Hmm……Dominic Moore, as a rent a player, for a 2nd rounder? Pierre Gauthier’s first acquisition as Habs GM seems a bit pricey for the one season 7 team NHL’er. When you play for 7 teams in a short period of time it usually means that you’re most likely aContinue Reading
A win is a win is a win. Some are more ugly than others, but Montreal held off the Caps as they stormed back eventually winning in overtime. Montreal goals were by Glen Metropolit, Scott Gomez, Tom Pyatt, Maxim Lapierre, and two by Tomas Plekanec. Carey Price gotContinue Reading
Gainey Finished as GM by Markus Noé After seven seasons as the Montreal Canadiens G.M, Bob Gainey has decided to step down. Assistant GM Pierre Gauthier will take over on an interim basis. This was a make or break year for the former Hab’s player turned GM. His five yearContinue Reading
Wow, what a day for the Leaf Nation. From the low of mourning for GM Brian Burke over the loss of his son in a car wreck to a 5-0 performance over one of the hottest teams in the NHL an rival Ottawa Senators. Luke Schenn and Phil Kessel pickedContinue Reading
What are they feeding those Ottawa Senators and where do I get some? The line up for the Sens doesn’t really strike fear in too many teams, but they keep winning. Good goal tending and maxing out the value of those on the ice, and dare I say goodContinue Reading
There once was a man named Halak Who’s team suffered from lack of attack He stopped all the pucks Chasing them like mice Until Old Bob Gainey traded Carey Price Poetry was never my forte, but then this years Habs aren’t terribly poetic either. Tonight Jaroslav Halak stood onContinue Reading
Geez it’d be fun to play Rotisserie Hockey with Brian Burke. The Leafs General Manager blew some big trades by this weekend dramatically changing the team. He’s acquired Flames Defenseman Dion Phaneuf and Goal tender J.S. Giguere from Anaheim. Both players have costly contracts with Phaneuf’s being long term. Mr. BurkeContinue Reading
Tomas Plekanec didn’t play like a little girl last night. His two power play assists though weren’t enough to give Montreal the win as they fell to the Senators in Overtime in Ottawa. Jaroslav Halak took the loss. My favorite Hab Michael Cammallieri took a huge Anton Volchenkov hit thatContinue Reading
Dallas Star Defenseman Mark Fistric probably will be getting a li’l vacation from the NHL after his scrap with Calgary Flame Eric Nystrom. The two scrapped after a clean hit from Fistrich who managed to pull Nystrom’s helmet off and pummel him with it. Mr. Fistric definitely won the fightContinue Reading
Boy things can get ugly. Carey Price is becoming an enigma at least in Montreal. Scott Gomez racked up 16 penalty minutes in what simply looked like a very frustrating experience for les boys. Ryne O’Byrne racked up another fight as he really is starting to useContinue Reading
Jaroslav Halak keeps building his value; not only to the Montreal Canadiens, but to other NHL GM’s. Last season he was a key factor in the Habs making the play offs, but was sidelined so that the team could pump up Carey Price which resulted in a first roundContinue Reading
With rumors swirling of his imminent departure from Montreal Jaroslav Halak just keeps kicking out the pucks. And why not? He’s worked hard. He’s not said anything dumb; at least into a microphone. He’s been a good citizen in NHL terms and he’s at the point now where he’sContinue Reading
I think the Civic Complex would sell every seat they could fill if this happens. Rumors are swirling that the Ottawa Senators of the NHL will move their Binghamton farm team to Cornwall Ontario. We have no quotes as of press time but will do updates soon. Continue Reading
Jean Beliveau is strong tough man. Hopefully he overcomes his latest battle. He was rushed to hospital today in Montreal. The 78 Year Old Hall of Famer is resting at The Montreal General Hospital and should recover. I’ve had the opportunity to work with the great man inContinue Reading
Alas Georges Laraque has ceased to be a Hab. Montreal General Manager Bob Gainey made the announcement that coach Jacques Martin no longer has a role for Big George with Les Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge. I think the last game where Benoit Pouliot and Josh Gorges had fights showedContinue Reading
This must feel how those Penguins fans felt while Marc Andre Fleury was figuring out whether he was a good or great goalie during his early years. Some goalies like Marty Brodeur have talent, poise, maturity and all those great qualities. Some have them but don’t use them; and someContinue Reading
Busy night in the NHL last night. The Habs had the night off but the other Canadian teams were busy. Phil Kessel scored the game winner as Toronto edged Phoenix. The Leafs jumped out to a 3-0 lead only to fritter it away. Jonas Gustavsson got the winContinue Reading
Looking at the game against the Rangers last night shows some major issues for the les Bleu, Blanc et Rouges. TOUGHNESS. George Laraque was brought it to make the players bigger, but do you really want Benoit Pouliot and Josh Gorges fighting? The recipe for a win was thereContinue Reading
