Marc Bergevin says the the team is too small. Tomas Plekanec says it isn’t. I’ll settle this. They’re too small. But almost not. There are only two small guys on the Habs – Brian Gionta and David Desharnais, both standing at 5’7. They’re the two who make the team seem small. Without them, the subject [...]

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 [...]

Brian Gionta has a torn bicep muscle, will undergo surgery on Friday, and that’s it for him. So Kevin Weekes was dead-on when he said recently on HNIC that this would happen. It’s the same sort of thing Gionta did last year. The team also said that Brandon Prust and Ryan White would sit out [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

I agree with Brendan Gallagher when he says Nazem Kadri is a twit. “He sits on the bench yapping his mouth, he gets on the ice and all of a sudden he’s scared,” says Gallagher. So the game plan (in my mind) for tomorrow night is hopefully erase the yapping any which way. Maybe a [...]

It’s game number 45 tonight for the Canadiens, with the Washington Capitals paying a visit to the Bell Centre, and of course the team needs to continue to build off their decent if unspectacular last-minute win over the Lightning on Thursday. A lousy game for the Habs will mean the slump isn’t ended, and it’s [...]

The Canadiens fell behind 3-1 in the third period and refused to give up, which we’ve come to expect from them. They scratched and clawed until the final siren and it was almost another miraculous night. Almost. The boys fell short, losing 3-2 to the visiting Washington Capitals, and maybe it’s a good time to [...]
