The Habs are gone, and for now……… No more P.K. Subban wheeling around and rushing like a man possessed, or blasting a missile from the point, or sailing across the ice, fired up, in the moment, to level an oncoming enemy. No more Brendan Gallagher crashing the net, standing firm as bigger opponents try to [...]

Are you strong enough to sit through these? Can your heart take it? You’ve been warned. Chernoble Diaries A group of wholesome American students visit Chernoble twenty-five years after the deadly meltdown, and find themselves stuck in the god-forsaken place when their car battery somehow becomes dead. Horror ensues as a hideous half-man, half-monster, created [...]

Habs 2, Bruins 1. Now that’s hockey! It wasn’t good when Lars Eller pulled Zdeno Chara off-balance and took a seat in the penalty box with just 57 seconds remaining and his team holding on. The goalie was pulled and it was tense. Even tenser than when Lucy drives in the city. But they held [...]

It was a fine night in Boston, a spirited affair between two teams who like to have spirited affairs, and in the end, the Montreal Canadiens rally and beat the Boston Bruins 4-3, and back to the head of the class they go. And they did it with Peter Budaj between the pipes. It was [...]

He’s been mugged by Zdeno Chara, has undergone an emergency appendectomy, and was bitten by Mikhail Grabovski. Hopefully for Max, the weirdness is now over. Things happen in threes, don’t they? Chara got nothing, Grabovski got nothing, and the doctor got a shitload of money. Max got a broken neck, a big scar, and a [...]

Max Pacioretty is one of three finalists for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, presented to the one who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.” Great for Max. Our guy rebounded from the infamous Chara assault and enjoyed his best season ever, leading his team with 33 goals and 32 assists for [...]

Raffi Torres left his feet and knocked Chicago’s Marian Hossa into Kingdom Come, and the hit is all abuzz in the hockey world. Will Torres get ten games, they ask? Five maybe? Twelve? Yes it was brutal. Hossa was taken off on a stretcher and we hope he’s okay. At the risk of looking like an asshole [...]

The fantasy draft is over, the skills competition has wrapped up, we just have to get through what passes for a game, and All-Star weekend will draw to a close. My prediction for today’s game? Hmm. I’d say Team Chara over Team Alfredsson. Maybe a low-scoring affair - 31 to 24. And later on, Botox salesmen [...]

Another year older and deeper in debt. Etc. 2011 had some fine moments for Habs fans, and unfortunately, some not-so-fine moments. So let’s have a glimpse at what happened in this Year of the Rabbit. And please keep in mind, things aren’t in order here. That would be way too normal. Carey Price posed with his arms crossed after a win, which [...]

Darth was screwing around on his computer last year and made this totally unnacceptable picture of innocent Bruins players wearing knee socks and funny shorts, and if any of you Bruins fans don’t find it funny and want to bring Darth down, I don’t blame you. His address is 11 Gomez St., Shaved Head, Saskatchewan. But keep in mind, [...]
