I really wanted to put up something regarding the upcoming entry draft, but to be honest, there are way too many folks out there who know much more about these young fellows than I do. So I wondered, how am I going to do this? Wouldn’t it be great if I could rely on someone [...]

 If you have number six of Les Canadiens magazine from the 1991-92 season, then you have a small story about me.
I was in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in 1991, right at the time the Soviet Union was falling apart, a mind-blowing and historic time to be sure, and I was visiting a bunch of serious Habs fans [...]

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Sitting out the Stanley Cup playoffs wasn’t something Saku Koivuhad in mind when he signed on with the Ducks as a free agent last summer after a long run as the face of the Montreal Canadiens.
That wasn’t the plan. The plan was to [...]

I’m talking about this today because even though it doesn’t matter a hill of beans for you, it’s big for me. If you don’t mind.
I was on Vancouver Island today, in Courtenay, visiting an eye specialist because although I don’t want to get into any details because you have much better things to do than [...]

Holy shit.
For 58 minutes the Canadiens were dead ducks. Losing 3-1. Game over. Get the hell out of California and drag back two lousy points with you.
But a hockey game is 60 minutes, and in the end, we sit back and wonder what just happened, because when the dust had settled, the Canadiens were 4-3 shootout winners.
Holy [...]

For most of my life I watched hockey games in the east at what I thought was an absolutely normal time – 7 or 7:30 in the evening. 
Then I moved out west and now the games are on at 4 or 4:30. And this seems absolutely normal.
Now, with the Habs in California, these 7 and [...]

There was a lot of clutching and grabbing tonight. And then her and I decided to watch the hockey game.
And in this game, some very good things came to pass. The Habs took out the Bruins in a 4-1 workmanlike, no-frills-type fashion. The big guns remained quiet except for Benoit Pouliot, who found the middle of [...]

With all the talk leading up to the Canada-Switzerland game about the surprising 2-0 upset win by the Swiss four years ago in Turin, I was a nervous cat. That loss was the beginning of the end for the Canadians in which they finished an embarrassing seventh spot in those Olympic games and no way did [...]

Montreal signed Marc-Andre Bergeron today to help shore up the hurting blueline.
This is a guy with a wicked shot, is a good, rushing defenceman, but has in the past been dealt a few times for lower draft picks. He was also unsigned after having a good year in Minnesota last season. What does all this mean?
He’s also [...]
