To everyone here and on Facebook, Twitter, and Hockey Inside Out, I’d like to say thank you so much for your well-wishes on our upcoming move to Montreal. It’s a big chapter about to begin for Luci and I. I even saw the little wooden bastard Gaston shed a tear, but I think it was [...]

Gordie Howe was in Montreal for an Eaton’s appearance tour in the 1970′s, and while there he did a T.V. taping session with singer Anne Murray. The taping was at the Forum, and Anne wore Howe’s sweater while Howe wore John Ferguson’s. Murray was quoted in Gerry Patterson’s book “Behind The Superstars” as saying to [...]

It took awhile, 50 years in fact, but I finally saw a game at Dodgers Stadium. Talk about crossing something off the bucket list. When I was a kid I thought Los Angeles was just one big ‘Leave It To Beaver’ set, with peaceful, crime-free and clean streets, where bikini-clad Annette Funicello-types danced around bongo-playing [...]

The Washington Capitals are done after losing to the Rangers 2-1 in the seventh game, and you have to think that Alex Ovechkin will probably go his whole career without winning a Stanley Cup. He’s won just about every award a forward could win, but there might never be the Big One. That’s because the [...]

It’s taken the Los Angeles Kings only nine games to remove the Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues from the playoff picture, and when is it going to get hard for them? If they keep going like this, the major studios will come calling. I’ve decided that I’m hoping the Kings go all the way. They’re the one NHL [...]

Elmer Lach and the Rocket, looking for that pitch down the middle, the one they can drive deep into centre field. The 2012 Major League Baseball season is firing up , and I think I say it every year, but geez I miss the Expos.

The Canadiens fall 4-1 in Manhattan, and that’s fine. The enthusiasm and edge-of-the-seat experience of watching the Habs was sucked out of me, and I’m sure you, long before tonight. They were outplayed by a better team, and as a coup de grace of the whole ridiculous situation, Andrei Markov may have injured a knee again. Only this [...]

A game needed, a game lost. The Canadiens fall 3-1 to the New Jersey Devils, and once again, for too many nights to fathom, not everyone wearing the CH seemed to give their all. The hole the boys are sinking into is inching closer to China. The New Jersey Devils, for the most part, threw [...]

Above are ticket stubs from times I saw Gary Carter play when he was a Montreal Expo. I’ve always loved baseball and was a big Expos fan, and I remember and miss those days when Carter was catching for them and gunning out runners at second and nailing guys napping at first base. He was an Expo for 12 years ending [...]
