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. [...]

The Canadiens, with third period goals from Brendan Gallagher and a pair from David Desharnais, erase a 2-1 Jets lead, win the game 4-2, and secure the all-important home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs, which apparently starts on Tuesday. This, along with Rene Bourque scoring in the first, is what I [...]

Game day – in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A big game for both clubs. The Jets are on the bubble for the eighth and final playoff spot, and the Habs…..well…..you know. So it’s gonna be a beauty. Unless Montreal falls behind 3-0 in the first, and in that case, it’s time for a lynching maybe. Jarrod Tinordi [...]

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 [...]

It was yet another loss, a 3-2 falling to the New Jersey Devils, and although Carey Price played better and the team as a whole showed some slight improvement, it still wasn’t enough to make most of us feel better. The Canadiens fell behind in a big way, as they’ve done so often lately, and [...]

There’s nothing I can say or add to what’s already been said everywhere regarding the Habs-Bruins game tonight. We know it’s a big game for both, we know the Bruins will be degenerate sloths, and we know Carey Price needs to be sharp. And I don’t wish serious injury to any of the Bruins. Just [...]

The Canadiens once again showed what they’re made of, rebounding from a sub-par showing in Philadelphia, and winning 4-1 Thursday night against the Jets in front of a happy crowd at the Bell Centre. And such splendid feel good moments to go along with this important and satisfying win. Peter Budaj played in front of [...]

From start to finish, the Habs and Winnipeg Jets gave us a humdinger, with just about everything thrown in – goals, pucks off goalposts, fights, nastiness, great plays, close calls, a see-saw battle. and the G-Force rising fans out of their seats. And in the end, Canadiens win 4-3, their fourth straight and the fourth [...]

For the next three Habs games, including tonight’s contest against Winnipeg, tomorrow’s trek to Ottawa, and Saturday’s hosting of the Buffalo Sabres, my game posts will come slightly later, like around midnight instead of immediately following the games. It’s because I have to be at a certain place – work. People don’t stop using the [...]

Isn’t it fun when you see an honest, hard-working, hard-skating team like we’ve seen so far from this year’s edition of the Montreal Canadiens? (Aside from the opening night loss to the Leafs). Another four-goal game from the Habs, their third in a row, with this going to overtime and none other than Andrei Markov [...]
