Cornwall ON – A win is a win is a win. Bad penalty, bad goals, all seem different when you get the W for the night as Montreal did over rival Boston Bruins and folks, Montreal desperately needed this win in front of the home crowd. I love comeContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – The Leafs won a game! They beat St. Louis 6-5 in the shoot out. Toronto spread the scoring around with no player getting more than two points on the evening. That’s good news for Leaf fans as they get to showcase some potential talentContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Russia did something most hockey teams could never do. They came back and beat a Canadian Hockey team for the Gold in the 2011 World Juniors tonight in Buffalo. I’ve always felt that stats are for losers. Winning it all is what it’s all aboutContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – The Price was not right for Montreal as they lost a heart breaker in OT to Atlanta today. All the right people scored for Montreal; Captain Gionta, PK Subban, and Tomas Plekanec, but Carey Price has not been the Carey Price that started the season. Whether fatigueContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Nothing beats the Wiz! James Wisniewski is making the most of his start with his new team. From speaking some French with his first meet and greet wit the local barracudas media to notching two goals last night giving Montreal a much needed 3-2 victory overContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Well the Habs have their new Defenceman, but still are playing like….smoked meat. They’re tinkering with falling out of eight place in the conference. According to the rumor mills, GM Pierre Gauthier is working on another blockbuster deal, but it’s a tough market out there. MontrealContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Busy day in Hockey land Kiddies! The Flames finally dumped Darryl Sutter as GM. The team, which has been a roiling mess the last few seasons has Jay Feaster taking the helm for the balance of the year. Much safe political speak in theContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Boxing Day 2010 may go down as the pivotal day or the boys had a really good Christmas and left their A game back home in Montreal as the Habs lost to the Islanders 4-1. There wasn’t much good to say about the game that saw Montreal have aContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Things are better in Hab land as the team managed to eke out a win against Carolina. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a win. 3-2 with Scott Gomez potting a goal along with Andei Kostitsyn and Alex Picard. PK Subban was back in the dogContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Two losses to two teams Montreal should have beaten. Montreal lost 5-2 to a Dallas team that’s been winning, but is beatable. For this squad to win, like many, it truly has to play like a team. There have been distractions and hurdles this season. Continue Reading
Cornwall ON – The Habs fell to the Avalanche 3-2 Sunday night. It was….an odd game for Montreal and the stats don’t tell a lot. It shows that Scott Gomez recorded a point in game and took 5 shots, but that fellow wingers Max Pacioretty and Brian Gionta wereContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – To me Maurice Richard, “The Rocket” was the Babe Ruth of Hockey. Maybe not the best player ever, but to me and many of you surely “The Greatest” ever to wear a sweater. I had the luck and privileged to work with The Rocket for a few yearsContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Michael Cammalleri is my favorite Hab for many reasons. He also makes $6 Million bucks and is a star of the team. While you don’t want to see your $6 Million Dollar Man fightin it was good to see Mikey safe and sound after droppingContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Max Pacioretty wanted Top Six minutes in the NHL and he got them last night vs Philadelphia. Montreal lost 5-3. It was a critical game. If you listened to the media, like team990 in Montreal there was a lot of chatter about PK Subban vsContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Well Habs fans here comes Max Pacioretty. The youngster, back from the AHL with some good numbers and more confidence may just be what Montreal needs to get their top six moving forward again. 82 games is a long season and of course it’s only aContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Carey Price had the night off. It was Alex Auld’s third game of the season and either he needs more work or he’s really not a NHL goalie. The Habs had to fight back from a 2-0 deficit, but didn’t have the horsepower to get the jobContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Scoring the first goal of a game is important. Scoring the winning goal is better. The Habs struck first, but then were struck by the officiating in their 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in Detroit. 3 straight penalties led to a 5-3 where DetroitContinue Reading
Cornwall ON- If I had to name a MVP for the Habs so far this season it would be Roman Hamrlik. Salary sometimes in the NHL defines players and magnifies situations. Many Hab fans wanted Roman gone because of his salary, but forget quickly that until recently a premiumContinue Reading
