The Habs are gone, and for now……… No more P.K. Subban wheeling around and rushing like a man possessed, or blasting a missile from the point, or sailing across the ice, fired up, in the moment, to level an oncoming enemy. No more Brendan Gallagher crashing the net, standing firm as bigger opponents try to [...]

That’s that. Habs gone after five games, losing 6-1 to the Ottawa Senators, and now what are we supposed to do? Cheer for another team? It’s a game of inches, and if Colby Armstrong had hit the back of the net instead of the post on a shorthanded breakaway, the boys would have tied it [...]

Backs against the wall. It ain’t over till it’s over. One shift at a time. One game at a time. There’s no tomorrow. Pull out all the stops. Pedal to the metal. Do or die. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. As P.K. Subban says, “We can beat these guys. We’re better.” And [...]

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. [...]

Remember that intensity the Canadiens brought to game two? The Senators borrowed it for game three. 6-1 Ottawa. &%$%# The Habs lost the game and the ridiculous fights, and Carey Price waved at Ottawa’s third goal which woke up his critics throughout the land, and even though I hate to come up with excuses, the [...]

The series is all even now, with the Canadiens beating the Ottawa Senators 3-1, and it was they way they won it that tugs at the heart strings. Unless you’re a Sens fan of course. Carey Price bounced back and was splendid throughout. Just when we were ready to ship him off to Palookaville. Rene [...]

Brandon Prust calling Senators coach Paul MacLean a bug-eyed fat walrus isn’t called for. I feel it’s a slap in the face to the walrus. Yes, walrus’ are overweight and have whiskers, but they’re not nearly as homely as MacLean. Are you kidding? Not even close. Trim your freaking mustache, coach. Lose some weight. Do [...]

And now we wait. We wait to see how Lars Eller is after being being leveled by Eric Gryba. We wait until Friday night to see if the Canadiens can come out of this with a split before moving up the highway to Ottawa. We wait to see if Carey Price can step it up [...]

Darth’s newest masterpiece is David Desharnais, which now joins his ever-growing gallery of exceptional works of art. Darth is a very talented dude, and it’s always my pleasure to post his remarkable creations. Desharnais’s a player who needs to pick things up a notch in this postseason. We need all hands on deck.

My heart is soaring like a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck. 4-1 Habs over that despicable team in Toronto. A statement sent that says speed, skill, and hard work prevail, and just because his team is “bigger and stronger” as Joffrey Lupul tweeted, it doesn’t mean a thing if a big portion of the team are lumbering oafs.
