Habslogs: Habs Eyes on the Prize | Habs Inside/Out
Cheers to any and all visitors to the game thread last night and tonight. I know these end-of-season, last place games can be hard to get up for, but we can practice using the site tools for when the games shall matter again (They will matter again one day, right?). And of course, while our season is essentially done, we I have those Litter Box Cats to think about.
I assume the Isles won't wear the retro thirds tonight. I like Trevor Smith, but I don't like seeing #77 in that color without it reading TURGEON above it.

Showed the Nadal-Del Potro match right up until 7:08. We’re lucky we got any feed!

They went right up to faceoff before switching over. You should the comments on Point Blank. Some cleansing is required.

Ha, that’s awesome. 30th place, handful of games left, and there’s a near riot — you can’t say these fans don’t care.

… like watching the NCAA hockey regionals on ESPN and hoping they don’t change it for World Ping Pong.

Wow! Now that would be worth missing the opening minutes of the game for … (shhhh).
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
TSN gets the best of both worlds for them
They get to rip the Isles, and they get to spell out doom scenarios for the Habs if they lose.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Which Isles are they going to rip? Bentivoglio? Callahan? Smith? Hillen? Park?
“I tell ya, Bob, that Blake Comeau is not playing like the fifth most experienced forward on the Isles roster tonight.”

I know. Nobody specific (yet). More sticking to the standard “lowly Islanders” story line, while also admitting they’ve played well in the final third.
“Josh Bailey is just not where he needs to be at this stage of his career.” (kidding)
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
So far so good. Those Carolina Hur-lers.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Speaking of which, there are truly too many games on tonight that I want to follow. System overload.
… and then when my wife comes home and sees what I’m up to … glad I put new straw in the doghouse.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
True. That might get a better reaction, though.

Maguire on Weight teaching the kids:
I know it’s the always boisterous Maguire, but he is directing his ravings toward praising just how much encouragement and instruction Weight is giving to Bailey, Comeau, Nielsen et al. right now.

Ack, weak call for Benteviglio's first NHL stat
Rookie-on-Kovalev respect call from HansNFranz.

Habs up 1-0
Ugh. Dodged a bullet when they missed the first open net. This one for Koivu: no problem.
Witt jumps on his back, a tad bit after the bus has left.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Dammit Comeau
Bad retaliatory penalty. I sense he has that ticked off undisciplined streak in him. I like the fire, but pick your spots, young Jedi.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Crap! Habs up 2-0
Just bad penalty after bad penalty (Jackman this time)
Schneider blasts from the point, may have hit Martinek’s stick.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
End of 1st: 2-0 Habs
Period ends with Nielsen and Lapierre chirping at each other on the bench.
Well, maybe that will be some excitement.
Off to tour the league during intermission…
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
"clapper"
Duthie just called what I know as a soft slapshot as “a clapper.” Huh.
And Ruutu ran Lundqvist, but did not succeed. 1-1 in Carolina.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Okay...
I almost had a stroke with Cablevision not airing the pre-game the way they are supposed to. I am now sitting here with wine attempting to calm down.
Hi!! How are you??

Hi!
I’m good. I have the TSN feed, so they alternately say the Islanders aren’t good and Montreal is doomed if they lose.
And I’m surfing around the other games tonight.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
If Islanders get 1st pick...
Ferraro: “Tavares”
MacKenzie: [slips in gratuitous Kansas City joke]: “Hedman”
Dreger: “Tavares.” (Sell tickets, etc.)
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Indeed. We’re taking dumb penalties. They never win when I need them to help other teams. Surprisingly, it’s my biggest complaint with them this season.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
cool
wish I could do that… I’m stuck with Dolan-suck-o-vision.
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
well
Can you blame them. The call ups are wondering where the hell they are.
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
They didn’t really “close the Blogbox” tonight, did they?
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Wow. This strikes me as not a minor issue. I mean, I know when they actually have major media coverage they need to bend over for it, but … you guys provide relentless coverage of the team.
Just seems like, in Year 2, it should not be a “unless we need the space” issue anymore.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Imagine what would happen if they were in the playoffs.

ha
The email I received said they would need it for overflow media.
WE were never contacted to say they DDN’T need it.
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
okay then
Maybe it’ sNOT a problem that the blog box is closed.
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
WHY?
Did Gordon send him out to do that?
BAD MOVE
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
Um
This game is deteriorating just a tad.
I sort of expected one more outright stinker along the way; I didn’t expect it tonight (probably because of my own hopes of downing the Habs).
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Hilbert hurt?
So says Maguire, but he’s still on the bench.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
but
they played last night and they have two call ups that haven’t been up before.
and no Okposo or Streit.
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
I know, I know. But the Habs are fragile, and the Isles really tested the Caps last night.
But yeah, missing your two best players isn’t exactly a “keys to victory.”
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Danno just said...
This game is just bad, bad and bad…
and Wrecker looked actually SCARED of laroque
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
Yeah that was weird — but I think Laracque was playing mind games a bit. His smiling and taunting was a bit over the top, because fighters do that wait-and-set thing all the time. He played it up to mess with the rookie’s head.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
In other words, I don’t think Rechlicz was scared, he was being careful — which a guy is allowed to do when facing a legend — and Georges played it up.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Damn, I just rewound and watched it again, and I totally think that’s what happened — the only guy backing up the whole time was Laraque! He was the one gliding backwards, while also saying “Come and get me.”
Tool.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Hey, the Tambellini shot appears!
Well there’s something to smile about.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
yep
good for jiffy jeff!

Carolina up again, 2-1
So there’s that … which is nice.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
I’d still like to know how all these montreal fans got there on a thursday night. Don’t any of them WORK?
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
I think every game day is a holiday in Montreal.
That or it’s still winter up there and they need an escape.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
End of 2nd: 4-1 (yikes)
Almost gave up another one there at the end.
Turn the tables and storm a three-goal comeback? Not likely.
This may be it for me: Have a feeling I will be pulled by other forces before the 3rd starts.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Understandable… this is pretty damn boring… and I have a since full of dishes laughing at me.
www.7thwoman.blogspot.com Updated almost as often as PointBlank, but not quite.
I wish all the Habs fans
Would stop standing up and waving shit trying to be seen on TV …
… and just watch the damn game. Nobody can tell who you are on TV, you just look like the fool trying to get on TV.

Fight: Weight vs. Metropolit
My god, that man wants a new contract!
