At the World Championships in Sweden, P.K. Subban ended up joining Team Canada for a game, Raphael Diaz’ Swiss team captured silver, and Alex Galchenyuk copped a bronze with the Americans. On the home front, Michel Therrien was snubbed as a coach of the year candidate, which I disagree with, and Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski has [...]

In this corner, wearing the blue, white, and red trunks, standing  5’11′ and weighing 197 lbs, from Montreal Quebec……. Michel (Mike) Therrien! And in the other corner, wearing some kind of pink frilly thing, standing 6 ft. and weighing 205 pounds, (or 190 clean shaven), from Grostenquin France and Antigonish, Nova Scotia,…….Paul (the Walrus) MacLean! [...]

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. [...]

Game day – in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A big game for both clubs. The Jets are on the bubble for the eighth and final playoff spot, and the Habs…..well…..you know. So it’s gonna be a beauty. Unless Montreal falls behind 3-0 in the first, and in that case, it’s time for a lynching maybe. Jarrod Tinordi [...]

It wasn’t perfect, not by any stretch, but the Canadiens right the ship slightly by edging the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2, and for now at least, thing’s are back to where we want them. In the win column. Is there any other place? It’s a nice combination – winning with Carey Price being one of [...]

Because there’s been talk of certain Canadiens possibly grabbing hardware at season’s end, I’ve wondered who else around the league might be in the thick of things in different categories, and how professional writers might view some of the Habs who have a shot. So it was interesting to see how Jim Jamieson of the [...]

I miss the old Canadiens. The ones of a month or two ago, when they were racking up wins all over the place and guys were finding ways and the goalie was stopping pucks left and right. Where did they go? And who are these guys? The expectations were high on this night. Get back [...]

Danno sends over the news that NHL.com has Michel Therrien as the odds-on favourite for the Jack Adams Trophy as coach of the year. Chicago’s Joel Quenneville and Ottawa’s Paul MacLean are the runners up. You can see it here. Quenneville had his club on that massive unbeaten streak, earning at least a point in [...]

The Canadiens once again showed what they’re made of, rebounding from a sub-par showing in Philadelphia, and winning 4-1 Thursday night against the Jets in front of a happy crowd at the Bell Centre. And such splendid feel good moments to go along with this important and satisfying win. Peter Budaj played in front of [...]
