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 [...]

Brian Gionta has a torn bicep muscle, will undergo surgery on Friday, and that’s it for him. So Kevin Weekes was dead-on when he said recently on HNIC that this would happen. It’s the same sort of thing Gionta did last year. The team also said that Brandon Prust and Ryan White would sit out [...]

The series is all even now, with the Canadiens beating the Ottawa Senators 3-1, and it was they way they won it that tugs at the heart strings. Unless you’re a Sens fan of course. Carey Price bounced back and was splendid throughout. Just when we were ready to ship him off to Palookaville. Rene [...]

And now we wait. We wait to see how Lars Eller is after being being leveled by Eric Gryba. We wait until Friday night to see if the Canadiens can come out of this with a split before moving up the highway to Ottawa. We wait to see if Carey Price can step it up [...]

My heart is soaring like a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck. 4-1 Habs over that despicable team in Toronto. A statement sent that says speed, skill, and hard work prevail, and just because his team is “bigger and stronger” as Joffrey Lupul tweeted, it doesn’t mean a thing if a big portion of the team are lumbering oafs. [...]

It was yet another loss, a 3-2 falling to the New Jersey Devils, and although Carey Price played better and the team as a whole showed some slight improvement, it still wasn’t enough to make most of us feel better. The Canadiens fell behind in a big way, as they’ve done so often lately, and [...]

It’s game number 45 tonight for the Canadiens, with the Washington Capitals paying a visit to the Bell Centre, and of course the team needs to continue to build off their decent if unspectacular last-minute win over the Lightning on Thursday. A lousy game for the Habs will mean the slump isn’t ended, and it’s [...]

The Canadiens fell behind 3-1 in the third period and refused to give up, which we’ve come to expect from them. They scratched and clawed until the final siren and it was almost another miraculous night. Almost. The boys fell short, losing 3-2 to the visiting Washington Capitals, and maybe it’s a good time to [...]

Habs 2, Bruins 1. Now that’s hockey! It wasn’t good when Lars Eller pulled Zdeno Chara off-balance and took a seat in the penalty box with just 57 seconds remaining and his team holding on. The goalie was pulled and it was tense. Even tenser than when Lucy drives in the city. But they held [...]
