I managed to see the first period of the Habs/Capitals game and it was 2-1 Caps when it was time to leave the Shark Club in Vancouver and take our Russians, Denis and Natasha, to Rogers Arena to see the obnoxious Canucks beat the Calgary Cammalleri’s 3-2 in overtime, thus eliminating the Cammalleri’s. It was close, though, [...]

The Canadiens might want to bring their A game, if they have an A game, when they meet the Vancouver Canucks tonight. This is a fine squad paying a visit, a team that went to the Cup finals last year, and who could have won the whole thing if they had played like they did during the regular [...]

Roberto Luongo stopped everything  and Maxim Lapierre fired home the game’s only goal, and with that, the Vancouver Canucks are just one win away from their first Stanley Cup. The problem is, the next game is in Boston where Mr. Luongo and company allowed twelve goals in two games. So once again, it’s never over [...]

For Vancouver Canucks fans, it wasn’t supposed to be like this. Because as sure as death and taxes, the Stanley Cup was coming to Canada’s west coast this year. It still might happen. But it’s not as sure as death and taxes. Not after losing their last two games by scores of 8-1 and tonight [...]

I didn’t see the come-from-behind, third period drama from the Vancouver Canucks, with Henrik Sedin scoring the winner in the opening game of the Western Conference final. I didn’t see it because I was at work, keeping the country rolling while you relaxed on the couch. On this night, a big night, the Canucks conquer the Sharks 3-2 at [...]

Trade Deadline Day saw Montreal grab Brad Richards, Jason Arnott, Dustin Penner, and Ales Hemsky, which is quite exciting, don’t you think? No they didn’t. It was more exciting than that, as the team sent defenceman Brett Festerling to Atlanta for goalie Drew MacIntyre. Festerling had come to the Habs from Anaheim in the Maxim Lapierre deal, who, by the [...]

It’s not a time to gloat. Although beating the Ottawa Senators 7-1 is indeed a lovely thing. But the Habs were playing a team in trouble, with a coach (Cory Clouston) on the cusp of becoming unemployed, with a captain (Daniel Alfredsson) barely noticeable, and with two goaltenders (Mike Brodeur and Brian Elliot) not exactly [...]

Blue Bayou in London, England was looking for a way to personalize his Firefox browser and came across these nice Habs designs. He did point out, however, that the guy who designed the one at the bottom right might be feeling a little sad, considering his subject was traded just a couple of days after his artwork was created. Lots [...]
