first identify these people we call our heroes. I thought I would post up their pic, but surprisingly their pictures are hard to find on the net. Another reason I want to post all their pics is to visually show the number of people who cover the Habs, people whose opinions have more airtime than the team performance itself. These individuals truly are superstars and deserve to be treated like superstars! As I cannot afford a cartoonist, I decided to duplicate my heroes and bring them to life in the form of Nintendo Wii characters. These individuals work for all types of different media and their work is mostly based on rumors and perceptions. Since they spend most of their time rating the Habs on their performance, we will do the same with them, based on the the following criteria.

Click on these Pictures and rate them solely based on your opinion or perceptions, no need to worry about facts, they don’t mind it.

Go ahead and vote!

The Habs Make the Playoffs: All Aboard the Bandwagon

chmafia — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 05:07:19 +0000

The Montreal Canadiens organization is very classy and is stopping its train for all the people who gave up on the team to jump back on the bandwagon. We should see the flags that have disappeared back on the cars pretty soon. The good thing is that these people will blend in unnoticed because they can always say that the flag got too dirty in the winter, or broke off or their dog ate it. Regardless, the Canadiens made it to the playoffs. Maybe not from the backdoor, but it sure wasn’t from the front door; let’s just call it the side door, or even the chimney like Santa. The centennial season turned out to be somewhat disastrous. The media took this team and made it into a mockery, orchestrated by LaPresse, or cyberpresse.ca. Otherwise known as the shit disturbers of the team led by the Bowel movement king himself, Réjean Tremblay, followed by the over 80 journalists and other idiots who cover the Canadiens like TMZ covers Britney Spears. I wouldn’t be surprised if I see a picture of Tom Kostopoulos and his genitalia while getting out of his car one day…

As a celebration of the habs making the playoffs, we will be covering not the Canadiens, but the more than 80 pseudo-journalists covering the habs. You know, the ones who all talk and scream at the same time on pretty much all the channels after a hockey game? It’s pretty much Quebec’s definition of late night shows: different people talking about the the same thing, in a similar setting where the only different is the shape of the table and chairs.

Are The Habs Improving?

Do you think the Montreal Canadiens are improving their game lately? Has Carey Price finally stopped popping bottles at the clubs and bringing women home? Was it wise to throw Carbonneau out?

The Pope Blesses Montreal Canadiens Fans

Saro G. — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:45:35 +0000

On a tour in Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.

As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing Montreal Canadiens jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark’s side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Leafs fan from the water. Then using baseball bats, the three heroes in red beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.

Immediately, the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. “I give you my blessing for your brave actions,” he told them. “I heard that there was some bitter hatred between Leafs and Habs fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the truth.”

As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies: “Who was that?”

“It was the Pope,” one replied. “He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God’s wisdom.”

“Well,” the harpooner said, “he may have access to God’s wisdom, but he doesn’t know shit about shark fishing… how’s the bait holding up?”

Coach Carbonneau Fired

It’s just too bad that it came to this, but props to Gainey for taking the tough decision. Carbo is a great guy but it had come to a point where he was taking the wrong coaching decisions and digging himself in a bigger whole, mainly because the players had given up on him. Looking at Various reports, we can conclude that Carbo would not win any awards for communication skills… Don Lever, the coach of the Bulldogs (the Canadiens farm Team) is coming to Montreal to asssist Gainey. The question is, can he be the next coach? even if he is not bilingual? If so, Gainey would once again take the tough decision as I can only imagine how the French media would react with an anglo coach…
