The Habs are gone, and for now……… No more P.K. Subban wheeling around and rushing like a man possessed, or blasting a missile from the point, or sailing across the ice, fired up, in the moment, to level an oncoming enemy. No more Brendan Gallagher crashing the net, standing firm as bigger opponents try to [...]

Backs against the wall. It ain’t over till it’s over. One shift at a time. One game at a time. There’s no tomorrow. Pull out all the stops. Pedal to the metal. Do or die. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. As P.K. Subban says, “We can beat these guys. We’re better.” And [...]

The series is all even now, with the Canadiens beating the Ottawa Senators 3-1, and it was they way they won it that tugs at the heart strings. Unless you’re a Sens fan of course. Carey Price bounced back and was splendid throughout. Just when we were ready to ship him off to Palookaville. Rene [...]

Brandon Prust calling Senators coach Paul MacLean a bug-eyed fat walrus isn’t called for. I feel it’s a slap in the face to the walrus. Yes, walrus’ are overweight and have whiskers, but they’re not nearly as homely as MacLean. Are you kidding? Not even close. Trim your freaking mustache, coach. Lose some weight. Do [...]

And now we wait. We wait to see how Lars Eller is after being being leveled by Eric Gryba. We wait until Friday night to see if the Canadiens can come out of this with a split before moving up the highway to Ottawa. We wait to see if Carey Price can step it up [...]

Darth’s newest masterpiece is David Desharnais, which now joins his ever-growing gallery of exceptional works of art. Darth is a very talented dude, and it’s always my pleasure to post his remarkable creations. Desharnais’s a player who needs to pick things up a notch in this postseason. We need all hands on deck.

My heart is soaring like a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck. 4-1 Habs over that despicable team in Toronto. A statement sent that says speed, skill, and hard work prevail, and just because his team is “bigger and stronger” as Joffrey Lupul tweeted, it doesn’t mean a thing if a big portion of the team are lumbering oafs. [...]

Andrei Markov has been announced as Montreal’s nomination for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, given each year to a player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication. This means that the cabinet space the Vezina was going to take up could now be used for the Masterton! You see how things work [...]

For the third straight game, the Canadiens looked tremendously ordinary and the starting goalie was pulled. So much for my previous pep talk. A total of eighteen pucks have found their way behind our two netminders during this three-game stretch, with last night being a 6-4 loss at the hands of the home town Pittsburgh [...]

I really admire Darth. For the sake of his art, he’s strayed from Habs players (and Sandy Koufax), and ventured into enemy territory, with his latest being Wayne Simmonds of the Philadelphia Flyers. I think it’s a tremendous job Darth has done of this talented Flyers power forward, and it’s a real nice library we’re [...]
