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.

Robin Herman was the first female reporter to be allowed in a men’s locker room by a coach, back in the 1970s. That coach was Don Cherry. Here’s a brand new letter from Robin, addressed to Don – Don Cherry, you were my hero Thanks to Danno for this.

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 [...]

This is a nice 1960 commercial featuring Doug Harvey and son Doug Jr. playing a new table hockey game put out by Imperial Oil celebrating Hockey Night in Canada’s 25th year. The game could be bought for a whopping five bucks. I spoke to Doug Jr. on the phone several years ago when he owned a restaurant [...]

It could’ve been a beauty of a night. A glorious night to make life even more miserable for the Toronto Maple Laffs. The Canadiens could have added a serious blow to the Leafs hopes of playing in the post-season, with Toronto coming in with a 1-9-1 record, a record that got coach Ron Wilson fired, and everyone feeling quite lousy about [...]

My buddy Mike Williamson sent me this link regarding Mike Milbury, who seems to be accused of bullying a 12 year old hockey player at his son’s game. Of course he could be completely innocent. But nonetheless, it’s interesting. CBC probably isn’t amused.

It only took 82 games but now we know exactly who the Habs will meet in the opening round of the playoffs. The team we figured all along. Sort of. Bring on the Bruins, as the Canadiens finished off their regular season in fine fashion, taking out the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 at the ACC, and [...]

Danno has written an excellent letter to the CRTC voicing his concerns regarding Don Cherry and his rants about PK Subban, which ultimately could lead to the young player getting unnecessarily hurt. Danno sent his letter to me and I’m passing it along to you. I say good for Danno. Dennis, I’m tired of Don Cherry and how he’s [...]

There is someone very interesting living across the water from me, just over on Vancouver Island, and I wanted to find out what he thought about a couple of things, including the Habs. So I phoned him. Howie Meeker played eight years in the NHL, between 1946 and 1953, and all eight were with the Toronto [...]
