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.

The Montreal Canadiens are a not your average hockey team. They may have played like that for too many years, but they are the gold standard for the sport of Hockey. They are akin to the NY Yankees in Baseball. Winning, and winning it all is an expectation and alwaysContinue Reading
Going into this season Habs GM Marc Bergevin made very few impact changes. Washington for example, clearly saw a need for some secondary scoring support and nabbed TJ Oshie, and Justin Williams.

So we’re just over the quarter mark of the 2015/16 NHL and so far the biggest transaction by the Habs has been the long term resigning of GM Marc Bergevin. Frankly I can’t complain. While I might not agree with some of his moves, you have to admit theContinue Reading
With a week before the puck drops to start another season of NHL hockey the big question is what is GM Marc Bergevin’s plan? No major moves were made in the off season. Most of the moves seem to be internal. Alex Galchenyuk moves to Centre, Lars Eller movesContinue Reading
