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 […]
It’s been an interesting year. It’s been a weird year. With very low expectations les boys are firmly in a playoff spot, even if it’s just a wild card one. Carey decided to be Carey once his bud Captain Shea Weber was back and Tie Domi has been a refreshing player to watch. Now this […]
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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – As we wait to see who gets to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup this season (Go PK!) there’s a bit of a lull in the hockey world. The Las Vegas expansion only has so much heat story wise, free agency is looking to be a bore this year and it seems that it’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 know. Montreal fans can be hyper emotional. This isn’t about that. It’s been a long two years for Hab fans. It’s been a long time since their last cup win or even a real close sniff. Montreal isn’t the worst team in the league, but they are far from […]
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 […]
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 […]
