Wow, now that was a spanking. The Habs are not the type of team that has any chance of winning by half measures and last night was evidence of that as Pittsburgh spanked them mightily. Sydney Crosby led the way for the Penguins with a Hat Trick and old manContinue Reading
Duck is a dish best served on Ice if you’re the Leafs who won doubling Brian Burke’s old team 6-3 thanks to Niklas Hagman’s hat trick. Could this be the spark to trigger a huge winning streak like the Habs? Methinks not, but congrats to Toronto on gettingContinue Reading
Wow, how did that happen? I turned off the game when the Habs fell behind 3-1, but it looks like my new favorite Hab Mike Cammallieri turned a Hat Trick and gave the sell out Saturday night crowd their money’s worth which is good as his salary is big enough!Continue Reading
This is a new feature we’re tinkering with. We are going to suggest some NHL Pro Line Picks. Please note that if you play these and lose it’s at your own risk! Of course if you play these and win feel free to make a donation to The Cornwall FreeContinue Reading
The Montreal Canadiens outshot the NY Islanders 43-22 in a dominating game at the Bell Centre last night. Glen Metropolit is the man as he notched two assists. Is it me or does this team simply play better in front of Jaroslav Halak? Scoring came from the right suspects, manyContinue Reading
Tonight’s game features the Islanders visiting the Canadiens who want to get a winning streak rolling. L I N K Ah Sergei, the last days of Sergei; after the drama with Alex “Big Dawg” Kovalev last year I can well imagine what Bob Gainey thinks of his young winger’s dramaContinue Reading
Eric Engels had a super entry on Hockey Buzz. L I N K The Habs aren’t quite as bad as their record, but not quite as good as hoped for. What’s for sure is that Bob Gainey, to keep his job, has to show what separates the winners from theContinue Reading
The Habs continue their Leafish behavior dropping another game, at home, to rival Ottawa Senators. My new favorite Hab Mike Cammalleri scored in the losing cause. Boy were there a lot of no shows for the Habs tonight. Coach Martin is going to have to figure this out because it’sContinue Reading
13 games on the schedule today,but all eyes in Montreal and Ottawa will be on Alex Kovalev and how he does in his first game against the Habs. Kovalev caused controversy during the exhibition season when he was quoted wanting to return to Montreal to end his career. It’s funnyContinue Reading
Do the Montreal Canadiens really need to beat the Leafs at losing? The Habs dropped their home opener 3-2 last night. I turned off my tv after watching the team allow an end to end rush that resulted in a goal being deflected off of a Hab skitter by CareyContinue Reading
Busy for a Monday in Hockey Land. The Leafs continue their losing ways as the New York Rangers bagged them 7-2. That 1st Round pick they gave up for Kessel is starting to look awfully good for Boston. The Senators fell 4-1 to Pittsburgh while Edmonton drilled Nashville 6-1 withContinue Reading
Montreal lost another game, this time to Edmonton 3-2; they came out fighting outshooting the Oilers 35-19 only to see Edmonton score the 1st goal which they never rallied from. Roman Hamrlik and Brian Gionta scored. Carey Price collected the loss. The Sens doubled Atlanta 4-2. Alex “Big Dawg” Kovalev Continue Reading
Getting two wins in the bank probably was the best of all starts for Jacques Martin and the Montreal Canadiens. The two losses on the Western swing; especially last nights 7-1 beating by Vancouver are the kind of performances that cost people jobs. The Habs were actually worse last nightContinue Reading
Sometimes the score of a game can be deceptive. Last night was one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen a Habs team offer up. It’s awfully hard to score when you spend more time in your end of the rink than the oppositions so I give the Habs creditContinue Reading
That greedy Dominic Moore turned down a lot of money from the Leafs only to get a 1 year minimum wage gig with Florida. Hope that teaches a few hockey players and their agents a lesson in the future. This year seems to be full of examples of players overpricingContinue Reading
S C O R E S Wow, 30 teams 15 games, a whole lot of Hockey. It’s Saturday night in Canada! The Habs gutted out a 2-1 win over Buffalo. In spite of missing Andrei Markov goals by Travis Moen and Brian Gionta were all Carey Price needed to getContinue Reading
All 30 teams play tonight. That’s a whole lot of hockey. Montreal Canadiens D man Andrei Markov will be out for at least 3 months after a tendon injury in a collision with Carey Price in the Habs season opener against the Leafs. Rumblings are that Patrice Brisebois will beContinue Reading
