While visiting my late Fathers' grave to place some flowers recently, I happened upon none other than Danny Gallivans grave, very nearby. No flowers or adornments to the site so each time I visit Dad now I also leave a flower for Danny.

I just wanted to share with you fans.

He bought us many great nights

I'm moving, and during my move I found a ton of Habs memorabilia.

A signed paper with the entire team from 1993.

The license plate they gave to season ticket holders when they moved from the Forum.

An old picture with the original 6 buildings, and signatures (Béliveau, Bower, etc)

A bunch of game caught pucks from the Forum.

I'm still going through it now, but it sure brings back memories.

Guys and Gals....Quick need of your input. Though it will have to be quite fast, I'm heading out in 1 hour or so.

What are your recommendation for soundbars or home cinema? I don't want to pay more than 600$ for it. Just bought a HDTV and now want to add some sound to it. Yeah, I know, Bose cinemate at 1600$ is great...but it is just that....1600$. Not interested. So what else? And under 600$ please. If you know where.....would be fun also.

Sorry, short notice but if you can, it will be appreciated. Places could be in Montreal, North Shore or Laval, I don't care.

I know it's late, WS, but honestly Klipsch and Bose in that order are the ones that I truly enjoy. Some Klipsch can fit under your budget.

I've liked anything I've used from Klipsch as well.

Best buy is suggesting me a Klipsch Iconduo at 599.99$. While I am also tempted by the Bose Cinema GS series that I will have for 749.99$. Not sure which I should go for. Polk Audio IHT 4000 at 299.99 is surprisingly good for the sound as well.

Question, does the word 'deroule' in french also apply to conduct in english?

For instance, can you use it in the context of saying "the way I act" or "the way I handle myself"?

Basically, "la facon que je deroule" or wtv.

"The way I roll"? You can't translate this literally if it's what you're asking

Yah, pretty much what I'm asking.

I haven't spoke french beyond the simple talk in a year and a half and I came up with that while talking to someone. I knew immediately it felt off but they didn't say anything.

What's the proper word?

**dkdanielkli** · 02-01-2013, 09:11 PM

Share with us some of your Habs related stories. Best memories, first game etc...
I haven't been to a Habs game yet ( f&ck me right?). Have moved to Canada just over 4 years ago and have been a Canadiens fan ever since. I've Started watching all game and following all the updates in the middle of the 10/11 season (:

Bloumeister · 02-01-2013, 09:19 PM

Just recently, off the top of my head:

- I was there during Pacioretty's surgery (appendix)
- the time I took a pic of my dermatically-challenged friend with PK Subban while having a burger
- when my girlfriend saw Louis Leblanc celebrate his draft (or was it his contract signing?) Alexandre-Daigle style on his front lawn

Fun times!

I'm the guy Pasquale Mangiola hired to secure hookers and blow for the Kostitsyn brothers.

Pierre Dagenais · 02-01-2013, 09:31 PM

I am the stanchion that Pacioretty was hit into. Lost my job after that thanks to Chara

Alexdaman · 02-01-2013, 09:46 PM

My only signature from a habs player is a jersey I use to wear when I was 5 signed by Gino Odjick, he's also the only player I got to meet face to face.

It also wasn't such a great face to face experience.

I probably have a ****tier story than you,
I met Patrick Poulin and got his autograph at a Burger King that he owned in Saint-Eustache when I was 8. Only player I've met in person.

Yeah that's about as sad as mine.

Barkov16 · 02-02-2013, 02:02 PM

I know that this is probably wrong thread for this, but i couldn't find any better one. I just saw the very first time this season's entrance(?) of the Montreal Canadiens and i have to say that it was awesome and best what i've ever seen.

But the real question is.. which are the songs played on that ceremonia? There was atleast 2 songs, maybe 3. Well you guys know it better anyway.

I tried to find that ceremony on Youtube, but found only one with a player presentation on it and it's not the same.

I'd be glad if someone can help me.

DekeLikeYouMeanIt · 02-02-2013, 02:43 PM

No this is the right thread

Do you mean the home opening ceremony with the torch?

There was a torch too and on the screen was first one people signing(?) and in the end it became a Canadiens logo etc. That was the first song and during the second song there was going highlights of the Canadiens' team.

DekeLikeYouMeanIt · 02-02-2013, 04:53 PM

I'm not sure. Maybe someone else would know. Anteeksi.

Fel, any clue?
