Balsillie Thwarted. And If I Can’t Own The Habs, Then Somebody Good Should

The Jim Balsillie/Phoenix Coyotes/Hamilton saga may or may not be dead, Judge Rejects Balsillie, but the beat goes on in Montreal. 
I don’t care who buys the Montreal Canadiens, as long as he or she or they, are honest, non-meddling, upstanding folk who understand the history and the importance of the Montreal Canadiens, maintain and continue the great tradition, don’t [...]

Pssst. I’m Buying The Habs. Keep It Under Your Hat

Because so many of you clicked on the ads on the side of this site, plus me getting in quite a bit of overtime lately at work, I now have enough money, 400 million, to buy the Montreal Canadiens from George Gillett. This of course will include the Bell Centre, where I will be living, [...]

For Price, Who Cares?

I’m not going to post the infamous video of Carey Price being interviewed by Cabbie after game one of the Boston series because I don’t want to infringe on the Score. But if you haven’t seen it, you should. Just type in Carey Price/Cabbie on youtube and see for yourself.
This interview is extremely telling of a young [...]

Canadiens Can’t Get It Done Against This Solid Bruins Squad

If I was an Ottawa Senators fan, I think I’d have a hard time watching the Montreal-Boston series, which the Bruins now lead three games to none and will soon put all of us out of our misery. Because if I was a Senators fan, I think it’d be a bummer knowing that Zdeno Charo once played in Ottawa [...]

Canadiens Lose To The Sabres. But Everything’s Fine.

A loss is never a good thing. It kind of goes without saying. So Montreal losing 4-3 to Buffalo in a shootout isn’t a good thing.
But fans at the Bell Centre sure got their money’s worth. There was on-ice nastiness, hard hits, chirping, and good goaltending, especially by Buffalo’s Ryan Miller. Montreal’s big line of Koivu, Kovalev, and [...]

Habs Finally Win Big

I’m not going to gush about the Canadiens big 6-3 win over the Atlanta Thrashers Tuesday. But I’m adamant that the Stanley Cup parade route should make its way down Ste. Catherines past what’s left of the old Forum. I feel it’s only right.
It didn’t start out well for the Habs. Atlanta had more three-on-ones [...]

You’re Damn Right It’s Impossible

From the Montreal Gazette
Habs Leave Montreal? “Impossible” Mayor Says

Montreal Mayor Gérald Tremblay says it doesn’t matter who owns the Canadiens so long as its remembered that the team is, in fact, the property of Montrealers.
“What’s important is that we be very vigilant about the discussions that are going on presently,” he said Monday, referring the [...]

You Don’t Need To Be Reminded About The Game

Dave in Jersey asked me not to write a post-game report. No one needs to be reminded of what transpired at the Bell Centre tonight. So in view of this, because of my great respect for Dave, there will be no post-game report.
I would like to mention though, that I think the boys should go [...]

Canadiens Outshot Badly In Loss. Wow, What A Surprise.

I got in the door after driving 3000 kms. in three days, in time to see the third period of the Habs-Devils game. I saw a fast-skating, back-and-forth type game as I should. After all, hockey’s billed as the world’s fastest game, isn’t it? But what I didn’t see were shots on goal by the home team [...]
