In this cap age of hockey a team must be aware of its asset management or it ends up like Detroit or Chicago, or sadly, Los Angeles. Going nowhere for the hope of a shot. In the Habs case it’s really bewildering as it’s core has not improved this season and they managed the epic […]
The Habs are off to a good start. With all of the recent historical drama you have to give les boys credit. A win is a win is a win which I’m sure Jean Chretien would agree with. And the team has banked some early season wins. That’s the thing about beating expectation. Geoff Molson […]
Cornwall Ontario – After the draft and free agent frenzy day it appears that Montreal Canadiens fans are in for another very long season. They deserve better. Montreal has had a very clear need. A number one Centre. They also need to rebuild their D after GM Marc Bergevin decimated it last season. It’s a […]
Cornwall Ontario – When I worked for the Habs in the 90’s during that one interesting season when we moved into the Bell Centre and nearly upset the Rangers in the playoffs, trades were run by me. At the risk of being humble my reports and advice to Reggie were dead on accurate. It was […]
Cornwall Ontario – The Christmas break sadly is the funeral song for les boys this season. The injury to Shea Weber didn’t do it. The drama that is Carey Price actually wasn’t either. It was owner Geoff Molson signing off on the strange Rejean Houle type management of his hand picked GM Marc Bergevin. […]
Cornwall Ontario – Habs GM Rejean Houle Marc Bergevin stuck his head out to have a confab with media after their win earlier this week. Last night the team responded to their victory by being shutout by LA in their own bard while goalie Carey Price was mock applauded for make a save late […]
Cornwall Ontario – And now for something completely different. I know. Anything can happen in sports. But in 2017, in a cap age with parity, the odds of the Montreal Canadiens winning Lord Stanley’s Cup are about where that Norwegian Blue is. When you fail in the postseason, fail in the off season, fail in […]
Cornwall Ontario – Well Habs GM Marc Bergevin signed his centre. Peter Holland. I know. A Coyote cast off. Now this is Sunday July 2 at 10:30 AM and it’s still early days, but Mr. Bergevin’s signing of Karl Alzner also was not a sign to get excited about. Alzner’s a decent enough 4th or […]
Cornwall Ontario – You know I lurve you Big Guy. I wrote that the Habs should sign you because it was a perfect marriage. I know you could make more money elsewhere,but should you? Is life all about money? You know the love you felt from Montreal fans. If you help deliver Lord Stanley’s […]
Cornwall Ontario – All GM’s have their ups and down as Hab fans prepare to watch PK Subban enter the realm that is the Stanley Cup final for a team that’s reached it for the very first time ever; coincidently, the first year after trading swapping out their heart, soul, and captain, who never led […]
Cornwall Ontario – I only made playoff pics for the Canadian teams in round one. I went four for five including the Rangers to defeat Montreal in six games. (I wish I was wrong on that one, but the curse of Rejean Houle may be too powerful to ever defeat) I’m not sure I’m a […]
Cornwall Ontario – Is Marc Bergevin having fun yet? After last season which many feel was a tanking more than a failure of the squad this season was supposed to be magical with Carey Price back. Price is back, but his play is a boggling hot mess. Flashes of good quality, but perhaps of […]
No, those are Molson’s. After this season I may never drink a Molson again. While many focus on the injury to Carey Price, a mysterious injury, that most likely will not see the goalie back in net this year and possibly be a career changer we do have some answers. Clearly this team […]
