I heard the old ones will be on Tuesday. But I’m a traditionalist in that I prefer the CH only. When I see the Habs I want to see the usual uniform. But I know many like the change. I’m just boring I think.

Guess Gainey changed his mind about the uniforms…. Regular ones tonight.

Thanks Dennis.

Carey in nets tonight.
Again, the Habs will be sporting vintage uniforms. This one features the 1910-13 jerseys which had a maple leaf with a Gothic “C” in the middle.
Funny how the Canadiens had a maple leaf as their symbol before Toronto did. Bunch of unoriginal copy-cats.
Wouldn’t it be great to wear these outfits next time we play the leafs?
Great piece on the history of this and how it all connects to the Canadian flag from Habs Eyes on the Prize

I think Carey was robbed of a shutout and here’s why:
It seemed to me that Charra should have been called on an interference penalty when he took down Spacek in front of the crease to fall onto Price as the Bruins scored. The penalty should have been called and the goal should have been disallowed.
But I guess the refs felt they reached their quota for disallowed goals for this game.
In the first period Glen Metropolit’s goal was disallowed after the refs ruled Moen had interfered with Thomas – but no penalty.
Metro would have had two goals last night if it weren’t for the quirky call.
Strange, inconsistent officiating, in my opinion.

Mike, I remember that one punch from Tremblay into Schmautz’s nose. I also recall seeing a great photo of that taken just as fist meets face. And yeah, I still think Lapierre’s a good guy for the team. I just hope he doesn’t really get a huge reputation for not answering the bell.

DK; Lapierre reminds me of days in the distant past when Bobby Clarke would start something then let his Goon squad clean up the mess he started . I used to despise the little weasel , he who also said it’s not his fault Roger Neilson got cancer & proceeded to let him go !! I hope Max has more integrity than that A–Hole . Another little goof was Bobby Schmauts , until Mario Trembley turned out his lights with a great right hander ! One punch it’s all over !
Les Canadiens Sont La !!!

Dis John – These are good points. The only thing that bothers me about the whole Lapierre thing is that it seems he’s getting this reputation around the league. That’s all, and I’m not crazy about this. I also get very sick of listening to McGuire. Know-it-alls always did rub me the wrong way.

I have seen Lapierre fight but I don’t think that’s a big part of his game. In a close game do you reataliate and end up with the only penalty? Maybe that wasn’t part of his thinking but here’s another thought, why is it okay for Lucy to walk away from dropping them with BGL? Is that a double standard because lets face it Lucy will only fight guys his size or smaller? What’s McGuire’s position on a guy who plays that style but won’t drop the gloves against all commers?

Hey Dennis, I’m fine. Thanks for shipping Ryder to us at $4M! Yikes, he better start hitting the back of the net soon. Too bad, because when he gets going, it’ll be on for sure. I’m ready to rip a few more hairs off of Coach Julien to show him I mean business.

Sister Nancy was sending you photos of us at the game, so look for those soon.

Stay well, mon ami.
