Price Finally On Dotted Line

It’s been announced that Carey Price has signed a two-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens for an undisclosed amount, and finally that one lingering and nagging question of when he would ink his name on a new deal can finally be put to bed. Now we can get down to the business of waiting to see who [...]

Truck Drivin’ Man

For 20 years I drove tractor trailers throughout eastern Ontario and western Quebec, into lovely towns with lovely names like Cobden and Papineauville and Kazabazua. Later it became big chunks of Alberta where I would roll through Red Deer or down into Pincher Creek and Crowsnest Pass, or over to Banff and beyond.  It was delivering groceries to big and small stores [...]

It’s Very Simple For Carey Price; Just Earn It

Talk is swirling gently in the breeze that Carey Price and his agent have a figure of three million dollars stuck in their brains and don’t feel like signing for less. I hope he gets it. But he’d better earn it if he does. Employers aren’t all that crazy about giving raises to employees who don’t deserve it. [...]

Big Jean 79 Years Young

On August 31, 1931, a baby boy was born in Trois Rivieres, Quebec, and he was the classiest baby in the entire hospital. In his brief stay there with his mom, this little baby was the leader of babies, helping them calm down after a crying session, gently reminding each of them that it was okay to let [...]

Makes Me Proud That Molsons Owns The Team

Here’s where we stand. We’re still in the dog days with another five weeks before Carey Price starts standing on his head and the team begins to collect an amazing amount of points in the standings. I’m on a day off and plan on eating lemon pudding and watching American Justice. So what do I do [...]

He’s A Poet And A Painter

Danno, who should be spending his free time finding world peace and a cure for the common cold, has been doodling instead and has come up with this little creation that suits me just fine. So I’ve decided that when I own the team, I decree that this little crest will be sewn on the shoulders of the players’ jerseys [...]

The Old Man And The CH

My wife works at an old folks home and one day she noticed that an 80 year old fellow named Yvan had Habs coasters on his table in his room.  So she asked him if he was a Montreal Canadien fan and he said yes indeed, he’s been one all his life. The two of them chatted about [...]

A Minute In The Life Of A Stick Boy

“Try this one Rocket, it might have a couple of goals in it.” “Thanks Dennis, you’ve never steered me wrong before. You’re the best stick boy I’ve ever seen.”

Great For Habs Fans…Not So Great Elsewhere

The summer of 1965 was a fine time for Habs fans. The team had captured the Stanley Cup that spring by beating the Chicago Black Hawks four games to three, and Jean Beliveau became the very first winner of the Conn Smythe trophy for playoff MVP. Joyfully, at least for Habs fans, the team would win the Cup again in the [...]
