I am humiliated. Last night's game was embarrassing to watch. A SIX MINUTE POWER PLAY! But I don't want to harp on a game that was tedious to watch. I think the only reason I kept it on the television was because I don't know what else to watch. Suggestions? Are there sitcoms any more? If so, what's good? What I do want to talk about is Pierre Gauthier and how fearful we should be that he is the one in charge right now.
My post title is crass…I know. Just note that I could have gone further. I play in a head to head fantasy hockey league. At this point, there’s been enough match-ups to know who the strong team and the weak teams are. When I get matched up against a weaker team, it’s pretty much guaranteed my team will win. But I guess that’s why it’s Fantasy Hockey, because last night’s reality taught me that when the Habs play a weaker team nothing is guranteed.
In the last decade of the 18th century, the French people were ready to revolt. They were hungry and tired of the absolute monarchy that ruled them. When bread prices soared, Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France supposedly proclaimed “Well let them eat cake”. When Pierre Gauthier fired Perry Pearn last night, that’s what he told the Habs fan base. He wasn’t going to give us the bread we so craved and needed, instead he offered an off the cuff firing, hoping it would appease the masses. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled with the win last night. THRILLED! Watching a hockey game was actually an enjoyable experience. I didn’t have angry texts going back and forth between my friends, and heck, I might even walk down to Cage aux Sports for some free wings today. It’s just unfortunate that the win might mask the insult that Gauthier threw at...
