The Cup Headed Back to Toronto This Year!

[El Toro]

https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2012/4/21/2964961/raffi-torres-suspension-coyotes-issue-statement-marian-hossa +1, Gunny; and the Phoenix Coyotes and their fans agree with this! Here is what Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney had to say about this incident and we fans here in Phoenix stand behind this statement! We Phoenicians are civilized and refined, we are not from Vancouver damn it to Hell!!!

"I want to thank Brendan Shanahan and his staff for their thorough review of this incident," said Maloney. "The ruling is very severe for Raffi and our Hockey Club. Raffi plays a hard, physical game yet this contact crossed the line on what is acceptable in our game today. We hope Marian Hossa makes a full and speedy recovery as we all enjoy watching him perform. The Club accepts the NHL's decision and will focus on our game tonight."

I think that's a classy response by Maloney, and if the organizations take this approach (instead of the historical wink wink nod nod) then maybe things will improve.

The Coyotes are likely to be the Predators opponent for Round 2. I thought Shea Weber got off light for his beat down of Zetterberg in Game 1 of Round 1. Babcock worked through his anger and had a classy response too... Weber seemed under better personal control for the remaining games.

Bruins and Caps up next. They should drop the puck shortly.

Arriba, Ai, Ai! My 'Yotes are now two up on the Predators! When we get the Stanley Cup to Phoenix we Zonies are going to throw Un Grande Fiesta in the Downtown Plaza! Mas Baile y mas Musica y mas Fiesta. They are going to put Papa Chuy in charge of making Margaritas Sonora Style and serving them out of the Stanley Cup.

Papa Chuy Viejo's Hermosillo Recipe for perfect Margaritas to fit one serving from the Stanley Cup:

Two gallons of Herradura Tequila

Half gallon of Cointreau triple sec

Gallon of lime juice

Not sure my heart can take actually watching today's Rangers-Caps game.

We're on thin ice!

Much as I'd love to see you enjoying a hoisting of the Cup in Phoenix, Don, ...Quick and the Kings are gonna win this whole thing.

And I've never been wrong.

Go Leafs

That would be a real bummer Mick, Papa Chuy intends to make Herradura Tequila Margaritas Sonora Style in the Stanley Cup. SkooterG says he is going to use the Cup to make Salsa Fresca Picante, with fresh hot corn tortilla chips! Ole, ole!

You Southern Yanks have no sense of history or propriety. Any good hockey playing, Tim Horton's Coffee drinking Canadian will tell you that the only thing allowed in the Stanley Cup is Molsons Canadian beer or Crown Royal Rye. You weirdos start dumping some other trash in the Cup and we will invade from the Great White North and kick your butt like we did in 1812.

The only reason LA and Phoenix are doing well is because you have good Canadian hockey players. The Canadian teams don't pay as well and we got stuck with the Swedish players.

Okay Bill, just for that we're going to serve Mezcal (complete with the worms!) out of the Stanley Cup after we finish off our Margaritas and Salsa. Damnit, my name is on that cup! Es Verdad, ese!

WTF? There's a "dumbass" cup. That's cool!

What's a HAB?

 

[El Toro]

Short for Les Habitants. Depending on who you want to believe, it may refer to the original French settlers (native French speakers), or it may refer to the idea that they are denizens of Canada (or Montreal, or Quebec ... you can choose).

In either case, the H on the jersey is controversial too ... some attributing it to Habitants, and some attributing it to Club de hockey Canadien.

I think myself that les habitants refers to the original French speaking settlers, and I believe that the H on the jersey stands for Hockey.

El Toro, that is an outstanding definition of HABS!

Yo Don Carver, short version: HABS = LOSERS!!

Dang, he was right. That cup has "Beemerdons" written all over it.

BTW...I believe the "H" stands for "Horrendously Horrible Hockey Hopefuls Having a Horrific Hopeless Harrumph." Or it could be ancient greek for "We play like figure skaters and we fucking suck." Possibly...Just sayin'.

Nos bras meurtris vous tendent le flambeau, à vous toujours de le porter bien haut.

This line from the 1915 poem "In Flanders Fields" was on the wall in their dressing room at Le Forum de Montréal, and now is in their dressing room at Centre Molson, aka Centre Bell.

Well, they've got the failing hands part right, but they don't seem to be able to get the next group to catch the torch or hold it high. It seems as though they're busy trying to make sure that no one speaks any English.

Where are the Quebecois to explain it all when we need them?
