It’s A Beautiful Day!

I’m in a good mood. A great mood. I feel like whistling. The sun is shining brightly, birds are singing, I had a good sleep, and my porridge tasted terrific. I hope you have a wonderful day too. You deserve it. I also hope the Ottawa Senators crash and burn and suck and get blown [...]

And It Slipped Away

This one hurts. Big time. It was going to be a big win and it slipped away. The Canadiens blew a 2-0 lead and lost in overtime 3-2. With Ottawa’s tying goal coming with the goalie pulled and just 23 seconds remaining on the clock. It caps a lousy day that began at 5 a.m. [...]

From Then To Now

Below are the final standings from last year. Notice how Montreal, 15th in the east, ended with a feeble 78 points after 82 games. This year they sit at 59 points after just 46 games. The Rangers last year ended in first place. This year they’re in the 8th spot, with the Winnipeg Jets breathing [...]

Markov And Price Babblings

Andrei Markov has been announced as Montreal’s nomination for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, given each year to a player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication. This means that the cabinet space the Vezina was going to take up could now be used for the Masterton! You see how things work [...]

They’ll Send Chills Up Your Spine

Are you strong enough to sit through these? Can your heart take it? You’ve been warned. Chernoble Diaries A group of wholesome American students visit Chernoble twenty-five years after the deadly meltdown, and find themselves stuck in the god-forsaken place when their car battery somehow becomes dead. Horror ensues as a hideous half-man, half-monster, created [...]

A Much-Needed Win By Canadiens

It wasn’t perfect, not by any stretch, but the Canadiens right the ship slightly by edging the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2, and for now at least, thing’s are back to where we want them. In the win column. Is there any other place? It’s a nice combination – winning with Carey Price being one of [...]

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 [...]

Game Day

Game day, with the boys in Pittsburgh to tackle the Penguins, a team that has several good players, although the names escape me just now. Peter Budaj gets the call, and that’s fine. He’s been a nice surprise this year. But the team in front of him has to show up. Unlike the last two [...]

One Writer’s Trophy Candidates

Because there’s been talk of certain Canadiens possibly grabbing hardware at season’s end, I’ve wondered who else around the league might be in the thick of things in different categories, and how professional writers might view some of the Habs who have a shot. So it was interesting to see how Jim Jamieson of the [...]
