If I were to overhear an in-depth interview with new Canadiens’ coach Jacques Martin, this is what I might hear:
“I like walks in the park, chinese food, children, animals, flowers, sitting on the porch on rainy days, picnics with my family, and beating the ever-loving shit out of the Boston Bruins.”
“I love music, poetry, the smell [...]

Round one of the “Official Revamping Of The Montreal Canadiens” has taken place with Bob Gainey’s announcement of the hiring of Jacques Martin as coach of the Habs and the releasing of goaltender coach Rollie Melanson. That’s round one. Now, only about ten rounds are left to go.
There’s also talk that Mario Tremblay will become an [...]

“There’s two very special organizations for me - Montreal and Colorado,” said Patrick Roy as he finally turned down the Avalanche’s offer to coach and possibly be general manager. So for now, Patrick will return to the Quebec Remparts.
Did he turn down Colorado’s offer because in his heart he wants to coach the Canadiens at [...]

The Hockey Central guys on Sportsnet were suggesting that Jacques Martin could be the next coach of the Habs. He’s been around, and he’s also bilingual, which seems to be of utmost importance.
But then Bill Watters summed it up by beautifully by asking why Montreal would bother with a guy like Martin who couldn’t win [...]

If I was an Ottawa Senators fan, I think I’d have a hard time watching the Montreal-Boston series, which the Bruins now lead three games to none and will soon put all of us out of our misery. Because if I was a Senators fan, I think it’d be a bummer knowing that Zdeno Charo once played in Ottawa [...]

It seemed like only last week, hell, it was only last week, when the Canadiens were on fire, fans were smiling, the wins were piling up. The Islanders were no match, either were the Leafs. Carey Price had found his game and was playing with poise and confidence. The big line of Koivu, Kovalev, and [...]

The theme for today is - You can’t win every game. The greatest of the great lost from time to time. Often, sometimes. And tonight, Montreal continued the tradition of losing from time to time. By losing to the Ottawa Senators.
Grrr. Shitfuck.
You could just feel something was missing tonight, and it was obvious what it [...]

Both Andrei Markov and Mathieu Schneider won’t play tonight against Ottawa but are expected to suit up tomorrow against New York. At least this is the information I stole from the Gazette. Not having these two defencemen in the lineup is never great but not the end of the world, as the Senators are an [...]

The burning question now, as the Habs prepare for the Ottawa Senators Monday evening, is what is the condition of Mathieu Schneider and Andrei Markov? Both left early from the Toronto game, and both are needed in a big way. Another huge understatement that I’m prone to coming up with from time to time.

Again, Carey Price played like the Carey Price we all know and love in Tuesday’s huge 4-1 win over the visiting Chicago Blackhawks, which means life is good in Habsland, for now, at least. The young goalie came within 12 minutes of grabbing a shutout, he stopped 28 of 29 shots, and he came through in a [...]
