Disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy was on 60 Minutes Sunday night, talking about how he gambled on basketball and how he was ultimately fired from his $300,000 a year job, his wife divorced him, he did eleven months in prison, and his world came crashing down. His winning average on these bets were around 80%, [...]

Forget Sheldon Souray, Sean Avery, and all those pretenders to the throne. There’s only one super model – the man himself – Jean Beliveau.

Former Hab Chris Higgins returns to Montreal in a Rangers uniform tonight, and hopefully he’ll play just the way he did last season – lousy.
This is a guy who has always had potential, who scored more than twenty goals three times as a Montreal Canadien, but should have scored more. Too many times we endured his long, painful slumps [...]

Alex Kovalev had his say at his annual golf tournament in Montreal a few days ago:
Kovy said his first choice all along was Montreal, that in a perfect world he would finish his career playing at the Bell Centre. “I was disappointed. I thought for sure I’d be staying. I couldn’t really understand what had [...]

What’s the opposite of someone who’s good in math?
Me.
I was fine in grade school - adding and subtracting and multiplying like crazy when I wasn’t dropping pencils on the floor so I could look up girls’ skirts. But in high school it was different. All those ridiculous fractions and letters and things squared. People who measure [...]

Indeed it’s sad when a good warrior and captain such as Saku Koivu is finished as a Montreal Canadien and will carry on elsewhere. We all loved and appreciated what he did for the team and city as a great player and a man who gave his time and money to hospitals and sick kids and other organizations.
But I [...]

Whew, that was a close one for Sean Avery. Imagine if he’d have to play another series? These last seven games against the Capitals have already cut in severely to his fashion/designer job. Now that the Rangers are gonzo, Sean can finally concentrate on more important things. Being in the playoffs must’ve been a bummer.
However, having said that, Avery [...]

Because this is a hockey blog, I should mention that Washington, with Alex Ovechkin scoring a pretty goal, won a big 4-0 game against the New York Rangers- minus-Sean Avery-because-he’s-been-a-jerk-and-deserves-to-sit, to close the gap to 3 games to 2. I didn’t see this game however because I’ve been driving like a madman all day and am now two hours north [...]

Yes, they lost 4-3 to the New Yorkers. And yes, this isn’t good. But at least they got a point. And there were a few good things to focus on. Like Alex Kovalev playing quite well except for those times when he was a puck hog.
Then there was that move by Maxim Lapierre to tie [...]

The Rangers are in Montreal Tuesday for yet another big game for both teams.
And I have a dream. Wars and starvation end, cures are found for diseases, and Gregory Stewart pounds Sean Avery into oblivion.
