Tom at the Ryan Coke Experience suggested I do this and I thought about it and decided it might be fun. He said I should watch games from the Montreal Canadiens Memorable Games 10 DVD set, and report on them like they were live and had just happened.
So, live, from the press box in 1960, the game.

Get the popcorn out and enjoy parts one, two, and three of the Montreal Canadiens all-time dream team which included Toe Blake, Jacques Plante, Doug Harvey, Larry Robinson, Dickie Moore, Jean Beliveau, and the Rocket.

I’m not going to post the infamous video of Carey Price being interviewed by Cabbie after game one of the Boston series because I don’t want to infringe on the Score. But if you haven’t seen it, you should. Just type in Carey Price/Cabbie on youtube and see for yourself.
This interview is extremely telling of a young [...]

Two legendary members of the Montreal Canadiens, Frank Selke Sr. and Bernie ‘Boom Boom’ Geoffrion pose in the old Montreal Forum in the early 1960’s.
Frank Selke left his longtime boss Conn Smythe and the Toronto Maple Leafs to join the Canadiens as managing director in 1946 and stayed with the Habs until his retirement in 1964. [...]

                                                                                                                                  When I was about 13, I took a bus from Orillia to Montreal with a friend to see the Canadiens for my first time. It was the original Forum before it was renovated in 1968, and I remember there were pillars thoughout that caused obstructed views and I remember thinking that I was glad I wasn’t [...]

 
Who is Miss Lee Dillon? And how did she come to cover the Canadiens during the 1956-57 season?
 
Was she there a few years earlier in March of 1955 when the Richard Riot happened?
 
Did she interview Henri Richard when he broke in with the Habs a year earlier?
 
Did she share knitting tips with Jacques Plante?
 
Did Boom Boom sing to [...]

What can be said about Montreal’s 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes?
 
It can be said that it’s the Canadiens third straight loss, for example and this has turned into a horrendous slump.
It can be said they played fairly well and had their chances.
Guillaume Latendresse scored a much-needed goal on a penalty shot.
And Alex Kovalev finally notched one, [...]

So it was one thing that I was flatly turned down in my application this summer to be a flag guy before a game at the Bell Centre. I accepted that. But what the heck was wrong with letting me be one of those dozen or so goalies who skated out for the Patrick Roy ceremony? Before [...]

A guest writer delves into the ‘Patrick Roy’s sweater being retired’ saga.

“Pro sports are sexy for a variety of reasons, but perhaps their most attractive quality is that they are so readily apprehended. Things are pretty straightforward, excluding the usual geeky obsession with stats - God bless The Schwab, a brilliant trivia geek, but [...]
