It’s just so great that with the lockout ending, we no longer have to hear and read about million dollar differences and rich people disagreeing with rich people. I’m just glad it’s over. Oh wait a minute. It’s not. P.K. Subban hasn’t signed with the Habs yet, and reading Dave Stubb’s piece in the Gazette [...]

Geez, Habs news. I don’t know if my little laptop can handle the shock to its’ system. The Canadiens have given Max Pacioretty a nice six-year extension worth 4.5 million annually, on a contract which had a year left to go. So our boy ain’t going nowhere for seven years at least. This should give him plenty [...]

Before I get into anything else, I’d like to direct you to Hockey Inside Out which has a nice interview with Jaraslav Spacek, conducted by the Gazette’s Dave Stubbs. Spacek gives his thoughts about Jacques Martin, Pierre Gauthier, Geoff Molson and others, and I found the piece really interesting. I can’t top that. Geez. So I guess I’ll just go on [...]

I received a note from Montreal radio station CJAD’s Abe Hefter today, who talks about the launching of his new sports talk show, “The Locker Room.” It’s absolutely my pleasure to pass this info unto you. Here’s Abe: “Wanted to share this with you and your web readers: Starting this weekend, CJAD Sports is taking [...]

Joe Who? Joe Callahan. Sounds like a detective. Pierre Gauthier went out and signed the 6’3″, 210 pound defenseman, (the same size as new forward Blair Betts), and does this mean Alexei Yemelin has impressed absolutely no one and is about to book a one-way ticket back to the Motherland? Or will he play in Winnipeg on [...]

Bob Gainey spoke to the media on the eve of the Heritage Classic and had the following to say about players from other teams crying about PK Subban. (Not mentioning any names, of course, like Joffrey Lupul and Mike Richards and a bunch of Bruins for example). This comes from Dave Stubbs reporting from Calgary for Habs Inside/Out. “(Subban) [...]

The Montreal Gazette and Habs Inside Out’s great writer Dave Stubbs, in Calgary where he’s in the midst of covering the Habs western swing, reports that the Wiz isn’t entirely ruled out for playing at the Heritage Classic on Sunday. Imagine. How fantastic would that be? If that were to happen, I’m going to give him [...]

Just when I thought the weekend was on the quiet side, a most fascinating story has appeared on AllHabs regarding an uproar over a blogger and mainstream media types from Habs Inside/Out. Here’s the link – The MSM Doth Protest Too Much. Very interesting.

Nice story by the Gazette’s Dave Stubbs about Habs owner George Gillett and what he’s meant to the team and how he doesn’t deserve what’s happened lately. http://www.montrealgazette.com/Sports/Column+Habs+leave+Gillett+twisting+foul+wind/1312856/story.html

It seems that some people in Montreal aren’t happy that Saku Koivu passed on the annual Montreal Canadiens golf tournament and stayed in Finland to continue working out with a Finnish hockey team to prepare for the season.   People are complaining on talk shows. La Province sports writer Bertrand Raymond agrees with these people [...]
