It's the end of a remarkable week for this bustling metropolis, and many of us are quietly (and some not so quietly) giddy about our home team's recent success. Amazing the difference a week makes, but Friday is Friday. So let's give the work week a big ol' sloppy kiss goodbye and bring on the Friday Time Waster.
Like you, I'm ashamed and angry at the forehead sloping, knuckle dragging, mouth-breathing cretins who spoiled the city's celebration of the Habs game seven victory over the Penguins. I don't think fines and jail-time are enough for these slime weasels. They should be sentenced to ten years in Leafs nation.

As goobillions of litres of crude oil continues to spew into the gulf of Mexico, the so called 'experts' have brought in the greatest minds in broken undersea oil well science. Their solution, drop a giant metal 'vacuum head' down and suck it up. Unfortunately this idea didn't work, as the 'vacuum head' got clogged. Then they proposed lowering a second, smaller 'vacuum head', I guess it's like that one we use for cleaning under the seats of our cars. If this doesn't work, the 'experts' are suggesting forcibly injecting 'garbage' (such as tire fragments and golf balls) into the leaking pipe to clog it.
Since we've reached the point of ridiculous solutions to this problem, have they thought of submerging Red Green with six hundred rolls of duck tape?

Last weekend Tiger Woods pulled out of Players Championship after complaining of stiffness and pain in his neck. Which would make it the second time that an injury affected his play but the first time he's ever pulled out early. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

Speaking of lying-cheating bastards, NBC's morning darling Matt Lauer is apparently separated from his wife of 12 years. His Dutch model wife Annette Roque (I stole that line from Google news) claims Matty went 'wild' during the Vancouver games, I guess chasing Olympic bunnies. Lauer denies the stories of infidelity but acknowledges there have been rough patches in the marriage. The story broke through The National Enquirer, so we'll have to wait for a more credible news source before we can pass judgment. As soon as I hear from TMZ I'll let you know.

Food for thought. Here is an interesting look at some of the Canadiens players acquired during Bob Gainey's tenure as General Manager of the club:
Michael Cammalleri, acquired from the Calgary Flames.
The Flames failed to make the playoffs.
Brian Gionta, acquired from the New Jersey Devils.
The Devils lost in the first round.
Scott Gomez, acquired from the New York Rangers.
The Rangers failed to make the playoffs.
Hall Gill, acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Penguins eliminated in the second round.
Glen Metropolit, acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers, and formerly the Bruins...
Travis Moen, acquired from the San Jose Sharks...
Enjoy your weekend.
Go Habs, Go
