I saw this photo of five-month old Samuel Daigneault in an old 1991-92 Canadiens magazine. Samuel would be about 22 now, and is older than Alex Galchenyuk, Brendan Gallagher, Nathan Beaulieu, and Jarred Tinordi. He’s about the same age as Louis Leblanc. I wonder if Samuel’s a Habs fan. I wonder if he’s not as [...]

Darth isn’t happy with his new piece of art, but I think it’s fantastic. If I wanted a picture of Carey Price that looked exactly like him, I’d buy a photograph. I like this much better. And I love what he did with the crest in the background. What a Darth library we have here!

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 [...]

This one hurts. Big time. It was going to be a big win and it slipped away. The Canadiens blew a 2-0 lead and lost in overtime 3-2. With Ottawa’s tying goal coming with the goalie pulled and just 23 seconds remaining on the clock. It caps a lousy day that began at 5 a.m. [...]

Time to dust off the great Annakin Slayd “Feels Like ’93″ to get things going. Mike Williamson suggested a few years ago that this tune should be an annual event here as the boys begin their charge, and I agree. You probably think I should be listening to Rudy Vallee and Al Jolson, but I [...]

Darth’s newest masterpiece is David Desharnais, which now joins his ever-growing gallery of exceptional works of art. Darth is a very talented dude, and it’s always my pleasure to post his remarkable creations. Desharnais’s a player who needs to pick things up a notch in this postseason. We need all hands on deck.

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 [...]

It was as one-sided as can be, a 5-1 Habs romp over a lacklustre Buffalo team, and how nice it is to clinch a playoff spot with eight games still to go instead of on the last day of the season, which is what we’ve seen in the past. Just a great night for the [...]

Game day, with the Habs in Buffalo to meet a team on the outside looking in as far as a playoff spot goes. It’s also a team that has beaten Montreal the last three times they’ve met, so that nonsense has to come to a screeching halt. It’s going to be interesting for sure. Can [...]

When a team, any team, manages just four shots in the second period and a pathetic two in the third, they’re probably going to lose. Almost every time, I’ll bet. And the Canadiens did absolutely nothing to dispel this fact that I’m pretty confident in saying without having the all-important facts to back me up. [...]
