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 [...]

Like so many other teams, and there’s about six of them, the Carolina Hurricanes are hovering around the eighth and final playoff spot. So they’re going to want to win the game tonight at the Bell Centre. Of course, wanting, and actually doing, are two different things. Carolina has won just one game in their [...]

On one hand it was a very solid 3-0 win over the New York Rangers. On the other it wasn’t, because Carey Price simply shone in goal and came up with a handful of amazing stops to stop any flow or momentum the visiting Rangers tried to muster. But all in all, it was full [...]

It’s been reported that Tomas Kaberle has been placed on waivers, and is there anyone out there who might be surprised by this? Kaberle was a decent player when he was a Toronto Maple Leaf, where he spent 12 seasons, and whether or not Boston and Carolina fans were happy with him, I’m not sure. [...]

A decent first period, an extremely lousy second, and then a decent third allows the Canadiens to skate away with a 4-2 win in Raleigh, and when all was said and done, it was Carey Price coming through when needed. Price was solid throughout, it’s two big points for his team to remain in the [...]

Montreal can beat a lot of teams. Just not the New York Islanders. And thus ends the lovely eleven-game point streak. The Canadiens had clawed back from a 3-1 deficit to even the score, and then it all just slipped away like those dew worms we’d try to grab on the front lawn in late [...]

What a terrific bonus it is when the backup comes in for the ailing starter and wins both games, the second being a nice fat shutout. And what a bonus it is, after a young spark plug goes down with an injury, that another young spark plug carries on and helps get the team on [...]

I set my PVR to record the Habs-Flyers game, went to work, and avoided the computer and radio for hours so I wouldn’t know the score. I almost made it. A fellow I know drove his semi off the ferry later in the evening, opened his window and yelled at me, “Habs 4-1!” But I [...]

Carey Price has the flu, which means Peter Budaj will be between the pipes tonight against Philadelphia. Maybe Budaj will sparkle. Maybe he’ll stone the Flyers. We’re ready for a big night from the backup. This is a winnable game to be sure. The Flyers haven’t exactly been burning things up, as they currently sit [...]

If you have anything else going on right now, don’t bother to read this post. It’s quite stupid. If Montreal can beat Washington, Washington will continue to have zero points, as will Philadelphia if they lose to the Rangers tonight. Montreal will have 4 points, the same as Toronto if the Leafs can lose to [...]
