The Montreal Canadian hockey team will not renew Patrice Brisebois' contract.

WHY ? WHY?>:((

Look at his stats, he's not such a kind of player we can afford to lose.

WeNEED> to keep Jos? Th?odore and Richard Zednick HERE!

Altough, we heard something cool for us :

MONTREAL ? Canadiens GM Bob Gainey announced Thursday the signings of prospects Jimmy Bonneau and Maxim Lapierre to three year contracts. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
-from CH official website.

Too bad Crosby is heading Pistburg. Atleast I had a good time when I was able to see him every winter week.

If you let me, I would suggest some great stories about MTL Canadians;

I'm glad that idiot is finally out of Montreal. Im sick of his bitching and complaining every damn season. Point is, the guy SUCKS, he should never have been on the first D line, nor does he deserve the millions he milked out of Montreal. After 14 years in the NHL and one stanley cup, the guy didnt even learn how to skate backwards, get rid of opposing players from infront of the net, take low shots from the point or even hit properly. He was about as useful as a midget playing in net. Good riddance if u ask me. I could never figure out why he was on our first line, i would give him some praise as a 3rd line Dman. I guess u never heard all the fans booing him at every home game where he touched the puck. Brisbois SUCKS!! stay away form Montreal or retire!

'

i need an asprine

I bet people prefer strangers, like Russian and all those Eurpoan guys,...

-they don't speak french and we do in MTL

-if they are not here for the money like Brisebois, why don't they play in their local teams?

All spectators boo a player when he sucks, but as soon as he gets better, they forget and cheers him back,...

That's just a matter of opinion,...

Right, like Ryder perhaps?!

What do you mean about 'those European guys'?

You're starting to sound like Don Cherry!

if only he had been paid what he was worth for, he's a good guy a great hockey player and he loved the Montreal Canadiens ( and btw, that's what we do not have currently ... hm ... Maybe Steve B?gin is another guy like him ... but this guy is just too crazy lol ) He was just too much paid ... for what he could offer on the ice ... that's a shame ... I do hope he'll come back but with a lower salary ... but that just won't happen

no, i prefer quality hockey players, i dont give a rats ass what language they speak. They could be from Iraq for all i care, as long as they can put the puck in the net. Since when is montreal french? last time i took a step outside of my house we had people from all cultures speaking all kinds of languages. How the hell this became an english/french debate is beyond me. Maybe its because i don't like Brisbois? Our best players are non-french speaking... Koivu, Zednik, Ryder, Souray, Markov, Bonk etc. In fact, 5 of the top 6 point getters in 2004 were non Quebecers.. so i dunno what you're trying to get at. This isnt 1960 anymore, we don't have the pick of the litter from the QC Junior Leagues anymore like we used to.

All spectators boo a bad play, but obviously you never heard when they boo'ed 'breezer' for years. He even admitted recently on TV that he couldnt handle all the pressure from the fans. Why? because he's a lousy d-man and shouldnt be anywhere near the top line. Maybe you also forgot a few years back when he ditched the team to go on vacation to Paris? what a team player!

And Zednik signed a contract last year for 3yrs so we don't have to worry about him going anywhere.

Dude, it's Canadiens... of all people I'm sure you'd want to get that right.

Dude, I really like your post. Thanks, it makes me think.

Anyway, where I was getting at with french it's that, if you go outside the island of MTL, like south shore, north qc and such, fans would love to hear their favorite hockey player speaks a language they fully understand, French. I'm not saying they should only speak french tho. I'm sure kids whose take them almost as god would appreciate. Just like english speaking kids appreciate.

Pressure IS something that leads to bad play. I remember when I was pitching in baseball (Midget Double-A), pressure, winning, was the only think I was thinking about, during matches, at home and during practice. To me, pressure made him a lousy D-man as he wasn't in the beginning.

Yeah, I forgot about Paris,... :s

Anyhow, speaking with guys at work they think like you. But then I asked if they would have him back for a lower salary? Some said yes, some said it was time for freshness.

In one thread I was trying to find a way around the bad word filter (like ****). Then I admitted that I didn't read the rule after I joined and got the 1st warning.

Second warning, I made a joke involving black people. And I wondered, what's the difference between making a joke about phicaly or mentally hanciaped people and black people? To me, the answer is NONE. Yet it happen and no one bitch.

But this is off topic.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.
