Galley is a big time anti hab. Comes from his days playing for the Bruins and Sens.

As an aside ... not sure if mentioned already ... I happened to catch part of the second intermission. Kipper and Hirsch were blowing sunshine up the asses of Hoffman, Lazar, etc. Hoffman was waived a year and a half ago. 26 goals this year. Then they switch to Habs line up and with their expert analysis surmise that the right side of the Habs forward group has no goals. I guess the 23 Gallagher has this year is easy to forget.

I think they were referring to the fact that he voted NDP last election.

Yup. So was Jagr, going back to check if he was somehow the one who made Price fall. ---- Nice game overall. I love our top D pairing, same for the 3d pairing, but I'm not sold on Emelin and Petry together, though both can be terrific players. It's easy to forget how far Emelin has fallen... last year in the playoffs he was getting PP time, this season that's hard to imagine. Overall, I find it much easier to like our D when Gilbert isn't playing. Flynn and Mitchell, I'm not sold on them yet. I'd rather see Bournival and Malhotra in the lineup, to be honest. Not that they're bad players or anything, they just both remind me of Tom Pyatt or Ed Ronan: invisible and unproductive.

Get this tool off the air. I thought you might have been talking about the TVA Sports crew. They're iffy and make me miss RDS, and I know I'll miss them even more come playoff time (Habs playoffs will be on TVA only, no more RDS)

I remember one of them, game 1 or 2 of the final, and it was just a pass that the LA D deflected into their own net. So he doesn't get much credit there.

Didn't he (Ronan) beat out an icing that was critical? Maybe it was someone else. It points out that everyone has a role to play, maybe even Spelley.

So he doesn't get much credit there. maybe he should get credit for shooting, as opposed to this current bunch. Max not on the ice? what am I supposed to do with the puck?

I'm not a huge fan of the play-by-play announcer, but I don't think Patrick Lalime is that bad as colour commentator.

I've just accepted the fact that any Canadian broadcaster outside of Quebec is going to have contempt for any kind of Habs' success.

Galley was at his anti-habs best last night. I only caught bits and pieces of the game, damn near every time I heard him speak he had the slant and bias. Unfortunately, we'll have to put up with him all playoffs.
We could win the cup and the last words out of his mouth would be annoying in some way.

If the Habs swept every series and won the Cup I dont even think that would stop the hate. Just win the cup and let them suck on that. I hope they enjoy the taste.

I remember one of them, game 1 or 2 of the final, and it was just a pass that the LA D deflected into their own net. So he doesn't get much credit there. Scored one of the OT winners against Buffalo as well. Ronan scored the lone goal in the 4-1 loss in game 1, of the 1993 Finals. But what many don't remember, is that he had a role in the biggest goal of the 1993 Finals. Game 2, of the 1993 Finals is probably one of the best games I ever watched. It was a roller coaster ride, with end to end action, and Hrudey and Roy both stood on their heads. The first period, the Habs dominated, out shot the Kings something like 18-5, and got a 1-0 lead on Desjardins first goal of the game. The second period was a lot more even, and the Kings tied it up on a goal by Taylor. The Third period was one of those periods that you remember for a long time. I remember Roy stoning Taylor, and there was another instance where Taylor bumped into Roy and as Roy was falling down he absolutely robbed Sandstrom. The winking save. Conacher scored a little more than half way through the period to give the Kings a 2-1 lead. Taylor was involved in that goal too. Then a short while later, Blake creams Brunet with a blind side hip check when Brunet didn't even have the puck, brunet from the ice slashes Blake and gets 2 mins. One min later, Damphousse get a penalty for cross checking Gretzky. The only scoring chance on the 5 on 3 was a clear breakaway for Carbonneau on Hrudey, and Hrudey made the save. The Habs kill off the 5 on 3. With just over two minutes left, Leeman had a breakaway and Hrudey stopped him. The faceoff was deep in the zone. About 30 seconds later, Huddy flips the puck over the glass, and again the faceoff is deep in the zone. Brisebois skates to Damphousse and tells him something, a message from the bench, and Damphousse tells Fraser to measure McSorley's stick. The ensuring face off, with Roy on the bench, the Kings actually won. Kurri had the puck at the red line but couldn't poke it past the defenseman and Damphousse; Damphousse dumped it to the open right side and Desjardins beat the King to it and dumped it in. Of course, we got to it and Desjardins scored moments later. The American telecast at the time claimed the goal should not have counted because LeClair had a skate in the blue paint ... I don't think that was actually a rule back then. In the OT, we scored really quick, the second shift I believe. Ed Ronan skated it out of our zone after a scoring chance by the Kings, and head manned to Brunet. Brunet skated across the blueline dropped it to Desjardins who fired it wide, the puck was behind the net, and Brunet corralled it and passed it to Desjardins again who beat Heudey with Ronan distracting Hrudey in front who tried to tip it. We lose that game and we might not have won number 24, ..., looking back, so many of today's rules would have ruined that game

I was at that game, in the whites right behind the King's goal for 1st, 3rd and overtime ... and the stick measurement was in / near the corner just below us. Thanks for the excellent flashback!!!

I thought you might have been talking about the TVA Sports crew. They're iffy and make me miss RDS, and I know I'll miss them even more come playoff time (Habs playoffs will be on TVA only, no more RDS) What is it about TVA that you don't like? I'm not a huge fan of the play-by-play announcer, but I don't think Patrick Lalime is that bad as colour commentator. It has a lot to do with Renaud Lavoie, who I think of as a complete hack. His English is horrible, he has little to no intelligent commentary, is unable to say names other than in (bad) English. And I'm pretty sure Lavoie is the guy who asked, when Saku was diagnosed with cancer, what the hockey impact was... on the very first day when it was announced and clearly the hockey staff hadn't thought beyond Saku as a person at that point. Félix Séguin on play by play is decent at best. Lalime doesn't add much intelligent analysis, stutters and stumbles, and his French isn't as good as Marc Denis, or even Benoit Brunet. And Lalime often can't say names in French either. And overall, they've never gotten over that first hump of trying to make things look good rather than having something to actually say. And the "historic moment" when Pacioretty scored the first goal on TVA Sports (and they called it as such) just set the tone for the whole network: not much to say, but it's on THEIR network, and it's the very best (because, hey, they say so).
