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 [...]

With Raphael Diaz nursing a concussion, Yannick Weber getting injured during the Carolina game, and Tomas Kaberle being Tomas Kaberle, the Canadiens have called up Greg Pateryn from the Hamilton Bulldogs to help shore up the blueline. Good luck to the new guy, and hopefully he can impress. Here’s the announcement from the Bulldog’s website. [...]

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.

He’s been mugged by Zdeno Chara, has undergone an emergency appendectomy, and was bitten by Mikhail Grabovski. Hopefully for Max, the weirdness is now over. Things happen in threes, don’t they? Chara got nothing, Grabovski got nothing, and the doctor got a shitload of money. Max got a broken neck, a big scar, and a [...]

It could’ve been a beauty of a night.  A glorious night to make life even more miserable for the Toronto Maple Laffs. The Canadiens could have added a serious blow to the Leafs hopes of playing in the post-season, with Toronto coming in with a 1-9-1 record, a record that got coach Ron Wilson fired, and everyone feeling quite lousy about [...]

Carey Price is under the weather and may not play in the season opener Thursday night in Toronto. C’mon Carey, shape up. Up and at ‘em. Eat six raw eggs and drink a half pint of cod liver oil. Or if all else fails, smoke a doobie. But not too close to game time. Finally, after all [...]

  It’s the final game of the regular season, the Leafs are in town, making the playoffs for the home team is on the line, and the Canadiens know what they need to do. But will they do it? How will the Habs play? Will it be a lacklustre effort, or will all four lines come out [...]

It was no contest tonight between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs. No contest at all. In fact, it was almost like a Red-White scrimmage with the Red team coming out on top 6-2.   It could have been 10-2. Montreal had more chances to score than Casanova. And when you add the [...]

Hockey fans became completely sick of hearing Mats Sundin’s name about a month ago, and so I apologize for mentioning it now. But His Majesty is on the verge now of announcing whether he will retire or play, so I thought I’d get just a little head start on this.   If he plays, there’s always the chance [...]

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 [...]
