why would i even take a chance that my bestest habs fan buddy would leave forever, you make my days with your silly posts day in day out! you bring sunshine to my days when it is rainy and cold outside, why sometimes i am feeling blue, i read some of your nonsense and i am in a happy place all over again! why would i risk losing that? HAHA! nice try, but if you wanna play that way, then my scapegoat team will surely have more points than yours! .

(is every scabs fan a chicken or what?)

GSG? Yes or No to the bet for 2 tics in the reds any game next season( or the jersey/beer bet if the first is to expensive for you) that the Leafs have more points than the scabs by the allstar break?

I will tell you what chicken man, being the bigger man, i will compromise with you, if you take my bet we will also do one for most points at the end of the season, but not for money, a gift certificate is fine of equal value to the prize of the first bet, i am assuming you dont have the balls to even take a chance you would have to parade down crescent with a leafs jersey on so equal value of 2 tics in the reds, which is what? $300-$400? in a gift certificate to a nice rest? hotel? store of anykind? you choose, as long as its not money, your on chicken man!!!!!!!!

Dont weasel out of it, i have plainly stated no cash, asking me to go against my principles is like me asking you not to wear your lil habs tatoos on your face and your little habs helmet holding 2 beers and straws before each game, something you just dont ask a man to stop doing. haha!

as they say the "balls" in your court O' ball less one put up or shut up, any faith in your little team for next year?


OK go ahead guys, do your best spin doctor routine to twist this some more, or be a man and take the bet GSG, you got what you wanted, one bet for my choosing, tics in the reds, and one for your choosing, gift certificates of equal value to 2 tics in the reds. whats the excuse gonna be this time , lemme guess "i dont want 2 bets", or "i said $500 worth" (both bets combined are more than $500, so that excuse is out), or "were losing price or halak probably so will have to wait til october to bet", or whatever else you can come up with to look scared.


LAST OFFER! i was man enough to compromise, so be man enough to take the bet or politely say no like a man and be done with it, i wont pick on you if you decline, but i hope you take both bets. if you lose one or both, o well, same here, i honor my bets, a few merb members can attest to that, i only hope you do as well.

You've already been exposed for what you are lg and as usual you won't admit the truth...so I have agreat idea. Please continue reading:

Since you like to bet (ha ha - that is, as long as you name the conditions), here's a bet I offer you that will serve several purposes:

You're a leafs fan, I'm a Wings fan, so what could be more simpler and what could make more sense than this:

I bet you that the Wings finish the next season (2010-2011) with more points than your hopeless leafs. I'd love to make the bet for THIS season but for obvious reasons (namely that the Wings have been ahead of your hopeless leafs ALL season long and are GUARANTEED to finish ahead of them, as are just about all the other teams in the league) you wouldn't bet on THIS season.

Now I could happily bet you money on this but I know you'd weasel out just like you did with GHG (twice at least!) and G1G, so I'll bet you something else - something that will benefit not only me when I win, but every other poster on the board (except for Holliday) also.

Here's the stake: loser leaves MERB. If the Wings finish next season (2010-2011) with fewer points than the pitiful leafs, I leave MERB and never post again. If however the Wings finish next season (2010-2011) with MORE points than your stinkin' leafs, YOU will pay your debt by leaving MERB forever.

Deal? Or will you find a way to pussy out of this one also just like you've done with GHG and G1G?

I only wish I'd offered you this bet at the start of the current season - it would have saved everyone a lot of annoyance!

 

[gohabsgo]

so equal value of 2 tics in the reds, which is what? $300-$400? in a gift certificate to a nice rest? hotel? store of anykind? you choose, as long as its not money, your on chicken man!!!!!!!!
.

for that amount in Mastercard or Visa gift cards, I'll take it.

[lgna69xxx]

how is that pussying out? it is a LAME bet like the poster. i dont know that the Leafs will have more points than the dead things next year, but i am confident in the Leafs having more than the scabs!.. it was a dumb bet, i dont take dumb bets, i make bets where the chance of winning is at least 50/50 or better, i can admit the wings probably wil have more points than the Leafs next season, i never said they were a better team than Detroit, but i do feel the Leafs will be better than Montreal next year. besides what the bet was for is stupid, i would miss joesy if in fact i won the bet HA!

Besides i only wanted one bet to begin with, but all your crying made me end up feeling sorry for you so now i have 2 bets!

nice excuse to pussy out ...

The Bets 4/5/10

Bet#1

Whomever has more points in the 2010/2011 season by the Allstar Break, between the Leafs (me, Lgna) and Habs (you, Gohabsgo), the loser must buy 2 seats anywhere in the reds for the game of the winners choosing sometime in the 2nd half of the season. (non playoff, and winner must give a few weeks notice in order to find tickets) (if tied, bet rolls over to the 2nd bet for either same amount in gift cards or tickets the following season) AGREED???


Bet#2

Whomever has more points in the 2010/2011 season by Seasons End, between the Leafs (me) and Habs (you), the loser must buy whatever amount the first bet was worth (whatever was ACTUAL DOLLAR amount paid for the tics in bet#1, not to exceed say $350 total?, if somehow you or i got free/discounted tics then it goes on the face value of the tics combined) in gift cards of winners choosing? AGREED??? if by season end we are tied with same amount of points, whomever won the season series wins, and if for some reason the season series is tied 3 games apiece,, whomever has the biggest goal differential will be declared the winner, AGREED???

put your money where your mouth is, and sign on the dotted line

..............................................................

if theres anything you see needs changing let me know, and nice doing business with you


PS. Both ghg and myself agreed in a pm that we both will give our word as to pay up in full instead of having a 3rd party hold the $.

I don’t have a problem with the second bet (as stated earlier, the payoff in Mastercard or Visa gift cards)

The problem with the first bet is potentially trying to find tickets to a game in the second half of the season at the all star break point of the year, especially for a high demand game (long after individual tickets for all games go on sale before the season starts). Here is my solution: two reds for the last game of the season (who ever the opponent is) that way it’s easier to secure those tickets when they put all games on sale (in September?).

Ideally, drop the pain in the ass first bet and make the second for $400 and leave it at that.

 

[lgna69xxx]

that blows the whole bet away from what the arguing was about in the first place tho, you want me to take your bet and i said fine if you take my original bet from last year, it is called the "Spirit of Compromise" , plus my original bet last years was for the Leafs to have more points by the break.

I have a scalper friend, and the most i ever paid for a seat anywhere in the reds was $200, and that was low reds, not prestige but low low, but usually it is arouund $150 per ticket and thats for top teams, in the higher reds.


I have compromised from and took on a 2nd bet here, YOUR BET, so it is your turn to compromise, trust me, you will be able to find ticks, seems you are thinking your gonna lose the first bet eh?

i dont know that the Leafs will have more points than the dead things next year

Exactly! You're a big talker but when you're asked to back it up you admit that the leafs aren't as good as the Wings.

You're still calling them "dead things" but you don't have the balls to bet that your pathetic leafs will beat them next year, so maybe you should finally shut up with the "dead things" crap and the other crap you spew, since you've now publicly admitted that you don't have faith that your cretinous leafs will do better than the Wings next year...despite the fact that for two years and over 2000 posts you've been bragging about how great Burkie is and how bright the leaf future is. You've been exposed once and for all lg!

What a copout - as expected. And for what it's worth, I wouldn't miss your posts one bit, which is why I was praying you'd take the bet and we'd be rid of your cowardly lies once and for all. But to no one's surprise, you ran like a scalded chicken just like those other times.

 

[joelcairo]

nice excuse to pussy out ...

Yeah he's very good at pussying out, lying, denying facts, avoiding the truth, and misinterpreting just about everything that's ever been written.

What he's NOT good at is picking a winning hockey team.

 

[joelcairo]

i dont take dumb bets, i make bets where the chance of winning is at least 50/50 or better,

Must agree with you here: It's stupid to take dumb bets.
But wait a minute - wasn't your original offer at the start of this season a dumb bet...as history has proven? Yeah I guess it was - maybe that's why you chickened out when GHG and G1G called you on it the first time.

 

[gohabsgo]

seems you are thinking your gonna lose the first bet eh?

Hardly. I have never bought tickets from a scalper and never will – it’s a complete waste of time and I couldn’t be bothered. My suggestion is an immaterial and minor alteration – the bet still involves tickets to a Habs game in the reds.

The above is my offer; take it or leave it, I'm getting tired of your silliness.

Merb Soap Opera

I'm going to stick my nose into this. Since Igna supported Joe T. when Merlot refused a wager with him (as Joe had stiffed me), I wouldn't bet on Igna's morals. I therefore suggest that if you end up betting anything significant, that you get a trusted third party to hold it or the cash equivalent.

 

[lgna69xxx]

Do i think the Leafs will have more points than the red wings next season, most likely not, i never said the leafs have a better team than the wings, i think they will in a year or 2 however. do i think the Leafs will have more points than the Habs next season? Yes, i do

In this post you say ticks for the last game of the season for the winner of the first bet, then you go on to say ideally drop that bet and just go with the second bet? which is it? i must admit i read that wrong earlier today when i replied shortly after, as i was running late and on my way out the door, but if you wanna make the first part of the bet for 2 reds for the last game of the season, thats fine with me, and then the second bet for the gift cards, thats also fine with me, as long as there are both bets, my Original bet, and the one i compromised to get you to actually go thru with the bet, which is your bet. if you agree i will reword the Bets and post again. then lets get back to hockey, deal?

Obviously you know nothing about that, as 2 yankees fans were having a lil fun at the expense of a red sox fan and nothing more, i didnt even know Joet when this bet took place so all i have is his version, your version, and merlots version, all of which really, i could care less.

GHG and i both agreed privately that we would trust one another on our word, and that is good enough for me, and he as well. besides if one or the other ever didnt come clean on the bet, i am sure neither would hear the end of it on here. but with me, theres nothing to worry about, and i dont think i have anytihng to worry about with ghg either, just because he is a habs fan doesnt mean he is a theif, and i have never not payed up any bet i have ever lost and dont plan to start now, one thing i like to think about true nhl hockey fans is that when it comes to this, they are honest and have integrity, just like the game itself.

Habs could have clinched a playoff birth last night, but once again choked against the Canes. Will Saturday's game against the Leafs be the decider if they make the playoffs? It very well could be if the Rangers beat the Flyers tonight at Madison Square Garden, with one more game to go on Sunday between these same two teams.

Go Rangers!! (even though i hate that team almost as much!)

 

[gohabsgo]

I think this is the scenario for the Habs to miss the playoffs:

• Rangers must win both games (4 points) with at least 1 OT win so Flyers get 1 point, and
• Bruins need at least one point in last two games, and
• Habs lose to Leafs on Saturday in regulation

 

[lgna69xxx]

6 Boston Bruins (idle) would clinch a playoff berth...

* if the New York Rangers lose in regulation to the Philadelphia Flyers

#7 Montreal Canadiens (idle) would clinch a playoff berth...

* if the New York Rangers lose (in regulation or overtime/shootout) to the Philadelphia Flyers

#8 Philadelphia Flyers would clinch a playoff berth...

* if they defeat the New York Rangers

 

[Doc Holliday]

Well, the Rangers finally played with passion last night & narrowly defeated the Flyers. This means that if Montreal doesn't beat the Leafs tonight (most Habs pundits predicted the Leafs would win), they better hope that Boston doesn't pick up a point in its final 2 games. They also better hope that the Rangers don't beat Philadelphia in overtime tomorrow afternoon. Or else.....out of the playoffs!

Anyways, it won't change much. Even if the Habs do once again sneak into the playoffs (remember last year, they snuck in on a technicality since they had finished tied for 8th with Florida), they'll likely be playing golf in two weeks. Which also means that Tomas Plekanec likely will have played his last game(s) with the Habs & will depart on July 1st to unrestricted free agency, meaning the Habs once again will have lost a key player for nothing. They'll also lose a few spare parts (e.g. M-A Bergeron, etc) to free agency. They'll also have to figure out who will be their goaltender of the future: Halak or Price. My money's on Price. The other will likely sign with another team as a restricted free agent during the off-season. Compensation to the Habs should be considerable. There's also a good chance that they'll trade the goalie's rights to another team for a couple of quality players and/or draft picks. Similar to what Boston did with Phil Kessel when they realized he didn't want to play with them anymore.

There's no way in hell that both Halak & Price will be back with the Habs next season. It's not just about money (the Habs don't have any), but mostly that both of them want to play on a regular basis. As for Plek, he'll likely sign a big contract elsewhere. He'll be overpaid, of course......by the way, where's he been in the past couple of months? The Habs, meanwhile, will have their fiscal hands tied because of big contracts owed to Scott Gomez, Mike Cammalleri & Brian Gionta. Where will they get the money to re-sign Andrei Markov at the end of next season?
