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 [...]

First it’s Mike Milbury defending the Habs, and now Glenn Healy does too! What’s going on? Here’s the link – Healy Likes The Habs. Just click the “listen now” tab at the bottom of the Claude Julien whining story. Again, thanks to Danno for the superior sleuthing.

Listen to a couple of Bruins homers whine like little kids who got their lollipops taken away, and then hear Mike Milbury stick up for the Habs! It’s a crazy world, isn’t it? Take the loss and suck it up people. And thanks Mike Milbury. (I can’t believe I said this). (Thanks to Danno for [...]

Thanks to Darth for sending this along. Listen to Mike Milbury and Keith Jones defending Grabovski’s bite on Max Pacioretty, then see the last half of the video where they go and on about how players shouldn’t bite. Which is it, boys? Make up your minds. Milbury is such an asshole. Always has been.

The young guys are gathering in Pittsburgh for the big Entry Draft, and I’m sure they’re a nervous bunch. What if I don’t get chosen? they ask themselves. But fear not. Mathieu Darche, Raphael Diaz, Josh Gorges, Martin St. Louis, Adam Oates, Curtis Joseph, and heck, I’ll even throw these in – Nick Kypreos, P.J. Stock, and [...]

I managed to see a fair amount of the Chicago-Phoenix game at O’Shea’s on the Vegas strip, but I couldn’t hear a word of course. People cheered when they won a big hand at the tables and high-fived each other and it was all quite annoying, and the normal buzz of the casino drowned out just about [...]

I’m still speechless after learning that the Ottawa Senators have had to forfeit their eighth-place finish when it was discovered that Sens’ owner Eugene Melnyk had bribed the Ottawa goal judge who happened to be the illegitimate son of Gary Bettman’s mistress, both of which were uncovered after a police raid in Kanata found a love triangle that included Mike [...]

In reading various columns this morning, I see the field has narrowed down to a measly 15 or so candidates for the GM job in Montreal. Names mentioned include Pierre McGuire and Jacques Martin, who need no introduction; ex-Habs Vincent Damphousse, Guy Carbonneau, and Patrick Roy; player agent Pat Brisson; along with Marc Bergevin, Julien Brisebois, Claude Loiselle, [...]

Almost to the minute after the siren sounds to end the Habs-Caps game today, I have to rush off to work and help keep things going while the rest of you eat, drink, and be merry. So I need to have some sort of game recap all wrapped up before I head out the door. I guess [...]

A fellow at work brought in a book for me to read called “Shooting From The Lip” (2004), which is a compilation of hockey quotes. Here’s a few of them….. My brother Dash hit me on the head with five textbooks in a gym bag. Tie Domi, asked about the hardest hit he’s ever received [...]
