Indeed it’s sad when a good warrior and captain such as Saku Koivu is finished as a Montreal Canadien and will carry on elsewhere. We all loved and appreciated what he did for the team and city as a great player and a man who gave his time and money to hospitals and sick kids and other organizations.
But I [...]

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 [...]

In the aftermath of the NHL Awards show from Las Vegas, I’d like to say this. The show stunk. It was one of the most amateurish, rough, and thrown-together events in recent memory. Replace the producer and get a real one for next year.
There was lack of polish from any of the so-called hosts. Michael Buble was [...]

Years ago, before the National Hockey League became the Wall Street-watching, unionized, big ticket machine it is today, teams of the original six would often spend part of their pre-season playing various senior teams that usually belonged to the big club, in smaller towns in smaller rinks throughout the country. The Montreal Canadiens, for example, would take their [...]

My grandson, Cameron, will be having his first birthday in September, and he needs these boots to get him through those lousy Calgary winters. His dad says baby will grow up to be a Flames fan, and I’m having a lot of trouble dealing with this. A Flames fan? What is that?  
Cameron needs to be a Canadiens [...]

From CBC Sports
Hockey legend Beliveau to receive honorary doctorate
 
Legendary Montreal Canadiens player and Hall of Famer Jean Beliveau will receive an honorary doctorate from Toronto’s Ryerson University.
The Quebec native captained the Canadiens for 10 of the 20 seasons he played in Montreal through the 1950s and 60s, won 10 Stanley Cups and was twice recognized [...]

Get the popcorn out and enjoy parts one, two, and three of the Montreal Canadiens all-time dream team which included Toe Blake, Jacques Plante, Doug Harvey, Larry Robinson, Dickie Moore, Jean Beliveau, and the Rocket. And as a special bonus that’ll make you laugh and touch your heart, 83 year old Aurele Joliat comes out in [...]

In response to the nonsense spewed by a Detroit writer regarding the city of Montreal, the Montreal Canadiens, and fans of the team. I don’t really want him to give any more exposure than he already has, but I need to post the link so I can reply to it. Here it is, for what’s it’s worth: Montreal Morons
Now [...]

Sandy and some of my other co-workers throng around me, wanting to know what my sign is and what my next post will be about. I’ve always got time for the girls at BC Ferries.

Yes, they lost 4-3 to the New Yorkers. And yes, this isn’t good. But at least they got a point. And there were a few good things to focus on. Like Alex Kovalev playing quite well except for those times when he was a puck hog.
Then there was that move by Maxim Lapierre to tie [...]
