Things overheard at the NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft.

Well, the first ever NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft is in the books, and Habs Laughs was there with a few mics of our own! This is what we were able to catch from the festivities.

Carey Price: Last year he took a clapper from inside the circle…almost killed me. Hit the glass before I moved….so happy it missed my head.

Tim Thomas: Wow.

Carey Price: Yeah…

Tim Thomas (to David Backes): Do you know who this kid is?

David Backes: Shia Labeouf?

Paul Statsny: Really? Two first rounders?

Phil Kessel: Yep

Paul Statsny: And Boston is…

Phil Kessel: Still good without me yes.

Paul Stastny: Damn….enjoy the car dude.

Phil Kessel: *Sigh* Thanks.

Henrik Sedin: Everyone is expecting us to do some kind of Olsen Twins thing and switch places.

Henrik Sedin: You’re not Henrik, I’m Henrik.

Daniel Sedin: Oh yeah.

Dustin Byfuglien: Awww…. Hey by the way, I still haven’t gotten my cup ring.

Jonathan Toews: I wouldn’t know anything about that.

---

James Duthie: So how does it feel to be an all-star again?

Martin Havlat: It’s best I not say or do anything at risk of my agent going on a twitter rampage.

James Duthie:….fair enough.

Actual Odds on Saku Koivu's return

Sometimes you just can't make comedy up...sometimes you have to find it in unexpected places...sometimes you have to wait for someone to tell you that something is funny....and that is what happened today.

Credit Matthew Ross, Radio Host on Game Points on the Team 990 (Sundays 6pm-8pm and Tuesdays 11pm-1am, also home of the Tweet Ten) for sending me this info.

You know that people these days will bet on anything. From the color of the post-game Gatorade dump to how many goals Martin Brodeur will let in within a 5 minute span...no rock is left overturned.

Leave it to www.bodog.ca to make up some odds on the return of Saku Koivu tonight. Take a look at the lines below.

Will Saku Koivu (ANA) score a goal?
Yes +325 ( or 13/4)
No -450 ( or 2/9)

Will Saku Koivu (ANA) record a point?
Yes +140 (or 7/5)
No -170 (or 10/17)

Will Saku Koivu (ANA) be the first star of the Game?
Yes -150 (or 2/3)
No +110 (or 11/10)

What this is saying is that in their opinion Saku Koivu is favored to be the First Star of the game, but not favored at all to record a point in it.

Only in Montreal.

Go Habs Go.

Welcome back Saku.

I Found Pierre Gauthier's Blackberry...Again!

Habs Laughs is back from vacation and guess what, I found Pierre Gauthier’s BlackBerry again!

Actual excerpts from Pierre Gauthier’s Blackberry. (disclaimer: previous sentence may or may not be false…it’s false)

BBM Conversation with PIN 672MF2134 Colin Campbell

Pierre Gauthier~Canadiens GM!: Dude, what the hell?

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Sigh, hello.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: Ok I have an actual issue, but I can’t let that slide…why did you actually type ‘sigh’?

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Because you’re boring.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: I’m boring?

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Yeah Bob…you’re boring.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: I’m not Bob Gainey.

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: What?

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: Can you read?

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Selectively.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: I’m not Bob Gainey, I took over for him a while ago.

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Well I’ll be. Well anyways, what’s the issue?

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: Your suspension of Mike Cammalleri.

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Ah yeah…slashed a rookie or something.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: Are you serious? Did you even see what happened?

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Yeah I saw, he slashed one of the Neidermayers.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: My god.

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Anyways, the suspension stands, Greg said so.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: I’m sorry what?

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: My son told me that Cammalleri didn’t willingly turn over the puck when they played against each other last season or something like that and I’ve been just waiting for an opportunity to take him out.

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: Are you seri-

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: Shit! I just deleted the convo, can you repeat what you just said?

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: Nope!

Pierre Gauthier~Undefeated!: Rats.

Colin Campbell~Head shot count-0: no no…Bruins. 2010-2011 Northeast division champs!

Hey Max, just want to let you know that you’ve been traded.

Text from 514-404-0404-Max Laps

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Text to 514-404-0404-Max Laps

I’m serious.

Text from 514-404-0404-Max Laps

Stop texting me in English

Text to 514-404-0404-Max Laps

That’s part of the problem…we don’t care what language you speak…we’re moving on, you’re not living up to our expectations.

Text from 514-404-0404-Max Laps

You can’t trade me! I’m Maxime Lapierre! I’m the only connection the fans have to a French Canadian hero!

Text to 514-404-0404-Max Laps

Yeah, the self entitlement thing isn’t very attractive either. Besides Darche does twice what you do and doesn’t flop after every hit to boot.

Text from 514-404-0404-Max Laps

Oh come on…I’ll get a degree! The University of Phoenix takes anyone!

Text to 514-404-0404-Max Laps

Sorry Max, it’s done.

Text from 514-404-0404-Max Laps

Where am I going?
