Remember in early June of 2008 when the Hockey Night in Canada theme song ceased to exist on CBC?
Have we gotten over that? There was a big fuss, after all.
But we still hear it on TSN and RDS games, so maybe that softened the blow somewhat.
I don’t know……it was just one of those things where [...]

There were lots of goals, a few heart-stopping mistakes, and a delectable, come-from-behind charge, and in the end, it was a roof-raising 5-4 win by the Canadiens over a dangerous Rangers squad, and definitely an eye-popping hockey game that puts a big smile on all Habs fans.
The Montreal bars will be lively tonight!
Mike Cammalleri scored three, including the winner in overtime, and [...]

In the “glass is half full, not half empty” department, there were several nice things to see regarding this second-from-last pre-season game for the Canadiens that ended with, yecch, a loss once again to that team from down the eastern seaboard.

Jacques Demers will be pulling in $130,400 a year as senator in the Canadian Senate. And other than the fact it’s a job for his spare time when he’s not being the Howie Meeker of RDS televised Habs games, and aside from the $130,400, which isn’t chump change, the job probably sucks.
You only have to show up a [...]

What the hell’s going on? It’s been more than ten days now, and not one bit of malicious, nutty, silly, dangerous, disturbing, crazy, possibly true, rumour mill madness from the Canadiens’ camp.
Oh, RDS is saying that Larry Robinson might be interested in the coaching job, but that’s pretty well it. I don’t get it. There’s [...]

Because I’m not all that proficient in the French language (I wish I was), I can’t really understand a lot of the chatter that goes on during Canadiens games on RDS, especially between periods.
So I’m left wondering about the RDS team that does the games. It seems to me that Pierre Houde is as good [...]

There were several highlights in Friday’s game between the Canadiens and the Columbus Blue Jackets. which saw the Canadiens lose 4-3 in a shootout. There was a blond behind the net with a low-cut blouse.
 
Okay, so there weren’t several highlights. Just that one.
 
And two other things before I turn this computer off and try to [...]

 
“TSN reports CTV has acquired the rights to the Hockey Night in Canada theme song.  The song, which was created by Vancouver’s Dolores Claman in 1968, will now be used in NHL broadcasts on TSN and RDS beginning this Fall. In addition, CTV will utilize the song as part of its hockey coverage during the [...]

Three big things happened in the last little while. Montreal beat Phoenix 4-2, they grabbed first place in the east again because of this win, and I watched the game on my brand new TV.
And not only did I watch the game on my new TV, but I also watched it on RDS French which [...]
