One Writer’s Trophy Candidates

Because there’s been talk of certain Canadiens possibly grabbing hardware at season’s end, I’ve wondered who else around the league might be in the thick of things in different categories, and how professional writers might view some of the Habs who have a shot. So it was interesting to see how Jim Jamieson of the [...]

Another From The Old Trunk

I was going through an old program I have, from an Ottawa ’67s game I was at back in 1976, and I found my ticket stub inside! Such a bonus! Here you’ll see Doug Wilson, general manager of the San Jose Sharks, when he looked like a white Jimi Hendrix. You can see Bruce Boudreau, [...]

24CH English Version Kicks Off Tonight

The English version of 24CH, a behind-the-scenes peek at the Habs, begins tonight on TSN at 8pm et/5pm pt. Tonight’s episode will be an hour long, and throughout the season there will be six more 30-minute episodes. This should be extremely interesting. Maybe we’ll see some wild and crazy hi-jinks. Maybe Michel Therrien swears like [...]

“The Hockey News” From 1988

In a box in my closet I found a few old issues of The Hockey News from 1988, and here’s a sampling of things mentioned: “We’re so used to this against Montreal, but we’re not complaining.” – Quebec Nordique GM Maurice Filion after an apparent tying goal was waved off against Montreal Feb. 29. Consumer [...]

The Two On The Bread Lines

Would you want either of the recently canned coaches, Paul Maurice or Bruce Boudreau, coaching the Habs? Because when you look at them, it’s not exactly like bringing in Scotty Bowman or Jacques Lemaire. Boudreau can’t even be considered an experienced NHL bench boss. Four and a half years behind the bench for the Washington Capitals. [...]

A Game To Be Had

If the Canadiens manage to lose to Anaheim on Wednesday night, it’ll become one of the lowest points of the season. Anaheim sits second worst in the entire league with 16 points, and have lost their last five. If the Habs lose this and look bad while doing it, you would think that Jacques Martin would [...]

Stuff To Read

By the time this week-long break in the Habs’ schedule finishes, Scott Gomez will look like Pancho Villa, Max Pacioretty like Marcello Mastroianni, P.K. Subban like Sidney Poitier, and Carey Price like Burt Reynolds. By the time it finishes, I might not remember who’s on the team. In the meantime: A fine piece from The Hockey Writers [...]

Wrong Time Of Year For The Caps

Seems like it doesn’t matter how many points the Washington Capitals get in the regular season, when it comes to the playoffs, it’s a whole other matter. Unless that is, they can come back from a three-game deficit to overcome the Tampa Bay Lightning, which probably isn’t going to happen. The Caps changed their way of doing [...]

The Silence Is Deafening

Things are quiet in Habsville at the moment. The Canadiens were vanquished by the Boston Bruins in the first round not long ago and went quietly into the night, but in 2010, we all know what we did to those two so-called favourites before eventually being dispatched by the Philadelphia Flyers. (Remember how happy we were for awhile?)

A Good Time To Bring The Caps Back To Earth

Barack Obama may live in the same town as the Capitals, but we know who he’s cheering for. Game day, with the Washington Capitals in Montreal, and I could say it could be a beauty but I could say it might not be either. Action-wise, that is. As long as the Habs win, however it [...]
