Whenever the Canadiens lose, like they have in their last two outings against Boston and Buffalo, I have to change my television viewing habits. I refuse to watch hockey highlights after the game, and the following day. Especially when the gang gets scored on with two seconds left. Seeing some sportscaster talk about a Habs [...]

I saw four whales at work the other day, spouting water high into the air and diving under with their big tails following their huge bodies into the drink, and I know what it means. Other than I’m a lucky guy for seeing this mesmorizing sight, I think it’s a sign that the Bruins won’t win their tenth [...]

It only took 82 games but now we know exactly who the Habs will meet in the opening round of the playoffs. The team we figured all along. Sort of. Bring on the Bruins, as the Canadiens finished off their regular season in fine fashion, taking out the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 at the ACC, and [...]

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 [...]

From Sports Illustrated: The Bruins increased their stockpile of draft picks — but will they use them well? The Maple Leafs got a young explosive scorer — but one with just one solid season. The only sure winner is Phil Kessel, who got a new five-year, $27 million contract.   Time was that a Boston fan’s [...]

Habs 2, Sens 1. Do you think the Canadiens should wear their team jerseys and jeans, or nice suits, in the Stanley Cup parade next June? JUST KIDDING, PEOPLE. We’ll talk about this later. My wife is disappointed. And when she’s disappointed, I’m disappointed. But I don’t know how to make it better. I pointed out [...]

If I was an Ottawa Senators fan, I think I’d have a hard time watching the Montreal-Boston series, which the Bruins now lead three games to none and will soon put all of us out of our misery. Because if I was a Senators fan, I think it’d be a bummer knowing that Zdeno Charo once played in Ottawa [...]

Bruin players Milan Lucic, Phil Kessel, Marc Savard, and Blake Wheeler look happy after their great regular season. “We’re so thrilled, we just want to go shopping!” gushed Lucic.

Phil Kessel is out of the Bruins’ lineup because he has mononucleosis. Normally this would call for some sort of smart-ass remark. But Kessel is one player I’m not making silly little jokes about. He fought cancer and won, he’s had enough sickness in his young life, and so I’m saying to him now, speedy recovery.
