it was very frowned upon by the country music industry but I kinda liked Beyoncé’s rendition of Jolene lol.
Apparently she wrote the lyrics and music for Jolene and I Will Always Love You in one day.
Millions of dollars for a few hours work.
Genius.
Whatever you think of her music, Dolly is amazing and a great person.
And this is crazy, but she has been doing lots of covers/originals with a wide range of artists (Pitbull, Linda Perry, McCartney/Starr, Rob Halford, Ann Wilson, Cyndi Lauper, John Fogerty, Steven Tyler, Peter Frampton, Joan Jett etc… etc…).
She is on a mission!
Not sure of Dolly Parton is showing the world she is still a force of nature, or if Motley Crue are desperately seeing attention and some form of relevance.

yeah I get it. without creating any false hopes I find it’s actually a good time to be excited as a habs fan, and even if they don’t accomplish all they wanted to do in the off-season I think they’re still on the right path, but I understand the realism/idealism dichotomy.
I am not really having false hope, or specific expectations (other than to expect the unexpected).
I am more fascinated by what the HuGo tandem are doing to improve the club (trades / off-season / draft), however that goes.
I find it as interesting as the on-ice improvements / games.
(And until this last year, maybe even more interesting than the games themselves).

I’m indeed pretty excited to see what they do, and I find the draft talk is actually interesting when it’s close to draft day, but I guess it’s pointless to explain this for the hundredth time lol.
So too early to start talking about the 2026 draft then?
Symba exclaimed:
I have no/low expectations, too many buyers, not enough sellers. If I had to guess, Habs will end up trading for a 3rd line center who can slot in the 2nd when Dach is injured, Habs will try to move up in the draft also, I say they end up drafting a few spots earlier than 16th. I expect a “We tried but the prices were too high, it didn’t make sense”
The HuGo tandem always seems to do something unexpected, so I am prepared for 1 or 2 surprises over the next few weeks.
I am more excited by what they may (or may not do) than anything else.
Pat must be excited.
7 days and ~9 hours ’til the NHL draft.
I bet the little guy is not sleeping well, as he is full of giddy pre-draft excitement.
But seriously, this could be a really fun 2 weeks.
Cannot wait to see what HuGo get done.
Kick noted:
on HB. smillie did a habs blog.
I like Smillie, seems like a good guy, but what a mess of a blog that is… edit yourself, my man, make some paragraphs, break it up.
Stopped reading half way through, felt like War and Peace or something.
Sheesh.
Pat pontificated:
for his current production though it’s actually a pretty good deal in terms of salary, he could’ve gotten more elsewhere.
He is 34 and will be 39 when the contract ends (January birthday).
I think he might have gotten a little more per year on a shorter deal, but 4 years is a lot of term.
I mean, good for him.
Braiden. with puppy dog eyes, stated:
Granlund as 2C in MTL?
I think he might be their back-up plan.
I would not be against a 2-3 years deal while they look for something better – either trade, UFA, Dach actually shows up for 82 games or Hague is the real deal.

jebus… I find a lot of people are way over-evaluating Heineman and have given up too quickly on Dach, but we’ll see lol.
I think Heineman is a middle 6 winger, whether it is on line 2 or 3 is tbd.
I think Dach’s body gave up on Dach….
