Marc Bergevin says the the team is too small. Tomas Plekanec says it isn’t. I’ll settle this. They’re too small. But almost not. There are only two small guys on the Habs – Brian Gionta and David Desharnais, both standing at 5’7. They’re the two who make the team seem small. Without them, the subject [...]

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 [...]

In this corner, wearing the blue, white, and red trunks, standing  5’11′ and weighing 197 lbs, from Montreal Quebec……. Michel (Mike) Therrien! And in the other corner, wearing some kind of pink frilly thing, standing 6 ft. and weighing 205 pounds, (or 190 clean shaven), from Grostenquin France and Antigonish, Nova Scotia,…….Paul (the Walrus) MacLean! [...]

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 [...]

Time to dust off the great Annakin Slayd “Feels Like ’93″ to get things going. Mike Williamson suggested a few years ago that this tune should be an annual event here as the boys begin their charge, and I agree. You probably think I should be listening to Rudy Vallee and Al Jolson, but I [...]

Darth’s newest masterpiece is David Desharnais, which now joins his ever-growing gallery of exceptional works of art. Darth is a very talented dude, and it’s always my pleasure to post his remarkable creations. Desharnais’s a player who needs to pick things up a notch in this postseason. We need all hands on deck.

The Canadiens, with third period goals from Brendan Gallagher and a pair from David Desharnais, erase a 2-1 Jets lead, win the game 4-2, and secure the all-important home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs, which apparently starts on Tuesday. This, along with Rene Bourque scoring in the first, is what I [...]

It was as one-sided as can be, a 5-1 Habs romp over a lacklustre Buffalo team, and how nice it is to clinch a playoff spot with eight games still to go instead of on the last day of the season, which is what we’ve seen in the past. Just a great night for the [...]

Game day, with the Habs in Buffalo to meet a team on the outside looking in as far as a playoff spot goes. It’s also a team that has beaten Montreal the last three times they’ve met, so that nonsense has to come to a screeching halt. It’s going to be interesting for sure. Can [...]

When a team, any team, manages just four shots in the second period and a pathetic two in the third, they’re probably going to lose. Almost every time, I’ll bet. And the Canadiens did absolutely nothing to dispel this fact that I’m pretty confident in saying without having the all-important facts to back me up. [...]
