Good one!!
Here's mine:
What do the Montreal Canadiens and the Titanic have in common?
They both look good until they hit the ice.
:lol:
WOW....Golden Knights are just wow.....6ème victoire against the Blues....that's something.....vraiment impressionnant. Malcolm a dû quitter le match en 3ème après avoir bloqué 37 des 38 tirs....souhaitons son retour rapidement....il a sa chance et fait une belle démonstration de son talent. Congrats to Galland ...he is doing a hell of good job....je connais une équipe qui n'aurait jamais dû le laisser partir.....je savais qu'il réussirait avec son groupe de jeunes.
Great organizations are always built from the top down. Always. The Golden Knights' success surprises me, but not really. The moment George McPhee and later Gerard Gallant were named as GM and coach i knew they wouldn't be a Mickey Mouse outfit and would play competitve hockey.
The day the likes of Brendan Shanahan, Lou Lamoriello, Mike Babcock and Mark Hunter joined the Leafs meant that bright days were ahead. These were all quality hockey men and most importantly quality individuals. The coaching and scouting staffs were revamped and the players who didn't fit in with the program were sent packing away in favor of younger and more talented players. Quality players, quality individuals.
Many have made fun of some of Lou Lamoriello's quirky team rules. Especially the one that no player will be allowed to have any facial hair. But surprising was the fact many players actually approve of the rule. Nazem Kadri for one was all for it and he mentioned that it shows there is order and organization around the team. And when i look around the league and especially at a team like the habs where you see the likes of Jordie Benn and Alex Galchenyuk their beards (especially in the case of Galchenyuk) their beards make them look like bums....like they haven't shaven for weeks and it makes you wonder if they aren't earning minimum wage and can't afford a razor. Their 'look' doesn't make them seem like they're proud to be Montreal Canadiens. It almost seems like they are disrespecting the jersey they're wearing. Put the Leafs next to the Habs and it's easy to tell which of the two teams appear to have more class and more pride.
The problem with the Habs didn't start with Marc Bergevin. It started the day Pierre Boivin was sent packing by owner Geoff Molson when he inserted himself as the team President.
Je pense que ca a commencé le soir ou Patrick Roy a dit à Ronald Corey: "C'était mon dernier match à Montréal"
Montreal Gazette To Marc Bergein: Look In The Mirror, Dude
I find this article to take a somewhat personal tack against Bergevin:

Not really sure how the way he dresses has anything to do with his job performance. The article seems steeped in sarcasm. Does the media up there dislike this dude?

It's easy to blame Michel Therrien since he was an easy target and he's no longer coach of the habs. Sure he wasn't perfect. No other coach is. But those who continue blaming Therrien fail to realize that Claude Julien has NOT performed better than Michel Therrien since he's re-joined the Habs.
The Habs problems start at the very top. If you want real changes you must decapitate the head.

Belle victoire des Leafs.....une belle lutte se dessine entre Toronto et Tampa Bay...2 belles machines de hockey. Dans l'Ouest..ouchhhhh ...je voyais les Oilers dans ma soupe mais force est d'admettre que ca ne regarde pas bien pour eux et en plus l'absence de Léon n'est rien pour aider..et Talbot n'a rien démontré de très glorieux à date. La porte est donc ouverte ....et à ma grande surprise quel rebondissement des Kings..wow...ca je ne l'avais pas vu venir...Kopitar-Brown sont en feu et Quick est un excellent gardien....autre belle machine de hockey......les Preds vont être dans la lutte aussi.....beaucoup de talents là aussi.
McDavid v. Crosby
Showdown in Pittsburgh tonight between Edmonton and Pittsburgh. What separates these two is not the playmaking ability but the athleticism. McDavid is on a different level than Crosby, or all the other young stars of the NHL. The NHL has not seen such athleticism from a top scorer. As soon as McDavid gets it in gear, watch out:

Meanwhile Elvis was singing again in Las Vegas last night:

4-2 win over Chicago and Vegas is now 7-1-1.

Imagine if Quebec would have wound up with that franchise instead. Imagine how it would have made the habs' season look even worse than it already is. But Vegas' success may also mean that the habs won't be too anxious to see a franchise pop up next door in QC.
Vegas has a good coach and I think that the GM did a nice job assembling that team. Their good start bodes well for attendance and their future.
Vegas is #1 in both the ESPN and Hockey News power rankings:
