We sat in a sports bar in Redding, California, waiting for the game to start, when in walked the two fellows we met in Oregon, one who proudly wears the shirt and hat of the Montreal Canadiens, and his son. And at exactly 4:10 Pacific time, the bartender told us he can’t get the game [...]

If I was an Ottawa Senators fan, I think I’d have a hard time watching the Montreal-Boston series, which the Bruins now lead three games to none and will soon put all of us out of our misery. Because if I was a Senators fan, I think it’d be a bummer knowing that Zdeno Charo once played in Ottawa [...]

I suppose it’s time to take stock in what’s gone down so far in Montreal. Alex Tanguay is now a Hab, but Mark Streit, Michael Ryder, and Mikhail Grabovski aren’t. That became- add one, deduct three.
So it only figured that Bob Gainey wasn’t through. But there’s no Mats Sundin, no Marian Hossa, no Jaromir [...]

Such a wasted week this has been. It had been announced to us that the Habs had received exclusive permission to negotiate with Mats Sundin, and the scenarios danced through our heads. Sundin, along with Alex Tanguay, were going to catapult Montreal to the top of the heap, the leading contender for next year’s Stanley Cup. [...]

 It started out just fine. Gaston and I went to a local pub to discuss the draft, and about the possibility of Gainey signing Mats Sundin. We both know there’s a cap problem involved, and the Habs still have to sign Andrei Kostitsyn, and also have to make a final decision about players like Mark [...]

I think it’s important that you should know that:
The Middle-East newspaper Al Jazeera prints the NHL standings.
This is the paper that Bin Laden and his band of bearded brutes use when they want to send a message to the wicked west.
Is it possible that Bin Laden reads the NHL standings?
Could Bin Laden be a Habs [...]

  GAME 5
Montreal has given us a lot of great and exciting moments this year. Tonight wasn’t one of them.
In a game where the Canadiens could have eliminated Boston and had a nice rest in preparation for the next series, they came out and smelled up the joint. Now they’d better look themselves in the mirror, and take a [...]

  Opening round GAME 1
The idea is to get rid of Boston as quickly as possible. Smash them, dazzle them, and confuse them. Overpower them, upset them, anger them, and frustrate them. Kick them, bite them, gouge them, and stick your fingers in their eyes. (just make sure the ref’s not watching.)
Take them out in [...]

To:
Bob Gainey – General Manager, Montreal Canadiens
Pierre Boivin – President
Dear Sirs,
The other day, the New York Yankees allowed comedian Billy Crystal to not only work out with the team in full uniform, but to also take a full at-bat during a spring training game against the Pirates. The Yankees are a world-class organization and know what [...]

                                            
                                                                                
                                                             
When You Wish Upon A StarNaturally, trade rumours are only just that, rumours, but we can dream, can’t we?
We can dream that the talk in the air about who might be going to Montreal is quite true, thank you very much, and that boss Bob Gainey has pulled the switch that makes Montreal the [...]
