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
Busy slate of games in the NHL last night. Montreal was still out shot in a sleeper of a game, They won 3-1 via goals by Andrei Kostitisyn, Marc-Andre Bergeron and my new favorite Hab Mike Cammallieri, but shots were 15 -13 for Philly. Georges Laraque madeContinue Reading
I was going to write this story last night, before the game, but decided not to. I couldn’t imagine this team losing after the emotion of the evening which saw almost every living Montreal Canadien’s legend on the ice including many that I’d worked with in the past. AsContinue Reading
Being outshot 23-37 doesn’t win you a whole lot of hockey games. Not drawing penalties isn’t a winning formula either. Hall Gill & Paul Mara in the same D corps…..um,erm…..with Ryan O’Byrne isn’t reminiscent of Pointu, Bird, and Serge. It’s not even reminiscent of Jacques Laperierre. The goodContinue Reading
Not a fun morning to write about hockey for me. Somehow the Habs lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0 last night. And that with the starting goalie going off to the hospital with a racing heart. Back up Joey MacDonald came in and finished the shutContinue Reading
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK5mDZIH5bQ&feature=player_embedded What can you say about Alex Ovechkin that hasn’t been said before? He plays with utter abandon and love for the game and winning hockey. He will not have the longest career in the NHL, but it will be one of the most exciting. The man playsContinue Reading
Phil Kessel’s 2 goal 5 shot night led the Toronto Maple Leafs past Florida 6-4. Jonas Gustavsson got the win. Alexei Ponikarovsky had a goal and 3 assists while logging over 20 minutes of ice time. Calgary shut out Detroit 3-0 as the Wings woes continue. Edmonton lost 5-4Continue Reading
Marian Hossa likes his new team. He potted 2 goals in his first game back from injury as the Black Hawks destroyed the San Jose Sharks 7-2 in San Jose. Cristobal Huet earned yet another win. Joe Thornton, thinking this was a play off game came through withContinue Reading
What an odd and plucky bunch the Montreal Canadians are this season. My favorite Hab, Mike Cammallieri scored his 12th of the season as the Habs came back and stole a game 5-3 backed by Marc-Andre Bergeron’s 2 goal, 8 shot attack on the Blue Jackets. Carey Price fendedContinue Reading
L I N K Bye Bye Guillaume. Alfred Ontario native Benoit Pouliot is now a Hab. The 200 pound centre was drafted just before Carey Price in the 1st round of 2005, but has not achieved much success as of yet. In other words he plays kinda light althoughContinue Reading
They say when the going gets tough, the tough get weird. With Gionta now down, and Markov still a long way away would the Canadians grabbing Dion Phaneuf help or hurt? There’s been quite a bit of chatter coming through here about this possible trade. Phaneuf’s cap hit isContinue Reading
What was with those Blue & White Habs jersey’s last night? That’s just wrong and the hockey gods responded by allowing Montreal to lose to a tired looking Detroit team 3-2 in the shoot out. My favorite Hab Mike Cammallieri had two goals and tried hard to notch theContinue Reading
So you lose your best player. The difference between Winners and Leafs is how you deal with ADVERSITY. ADVERSITY: A state of hardship or affliction; misfortune. So you lose a few more players and some of your other stars have hiccups in their growth curves. Now standing inContinue Reading

NHL SCORES 3 points each from Tomas Plekanec & Marc Andre Bergeron led to a 4-2 win on the road in Phoenix. Mike Cammallieri, Brian Gionta, Glen Metropolit, and Mr. Bergeron scored; Carey Price facing only 20 shots kept the Coyotes to 2 goals. Ray Emery got to get someContinue Reading
Phil Kessel had one goal and helped on another as the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-1. Why do I always look so smart when I don’t play? It’s like your regular 649 numbers coming in the night you don’t play! We scored 7 out of 8Continue Reading

What is it with the Habs and Carey Price. They seemed to start ok, but then the wheels fell off. Sure there are injuries, but the team does seem perform better in front of Jaroslav Halak?? Last night 2 goals from Brian Gionta were not enough as the Habs lostContinue Reading
