The Habs are gone, and for now……… No more P.K. Subban wheeling around and rushing like a man possessed, or blasting a missile from the point, or sailing across the ice, fired up, in the moment, to level an oncoming enemy. No more Brendan Gallagher crashing the net, standing firm as bigger opponents try to [...]

That’s that. Habs gone after five games, losing 6-1 to the Ottawa Senators, and now what are we supposed to do? Cheer for another team? It’s a game of inches, and if Colby Armstrong had hit the back of the net instead of the post on a shorthanded breakaway, the boys would have tied it [...]

Brian Gionta has a torn bicep muscle, will undergo surgery on Friday, and that’s it for him. So Kevin Weekes was dead-on when he said recently on HNIC that this would happen. It’s the same sort of thing Gionta did last year. The team also said that Brandon Prust and Ryan White would sit out [...]

This one hurts. Big time. It was going to be a big win and it slipped away. The Canadiens blew a 2-0 lead and lost in overtime 3-2. With Ottawa’s tying goal coming with the goalie pulled and just 23 seconds remaining on the clock. It caps a lousy day that began at 5 a.m. [...]

The series is all even now, with the Canadiens beating the Ottawa Senators 3-1, and it was they way they won it that tugs at the heart strings. Unless you’re a Sens fan of course. Carey Price bounced back and was splendid throughout. Just when we were ready to ship him off to Palookaville. Rene [...]

Brandon Prust calling Senators coach Paul MacLean a bug-eyed fat walrus isn’t called for. I feel it’s a slap in the face to the walrus. Yes, walrus’ are overweight and have whiskers, but they’re not nearly as homely as MacLean. Are you kidding? Not even close. Trim your freaking mustache, coach. Lose some weight. Do [...]

And now we wait. We wait to see how Lars Eller is after being being leveled by Eric Gryba. We wait until Friday night to see if the Canadiens can come out of this with a split before moving up the highway to Ottawa. We wait to see if Carey Price can step it up [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

It began with a Toronto power play goal and ended three shots later, when Carey Price was yanked and the score was 3-0 Leafs after just ten minutes of the first period. Three goals on four shots, and if that doesn’t deflate a hockey team nothing will. The Habs were playing decent hockey, it was [...]
