TWO WAY YOU SAY?!?

Good morning ladies and germs. We have a rare pleasure this morning, in that you won’t have to listen to my incisive but often incoherent rant. Mateus was be gracing us with his incisive but often incoherent rant instead


g000000d morning to all my fellow MNers and w00ters alike!
the general here reporting to you from his trusty laptop and GLAD he put the studies aside last night!

lets start off by saying an honest truth about the habs and the leafs(i'll even let you guys and gals guess which is which haha):
"when you put that jersey on, magical things can happen."
"when you walk into this building, be ready for controversy"
now lets be honest, officiating? what officiating?!? both teams suffered some of the most ridiculous calls not to mention missed half o dozen calls...and as the game goes on im seriously starting to wonder which i prefer: a rugby version of hockey...or a futebol version of it....because right now, especially last night, we were in a grey zone that can't even be described in any way shape or form!
now that my steam pot has whistled its tune, lets move on to business and the real reason i called this post "two way you say?!?". we can call this a rivalry game or a heated hated battle, either way it was definatly a zone to zone, net to net encounter which had both sides seeing all colours and none at once! one can say that the first and the third were tightly contested affairs...but even then, how does one describe a 40 shots against and then explain how a team goes 1-7 with barely 10 shots on goal...in total! i mean honestly, its flabergasting to say the least how our beloved habs can be completly shoved aside and dominated when its 5 on 5 but take a man away and we play better?!? carbo...jarvis...what are you teaching these boys?

moving on to another two way: ryder vs kost!
the one is what id call now a veteran, a proven 30 goal scorer who can sure shock many all star goal tenders with his precise shot. the later we called a doubtful youngster, who seems to be a repeat of perezhogin...but lets be realistic ladies and gents: one is now a liability to our main attack line where as the other is making heads turn! and not just in the stands but on the ice as well! i can still picture him being shoved aside by gill and tucker alike...but there goes our dear AK-46 still skating, still hitting, still trying! and as he tried he was rewarded! a well timed opertunistic goal tapped into the top of an unocupied net and telling BG and the coaching staff that theres still more to come from the belarussians! ryder on the other hand...is in need of some home made habs videos 101, at the very least.

higgins vs chipchura!
two way at its best! both left everything on the ice everyshift and though neither came out of this one strong i have to say: chipchura is going to be a hab to remember someday! skill, confidence, leadership, defensive and offensive talent, son, i cant wait to see you with an A on that jersey! higgins: try as he may, nothing is going his way...but that doesnt stop the kid from trying! he's playing for the club he loves and is still willing to give his all even though hes going nowhere in the standings. people may not notice it, but it is the higgins's that bring teams stanley cups, and we know that when he gets it, he gets higgy with it!

on to markov...andrei...if your reading this...go buy a 649 ticket...please? give it to charity, to your kids, to the city, the team, concordia for all i care! but go buy yourself one because that was the RAREST performance ive seen from our #1 D-man and i hope i never see a repeat!

finally, last but not least, the two way player of the night: he faced rampaging leaves...net rushing defensemen...2 defensively liable tap in goals...a center of the hockey universe given goal(damn you galactus!)...a net(yes! crossbar, posts, netting and all!)...40 shots and i dare say the kitchen sink! and all el general can say is he grabbed that kitchen sink with two hands to steady it, skated to the cowbelled zebras and handed it back with a nod and a skate back. if anyone still thinks this kid is an over rated country loving nobody...they better think again because it doesnt matter wether its bob barker or drew carey: ladies and gentleman of the faithful of le blue-blanc-rouge, the price is right! come on down carey!

to conclude: price held the fort, those who had something to prove proved it, those who had something to owe still are in debt, MN dropped another 2 at least! and the beauties are out tonight for the habs won and the leafs lost.

el general over and out!


Well done General
