The Canadiens have sent Jarred Tinordi and Gabriel Dumont back to Hamilton after what I feel was a nice showing by both guys. The huge Tinordi played a conservative game, which was to be expected and certainly how he would have been asked to play, and seemed reasonably comfortable in his role. Dumont showed that [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Our top guy, Tomas Plekanec, comes in at 36th overall in the league, with 11 points. Buffalo’s Tomas Vanek sits at number one with 23 points. And as you can see, there’s not much happening with both Tomas Kaberle and Yannick Weber, who continue to twirl their thumbs on the sidelines. Ryan White, as you [...]

Dishonest John in Kenora was recently given a signed Habs t-shirt from his niece Megan, who is a friend of Ryan White, and DJ sat down to decipher the tough signatures. He got most of them, and I’ve added a couple after comparing players’ autographs on eBay. But we’re stuck on two. I’ve broken it down into sections, and you can [...]

It was wild and wacky, this Habs-Wild clash, with bodies flying and infirmaries busy and nastiness reigning supreme. And in the end, when the ice chips settled, the Canadiens earned their two points. The freakin’ hard way! 5-4 Habs. It should have been 4-1. Was it a full moon on this night? It was a [...]

Whew! That had to be one of the most stressful shootouts in recent memory. Two big points for the Canadiens as they snuck by the Pens 3-2 in a game which provided thrills and spills, and of course, most importantly, another successful must-win as they attempt the death-defying stunt of coming back from the dead [...]

The Canadiens lose again, this time to the Boston Bruins by a score of 2-1, and added to all that’s gone on recently in this three-ring circus, Mike Cammalleri was sent packing to the Calgary Flames for tough and talented northern Albertan, Rene Bourque. Cammalleri had done absolutely nothing in the first two periods, and he can [...]

So many good things on a night when the Habs win a convincing 4-0 game over the Carolina Hurricanes. I just need to list them while the giddiness lingers. Montreal took advantage of a flat and disoriented Carolina team and scored four big ones. Carey Price notched his first shutout of the season, and Montreal [...]
