dear carey price

i would like to apologize on the behalf of the city of montreal and its fans. tonight, our team the canadiens were swept from the playoffs by a strong and deserving boston bruins team. i whole heartedly, with the utmost compassion and respect, support you. most importantly, i just want you to know you are not to blame and did not deserve the treatment you had received tonight. this series has brought out the worst in this city, and i hope very much you don't take it to heart. you are a talented and exciting goalie, with a long career ahead of you, full of success no doubt. in my opinion, you have brought so much excitement back to this hockey city, reminiscent of the patrick roy era. but i am sorry you had to be baptized in such a fiery arena. it is unfair that you are the focus of this failed year. i hope you had watched the conclusion of hockey night in canada, as ron maclean and co. analyzed the break down of this year's performance and attributed it to an internal conspiracy. im sure you have a better understanding of this, perhaps in a more personal level, and know things that the fans of the city do not, things that can affect a players performance. i would like to reiterate and emphasize that you're a great goalie, carey. you are not to blame. you have no quality defense system, you are only 20 years old, your gm is clueless, and you're playing for the single most hockey crazed city in the world. it's not your fault.

carey price, i believe in you.

i support carey price.

if i had money...




you know how we laugh at our parents for wearing bell bottoms and platforms back in their day, it'll be the same when my kids will laugh at me when they see me with buckles on my sneakers... represent!

game 2

good job sergei...


i blame this loss on sergie kostitsyn. his slashing penalty opened the flood gates of bruin momentum. i hate his penalties. the game's blowout of a score is gainey's fault. made significant line changes and yet no game plan changes. habs have no answer for the bruins forechecking pressure. and gahdam, complete a passing sequence, fuck! watch mighty ducks 1 and practice passing with an egg!

3:22

soft hands.


p.s. good job carey. soooo impressed. halak time!

car ad makes me fruity

pay attention to car commercials much? you know which inc. has the tightest ad game?

LINCOLN.


their latest ads are musically in touch and do the frign job. i have no clue how unique the cars are technically, but the accompanying tracks sell the cars' aesthetics like gangbusters.

this first one speaks for itself...

daft punk. can't go wrong.

this next one i remember over winter cause i remember humming/whistling this while skating...

cat power cover of ground control. frign catchy.

this one is major in my books. spent quite some time hunting this down online. just saw this the other night and its been in my head. there's something about this song (original) that i remember long ago as a lil kid. simpler times. innocent times. the good times. straight up, this is frign danceable!

shiny toy guns cover of major tom.

here's the full song. hoyea! finger snapping and hip dipping!

4...3...2...1...

dont be surprised to see me rollin in a lincoln mkz in the future.
the rear/trunk lights are... aggressive. niiice.
awww, the power of commercials...
click here for the official high quality commercials.

the real question...

came across this just last night...

lower tuition fees? or lower drinking age? hmmm....
i <3 mtl

nhl playoffs: round 1

EAST:
boston bruins (1) vs. montreal canadiens (8): i got habs taking it in 7 games. obviously. cause they're coooooool.
washington capitals (2) vs. new york rangers (7): i like the caps, but theodore is horrible. new york will take this one.
new jersey devils (3) vs. carolina hurricanes (6): devils will take this one easy. jersey is frign solid on both ends of the rink.
pittsburgh penguins (4) vs. philadelphia flyers (5): i like the flyers and not much of a crosby fan, but pittsburgh got this cause the flyers' weak goalies.


in the east, once the habs knockoff the bruins (cause they will), the only other team that can take on the habs and the entire east is New Jersey. they're frign gooooood. so my heart is with the habs, but my money is on New Jersey reppin the east.

WEST:
san jose sharks (1) vs. anaheim ducks (8): i like the sharks, and i see them taking this but it'll take em 7 close-ass games.
detroit red wings (2) vs. columbus blue jackets (7): detroit got this but i like columbus. i think they're the only team that can outscore detroit.
vancouver canucks (3) vs. st. louis blues (6): canucks got this too. LUONGO. 'nuff said.
chicago blackhawks (4) vs. calgary flames (5): this is a hot series. i like iginla and kiprusoff, but i love the blackhawks. frign young guns of the league. blackhawks in 6.


in the west, the teams out there are more tricky. the possible upsets are more significant cause, unlike the east, the difference between the seeds are much more greater. the east, they're all evenly strength teams. all the high seeds are expected to go far. my heart is with the blackhawks, but my money is on.... not sure. either detroit or vancouver. if the canucks can score consistently, then i got em over detroit. we shall see...

game 1

"whoooo!"

what a game. what-a-game. even tho the habs lost, they played real well.
carey price: though shaky at first, his play got stronger as each period passed. i got a little worried, thinking the series was over after the bruins got up 2. that first goal really got me shook, but that third period he did real well. thats a period he can build off of and use from now on. upcoming games should be fun to watch him.
boston: their forechecking was disgusting in the first period. i suppose their strategy is to press until they get a goal up, then back off and defend. but once the habs tied it up in the second, boston had to stick to defending and thats when the habs really were able to move the puck and pressure the bruins in their own end.
lucic: he's a beast. the hits he was giving out and how fast he skates for a big man is gross. he's as big as komisarek and laraque, but twice as fast as they are. you love to hate him, but i love to watch the kid. his game backs up his swagger. its hard.
laraque: your slow, you cant handle shit... but you sure can scare players.
gorges: yes, you lost the game. now buck up and play smarter.
plekanec and kostitsyn: homies you have to score.

i've watched the other hockey games, but none is as exciting as this series. and yea, im bias. we just need to steal one game in boston, then it'll be a 7 game series for sure.
game 2, saturday at 8pm.

155 lbs.


i got lil over a month til summer is full on, and the past five days i've gone out running 3 times (includes today). i'll count em as warm ups. til i fly out for the summer, im gonna work my beer gut by running as much as 4 times a week, plus ball on fridays. i'm gunning for 145 lbs. that's right, 10 lbs. in 5 weeks time.

starting... now.

p.s. awesome movie btw.

project runway canada


anybody see the season finale last night? i wasnt all over this, but caught like 3-4 episodes over the past months. if you did follow, it was pretty clear from the beginning that Sunny Fong frign owned everybody each show. so no surprise he won. and im also glad jess made it so far. she's a bit annoying as a personality, and obviously heavy, but she was the most real as a person. and i hated all the other designers attitudes... frign haters. looking forward to next season, and will look for season 1...

desperate times


fuck conficker! i dunno. my dated 2001 microbytes pentium IV desktop computer machine has been crashing on me in a more frequent basis nowadays. i've looked into the netbook trend, but paying half the money for half the features of a regular laptop aint winning me over much. i like graphic power, i like watching movies, burn discs, and typing up lab reports in cafes full of studious women with glasses. but theres nothing really out there, right now i'm waiting for that game changer of a lappy. sigh* i miss my macbook Noir...

please feel free to help me out in my dire circumstances and paypal me here: htw_man@hotmail.com. any amount (above $20.00) is very well appreciated.

may 2nd

manny pacquiao vs. ricky hatton.

then word around the gym is after every match that pacquiao wins (and only IF he wins), he takes a step closer to the ultimate fight in his career. bigger than the de la hoya fight. this is his plate...

miguel cotto.
current wbo welterweight champion.

juan manuel marquez.
i like this guy. this guy is niiiice. like a young de la hoya.

and the pot of gold...
'pretty boy' floyd mayweather jr.

a mayweather fight (and win...) will no doubt seal pacquiao's legend. and only then i'd think he'd be untouchable. and he's very well capable to do so. diiiiiirty...

7th spot

re~united, and it feels so goooood!
*yes i know kovalev is killin it too...

final four... last two

michigan state vs. north carolina. monday night 930pm ET.
go tar heels!
