Game Day, With The Caps In Town

It’s game number 45 tonight for the Canadiens, with the Washington Capitals paying a visit to the Bell Centre, and of course the team needs to continue to build off their decent if unspectacular last-minute win over the Lightning on Thursday. A lousy game for the Habs will mean the slump isn’t ended, and it’s [...]

A Much-Needed Win By Canadiens

It wasn’t perfect, not by any stretch, but the Canadiens right the ship slightly by edging the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2, and for now at least, thing’s are back to where we want them. In the win column. Is there any other place? It’s a nice combination – winning with Carey Price being one of [...]

One Writer’s Trophy Candidates

Because there’s been talk of certain Canadiens possibly grabbing hardware at season’s end, I’ve wondered who else around the league might be in the thick of things in different categories, and how professional writers might view some of the Habs who have a shot. So it was interesting to see how Jim Jamieson of the [...]

Game Day

It’s game day, the Washington Capitals are in town, and this is a team that must be feeling good about themselves right now. The Caps are 6-0-1 in their last seven contests, and are being led by the guy many, including myself, thought had seen better days – Alex Ovechkin. According to the Capitals’ website [...]

Crosby-Talk

It’s been a few days now since Sidney Crosby took a puck in the face in which he lost some teeth and had his jaw broken, and I’ve been thinking about it a fair amount since it happened. For one thing, with a couple of chicklets nestled on his jersey and the painful look on [...]

Make My Day And Stay

Ilya Kovalchuk, Alex Ovechkin, Sergei Kostitsyn, Pavel Datsyuk and a few other Russians are now saying they might just stay in Russia. Are you feeling bad about this? Nobody forced these guys to come to North America, and when they did come, the vaults were opened and they dove in head first, drooling and panting. [...]

Linden In Powell River

Trevor Linden is coming to Powell River on Oct. 19 to give a speech at the theatre, then head on down to the rink to meet the local junior team, the Kings, and drop the puck before their clash with Cowichan Valley. His timing can’t be worse. The day before he comes, the Habs are [...]

Semin Helps Out

Denis Brel in St. Petersburg has written a fine piece about what Alexander Semin is up to in Russia. So I’m just going to put my feet up and let my terrific stepson take it away. Many thanks to Denis in “The City that Peter Built.” By Denis Brel – Alexander Semin signed with the [...]

Babbling After The Cheez Whiz

You haven’t asked but I’ll tell you anyway. I’ve got time after polishing off my cheez whiz on Russian rye and lemon drink concoction that is supposed to be healthy and kills enemy cells but I really have no idea. Would I like to see Alex Ovechkin play for the Habs? No. But I’d take Evgeny Malkin or Ilya [...]

Caps Capped

The Washington Capitals are done after losing to the Rangers 2-1 in the seventh game, and you have to think that Alex Ovechkin will probably go his whole career without winning a Stanley Cup. He’s won just about every award a forward could win, but there might never be the Big One. That’s because the [...]
