Mike Komisarek has signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Good. Toronto can have him.
So many teams were interested in signing him. How come? He was one of the Canadiens’ worst defencemen last season. He has no idea what to do with the puck. He doesn’t score goals. He got pummelled by Milan Lucic. He made [...]

Although I think Bob Gainey is an intelligent, thoughtful man, I’m here to set him straight.
Gainey says Canadien fans should be a patient bunch. Doesn’t he realize who he’s talking to here?
You want patience? We haven’t won the cup since 1993. That’s about a hundred years ago.
We’re not Toronto Maple Leafs fans, Bob. They haven’t seen [...]

Round one of the “Official Revamping Of The Montreal Canadiens” has taken place with Bob Gainey’s announcement of the hiring of Jacques Martin as coach of the Habs and the releasing of goaltender coach Rollie Melanson. That’s round one. Now, only about ten rounds are left to go.
There’s also talk that Mario Tremblay will become an [...]

Just to recap:
PK Subban has signed a three-year deal with Montreal.
Pittsburgh blows out Washington 6-2 in the most anticipated game of the year.
Pittsburgh will play the winner of Boston-Carolina.
The Canucks again disappoint their fans as Roberto Luongo is less than great in the series-ending game against Chicago.
No, I don’t have swine flu.
Canada lost to Russia [...]

What the hell’s going on? It’s been more than ten days now, and not one bit of malicious, nutty, silly, dangerous, disturbing, crazy, possibly true, rumour mill madness from the Canadiens’ camp.
Oh, RDS is saying that Larry Robinson might be interested in the coaching job, but that’s pretty well it. I don’t get it. There’s [...]

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’ situation far from a lost cause
April 24, 2009 02:00 AM | Posted by   Elliotte Friedman

It’s some of the best advice I’ve ever received: Never make important decisions in overly emotional moments. Right now, everyone in the Montreal organization should listen.
Take a step back, really think things through, and don’t make any major [...]

We sat in a sports bar in Redding, California, waiting for the game to start, when in walked the two fellows we met in Oregon, one who proudly wears the shirt and hat of the Montreal Canadiens, and his son. And at exactly 4:10 Pacific time, the bartender told us he can’t get the game [...]

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 [...]
