Long time no see, Hockey fans.
Habs Killer (and everyone else killer) Timmy Thomas made headlines this week by snubbing Barack Obama at the White house for their visit with the big man.
Word is that he missed the party because of his political views...wrong!
I have the Tweet Ten (credit to Matthew Ross for the name)Tim Thomas Excuses for snubbing POTUS.
10. I have never paid my taxes.
9. My Skinnard cover band had a gig that night.
8. I couldn't get someone at the border to cover my shift.
7. I waited at 1602 Pennsilvania avenue for like 5 hours!
6. I was on my way but my Hummer only gets 5 miles to the galon.
5. I didn't want to break my lunch date with Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin.
4. What, and miss Dr. Oz?
3. Zdeno Chara sneezed on me and I wound up in Kansas!
2. I thought we were meeting Osama!
1. Nah I'm just kidding, I knew it was Obama, I'm just a douche!

The All Former Habs Team
The Montreal Canadiens are without a doubt the most storied franchise in the National Hockey League. They boast an almost unreachable 24 Stanley Cups, a myriad of Hall Of Famers and of course, Scott Gomez.
Despite all of the success that the Canadiens have experienced over recent years the current generation of Montreal Canadiens fans have nothing too insane to celebrate about. The majority of Habs talk these days circles around who the Habs have compared to who the Habs used to have. It’s no secret that the Habs have stunted some players development over the years, players might have been self-entitled Europeans, misunderstood French Canadians or even misunderstood rest –of- Canadians.
Habs fans have undoubtedly spent countless drunken rants going over the players that were terrible on the Habs, were traded for nothing, and then went on to have success with their new team.
You’ve heard of the “All Habs Team” where experts have put together a team including the best Habs of all time…well, I did the research, I scoured the internets, and I put together the “All Former Habs Team”
I chose this team based on success with the Canadiens VS. success with new team, what the team got for said player and basic availability and since the list could go on and on and on I’m doing this post-lockout style….here we go folks.
Centers:
1st Line: Mikhail Grabovksi-Toronto Maple Leafs: The Habs let Grabovski go for a 2nd round pick that ended up being traded for Robert Lang. His deportation to Toronto was due to a combination of a sense of self entitlement combined with the fact that there was simply no room for him. He earns first line center honours because he has grown up, found his scoring touch…and did it all while playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
2nd Line: Mike Ribeiro-Dallas Stars: While he may miss the snow in Montreal he certainly hasn’t missed a beat in Dallas. Bottom line, he turned into the player we all wanted him to become in Montreal. What’s Janne Niinimaa doing these days?
3rd Line: Saku Koivu-Anaheim Ducks: I have no idea why the Habs let him go. Screw you Scott Gomez.
4th Line: Maxime Lapierre-Vancouver Canucks: How many of you wished he was still on the team during the Boston series?
Honourable Mentions: Tommy Pyatt-Tampa Bay Lightning, Jeff Halpern-Washington Capitals, Glen Metropolit, Switzerland. Mike Johnson,-TSN. Brian Smolinski-Wherabouts Unknown. Dominic Moore-Tampa Bay Lightning.
Wingers:
1st Line:
Michael Ryder-Dallas Stars: Ryder was the worst 30 goal scorer the Habs ever had, on top of this…he just won a cup with the Bruins. First liner for sure.
Guillaume Latendresse-Minnesota Wild: He was supposed to be the next big thing…he was…in terms of pants size.
2nd Line:
Sergei Kostitsyn-Nashville Predators: The return is now absolutely zero and he’s putting up very solid numbers with the predators. This one stings based on the fact that his brother is still on the team.
Alex Tanguay-Calgary Flames: I’d rather have Cammalleri anyways.
3rd Line:
Chris Higgins-Vancouver Canucks: Remember when he said he was going to score 40 goals? Ah Memories. New York and Florida couldn’t figure him out. Vancouver managed to turn him into a solid energy forward with scoring upside.
Matt D’Agostini-St. Louis Blues: He just scored his 3rd of the season in OT for the Blue last night. How’s Aaron Palushaj doing?
4th Line:
Tom Kostopoulos-Calgary Flames: High octane, high energy, high last name word content.
A Habs team wouldn’t be a Habs team without a non-scoring center playing the wing. One of my honourable mentions at Center will fill this role.
Honourable Mentions: Alex Kovalev-Space. Benoit Pouliot-Boston Bruins. Georges Laraque-Politics.
Defense:
1st Pairing:
Mark Streit-New York Islanders: Don’t you wish they still had him? Captaining the
Islanders right now.
Ryan McDonaugh-New York Rangers: He earns top pairing status because of what they got in return. Big time ouch.
2nd Pairing:
Roman Hamrlik-Washington Capitals: Enjoy that cup, Roman.
James Wisniewski-Columbus Blue Jackets: He’ll be great in Columbus, just hope he doesn’t…blow it *ba dum tss*
3rd Pairing:
Mike Komisarek-Toronto Maple Leafs: This is a jokes blog after all.
Ron Hainsey-Winnipeg Jets: Barely a Hab but could have been a solid reliable defenseman who would have probably been traded for nothing.
Honourable Mentions: Brent Sopel-Russia. Francis Bouillon-Nashville Predators. Paul Mara-Free Agent. Marc-Andre Bergeron-Tampa Bay Lightning. Ryan O’Byrn-Colorado Avalanche. Etc.
Goaltenders
Starting Goalie:
Jaroslav Halak-St. Louis Blues: While he isn’t having the stellar career most thought he would he is definitely the reason the Habs experienced their best showing since 1993…which a conference finals appearance, in case anyone forgot.
Backup Goalie:
Jose Theodore-Florida Panthers: Another man who misses the Montreal winters. He wont the Hart and Vezina in the same year. That’s ridiculous.
Honourable Mentions: Alex Auld-Ottawa Senators. Mathieu Garon-Tampa Bay Lightning. Cedric Desjardins-Colorado Avalanche. Cristobal Huet-France? Yann Danis-Edmonton Oilers.
With all of this amazing talent available, here is what the lineup would look like.
All Former Habs Team:
Latendresse-Grabovski-Ryder
Tanguay-Ribeiro-Kostitsyn
Higgins-Koivu-D’Agostini
Halpern-Lapierre-Kostopoulos
Streit-McDonaugh
Hamrlik-Wisniewski
Hainsey-Komisarek
Halak
Theodore
Now the question remains, Habs Laughs readers: Are they a playoff team?

Probable Scenes From the 2011 NHL Entry Draft
Well, the NHL draft is tomorrow night and if Twitter doesn’t spoil the whole thing we should be in for a treat.
GMs have been actually earning their pay (I’m looking at you, Paul Holmgren) by exploding the trade market wide open on Friday afternoon (One way to avoid a lockout: make the cap ceiling so damn high that everyone is happy). The draft will be just as it has been the past few years, with TSN making is seem like every player is way better than they actually are (unless your name is Stephen Stamkos) and with every team mysteriously having the name of the player they select on their jersey seconds after they announce the kid’s name.
I am not a psychic, but I can make predictions, keep reading if you want to see some probably scenes from tomorrow night’s NHL draft.
----
Brian Burke: Oh hey there Bryan, what’s up?
Bryan Murray: Oh Um Hi Brian, nothing much.
Brian Burke: Nooothing, hey you know what I just realised? We have the same first name!
Bryan Murray: Oh yeah, except my name is spelled with a ‘Y’ and yours is with an ‘I’
Brian Burke: Well then I guess that’s ‘Y’ you’re such a great dude!
Bryan Murray: hahahaha! You know Brian, you’re a pretty good guy.
Brian Burke: Well thanks, hey, by the way...who are you drafting?
Brian Murray: Well I was going to dra-WAIT A MINUTE! I won’t fall for that again!
Brian Burke: Damn, I’ll get you Bryan! Who the hell spells ‘Brian’ with a ‘Y’ anways!?
Later on...
Brian Burke: With the 25th pick in the 2011 entry draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs are proud to select...whoever the Ottawa Senators are going to take with their next pick.
Bryan Murray: OH COME ON!
----
Gary Bettman: We have a trade to announce.
The crowd gets excited.
Gary Bettman: The Colorado Avalan-
*From the crowd* Bob McKenzie: I tweeted that like, 20 minutes ago.
Gary Bettman: Oh, um...well The Da-
Bob McKenzie: That one too.
Gary Bettman: Jesus! How about...the Anah-
Eklund: Even I tweeted that.
Gary Bettman: F*Beep*ck Twitter.
Eklund: It was an E5!
-----
Peter Chiarelli: So, why are you here again?
Zdeno Chara: Protection.
Peter Chiarelli: I don’t understand.
Zdeno Chara: You insist to bring cup with you everywhere, owners want me to be bodyguard.
Peter Chiarelli looks behind him at the Stanley cup, which has a leash around it.
Peter Chiarelli: That seems fair, what’s with that thing?
Zdeno shifts to the left revealing a stanchion propped up against a wall.
Zdeno Chara: Weapon of choice.
Peter Chiarelli: Ah.
Mike Gillis: Got any Sedins?
Glen Sather: You’re the only one who has Sedins, go fish.
Mike Gillis: Damn.
Jim Rutherford: Hey Glen, got any Staals?

Jim Rutherford: I got Jordan! FISH UPON MY WISH, AND A SET! 4 Staals!
Ray Shero: Wait didn’t I have a Staal? You cheated!
All: F*beep*ck you Ray.
------
Paul Holmgren: So we’re all set, Brian Boucher and Aaron Asham for the first overall pick.
Steve Tambellini: Hmm, I don’t know...and isn’t Asham in Pittsburgh?
Paul Holmgren: You need a goalie, and Boucher is a goalie.
Steve Tambellini: Well, I can’t argue with that logic. I just think the 1st overall pick is worth more than him.
Paul Holmgren: *waves his hand* You WILL trade me the first overall pick.
Steve Tambellini: I WILL TRADE YOU THE FIRST OVERALL PICK.
Paul Holmgren: Eeeexcellent.
Pierre Gauthier: So let me get this straight, you can make a trade...even without your team sustaining a massive injury to your star player, OR because your token French Canadian has started to suck and you need a new one?
Mike Gillis: Yes.
Pierre Gauthier: Well I’ll be!
---------------
Ken Holland: I don’t know, it just happens.
Garth Snow: Just happens you say? Well, it sounds to me like you won’t be needing picks for round 1 through 5.
Ken Holland: No, we’re going to keep them.
Garth Snow: But come onnn I got burnt by Nabokoovvvv, my best player is Matt Moulssoooon. Please? I’ll trade Streit! He’s Swedish...or something.
Ken Holland: Swiss.

Pierre McGuire: I don’t know if you know this, but um...I generally manage the Montreal Canadiens.
Kevin Cheveldayoff: I know, it says so on the sign you’re holding.
Pierre Gauthier: How did that get there? Anyways, I want to shoot a little offer your way, get your feet wet with the big boys.
Kevin Cheveldayoff: Are you trying to push Scott Gomez on me?
Pierre Gauthier: No!
Kevin Cheveldayoff: Because everyone keeps telling me you’re going to do that and I should run away.
Pierre Gauthier: Who said that? Yzerman? He’s a kidder!
Kevin Cheveldayoff: Yzerman was one, Bowman, Niewendyk, Fletcher, Maloney, Armstrong..
Pierre Gauthier: Umm..
Kevin Cheveldayoff: McFee, Sherman, Lombardi, Feaster, Lamouriello, Regier...
Pierre Gauthier: er..
Kevin Cheveldayoff: And Burke.
Pierre Gauthier: Wel...thank you for your time Kevin.

James Duthie: Well this is a surprise! We are getting information that Sidney Crosby will be personally selecting the next pick for the Pittsburgh Penguins! Looks like he’s healing nicely from his massive concussion!
Sidney Crosby: With the next pick, the Pittsbin Pengoons are proud to select, from the Bradnor Sneak Fiends in the Oh Ache Elle, Habana Shabanahabadoo.

Carey Price-The Most Interesting Man in the NHL
Not much can be said about the soft spoken goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens, but he has led a very, very, very interesting life.

He is not the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ isn’t this good at Hockey.
His glove side is a black hole for Hockey pucks.
When cows see him on a horse, they tie themselves up.
Picasso rose from the dead to design him a new mask.
He has never made a routine save.
He wrote the lyrics to the Big Mac jingle.
His post-win poses can be seen from space.
Cabbies pay him for the privilege to drive him around.
The triple low five prevents the universe from exploding
He invented the Knucklepuck.
PK Subban does not have 2 younger brothers, he cloned PK Subban...and then cloned PK Subban’s clone.
He did not kill Osama Bin Laden, because everyone expected him to.
He persuaded Alexei Yemelin to come to North America by sending him a picture of himself with his arms crossed.
He hates Puck Bunnies, but loves Puck Alpacas.
Mark Zuckerberg is still waiting for him to accept his friend request.
He convinced the Penguins to lose their series so that Matt Cooke had no chance of playing another game this season.
He has seen the future and 1967 is still a thing there too.
He knows he is in the Matrix.
He convinced Chris Bosh to go to the Miami Heat, just so everyone would stop caring about Chris Bosh
The Montreal Impact are named after his Johnson.
He putts with a pool cue.
He has never written an autobiography, but he has written several manualbiographies.
He knew about Lando the moment he laid eyes on him.
He owns a time share with Barak Obama, Steve Jobs, and The Dalai Lama...on The Moon.
He can spell Schwarzenegger, but he won’t.
Carey Price: I don’t always fight, but when I do, I prefer Tim Thomas
