Thank you very much for translating this welcome rant. Marquise Lepage and Réalisatrices Équitables are on the front lines of clamoring for more attention paid to issues-oriented film projects, many of which are penned by women but passed over by government funders for traditional yucks-and-guns "guy" feature movies.

Réalisatrices Équitables filmmakers Isabelle Hayeur and Carole Poliquin will be discussing these issues at UQAM on March 25, Pavillon Alexandre De Sève, DS-1950 at 12:45.

If you saw the Germany-Belarus game you might have also been wondering who that was wearing the Kostitsyn jersey. We have not seen that dude much this season in a Habs jersey. Well if Ryan Miller wins the Vezina and the Olie gold, that's like a hat trick for goalies. Under Pierre Boivin's directives, I suppose Ken Holland would not even be considered for the post of G.M. Then again, niether would Scott Bowman.

Alive in the Superunknown, might be the best way to account for the astonishing(even more astonishnig than the sublime Minka Kelly...)work performed by Mr. Halak. I hope that Mr. Gauthier was watching as well and not giving up second rounders for spare parts...( after all P.K. was a second rounder, ahem)

As for the drinking pass me a Sleeman please(I know...I know..uncool..but tasty)

That Khabibulin bit was sad yet somewhat hilarious as what else could go wrong with sad sack Edmonton these days. Simply a goddamn mess.

Enjoy the rest of the games. ( Weber did not look too out of place last night either...hmmmm)

But about that Halak.....as Keanu would say...WHOA!

Hey Reuven! I trust you stayed up tonight to watch Halak's stalwart goaltending vs. The Russians. If you didn't, here's the recap: Halak stopped Ovechkin 2 out of 3 times in the shootout, and also foiled Datsyuk, and Malkin, and Morozov, and Kovalchuk (well, Kovy missed), etc.

It's nice to know that when he comes home, he'll still be platooning with Carey Price.

Yes, you can start drinking now.

Also, now that Khabibulin got drunk and drove in Arizona, and he plays for Edmonton, which is a last place team who might want to cut ties with its injured starter in the off-season, what do you want to bet that Price, a Western Canadian boy who Edmonton was looking at (reportedly) does *not* go to the Oil in the off-season in a trade.

I mean, of course he won't. Because that'd make too much fucking sense, right?

Sigh.

It's a length of street that has more boarded up windows than businesses. Just because there's one business there that's banging a drum doesn't mean that it's worth saving. Plain and simple, that area of town is a garbage-strewn failure with more closed storefronts than open ones. What is happening there now simply isn't working and deserves to go the way of the dodo.

Given the parameters required of the job by Pierre Boivin ( which, at least ought to please curmudgeon and oft-lunatic Rejean Tremblay) and knowledge of the organization, Pierre Gauthier was THE obvious choice given the Olympic break and impending trade deadline. With another loss to injury ( M.A. Bergeron for 6-8 weeks) it seems like he certainly has his work cut out for him. I think that the work performed by Mr. Gainey since 2003 is quite tangible. Off the ice the aknowledgement of the history via sweater retirements, centenaries, community involvement. On the ice, in the establishment of a strong(er) draft record and development. the team is certainly better that in 2003. The draft will always be a gamble. ( Ask any other team ) Mr. Gainey was, and will always be a class act ( ask Mr. O'Byrne or Mr. Komisarek) I am also glad that Mr. Gauthier is seemingly willing to keep his most valuable assets in Price and Halak, yet is willing to entertain the idea of trades despite the astonishing numbers of present injuries. Time will tell I suppose...hopefully they will not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Also...what is the deal with Red fiasher's nasty asides within his poorly constructed story this morning. Or, Pat Hickey's silly opinions within his? ( And they wonder why people read La Presse or watch RDS.....)
