Really?

Not much of a hockey fan, TBH....but one of my best friends is from Montreal and is a major Habs fan.

Hey -- I am still incensed at the NHL for allowing the Minnesota North Stars to move to Dallas.

Shows you how long I hold a grudge.

No prob, Lou.

I think he means Bettino Craxi, though.

Ya think?

No disrespect meant to your great city, BTW.

:doh: Got me.

Ehh... it is a great city. Far from perfect. But there are few places in the world I would rather live. (I can't think of any offhand even...)

I just pulverized three short espresso compliments of ILLY in a coffee can so if you can't handle the rant don't read....

1. FVCK the LEAFS...those sad sacks of shit are worse than INTER...they buy and buy and they whine "this is the year" more than any Interista in the month of August yet EVERY DAMN YEAR its the same story...out in 5.
At least Inter have 1989...the LEAFS have not won a CUP SINCE 1967
I wouldn't go down on Leafs fans so hard if they didn't open their mouths and BE-LITTLE my team (The Canadiens)....what DON'T they realize?
The Canadiens have won the cup 24 times
The Canadiens have had the greatest stars bar none.
The Canadiens have last won the Cup in 93, 86 before that AND 8 times before that ...thus 10 cups since while the LEAFS have not won a damn thing.

PATHETIC.

2. I am supposed to believe that Del Piero who was twice on the Golden Ball voters list suddendly goes from Presidente to Niente all because of an injury..yet he still manages to NEVER miss an International competition (he might of well have...well I admire him for many things his international exposure in tournaments is on par with friggin Casiraghi) and suddendly when Johhny "Zeman" Whispers begins talking about EPO and the Juve administration his game changes 180 degrees.
Then I am supposed to LAUGH and think "oh those damn consipiracy theorists" at the following:
-Juve accused of administring performance enhancing drugs to its players in its MOST successfull period: 1995-1996.
-Juve doctor and g.m. brought to trial: players testify, health reports showing abnormal levels of everything from Iron to white blood cells is presented. Agricola contradicts himself time and time again.
-Juve's stance is that THE DOCTOR himself administered these drugs on his own doing....of course...because he had soo much to gain right??? Why not out of the blue start a system where I administer banned substances to my players .. not for the benefit of the team or $$ but for my own KICKS.
-Looking back we realize...wait...fvck me but Vialli, Ravanelli, Del Piero, Conte and Tacchinardi were QUITE the players once upon a time .. suddendly, two are shipped to England....the other two went from national team to a) one becoming a butcher and the other a sub and the heir to the throne is suddendly lacking enough confidence to take a whizz on his own.
-Come to think of it..nevermind Del Piero....anyone notice the difference BESIDES hair in Vialli PRE-JUVE? Its like the bald Vialli swallowed the Samp. Vialli or bench pressed him for a week straight.

How is a fan supposed to stand back and laugh at these accusations and say "its a load of horsesh*t" .. its all Zeman's doing...

Guess what....WE have the SERIE B thing (our team was more corrupt than Jimmy Hoffa) and you have the EPO thing....

don't laugh it off...swallow the pill...it will make you a more appreciative fan.

Yeah real difference in Paolo 15 years apart right...

 

[IncuboRossonero]

and now

Nick (right?), amico mio....

how does drug testing in Serie A compare to other series and to American drug testing? Olympic drug testing?

 

[IncuboRossonero]

Pado this one is for your arse :cheesy:

it doesn't..its a friggin joke...

from what I understand Olympic testing is mandatory for MEDAL winners..Paul could probably correct me here....

In Serie A they pick names out of hat (well not literally) after every game to undergo tests...urine and blood

the best part: the player can REFUSE a blood test

Well, that doesn't sound too bad, actually (except the right to refuse part, of course). Sounds about like what baseball does, for example (actually stricter--not sure bb tests at every game, but there are more of them in baseball--games, that is)

What are the penalties if a player tests positive, amico mio?

I never be-littled the Canadiens. The Canadiens - Leafs rivalry is like the Milan - Juventus rivalry. Both teams have respect for one another behind all the trash-talking and such. Trust me, my school is divided into Canadiens fans and Leafs fans, but we acknowledge eachother when one of the teams plays a good game.

 

[Bjerknes]

My Wings just beat the Blues 5-1, and Shanahan literally beat Jamal Mayers in a nice season-opening fight at the Joe. Datsyuk is off to a good start despite his lack of training due to his dunderheadish hold out over a new contract, and we looked damn good tonight.

God I'm fvcking glad hockey is back.

It was not directed at you.

However, the Habs-Leafs rivalry IS NOT like Milan-Juve...Milan Juve have dominated Serie A since the late 80's and each have had a ton of silverware to show off.
Toronto has no silverware....the Canadiens has been on the down and down as of late but are on a different level .

Very unfair towards Leafs fans Nick. I don't know many Leafs fans myself however the ones I do know never talk such nonsense about the Habs...they are usually skeptical about their chances in the upcoming season, even more so than those wonderful Flyer fantatics.

And Nick, why are you a Habs fan anyway?

-Juve accused of administring performance enhancing drugs to its players in its MOST successfull period: 1995-1996.
-Juve doctor and g.m. brought to trial: players testify, health reports showing abnormal levels of everything from Iron to white blood cells is presented. Agricola contradicts himself time and time again.

Speaking of doctoring, you sure doctored that speech up rather nicely . I always see you use that argument of "the most successful years of Juventus" being marred by doping...well sorry to break it to you but from 1981 to 1986 we won four Scudetti, the European Cup, the Cup Winners Cup, European Super Cup, World Club Cup, and the Coppa Italia...all of which amounting to more than what we won during the supposed "doping years." Doping or no doping, that was not our club's most successful period...stop throwing that terminology around like your piss balloons.

I was e mailed this joke...have to share it-

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't
>>seen
>>you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."
>>What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
>>"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
>>Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannonball, but I'm
>>fine now".
>>"Ok, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
>>"We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword
>>fight.
>>My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really."
>>"What about that eye patch?"
>>"Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I
>>looked up
>>and one of them shit in my eye."
>>"You're kidding," said the bartender, "You couldn't lose an eye
>>just from
>>some bird shit."
>>
>>"It was my first day with the hook."

Former United States Player of the Year John Harkes needs lessons on Italian football from ME...stating that Paolo Maldini scored two goals for Inter Milan is absolute buffoonery and deserves the utmost severity of punishment.

Sounds like that boy needs tickets to the next Derby della Madonnina so he can sit among the interisti and cheer on Mr. Maldini. That should give him, as they say, a moment of clarity.
