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 [...]

Now where were we. When we last left off, the Canadiens had kicked some ass. Senators ass. Now, in this upcoming Sunday evening game 3, they need to do it again. Kevin Weekes on HNIC’s Hotstove Tonight mentioned that Brian Gionta has an upper body injury, may require surgery, and may be gone for the [...]

It’s game number 45 tonight for the Canadiens, with the Washington Capitals paying a visit to the Bell Centre, and of course the team needs to continue to build off their decent if unspectacular last-minute win over the Lightning on Thursday. A lousy game for the Habs will mean the slump isn’t ended, and it’s [...]

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 [...]

Ryan Miller stopped 38 of the 39 shots the Habs sent his way, with the end result being a 2-1 Sabres win at the Bell Centre, and I suppose if the boys are going to lose, they might as well do it before they play the Penguins on Tuesday and Bruins on Wednesday. I’m sure [...]

A quick little jaunt down the road to Uniondale to meet the Islanders tonight, then back home Saturday for a chance at redemption when the Buffalo Sabres are back for another round. These are two games the Habs must win. As a fan, I’m ordering this to happen. I have a phobia. A constant worry [...]

The Canadiens tackle the Devils in Newark tonight and will be without Michael Ryder (lower body injury), along with the usual guys, Rene Bourque, Raphael Diaz, and Brandon Prust. Big Jarred Tinordi will play his first-ever NHL game, which must be an awesome feeling. In my next life, I want this feeling. As has been [...]

Two goals and an assist for Michael Ryder as he and his Canadiens hand the Florida Panthers a 5-2 smacking, and the first-place squad finishes off a highly successful five-game road trip losing only once along the way. And although he didn’t exactly have to overextend himself on this night, Peter Budaj has now won [...]

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. [...]

A decent first period, an extremely lousy second, and then a decent third allows the Canadiens to skate away with a 4-2 win in Raleigh, and when all was said and done, it was Carey Price coming through when needed. Price was solid throughout, it’s two big points for his team to remain in the [...]
