OK, OK, already. Name: Dis Age: none of your freakin' business  Alright, 43  Location: to be detemined. Favourite Hab: Who else; Doug Gilmour (I live in his brother's old house) Favourite non-Hab: there are no others, just Habs and Hab's wannabes. Well then, how about Paul Henderson. All-time favourite Hab: Jacques "Coco" Lemaire, Pete Mahovlich a very close second. I always wanted that Lemaire slapshot. He was one of the best two-way centres I've ever seen play. Very few players had Pete Mahovlich's moves back in the 70's. It depressed me when he was traded to Pittsburgh. Favourite Habs game: New Year's Eve '75, Central Red Army vs the Canadiens. It was the most lopsided tie in hockey history; 3-3. I was 14 years old at the time and I don't think I've ever be more pumped for a Habs game, the playoffs included. Changes I'd like to see right now: A new gentlemen's club in my town ... Oh, hockey ... right ... how about Larry Robinson behind the bench  Hopes and Dreams: to be a Playboy centerfold by my 25th birthday  ... Oh, hockey ... right ... how about paying a reasonable price to see a game live? Here's your sticky, Viper. Cheers. |

Name: PTH
Age: Still on the quarter-century mark for a few weeks
Gender: Male
Location: Quebec City
Occupation: Bored Civil Servant and still theoretically trying to get my damned masters degree
Favorite Hab: Markov, Théodore and Koivu
Favorite Non-Hab: Tommy Salo, Doug Weight, Mario Lemieux
All time Favorite Hab: Carbonneau
All time Favorite player: Carbonneau - tougher call though. Roy.... Naslund, Lebeau, I all liked. Hell, anyone from the 93 Cup winning team is good.
Changes you like to see right NOW: No more 5'10-6' soft defensively weak 40 point scorers, not locking the team into all these long-term deals for big money that kill all flexibility and condemn all kids to the minors even before camp starts
Future Changes: give peace a chance, man..... and more hot chicks at games. Komisarek accidentally steps on Audette and we free up a roster spot for a kid on Koivu's wing. And we bring back Asham.
Hope and Dream: Me, a small island, plenty of young, attractive women. And Habs win the Cup. (but the Island comes first). And the Leafs go bankrupt and move to Portland. Or even better, to some hick town in the mid-west.

Future Changes: Three-words: Fat Free Donuts
Hope and Dream: "Starting defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens, number 5, Alejandro Mustafa..."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmm....let me help ya Mustafa.
To be sung with a Glen Campbell’s twang……………….
He looks in the mirror and stares at the pouch that wasn't there yesterday
And thinks of the day he was young and could of made it
What would the GM’s think if they saw him this way?
He pecks at his keyboard as something comes into his mind
Slowly starts dreaming rememb'ring his boyhood
And all of the promise he had waiting in line
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday Mustafa
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day
An everyday Mustafa who gave up the good dream for work
The photograph album he takes from the closet and slowly turns the page
And woefully stares at the first pair of skates
The first one he had now withered with age
He closes his eyes and touches the shirt that suddenly disappears
And just for the moment he's wearing the colors
That burned in his minds back so many years
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday Mustafa
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day
An everyday Mustafa who gave up the good dream to eat
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday Mustafa
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day
An everyday Mustafa who gave up the good life to work
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday Mustafa
(FADE TO BLACK……)
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day
An everyday Mustafa...
