The Rocket tried a lot of different things to make a few extra bucks during and after his career because he wasn’t rich like Scott Gomez. They included, along with the usual team duties – beer rep for Dow and Molsons/O’Keefe; a Laurier Life Insurance PR guy; and he owned a pub (Tavern 544/9); General [...]

Dear Montreal Canadiens, In next year’s NHL Entry Draft, can I be one of the little kids that goes up on stage? I was turned down as stick boy and then flag boy, so I’m asking nicely if I can now be draft boy. Oh, you say you have to be the owner’s son or something? [...]

The Rocket wasn’t just a hockey player, as he once said of himself. He was also a beer rep, doing public relations work for Dow Breweries, which was owned by Carling-O’Keefe when Rocket was involved. I wonder how Molsons felt about that. Dow would eventually become owned by Molsons in the mid-sixties, but closed shop after several [...]

Please see previous post regarding the neccessary steps we must take to stop the madness in Montreal, which means not drinking Molson’s beer. And if you decide to drink the beer shown below, I hereby take no responsibility for blindness or any other infliction which could occur after swallowing the contents of two bottles or more, and am in no way [...]

Molson gives us a mess of a Habs team and says thank you suckers, now drink up. Don’t drink Molson’s.  Hit ‘em where it hurts, in the bank account. There are plenty of fine beers out there looking for a good home.  

Here’s where we stand. We’re still in the dog days with another five weeks before Carey Price starts standing on his head and the team begins to collect an amazing amount of points in the standings. I’m on a day off and plan on eating lemon pudding and watching American Justice. So what do I do [...]

That’s right. No April Fool’s Joke. I don’t have time for such silliness considering I have to get down to Victoria and cash in my winning lottery ticket. So sorry folks, there will be no trickery or surprises on this April 1st. And anyway, Pamela and Penelope are pleading with me to shut the computer off and [...]

Danno, who often comments here, sharing his usual thoughtful insights on all things Habs, has come up with a darn good idea, an idea that corresponds with the festivities surrounding the Canadiens 100th anniversary while also quenching our parched throats at the same time. All he needs is Molsons to think it’s a good idea too. I [...]

I’m saddens me to announce this, but I have decided to back out of becoming partners with Molsons in owning the Montreal Canadiens. Too many things have come up – I need to get an oil change for my car soon, the price of beer has risen, and my wife has now informed me she wants another [...]

Now that I have more than $150 and several readers willing to take part with me, I’m probably very close to making Molsons an offer they can’t refuse, and buying the Canadiens. And because of that, I need to get ready, so I’ve decided to go ahead and make a few changes – changes I feel will be a [...]
