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 – With the Habs falling off the edge of bubble and the team showing no signs of progress it looks like owner Geoff Molson is considering some moves. When rumor sites start talking about certain types of rumors that means a name is in play. Multiple sites have mentioned Pacioretty. If the Habs […]
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 – Short of pulling a rabbit out of his hat and using some of that $8M in cap space, Habs GM Marc Bergevin is in a tricky position that might see him lose his job. After consistently overpaying for less valuable assets the Habs are in a position of weakness and a clear […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s been a disastrous two years for Habs GM Marc Bergevin. When owner Geoff Molson fires him this season he won’t be able to say that he wasn’t given every opportunity to win in Montreal. Five seasons with no true improvement in the roster during the cap era is not good for […]
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 – It’s time to bring Hall of Fame Hab Legend Larry Robinson home. To his hockey home. With Michel Therrien gone and JJ Daigneault’s track record, there’s no better time or reason to not bring Big Bird back to Montreal. Playing in Montreal has challenges that Mr. Robinson clearly has the […]
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 – Getting fired as a coach in professional sports is part of the job. This season five coaches have fallen; many with over five years of tenure. Michel Therrien’s days were numbered after rumbles of a quote condemning first year captain Max Pacioretty over the Summer. The moment in this video below spelled […]
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 […]
Cornwall Ontario – I don’t know, but I could’ve sworn running up the score in pro sports was considered pretty skanky, but this season we’ve seen at least two games involving the Habs have scores of 10 goals. Last night Montreal Captain Max Pacioretty padded his stats notched four goals as les boys not only […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – This has been an interesting season for the Montreal Canadiens. When I wrote in March that the Habs should go hard to land Alex Radulov I had a hunch he was primed to make a major contribution to the team. Combined with Carey Price’s return, and Shea Weber proving he’s not […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – After going through one of the worst seasons in franchise history, Montreal is once again riding high to kick off their season. Carey Price is back and playing well. There have been few surprises from this squad although not too many expected them to be playing as well as they have […]
Cornwall Ontario – Last season was a bleak year for Canadian hockey fans as nary a single franchise made it to the play offs from North of the border. The Habs had an historic and epic fail after goalie Carey Price was injured. Some murmured about giving up or tanking for the season and many […]
Alas Montreal fans have been rending their garments since the loss of the much beloved PK Subban. For a 2nd round draft pick PK did well. He won a Norris, excelled when it counted, the play offs, and entertained the fans. Sadly, Montreal being Montreal, language politics impact all facets of life and the […]
Tick Tock, tick tock. July 1st is coming fast, but what’s coming faster is the NHL draft. While there are many arguments that can be made about trading any player PK Subban is an interesting case. For whatever reason he’s had a bit of a rough ride in Montreal. In a CAP world when you […]
