Lord knows how Rob Brown is on that list, let alone so high up on it. Other than, being on Mario Lemieux's line that
Have finally taken the plunge after browsing this site for almost a year. The 4 habs have really hit it...funny and representative of the tiresome 3 ring circus that the Mats Sundin sweepstakes have become.
Ronin - welcome! Things are kind of slow right now but really pick up once the season starts. You may want to invest in a flak jacket just to be on the safe side:-)
The Original 24 Cups
I don't know what crack you guys are smoking, but if you all think Chantal is hot, you must be smoking something. Granted, she's not bad eye candy, but if the RDS olympic coverage wants to have EVERY guy watching, I would put Annie Pelletier in there. I believe she has done some spots for them before.
Now that's a hot girl working for the camera. AND she has olympic expierience.
Jim-out.
I BELIEVE!
The Morning Skate : 2 Hawk's goalies , 1 net , Brylin vs Sutter and Mats Mania continues .. by Stu Hackel .. NY Times ..... http://slapshot.blogs.nytimes.com/
I must confess that I'm becoming increasingly surprised at how angry some of the blogs and comments are becoming regarding Sundin's delayed decision. I can understand getting our hopes up because Sundin would be a great addition to the team. But he has never wavered in asserting that he would not make a decision until sometime in August...all other deadlines are meaningless. In no logical way is Sundin hurting the Habs. If he signs with us, then great...we have yet another great offensive player to add to what was already a good offence. But its not like we've missed out on other players waiting for Sundin's decision, for the very reason that there was really not that much on the market this summer worth pursuing. Rolston was never coming here, nor was Hossa. The only defencemen that would be significant upgrades were Campbell and Redden, both of whom were far too costly for Montreal, and Stuart, who was never leaving Detroit. After that, there was nothing on the market that would be a significant upgrade over what Montreal already has on its roster or in the system.
The fact that Bob Gainey has $7 million dollars (or whatever the figure is) of cap money does not mean he has to spend it. I would much rather go through the season with that money unspent (or saved for the trade deadline) than be forced into making tough decisions next summer when Motnreal faces a bevy of players to be re-signed.
NM49 - I never really liked Janis Joplin. I realize she's a legend but she's just not my cup of tea. Same goes for Pavel Bure.
The Original 24 Cups
24 - That was Monday Aug-4 , today it's Mamas and the Papas , Dylan and Mary Wells. Steve i think you clicked on the wrong "read more" or missed it.
Bryan - I got the right page now - Elvis, the Beatles, and Dylan were the legends of my time. I saw Bob Dylan live at Massey Hall with the Band (Ronnie Hawkins' old Toronto bar band). First half of the set was Dylan alone on acoustic guitar and the second set was Dylan electrified. It was a very rough ride for Dylan that night - he opened a door that could never be closed again. I'm proud to say that I own every piece of vinyl ever recoded by these three tremendous talents.
I would mention that we are just about to get hit with another thunderstorm but I've been censored on that point so I'll let it slide:-)
The Original 24 Cups
Steve - That Dylan concert must be the same tour that i went to at the Old Forum , great concert. it's almost five AM now we are getting the Tstorms.
The Band as Ronnie Hawkins' old Toronto bar band? Oh come on they were so much more than that... Ever seen The Last Waltz?
Prof - mixed signals here, I think you have have misinterpreted what I was saying. I never implied anything about The Band in terms of being just a bar band. I only threw that in to help with the Toronto timeline (sort of like David Clayton Thomas before Blood, Sweat, and Tears). I know a fair bit about the Band and their development - have been a big fan right from the start.
The Original 24 Cups
Sorry about that I guess I just misread the intent... glad to hear you're a fan though! When you put it all into context, to think that Canadians played such a large role in one of music's most important eras with Bob Dylan is pretty impressive, and their solo stuff is amazing. There's just no better driving song than Up On Cripple Creek...
The Business Montrealw as one of my favourite nightclubs in the 80's!
"We will win the Cup only with Carey Price in the nets"
Chantal Machabée is so hot!
Oooh those French Canadian girls I partied with back in my single days during the mid 80's in Montreal!
"We will win the Cup only with Carey Price in the nets"
chantal, chantal, love that name.
You guys are too picky. Chantal is no Martine Gaillard but she is still easy on the eyes.
They are thinking with the wrong head again.

Chantal is nice looking enough but by the way they always make a point to show her from the chest up leads me to believe shes getting a bit wide downstairs.
Mike Boone mentioned that Chantal would be an added viewing bonus when I signed up for RDS Habs coverage. That's good enough for me.
The Original 24 Cups
Or that she has a nice chest.
I always side with a "glass-half-full" view in these matters.
Or a bra fully-full.

Am I alone in thinking that she's really no that hot at all? Years (and pounds) ago, yes. But now? Meeeeeh.
_____________________________________________________
Yes, I can help you find the Holy Grail!
She certainly doesn't do it for me, and the sports networks' attempt at throwing random "hot" girls on air is lame.
Are you saying that the directors should stay away from shots of strippers behind the Habs bench?
