Kyle Turris Bad Deal for Ottawa – Adieu Jacques Martin – Habs Future is All or Rejean Houle Time – December 18, 2011
CFN – In professional sports Character is very important. It’s something I agree with Bob Gainey about. Mind you I’m not lopping SANITY into character. Warriors win Stanley Cups and Championships; not Primadona’s generally. Players that go that extra mile under the hardest extremes. Hockey has its own special areas. Standing up [...]
Ted Bird is Kinda Right on Habs Coach Jacques Martin – Montreal loses to Philly 4-3 – commentary by Jamie Gilcig – December 16, 2011
