Ryan White, finally back this season, with fellow right winger Ian Schultz joining him, both making their way from Hamilton. Two gritty forwards, ready to help the team continue their roll. How great is that? White has been out the entire year so far due to a sports hernia, and he’s been missed. This is a [...]

You know that 60% of games the Habs need to maybe make the playoffs? The game against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night at the Bell was part of the 40% they’re allowed to lose. 3-0 St. Louis. And things were going so well too. I watched it late at night, when most of [...]

Go Habs in your game tonight against the St. Louis Blues. You can do it, rah rah rah. I know there could be some distractions with all the hoopla involving an ex-Hab playing for the Blues now, but you’re just going to have to forget about Matt D’Agostini for a while and concentrate on getting the two [...]

With Jaroslav Halak and his St. Louis Blues coming to town on Tuesday and our man Lars Eller playing like a man possessed, I thought I’d take a look back to when it all began, on June 17th, 2010. Here’s my post from that day.  http://dennis-kane.com/halak-now-a-blues-brother-and-price-becomes-the-man/ I’d never heard of Lars Eller at this point. [...]

Liquidation World in Powell River has some red and blue Habs shirts on sale for ten bucks, but for some reason is having trouble liquidating the last three. I dunno, I’m stumped. Maybe you might have some idea.  

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?) [...]

Remember this? Different year, different goalie, a top team against an eighth place team - and we took them down. Tonight – let’s do it again with a goalie just as good or better than Mr. Halak.  And remember – every team goes through slumps.

Dustin Boyd, who came over from Nashville in the Sergei Kostitsyn trade, has been put on waivers by the Canadiens and so much for getting anything for Sergei, as the other guy in the deal, Dan Ellis, decided he could make more money elsewhere and currently wears a Tampa Bay jersey. That’s fine. Alex Auld [...]

Jaroslav Halak, as we all know, is playing extremely well in St. Louis with a meagre 1.71 GAA, two shutouts, and a record of 6 wins, 1 loss, and 1 overtime loss.  And how are some of the other ex-Habs doing in their NHL careers? In Anaheim, Saku Koivu has 2 goals and 2 assists, Kyle Chipchura [...]

Sometimes paying customers don’t get their money’s worth when they take their dates to the big game. It can be an uneventful two or three hours for sure, and can make chess look like a Stones concert. I guess that’s when alcohol sales go up. Wasn’t uneventful tonight, though. The Habs got it done against the pesky New York Islanders with [...]
