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.

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
I blame Michael Peeling of the Free-Holder for writing this STORY. All day I’m getting emails and phone calls asking why I haven’t linked to or written about it. Frankly it’s the same reason I feel for CBSA officers in the bridge crisis. They’re stuck in the middle. IContinue 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
Boy Réjean Bélanger is going to have to earn his bucks in this case. Justice moves very slowly in this world. In the case of Teiohontathe Fallan Davis it’s taken over four years of her life. During this time she’s not only had to suffer the wounds ofContinue Reading

L I N K Methinks a coach will be fired? Too many men on the field led the Als to the Grey Cup in the dying seconds of the game. Saskatchewan was celebrating on the sidelines, and the game looked like it was over as Montreal missed aContinue Reading
