Biff, Bam, Boom

The Hockey News rated this November 10, 1996 bout between Philadelphia’s Ron Hextall and Toronto’s Felix Potvin as the best goalie fight of all time. Hextall, who was quite a hothead, was involved in several fights during his 13-year career in the NHL. Currently he’s employed as the VP and assistant GM of the Los [...]

Three’s Plenty

For the third straight game, the Canadiens looked tremendously ordinary and the starting goalie was pulled. So much for my previous pep talk. A total of eighteen pucks have found their way behind our two netminders during this three-game stretch, with last night being a 6-4 loss at the hands of the home town Pittsburgh [...]

White Gets Five

Ryan White has been dealt a five-game suspension by the league for his thump to the noggin of Flyers defenceman Kent Huskins. I have no problem with this. Firstly, it’s a head shot situation, which is unacceptable considering the amount of concussions we see. And secondly, the Canadiens don’t need a player who can lose [...]

A Night To Forget

When a team, any team, manages just four shots in the second period and a pathetic two in the third, they’re probably going to lose. Almost every time, I’ll bet. And the Canadiens did absolutely nothing to dispel this fact that I’m pretty confident in saying without having the all-important facts to back me up. [...]

Game Day

Game day, with the boys in the City of Slovenly Mugs. The Flyers have won two in a row and of course this needs to end. They have some injuries, including key guys Max Talbot with a broken leg and Daniel Briere suffering a concussion, and the Canadiens would love to win their fourth in [...]

Habs Handle Hurricanes

Max Pacioretty and gang take out the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 at the Bell Centre, and just like that, the Canadiens find themselves in the midst of yet another win streak, this time at three games and counting. To quote the late, great Jackie Gleason: “How sweet it is!” Montreal just hasn’t found themselves in dire [...]

Dick And Danny Do The Game

It’s the magical combination of Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin as the Habs and Flyers battle on May 16, 1976. Montreal would win 5-3 on this night, sweeping the Flyers to win their 19th Stanley Cup. Period one (30 min.) and period three (42 min) are included here, and we see the Cup awarded. Just [...]

Habs Roll Along

What a terrific bonus it is when the backup comes in for the ailing starter and wins both games, the second being a nice fat shutout. And what a bonus it is, after a young spark plug goes down with an injury, that another young spark plug carries on and helps get the team on [...]

The Hit On Gallagher

Sent over from Danno, the hit that caused the concussion. Gallagher apparently won’t play on Monday.

Another In The Win Column

I set my PVR to record the Habs-Flyers game, went to work, and avoided the computer and radio for hours so I wouldn’t know the score. I almost made it. A fellow I know drove his semi off the ferry later in the evening, opened his window and yelled at me, “Habs 4-1!” But I [...]
