GEORGES LARAQUE VS OCTANE GIRLS from 33mag on Vimeo.

The video above seems to have gotten a fair bit of press today in this city. Pitting Big Georges Laraque against ''the octane girls'' in a friendly game of ball hockey (no pun intended), in an ad for Octana 7.0 energy drink, the scantily clad women seem to be a much more central part of the video than BGL himself. Still, it seems as if some women's activist groups got a hold of it (two weeks after I posted it in the forums, I might add) and complained that Big Georges was being a little chauvanistic and sexist in making such an ad.

The Habs roll into Vancouver tonight looking to rebound after a very tight game in Calgary last night. While the Canadiens will obviously be looking for the W tonight, they probably won't be the most desperate group of skaters on the ice.

So here we are, Monday morning, October 5th, another crappy-ish fall day. The habs are sitting pretty at the top of the Eastern conference, just below the Washington Capitals, on a 2-game road winning streak. The new players, for the most part, are producing, Carey Price is standing on his head, and the team is finding ways to win despite the odds being against them.

So what's the problem, you say?

After what's proven to be a VERY long summer and pre-season, the puck FINALLY drops for real tonight, and the highlight of the night is certain to be the match-up between the Canadiens and Maple Leafs at the ACC, slated to air on the return of Hockey Night in Canada tonight in primetime!
