I saw this on Coach’s Corner one night and loved it, so when my buddy Ron Clarke sent it today, I was happy to see it again and have it permanently here. This is way better than seeing Don kiss Nazem Kadri.

It began with a Toronto power play goal and ended three shots later, when Carey Price was yanked and the score was 3-0 Leafs after just ten minutes of the first period.

If I can only scrounge up $2.50 to go the game tonight. Even seventy-five cents if I don’t mind sitting up high. Of course it’ll cost me about $900 to fly to Toronto and back. So all in all, to be there when the Canadiens wipe out Don Cherry’s love children would be about $902.50, [...]

It’s hard to know how to begin. I’m still in a big of a daze after seeing how the latest Habs and Bruins affair transpired. It’s all quite unbelievable, and because I’ve now turned the dial to the blues channel, I can’t hear the many excuses Bruins coach Claude Julien will come up with as [...]

For those of you in other countries, today, Sunday, is a big day in Canada. Grey Cup Day. The 100th Grey Cup. When Canadians from coast to coast gather to eat meatballs, dips and chili. They also drink a lot of beer on this day, which is never a good idea because most have to [...]

Scott Mellanby has been hired by the Habs as director of player personnel, and as I have no idea if this will prove to be a good move or not, all I can say is this former player played 21 years in the NHL, with Philadelphia, Edmonton, Florida, Toronto, St. Louis, and Atlanta, and during [...]
