How Are They Stacking Up?

I’m not one for a lot of stats. Never have been. I think it’s got something to do with having a pea brain.
Some blogs are simply amazing when it comes to breaking down numbers and percentages and anything else needed to dissect a player or team. But it’s just not my style. I’ve never pretended to be like [...]

Habs Showing Big Signs Of Rounding Into Form

We saw Tomas Plekanec go down late in the frst period, and we thought, here we go again.
But Plekanec came back, and the team is showing more and more that with a relatively healthy lineup, they’re playing some of their best hockey of the year.
It’s even laughable to say healthy. Mike Cammalleri, Paul Mara, and [...]

So Long, Bob. I Don’t Blame You

It was easy to be a fan of Bob Gainey when he played because he seemed to do everything right, in a blue-collar kind of way. He wasn’t flashy like teammates Guy Lafleur or Yvan Cournoyer, but he was an all-important piece of the puzzle on the world’s greatest team in the latter part of [...]

Taking Care Of Crosby Is Three Quarters Of The Battle

When you look at the Pittsburgh-Montreal comparisons, you see similarities even though the Penguins sit in 4th place in the east with 71 points while Montreal has just scraped into 6th with a measly 60 points. In fact, looking at the numbers below you see that’s it’s Sid the Kid who makes the real difference, [...]

The Remaking Of The Team Has Done Wonders

Yes, the blowing up of the team, bringing in new players, and hiring Jacques Martin as coach has really done wonders.
After 56 games, this year’s more-than-disappointing bunch of underachievers has a record of 25 -25-6 for 56 points.
Last year after 56 games, the team which consisted of players cut loose such as Alex Kovalev, Alex [...]

It’s My Blood Pressure And I’ll Let It Rise If I Want To

Why am I in a lousy mood on this Saturday in the middle of winter when I have a day off and I get to go to the Gary Lupul tribute game at the rink tonight and eat popcorn? Is it because the Habs lost 3-2 in overtime to the Ottawa Senators? Yep, that’s one [...]

I’d Forgotten What The Habs Can Be

It was payback time for the Montreal Canadiens. And in the process a statement was made by all concerned that the Habs are indeed a good team, a team that has every intention of moving up the standings, and a team that isn’t nearly as bad as they’ve looked recently.
It was only last Sunday when the [...]

Canadiens Come Through In Fine Fashion

Through the turmoil of recent days – the dismal losses, George Laraque being released and calling Bob Gainey and Jacques Martin “classless”, big Jean Beliveau suffering a stroke and taken to hospital, and Mike Cammalleri and Maxim Lapierre jawing at each other in practice, the Canadiens went in to New Jersey in a miserable state [...]

We’ll See Soon Enough About These Wild And Crazy Habs

By the time the siren sounds on Wednesday night, we’ll know whether the Montreal Canadiens, the team we’ve cheered and cursed and loved and also wanted to tar and feather, will have either given themselves a swift boot in the behind, or have flushed themselves three quarters down the toilet and pretty well stopped playing [...]

Big Bust On Broadway

Rangers 6, Canadiens 2.
It was a game the Habs needed. A game they led 2-0. A game that would’ve catapulted them into seventh place ahead of New York.
Instead – six straight unanswered goals by the Blueshirts.
My wife sat with me on the couch and asked a simple question – What’s wrong with Montreal, and I can’t [...]
