What should the new Montreal Canadiens name be??? The Montreal Tampons, because they only last one period and don't have a second string. The Battle Hymn of the Republic Quebecois (Sung to the Battle Hymn of the Republic) by Pundit Gainsay Mine eyes have seen the passing of the glory of the Habs. They'll miss the playoffs again this year Now isn't that too bad. They have always irritated me worse than a case of crabs. The truth goes marching on! Chorus Failure, Failure, Humiliation. Shameless, Shameless Degradation. For at least a generation and they won't win the Cup no more! The Habs have little talent and the future looks real bleak As an early tee-off time is what the Habs are sure to seek. Their play is certain to offend as they will surely reek. The truth goes marching on! Chorus Failure, Failure, Humiliation. Shameless, Shameless Degradation. For at least a generation and they won't win the Cup no more! The Habs will miss the playoffs and no banners will they unfurl. The Habs have little offense and their defence plays like girls. The way the Habs play hockey you are guaranteed to hurl. The truth goes marching on! Chorus Failure, Failure, Humiliation. Shameless, Shameless Degradation. For at least a generation and they won't win the Cup no more! Ron Corey has ruined the team and made them a big joke. The way that the team is coached you must wonder if they toke. They will surely miss the playoffs so they'll have no chance to choke. The truth goes marching on! Chorus Failure, Failure, Humiliation. Shameless, Shameless Degradation. For at least a generation and they won't win the Cup no more! Montreal are ankle-skaters and their powerplay is sad. The goalie is a real big sieve 1st pick is what they'll have. Behind the Sharks and Tampa Bay the Habs will surely lag. The truth goes marching on! Chorus Failure, Failure, Humiliation. Shameless, Shameless Degradation. For at least a generation and they won't win the Cup no more! One look at the Habs roster and their opponents start to drool. What their fans will have to watch this year is really awfully cruel. Anyone who thinks they're good this year Is nothing but a FOOL. The truth goes marching on! Chorus Failure, Failure, Humiliation. Shameless, Shameless Degradation. For at least a generation and they won't win the Cup no more! The Habs Anthem (sung to the Mickey Mouse Club song) By [email protected] Who's the leader of the club thats crappy as can be? R-O-N A-L-D C-O-R-E-Y Roy is gone Playoffs? You're WRONG! Forever will they hoist NO banners high, high, high So come along if you smoked a bong and cheer your Habs along... R-O-N A-L-D C-O-R-E-Y ( )__( ) ( ) HABS The Edmonton Oilers have proven that Oil and Stanley Cup contenders are both diminishing resources in the Edmonton area. With this theme in mind I submit the following possible name changes for th Oilers to better reflect the nature of their play this season. Edmonton Broilers...they're cooked in only 60 minutes. Edmonton Soilers...like a babies diaper they stink. Edmonton Shorelers...they're all coasters. Edmonton Shoalers...buried deep but can be seen briefly at high tide. Edmonton Spoilers...they're past they're due date. Gone rotten. Edmonton Doilyers...they play very daintily. Edmonton Dollers...you can dress them up like real hockey players but you know its still pretend. Edmonton Lawyers...they're case is pretty weak and all lawyers suck. Edmonton Whorelers...they put out 2 points to everyone. Edmonton Voyeurlers...they like to watch the other teams play for the big one. Edmonton Coilers...they're just going around in circles. Edmonton Goylers...they play very 'Gentile' in their own end. Edmonton Ships Ahoylers...on a slow boat to nowhere. Edmonton Boilers...easily lanced puss-ies. Edmonton Lowlers...where to find them in the standings. Edmonton Whoa-lers...slowing down. Edmonton Joylers...yeah, maybe when hell freezes over. What's the difference between a plane full of business travellers and a plane full of Montreal Canadiens fans? When the engines on the plane full of business travellers stop so does the whining sound. Why did the Toronto Maple Leafs try to sign Kurt Cobain? They heard he was a killer on the face offs. What do former president Richard Nixon and the Detroit Red Wings have in common? They're both dead and were buried in California! In court the other day there was a case regarding the custody of a small child. The judge asked the boy, "do you want to live with your mother?" He replied, "No I don't want to live with her because she beats me!". The judge then asked, "Do you want to live with your father?" The boy stated, "No he beats me too." Finally the judge asked, "where do you want to live?" The child responded, "I want to live with the Montreal Canadiens!". The judge asked, "Why do you want to live with the Montreal Canadiens?" The boy exclaimed, "Because the Montreal Canadiens don't beat anybody!" How do Russians celebrate a Stanley Cup victory? They go into town and get smashed. The MacArena is the new sports stadium in San Jose. heeeeeey Macarena Top Reasons Hockey is Better Than Sex It's legal to play hockey professionally. The puck is always hard. Protective equipment is reusable and you don't even have to wash it. It lasts a full hour. You know you're finished when the buzzer sounds. Your parents cheer when you score. A two-on-one or three-on-one is not uncommon. Periods only last 20 minutes. You can count on it at least twice a week. A score board keeps track of how many times you score. You can tell your friends about it afterwards. Two women were at a bar. One looked at the other and said, "You know, 80 percent of all men think the best way to end an argument is to make love." "Well," said the other woman," that will certainly revolutionize the game of hockey!" This girl goes into a tattoo parlor and asks, "I'm such a big fan of Wayne Gretzky that I'd like you to do a tattoo of his face on my inner thigh." "Sure", the owner replies. So he begins work and after about 2 hours he looks up and says, "There...how's that?" The girl angrily looks back and says, "That doesn't look at all like Wayne Gretzky! What do you take me for!! I'm not paying for that!" The owner, not wanting to lose this customer, politely responds. "Listen, tell you what.....I'll do another one on your other thigh, and if you're not satisfied, you can have them both for free!!" The girl agrees and another 2 hours pass. "Now what do you think?", asks the owner. Flabbergasted, the girl screams back, "You're ripping me off!! No way does that even closely resemble Wayne Gretzky!! What kind of business are you running here??" The owner, now getting quite pissed responds, "Listen, we'll grab some innocent bystander off the street and let him be the judge. If he recognizes Wayne, then you pay!!" She agreed and they went out into the street and dragged in the first guy they could find. The owner asks him, "Sir, please look at these tattoos and tell me what hockey player they look like." The bystander begins inspecting both tattoos, After about five minutes and several "hmmmms....", he stands up and says, "I don't know who the wingers are, but the center is Lanny Macdonald!!" An assistant manager at a supermarket is working in produce one day, when a customer walks up and says "Can I buy a half a head of lettuce?" The Asst. Mgr. says "I'll ask the boss" and walks over to talk to him. Unknown is that the customer has followed. The AM says to the boss "Some a$$hole wants to buy half a head of lettuce" then noticing the customer, quickly adds "And this customer would like to buy the other half." After this gets resolved, the boss says to the AM "Say, you're pretty quick on your feet! I'd like you to run one of my stores in Minnesota." The AM says "Minnesota? There're only hockey players and hookers in Minnesota!" The boss says "Careful, my wife is from Minnesota." And the AM quickly replies "Really? What position did she play?" Andy came to work one day, limping something awful. One of his co-workers, Josh, noticed and asked Andy what happened. Andy replied, "Oh, nothing. It's just an old hockey injury that acts up once in a while." Josh, "Gee, I never knew you played hockey." Andy, "No I don't. I hurt it last year when I lost $100 on the Stanley Cup Play-Offs. I put my foot through the television." What did Graham James tell the hockey scouts who asked about Sheldon Kennedy? He said he sucked. What did Sheldon Kennedy say when asked what it was like having Graham James as his coach. He said James was a real pain in the ass to play for. Why did Graham James turn down an offer to leave Swift Current to coach in the NHL? He didn't want to leave any players behind. This is a chain letter. Do not break the chain or the National Hockey League will send Bob Probert to your house and break your face... Hello. My name is Gary Bettman and I am commissioner of a struggling hockey empire based in the village of New York in a remote nation called the United States of America (and, for now, in some parts of a border country called Canada, although we are trying to fix that). Survival is not easy in my empire. Often it gets very cold outside, forcing its officers to flee to warmer places like Hawaii or Southern Florida to hold their winter survival meetings. Soon, they will run out of such places in their own country and be forced to migrate to foreign places like the Costa del Sol. Our plight grows more desperate by the day. Just this week, for instance, during a caviar break following my report that our empire's revenues have trebled in the '90s to about $14 billion because of expansion fees and several other forms of highway robbery that do not actually involve the use of a gun, it was noted that the governments of our teams in the Canadian colonies are still refusing to grant their team tax privileges and other pork barrel sustenance not available to the common folk. Frankly, we are half way to our wits' end trying to convince them to open their hearts and wallets so that our empire can continue to grow and prosper without forcing us to open our own. How can we make them understand our plight? Why can they not understand that while revenues do range from $60-70 million US for the wealthier outposts, the poorer are getting by on $30-40 million? Desperate, we turn to you for help. Please send this letter to five of your friends and ask each of them to send us $10 (US funds, no coins or stamps), then send copies to five of THEIR friends with instructions to do the same thing. Or, if you really want to help, place a chess board on your web page and invite them to play a game. First person puts a drawing of a $1 bill on the first square, then sends the actual money to us. Then each person in turn doubles the number of dollars in the previous square. Won't that be fun? We beg you not to turn your back on our people -- not because it will hurt us, but because dreadful things could happen to you. Only a few years ago, someone broke one of our earlier chains in Winnipeg, which we understand is in Canada. Within months, their outpost was blown clear to Arizona, leaving their people huddled against an October blizzard on the corner of Portage and Main uttering piteous cries -- "TEEE-MU! TEE-MU!" -- and lamenting the way they'd ignored the warnings from another Canadian place called Ke-Bec. Or something. That legend is retold each year as our people gather round the liqueur table at our annual gatherings: the way Quebec people watched one team disappear into Colorado, and for their sins have seen their other team of Flying Frenchmen populated by foreigners and doomed to Finnish in the cellar. Do not let this happen to you. Do not break the chain. Pick five of your richest friends and add links to our survival fund, named after one of our patron saints. Send all contributions to Fund Our Scam To Expand Revenue (FOSTER), NHL, New York. No receipts will be issued so that we can save pennies otherwise wasted on stamps. Hurry. We're running out of pate. |
