My heart is soaring like a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck. 4-1 Habs over that despicable team in Toronto. A statement sent that says speed, skill, and hard work prevail, and just because his team is “bigger and stronger” as Joffrey Lupul tweeted, it doesn’t mean a thing if a big portion of the team are lumbering oafs. [...]

Andrei Markov has been announced as Montreal’s nomination for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, given each year to a player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication. This means that the cabinet space the Vezina was going to take up could now be used for the Masterton! You see how things work [...]

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 [...]

For the third straight game, the Canadiens looked tremendously ordinary and the starting goalie was pulled. So much for my previous pep talk. A total of eighteen pucks have found their way behind our two netminders during this three-game stretch, with last night being a 6-4 loss at the hands of the home town Pittsburgh [...]

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 [...]

Max Pacioretty and gang take out the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 at the Bell Centre, and just like that, the Canadiens find themselves in the midst of yet another win streak, this time at three games and counting. To quote the late, great Jackie Gleason: “How sweet it is!” Montreal just hasn’t found themselves in dire [...]

It’s hard to know how to begin. I’m still in a big of a daze after seeing how the latest Habs and Bruins affair transpired. It’s all quite unbelievable, and because I’ve now turned the dial to the blues channel, I can’t hear the many excuses Bruins coach Claude Julien will come up with as [...]

Four straight. Top of the pops. And if it isn’t one guy helping out in a big way, it’s another. Habs win 4-3 in a shootout with Ottawa after blowing a 3-1 lead, but a couple of guys checked in from start to finish and did what others do on other nights. Helped their team [...]

Mike McKim was in Tampa Bay on Saturday night to witness the Habs’ big three-goal rally in the third period to beat the Lightning 4-3, and as you can see, he was as close as close can be. A big thanks to him for sending these pics along. Mike writes: “Normally I don’t like sitting down low, [...]

Two goals and an assist for Michael Ryder as he and his Canadiens hand the Florida Panthers a 5-2 smacking, and the first-place squad finishes off a highly successful five-game road trip losing only once along the way. And although he didn’t exactly have to overextend himself on this night, Peter Budaj has now won [...]
