NHL on the Fly’s Pre Draft Special

This is going to be a 2 part NHL on the fly special. With the upcoming draft tomorrow expect some big moves and shakes from teams. But before I get into that I’lls get into news.

Seems the Habs are not signing a free agent till they pick up a #1 center. They want to build a team around this player and with that said, I believe its worth the wait because this #1 center will draw in big wingers.

Brian Burke is still trying to gun for the top 3 picks.

The Sedin’s are looking to sign for 12 years and 5.6 mil each brother. Honestly its great if it was not so long so that’s why Vancouver is hesitating.

Balisie lost the chance to ship out the Coyotes. Its too bad because Phoenix is a losing proposition.

The Molson bros bought our beloved Habs for a whopping $575 million. I definitely did not want them to be controlled by a gambler and a company which chooses profit over success.

And now on to the draft:

For the past couple of years we have seen and known who would go first. Crosby, Ovechkin, Kane etc… But this would be the first year where it is up in the air.  New York Islanders fan should seriously STFU if they don’t draft Taveres.  And with that I will create a mock draft of the top  teams and things that might happen.

1) NEW YORK ISLANDERS: After seeing Garth Snow (NY gm) saying he will not trade this pick, we need to see the needs of the team, and boy this team is in the down phase. With no real offense and only Mark Streit at Defense. Its safe to say that they are in need in a whole lot of help. Taveres, Hedman,Duschene are all good picks but when its there time….this is who they will pick…

John Taveres- Solely to try to get Komosarek or another defense to be with Streit. If not expect them to take Hedman

2) Tampa Bay Lightening: With a sudden chance to move Vincent Lecavlier, they are expected to also need either a D man or a F to replace Lecav. Expect them to take:

Matt Duchene- With Markov being offered in the package for Lecavlier, they don’t need a Dman, they will need offense.

3) Colorado Avalanche: This one is a no-brainer. With great offense and no D, expect them to take

Victor Hedman

and the rest:

4)Atlanta- Evander Kane

5)Los Angeles- Braydon Schenn

A lot will happen including big trade rumors including Vincent Lecavlier, maybe someone big moving up in the draft.

Expect these teams to move up in the draft:

Montreal Canadians, T.O Maple Leafs, Dallas Stars and maybe a few I haven’t mentioned..

Until Saturday when we will have the POST DRAFT SPECIAL

Tango Restaurant in Centropolis: Shitty service & Drinks Starting with the Ownership

I rarely complain about an eatery but my friends and I were disrespected by the owner of this little cafe and it needed venting.

My friends and I got to Tango Cafe at 10pm ish a couple days ago and proceeded to get some coffee’s, alcoholic beverages, and a bit of munchies.  We also decided to play Italian cards outside on the terrace (something we’ve done time and time again at countless other restaurants like Universe).  My buddy orders a martini that they mess up (they tried to pass off a Gin+7up in a Martini glass as a martini), we told the waitress but didn’t make a big deal of it.

A good 30+ minutes after we arrive and start playing (after we ordered) the owner tells the waitress to tell us to stop playing games outside because it makes it look like there’s gambling going on outside LOL.  we look to each other shocked and inform the waitress that we’re just playing Italian cards (scopa), she repeats that she’s really sorry but the owner asked us to stop.

we ask to speak to the owner to get some clarification.  she goes back in and then comes back out with 2 other waiters who tell us they’re really sorry but we need to stop playing, the owner says if he has to come outside he’s going to kick us all out!

ALL THIS WHILE THERE IS A FUCKING LOTO-QUEBEC PARTY LITERALLY 5 FEET AWAY AT THE RESTAURANT NEXT DOOR!!

we raised our volumes so the other customers could hear and told her, you know what tell your boss that we feel incredibly disrespected and he just lost 7 customers, we payed and left immediately.

I understand that it’s his place but the fact that the owner didn’t even have the fucking balls to come outside and talk to his customers himself he got a poor waitress to do his dirty work for him and then treated us like we were fcucking garbage is totally disrespectful.  No class, no balls, not going back ever.

ps. $20 for double apple shisha that tastes like it came out of a camel’s ass = extra fail

Here’s some similar reviews from other people on restomontreal.com

yummy cocktails and crepes! biggest projector (tv screen), modern and nice ambiance.
Must go with friends and/or family …. too bad it was HORRIBLE service though … all 3 times

By: ppereira

I consider the service of the restaurant very poor.
I called to make a reservation for a group. About twenty minutes upon the reservation was confirmed, the manager called back to ask me at what time we were planning to leaving the restaurant because he needed the table he had assigned to my group for another group. Needless to say that I cancelled the reservation… When the MANAGER of the restaurant is so anxious to see you out of his restaurant and you have not yet arrived IT SAYS IT ALL ABOUT THE SERVICE!!!!…..

Lord Anish’s Full Hockey Update

As we all know by now that the Montreal Canadiens have hired a new head coach. Is he French? Check. Is he Bilingual? Check. Is he what we need to make this team go from 8th place last year to a cup this year? Yes. With over 1000 games experience and a defensive mind like no other, we have Jaques Martin.  A defensive minded coach who will make us win close 2-1 games. This bodes well for Carey Price and puts less pressure on him but let’s face it, this is Montreal. Pressure comes with a smile in the  city no matter who you are.

With July 1st coming rumors are floating everywhere that Havalat wants to stay in Chicago. Emery is rumored to becoming a Flyer and  Bertuzzi a Hab.  We’re hearing Cammeleri might become a Senator and Taveres or Duchense a T.O. Maple Leaf.  A lot of rumors flying around but there’s not enough evidence of these specific things happening. David Kreji has signed a 3 year extension with Boston Bruins. After having a remarkable year, does one expect anything different?

In News, the court battle for NHL vs Bassile seems to be favoring the Blackberry mogul. The Habs have not re-signed one person since P.K.  Subban over a month ago. I believe now that the Habs are more dramatic then an O.C. girl.

With the Stanley Cup over and done with more rumors have recently popped up:

Vincent Lecavlier: Expect Montreal, LA Kings or Edmonton to make a push for this superstar

Mike Cammeleri: Ottawa seems to be a front runner

Danny Heatley: This German powerhouse asked for a trade from Ottawa last week. There seems to be an ongoing straight exchange for Heatley with Calgary. Dion Phaneuf for Heatley is the most seen. If Ottawa can grasp him, they will turn to Komisarek and the Habs.

Marion Hossa: Detroit is looking to re-sign. Problem is they have a lot more others to re-sign first. So unless Hossa does it for 2 million a yr. Expect Edmonton to make  a grab.

Saku Koivu: Minnesota seems to want him playing with his brother.

Congratulations Pittsburgh Penguins:

On a job well done beating the Detroit Redwings 4-3 in the series and 2-1 in the Stanley Cup finals. It was a job well done. Looks like Pittsburgh wanted it more, or Marion Hossa wanted it less. Either way Detroit made one mistake and it cost them a 2nd in a row cup.

Well thats all for today peeps, I’ll be going to the draft next week but will make an update before then.

Life as a St. Patrick’s Day Bouncer

I thought I would describe in detail what St. Patrick’s day for a bouncer is like. Now, I haven’t even bothered mentioning all the drunken people puking everywhere, and instead opted to tell the stories that I felt really stood out in my mind that night.

Incident 1: The manager of the club tells us to come upstairs and stop a couple from having sex in the washroom. We interrupt their love making and kick them out.

Incident 2: Right after we kick them out two girls hysterically argue with the manager about how we need to intervene and free a lady from her European pimps. Apparently, they overheard the girl say, “I don’t want to be here”, and construed that as “I am being held against my will”. Despite the fact that we wouldn’t want to get involved in anything surrounding organized crime in the slightest, we seriously doubt that the girl in question was a sex worker, especially considering we were taking this on the word of two obviously inebriated young ladies. However, try talking to two drunk girls who are adamant in their beliefs, telling you that you know nothing while they on the other hand are “experts” because they took a measly McGill course on the matter. Anyhow, we had to throw out these hysterical bitches and even had to call the cops to have them escorted out. It took forever for the cops to arrive.

Incident 3: As we are dealing with the girls in incident 2, the couple from incident 1 appear… with a police cruiser. I however, was unaware that this was the same couple because, well, I was just out of it. Anyhow, apparently these idiots tried taking a cab to go to the girl’s house to have a little booty call. Unfortunately, they didn’t have enough money for the cab so the driver called the cops to force them to pay their fare. The guy comes back to the bar where his friends have money to give him. But it seems the company he kept were less intelligent than average, and doubly less intelligent than average when under the influence of alcohol. So one of his friends, believing one of the police officers to be a government agent of oppression and control (I assume), threw a beer bottle at the cop while yelling “fucking pig”. Naturally the cop grabbed the dude, arm locked him, and shoved him into the police cruiser.

Incident 4: Since I let the girl back in by mistake we had to kick her out once again. We grabbed her and she started balling her head off crying in drunken incoherent babble. As we were dragging the drunkard off some dude from the New York Fire Department (he had his uniform on) comes in Superman style and demands to know what we are doing. I look at him and tell him we are bouncers, we are kicking the lady out, and that he is preventing us from doing our job. Despite the situation being obvious it appears this dude believed we were trying to harm the lady and tried to “save the day” and free her. Unfortunately the St. Patrick’s Day beer didn’t grant him superpowers of any sort so we quickly choked him out and threw him outside alongside the dumb girl he was trying to protect.

Incident 5: The manager calls us up to let us know that some dude is pissing on the wall upstairs near the exit. By the time we got up he finished his business and calmly exited the bar.

Incident 6: I go back downstairs, and this creepy looking dude that looks like he came out of a Death Row rap music video is holding out a pitcher of beer and telling me to take it. I look at him and I am like, “excuse me?”. He goes on and on until I just walk away from the idiot. But I kept my eye on him and watched the dude walk around with a violent chip on his shoulder. At one point I decided enough was enough and got some back up to throw him out. When we came to escort him out his friend came to intervene and by the end we had to forcibly push them both outside. When we reached outside he was yelling all sorts of expletives and curses, saying he was going to kill us and yadayadayada. He did all of this within earshot of two peace officers and they soon approached him to try to calm him down. He then proceeded to curse the police and yell, “You wanna shoot me? Shoot me then, I don’t give a fuck!”, and then even pushed one of the cops. Now I thought for sure the police were going to do a Rodney King on the dude and beat him up big time, but instead one of the officers just kicked him back and drew out his pepper spray. The black dude then just shouted some more curses, and then walked away towards St. Cat’s. I guess the cops didn’t want to file the paper work. On a day like St Pat’s, you just got let a lot of stuff slide.

Conference de Montreal: Black Masks & Bankers

http://www.conferencedemontreal.com/

MONTREAL — Today marked the first day of the four-day Conference of Montreal, this year entitled “Adapting to a New World Order.” Present at the conference is a who’s who of international finance and politics, including the heads of the World Bank and the IMF, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and a large assortment of other Bilderberg and NWO elitists. Presiding over the whole affair is none other than Paul Desmarais Jr., a member of Montreal’s leading Bilderberg family. This is the fifteenth anniversary of the Conference of Montreal. The conference is taking place at the Bonaventure Hilton in downtown Montreal until Thursday.

The whole place was under a heavy police lockdown, and getting footage from inside was next to impossible without proper media credentials. Nonetheless we were able to get information from media sources inside about what is being discussed.

According to reporters we spoke with, today’s meetings dealt mostly with the economic crisis and what strategies should be employed to deal with it. When we asked if there was any mention of the North American Union, we were told that would be happening on Wednesday. One of the reporters gave us the schedule for the next four days and indeed, on Wednesday, there is a Luncheon at noon entitled “The Americas and the New World Order” headlined by Madeleine Albright which may or may not be a discussion of the North American Union. The descriptive blurb in the schedule describes it thusly: “How can the Americas make changes to play their part in the establishment of a more stable, and fair, basis for international prosperity?”

Several unmarked police cars escorted people out of the building all day, and though protesters burned an effigy of Mr. Desmarais on the sidewalk in front of the Hilton, no one was arrested. The police came along after the protesters had dispersed and extinguished the remaining embers.

Some notables from the list of guests this year include:

Madeleine Albright, Former U.S. Secretary of State
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director, IMF
Robert Zoellick, President, The World Bank Group
Jean-Claude Trichet, President, European Central Bank
Guillermo Ortiz Martinez, Governor, Central Bank of Mexico
Mark Carney, Governor, Bank of Canada
Alvaro Uribe, President of the Republic of Colombia
Angel Gurria, Secretary-General, OECD

In addition there are numerous ministers from governments all over the globe and from the UN, as well as executives from General Electric, Goldman Sachs, Cisco Systems, GDF SUEZ, The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and others.

Each day of the conference has a different theme. Today’s theme was Economy and Governance. The meeting opened at 8:30 a.m. with a lecture from the head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, entitled: “Towards a New Global Order.” Other events today had titles like “A New World Governance” and “Thriving in a New Financial Order.” Cocktails after a long day of running the globe were at 5.

The themes for the next three days are:

Tuesday, June 9: Energy, Health and Sustainable Development
Wednesday, June 10: International Trade and the Americas
Thursday, June 11: International Finance

The closing luncheon on Thursday at noon entitled “The Economic Crisis and the Role of Central Banks: How Far Can They Go?” sounds like a snore-fest at first, with two Central Bank governors, Mexico’s and Canada’s, giving a speech. However, the lecture’s subtitle indicates that it is something we should all hear: “NAFTA and the Economic Recovery: The Required Joint Action Between North American Central Banks.”
