Give Andrei A Letter

With the goalie issue almost decided, (if Carey Price and Dan Ellis sign pieces of paper), Tomas Plekanec on board, and Sergei Kostitsyn dealt to Nashville, the other linguering story in the wings is the story of the enigma – Andrei Kostitsyn. 
How will he play this year? Is he ready to huff and puff every game, [...]

Please, No Repeat Of The Patrick Roy Trade

Off-season Habs news hasn’t been earthshaking so far, but do you get the feeling the juicy stuff is just around the corner?
Since the Canadiens gave it the good old college try but were disposed of at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers, the news we’ve been given so far has been the firing of six scouts within the organization; [...]

Sergei Kostitsyn Needs A Fresh Start Elsewhere

Seems like the dream is over for Sergei Kostitsysn. If it was a dream. Maybe he doesn’t want to be a Montreal Canadien anyway.
Sergei was in the lineup for game two and Benoit Pouliot sat, and there had to be some method to Jacques Martin’s madness. Did Martin think that after being in the doghouse for [...]

Habs – Who’s Really Fine, Fine, Sort Of Fine, And Not Fine At All? (At Least In My Book)

 

TSN reported yesterday, if you missed it, that the Canadiens players who weren’t playing in game three had a practice, and when Carey Price came off the ice sweating and tired, he saw a fresh Sergei Kostitsyn walking by. “Why weren’t you on the ice?” yelled Price. “Too good?” And Kostitsyn just mumbled something and [...]

Dominic Moore Impresses. Plus…..Another Contest Because It’s All About You

The more I see Dominic Moore, the more I understand why Habs GM Pierre Gauthier signed him.
Moore is a player who not only checks the opposition into the ground, but also possesses good hands, as was witnessed when he notched the winner in game seven against the Capitals. He’s a smart player, a good skater, doesn’t mind getting [...]

Habs Live To See Another Day!

The original title was going to be “Habs Crush Washington in Game 5″ which was the title of the piece I was writing in my new movie/YouTube Masterpiece, but this 2-1 Montreal win was anything but crushing. It was a big squeaker, but it was a win – a gigantic, beautiful, heart-stopping victory that sends the thing back to [...]

Nightmare On De La Gauchetiere Street

They were playing so well. Controlling things, getting good chances, outshooting the heralded and league brass fav Capitals. The Bell Centre was alive, the players were alive, and we were alive in front of our TV’s. And to regurgitate a well-worn and tired cliché, the future was so bright we had to wear shades.
Then, suddenly and without warning, it [...]

Habs Let It Get Away

What could have been.
The Canadiens could’ve gone back to Montreal with a seriously surprising 2-0 series lead. But they aren’t. Like a bad dream, they relinquished a 4-1 lead, and then a 5-4 edge late in the game, and in the end, the Montreal Canadiens settle for a split in Washington after losing the damn thing 6-5 in [...]

Devils And The Doctor Do the Deed

Canadiens lose 4-2 to the incredibly exciting New Jersey Devils, a team the league should look long and hard at. GM’s and league brass rack their brains at meetings  trying to figure out how to make the game more interesting and they curb much of the clutching and grabbing and take out the two-line pass, which have helped.
But have [...]

O’Byrne Helps The Sabres Rally

I’m not going to mince words here. What went wrong in Montreal’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Buffalo Sabres? It was Ryan O’Bryne’s penalty with three minutes to go in the game with the Habs winning 2-0 and Carey Price working on a huge shutout that went wrong. For me, the blame goes to O’Byrne.
When [...]
