January 14, 2021 – What can a Habs fan say? Their high priced goalie failed badly and allowed the Leafs to stay in a game they weren’t really in or deserved to win. Toronto outshot the Habs 34-32 on a strong second period. 🚨 JOSH ANDERSON – 2ND OF THEContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It’s going to be a sad season in Montreal. Like many others I have no idea why such a legendary team has run itself into the ground. The team just named Shea Weber Captain. Honestly they should be trying to salvage value and be looking to moveContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – The litany of issues facing Sens owner Eugene Melnyk is bewildering. While there’s always a back story to most issues, the face of the slide for the team started with the handling of fan fave Daniel Alfredsson. That it was played out as much in public asContinue Reading
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 hisContinue Reading
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’sContinue Reading
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 yearContinue Reading
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)Continue Reading
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 momentContinue Reading
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 ofContinue Reading
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 playingContinue Reading
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 tankingContinue Reading
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 allContinue Reading
I have a distinct perception of how The Habs work in a sense. In the 90’s I was their first videographer and created systems far ahead of what we today call analytics. Some of the tools I created way back then still have not been matched. We tend toContinue 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. Montreal saw some lottery tickets. Alex Semin, Zach Kassian, and Tomas Fleischman. While “Flash”Continue Reading
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 haveContinue Reading
While many Habs fans are in the doldrums over the team’s epic fall from grace including a record month of losses pressure is mounting on GM Marc Bergevin. The Wunderkind is under the gun to resolve issues on the team that simply have not been addressed. As Zack KassianContinue Reading
As good as the Habs were in their first twenty games this season is as bad as they’ve been since. Many of the top teams in the league have had injuries. Yes, the one to Price is a biggie, but the loss of Brendan Gallagher and yes, Alex SeminContinue Reading
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
