There were a lot of passengers in the Habs 2-1 loss to New Jersey. They actually out shot the Devils, but to no avail. Marty Brodeur notches another win and the team gets to regroup while Bob Gainey gets to make decisions about what it will take to pull thisContinue Reading
The Montreal Canadiens do seem to want to play in front of Jaroslav Halak. It’s a conundrum of a wonderful sort as you can never have enough talent. Bob Gainey has played it textbook sticking by his star Goalie Carey Price, but the team seems to be speaking quiteContinue Reading
Alex Ovechkin didn’t score last night, but I’m sure he feels better as the team’s gone winless since trading Chris Clark. Washington came on strong out shooting Montreal 43-26 in their 4-2 victory over Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens. Habs goals were by Benoit Pouliot and Josh Gorges,Continue Reading
Carey Price is a good goaltender. He may even become a great Goaltender. I’m not so sure though that it will happen in a Montreal Canadiens jersey. I’m not so sure Jaroslav Halak will be the long term solution, but it’s appearing that for whatever reason if BobContinue Reading
Calgary scored 3 goals as the Leafs lost again. Edmonton is embroiled in scandal after a group of Oilers allegedly refused to pay their restaurant tab in a Calgary establishment. “Mr. Terrigno said that following a heated exchange, the players left $12,000 after he reduced the bill. Mr. TerrignoContinue Reading
Templates in hockey are funny things. Let me explain. When I created the video tracking system I used for the Habs waaaay back in 1995-96 my theory was that hockey was essentially a laying over of templates. Team A vs Team B based on the personnel and styleContinue Reading
The Montreal Canadiens were actually not out shot last night as they beat Tampa Bay 2-1 in OT. Habs goals were from Brian Gionta and Tomas Plekanec who no longer plays like a “Little Girl.” Carey Price got the win and probably the next start against Florida. Marty Brodeur,Continue Reading
Will Carey Price get the start for the Habs in the next game? That’s the “controversial” question Montreal fans will be asking until the puck drops next. Monday night they dropped a 4-2 loss in Ottawa. The good news is that Benoit Pouliot, acquired for Guillaume Latendresse, scoredContinue Reading
The Habs were out shot 47-25 in their 5-1 storming of the Carolina Hurricanes in Carolina last night. The intoxicating mix of having your best player back and competing against a team driving for the #1 pick in the draft has that effect sometimes. Montreal scored 4 power playContinue Reading
Martin Brodeur is the greatest Goalie to ever put on the pads. Each day that he continues his career further proves and cements his role in hockey history. Last night his 104th shut out broke the record that he had shared briefly with Terry Sawchuk in Pittsburgh no less,Continue Reading
Christmas came early for Montreal fans as Andrei Markov not only returned to the line up, but notched two goals and Jaroslav Halak shut out the NY Islanders last night. The Habs were still out shot 40-28, but Halak stood on his head as he’s been known to do andContinue Reading
Good night to be a Senator’s fan as they shot out a very strong Buffalo team 2-0 in Ottawa. Mike Fisher & Alexandre Picard’s goals were enough and Brian Elliot notched the shut out. The Leafs cost me a Pro Line win last night as they were doubled by PhoenixContinue Reading
It’s official. Andrei Kostitsyn is on fire as he scored 2 more goals in last nights 4-3 Hab loss to Buffalo. Mike Cammallieri picked up another goal as well. While out shot 27-24 it showed how important it is to play for three periods rather than just one orContinue Reading
I told you folks the Leafs would win and they did. Montreal fell in OT to Atlanta 3-2 but it looks like Andrei Kostitisyn is ready for action as he popped in 2 goals. Andrei Markov is skating with the team and it looks like he and Brian GiontaContinue Reading

The Ottawa Senators shut out the floundering Flyers 2-0 on goals from Nick Foligno and Jesse Winchester. Brian Elliot earned the shut out. Wow, is that Philadelphia team one huge mess or what? Montreal was nipped by the Penguins 3-2 in regulation time. Habs goals were by MattContinue Reading
I read a lot of net blogs and news sites. One of the ones I read is Hockey Buzz which features Eric Engels on the Habs. Today he referred to Hockey Independent which has clips from the Habs 100th Anniversary Fest. I started to watch the skate and then decidedContinue Reading
The Habs were outshot again, this time 46-27, but came away with a 4-1 win in Ottawa. Montreal goals were from Mike Cammallieri, Scott Gomez, Andrei Kostitisyn, and Marc-Andre Bergeron who is starting to look like the steal of the season. The good news is that Montreal’s Power Play seemsContinue Reading
