A One-Sided Affair And A Night To Build On. Habs Trounce Enemy

There’ll be no harsh words tonight. No getting on anyone, no wondering why some players aren’t doing this and that. Heck, I’m not even going to bring up how Jaroslav Halak blew his shutout by giving the puck away on a power play.
Because this is a night to savour. A delicious, one-sided, crowd-pleasing 5-1 blowout [...]

Here’s To Fleury And All Small Players

Theo Fleury, all 5′6″ of him, which is an inch shorter than both Brian Gionta and Henri Richard, is hoping to make a comeback with the team where he found his greatest glory, the Calgary Flames. He’s been sober for four years now and feels he’s ready to go. And we’ll see soon enough if he’s ready [...]

To Patrice And The Boys, Have I Got A Job For You!

To Robert Lang, Mathieu Schneider, Alex Tanguay, Patrice Brisebois, and Mathieu Dandenault:
The Powell River Regals, a respected and long-serving senior men’s hockey team that has won not one but three Allan Cups in the last 12 years, is going through a re-building stage. Many of the veterans just can’t keep up any more. Many of the [...]

You Want A Short Story? Here’s A Beauty

These are Russian lapel pins. Russians love their pins, and there’s millions of them floating around. This little display I have at home are hockey and 1980 Olympics pins, and of course, there’s a story here.
In 1991, I told my friends, a Russian couple living in Leningrad, which shortly after became St. Petersburg, to start [...]

Ovechkin Needs A Hollywood Agent

I’m not all that concerned about Alex Ovechkin’s theatrics after he scored his fiftieth. His ‘laying his stick on the ice and pretending it was too hot to pick up’ have people talking. And almost half of fans polled say they don’t like it.
I suppose Ovechkin’s antics were a little silly, but nothing to get in an uproar [...]

If The Canucks And Leafs Went Head To Head, Would You Stay Awake?

Every good Habs fan hates the Leafs. It’s normal, like breathing, or liking Playboy magazine. The Leafs smell. They damaged the lining of our noses last year and the year before and the years before that. And nothing’s going to change this year or the next. Because they’re the Leafs.
 
Unfortunately, they often play well against Montreal, for whatever [...]

Here’s Hoping The Flames Get Through And Lose To Montreal In The Finals

If there’s one team I wouldn’t mind seeing come out of the western division in these Stanley Cup playoffs,  it would have to be Calgary. Of course, Montreal would take them out quickly and effectively in the finals, but that’s not why I want Calgary.
It’s because they were nice to me and a Russian couple [...]
