RDS seems to have come up with the Habs schedule. An English version from anywhere doesn’t seem to be out just yet. Les 24 parties locales Samedi 19 janvier: contre les Maple Leafs de Toronto Mardi 22 janvier: contre les Panthers de la Floride Dimanche 27 janvier: contre les Devils du New Jersey Mardi 29 [...]

Hockey fans need to be more than a little concerned about the state of things. Will we have hockey this fall? There’s a good chance we won’t. The Canadian Press is reporting this: The NHL has made the first move in labour negotiations with its union. Two media outlets reported Friday night that the league [...]

Dallas 3, Montreal 0. There you go. Not even a goal. The fat lady is gargling. It just doesn’t get any more depressing, this whole season, and when you look at the words of the assistant coach, you see a problem that can’t be fixed with the flick of a switch. It was Randy Ladouceur explaining [...]

From RDS comes the French trailer, and then from somewhere else, the English version, both via that helpful Hollywood hipster Danno, a preview of a new hockey movie set to be released in March of 2012.. It’s called “Goon,” which needs no explanation. (No, it’s not a documentary on the Boston Bruins). Journal de Montreal calls it “The next Slapshot.” [...]

Last night in writing my game post, I made a couple of spelling errors which have since been corrected. I apologize for this, I hate when this happens, and all I can say is I’m suffering through another eye infection and my eyesight isn’t normal at the moment. I had hurried through it because I [...]

4:25 pm Pacific – Only a few silent swear words about the game not being on in English where I live. Then I remembered I don’t have to listen to people like Glenn Healy and Mike Milbury, and now I’m happy. Maybe even do a couple of handstands if I could. Plus, I like RDS’s Pierre Houde, who seems like a good [...]

When you play eight games in twelve nights as the Habs are doing, it’s a good thing you have lots of players ready to suit up. It just means that sometimes, the lineup might not be the strongest you’ll ever see. Very soon though, things will begin to take shape. From RDS’s Renaud Lavoie via [...]

For all the great Habs fan in the west who don’t have the NHL package or satellite TV or RDS or can’t figure out how to watch on your computer, unfortunately you’re going to have to enjoy the Boston-Montreal extravaganza on radio. When the puck drops at 7.30 eastern, CBC will be airing Jeopardy and then [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
