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 [...]

Mike M. In Tampa

Mike McKim was in Tampa Bay on Saturday night to witness the Habs’ big three-goal rally in the third period to beat the Lightning 4-3, and as you can see, he was as close as close can be. A big thanks to him for sending these pics along. Mike writes: “Normally I don’t like sitting down low, [...]

Character Comeback In Tampa

The Canadiens held Tampa Bay to just two shots in the third period and fought back from a 3-1 deficit with three unanswered goals to keep the tricolour train a rollin’. A big 4-3 comeback win. What a team this year. It’s amazing. One of the biggest reasons the Habs have turned it around is [...]

Habs In Sunshine State

The Habs were just in the state of Florida not even a month ago, and at that time they beat Tampa 4-3 in a shootout Third Period Implosion to open things up, then zipped over to the opposite coast and squeaked out a 1-0 win over the Panthers in overtime Bourque and Galchenyuk Get ‘Er [...]

Habs Withstand Hurricanes

A decent first period, an extremely lousy second, and then a decent third allows the Canadiens to skate away with a 4-2 win in Raleigh, and when all was said and done, it was Carey Price coming through when needed. Price was solid throughout, it’s two big points for his team to remain in the [...]

Penguins Waddle In

Saturday, and it’s wet out. There’s a reason why Powell River is so clean. Old Ma Nature likes to wash it. It’s also game day for the Habs, with the Penguins in town and no Evgeny Malkin to contend with. But of course there’s the kid from Cole Harbour who needs to be corralled. Sidney [...]

Another 3rd Period Implosion

Habs 4, Tampa Bay 3, in a shootout. I don’t care. I’ll take the win. No matter how it happened. Up until the 14:04 mark of the third period, I was mostly concerned with whether or not Carey Price would record a shutout. Then the Lightning scored. Then I became concerned that Tampa Bay might [...]

Sunday Blues

Maybe there really is something to what was first reported a month ago, on Jan. 11th. in the Gazette, when Erik Cole said he might be retiring sooner than expected Cole Says This Could Be his Last. And although, as Montreal radio host Mitch Melnick has pointed out in a recent piece, Cole is a [...]

A Night To Forget

Montreal, on goals by Frick, Frack, Friggin, Freakin, and Sprague Cleghorn, lose to the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-0 at home, which reinforces my theory that players shouldn’t have any kind of home life during hockey season. They should live at the Y.M.C.A. all winter and eat Jello and liver, surrounded by guys who hack their [...]
