Junior and the gang can skate all day and [...]

It was easy to be a fan of Bob Gainey when he played because he seemed to do everything right, in a blue-collar kind of way. He wasn’t flashy like teammates Guy Lafleur or Yvan Cournoyer, but he was an all-important piece of the puzzle on the world’s greatest team in the latter part of [...]

Because Danno and Derry took the time to read the latest post and comment while Super Bowl was on, I have decided to make them official assistant coaches of the Montreal Canadiens when I own the team.

I did my part, so don’t blame me. I put on my Rocket t-shirt. I brought out the three Habs rocks. And I of course went to look for some cold tablets in the kitchen.
But even I can’t help the Canadiens if they don’t help themselves. A 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins, with a [...]

Habs take it to the Penguins, 5-3.
It was a refreshing change to see the Canadiens win a game without needing Jaroslav Halak to win it for them. And although Halak played well once again, it was a trio of young Hamilton Bulldogs and a 33 year-old journeyman bus rider who set the tone, who combined [...]

When you look at the Pittsburgh-Montreal comparisons, you see similarities even though the Penguins sit in 4th place in the east with 71 points while Montreal has just scraped into 6th with a measly 60 points. In fact, looking at the numbers below you see that’s it’s Sid the Kid who makes the real difference, [...]

I’d heard about Ryan O’Byrne’s mother Lorelei passing away but I wanted to wait before I said something. I wanted the hockey game and the circus that goes with it long over because something like this doesn’t need to take second fiddle to anything. This is life and moms we’re talking about.
Ryan O’Byrne is 25 years old [...]

It was like a rerun of Tuesday’s Canucks game. Jaroslav Halak stopped 45 shots, including a slew of beauties, and the Habs skate away with an anxious 3-2 shootout win in Boston. It’s a beautiful thing, regardless of the wide margin in shots, 47-25, because the Habs rebounded from a 2-0 hole and stole two [...]

The following are excerpts from an article in Tuesday’s Vancouver Province, written by sports writer Gordon McIntyre. Big words from a guy whose favourite team hasn’t won a thing in 40 years of existence.
It’s titled “What Happened To Proud CH?” And subtitled “Habs are on downward slide, so will Canucks play down there too?”
“Maybe Roch [...]
