Tom at the Ryan Coke Experience suggested I do this and I thought about it and decided it might be fun. He said I should watch games from the Montreal Canadiens Memorable Games 10 DVD set, and report on them like they were live and had just happened.
So, live, from the press box in 1960, the game.
LEAFS NO [...]

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 [...]

 I’ve added another Habs’ Group Two (1944-64)  Beehive photo, Paul Masnick, to my collection. All I’ve got to do now is find George Robertson, Frank King, Vern Kaiser and a few others, but it’s tough. The players who skated in the shadows of stars, the non-stars, are the rare and expensive ones when it comes to Beehives.
And who is Paul Masnick, [...]

Two legendary members of the Montreal Canadiens, Frank Selke Sr. and Bernie ‘Boom Boom’ Geoffrion pose in the old Montreal Forum in the early 1960’s.
Frank Selke left his longtime boss Conn Smythe and the Toronto Maple Leafs to join the Canadiens as managing director in 1946 and stayed with the Habs until his retirement in 1964. [...]

This came out in the Edmonton Journal, written by John MacKinnon, and it’s quite amazing. Somehow, some place, the TSN gang must have got together and dropped some acid. MacKinnon’s story is entitled…
“Habs’ Dream Team Falls Flat With Imagination Shackled”  
So, in honour of the Montreal Canadiens centenary, TSN has assembled the “Ultimate Canadiens Team,” and [...]

I wrote this at this time last year, and I’ll probably even put it back in next year.
 Like the title says, I don’t like the NHL All-Star game. I dislike the nonchalant approach, the smiles and friendliness among those who normally dislike each other and three days from now will be trying to send their new-found buddies through the glass face-first. I [...]

 
I’d say there’s a lot of things to smile about tonight. This solid 6-2 win over the NY Rangers had to be the Canadiens’ best game of the season. Everyone contributed, and although Alex Kovalev has now gone 15 games without a goal, he was effective and creative, and at least managed an assist.
 
From the beginning, when [...]

Jean Beliveau was in Vancouver this weekend and gave a really nice interview with The Province’s Jim Jamieson. I thought you might like it. 
 
Q: What does the 100th anniversary of the Canadiens mean to you?
A: I find myself to be very fortunate to be part of it; I’ve been with them since Oct. 3, [...]

   Last year I had nice, long chat on the phone with Doug Harvey Junior. He’s 58 now, and he told me great stories about how the Rocket, Moore, Beliveau and all the boys would come over to the house. He told me about going to games at the old Forum and having to wait with [...]
