Finally, after only nine months, the Canadiens take to the ice again, and which has been the case in the previous three seasons, they take on those wild and crazy Toronto Maple Leafs to kick things off. Last year it was an opening night loss to the boys in blue, but that was last season, [...]

Team Canada edged the U.S. 2-1 today and now hold a perfect 3 wins and no losses, while the Americans have put themselves in a bit of a pickle and must beat Slovakia tomorrow to stay alive. So at this moment, it’s good to be a Canadian. Not so good for me personally though, was [...]

Rumblings have begun about Patrick Roy soon becoming the new Habs head coach, and I don’t really want to get into it until it becomes more than just rumblings. I will say this, though. I wasn’t happy with Patrick when he quit the team in 1995 after being embarrassed by coach Mario Tremblay, and I wasn’t thrilled [...]

  Louis Leblanc has gotten a lot of ink lately, mostly because the young Habs’ prospect, drafted 18th overall in 2009, has decided to forego his Harvard education to play junior in Montreal, and also because he was a shining star at Team Canada’s World Junior five-day development camp held recently in St. John’s.

“There’s two very special organizations for me – Montreal and Colorado,” said Patrick Roy as he finally turned down the Avalanche’s offer to coach and possibly be general manager.

Patrick Roy’s Son Shows His Musical Side By Marianne White, Canwest News Service   The son of former Montreal Canadiens goaltender Patrick Roy is training a lot these days, but not on the ice. Jonathan Roy is getting ready for his musical debut with the launch of his first album, titled What I’ve Become. The [...]

I got home from work and saw this article from CBC Sports. I suppose he deserves it, although he’s in my bad books right now. Somehow I can’t shake the notion that he bailed out on the Habs when the going got tough. I’m also not impressed about the brawl he and his son were [...]

Marc Crawford Joins Hockey Night In Canada   Marc Crawford is joining the Hockey Night In Canada crew as a between-period analyst. This comes just after the announcement of Mike Milbury joining the show and doing the same job. Both former players and coaches are expected to give important tips about what conditioners to use, how to detangle, [...]

Remember when Patrick Roy winked at LA player Tomas Sandstrom after making a nice stop on him? There was something about that that I didn’t like. Maybe it was because I wasn’t sure that Patrick had robbed him blind, and that it was sort of a lucky save that simply looked good. I leaned toward the lucky save.  [...]
