What a finish! What a frantic final few
minutes! What a wild game! I'm scrambling for adjectives,
wondering where this effort came from, while my heart beats like the intro to " Hot For Teacher ". How to assess.... A statement game? A turning point? Not a moment too soon? A ...

I haven't taken a look at this since
the 10 game mark ( October 27 ), but
it seems that the former Habs players are now gaining a slight edge on their current counterparts. At the quarter season point, it is still too soon to draw much of a conclusion, especially considering how ...

Seven days ago, Chris Boyle's
in depth analysis of the Canadiens goaltenders was a
true eye opener on several fronts. Following Carey Price 's record tying performance last night in Nashville, I asked Chris if he would put this one game under his ...

Robert L note: I get e-mails of all
kinds from the site and occasionally I get asked
the odd hockey questions. Generally a reader may simply be soliciting my opinion on something to do with the Habs involving a player and their status, points etc. Recently a reader named Adam Mills ...

Watching the Habs pull one off against the
Coyotes last night, I felt an odd twinge of
interest I had not felt so far this season. It wasn't because the Canadiens were ahead in this game, or because Carey Price seemed to be on top of things, it was because I felt I finally had a new ...

"He's (Maurice Richard) just a wartime hockey player".
This quote came from the mouth of Toronto Maple
Leafs general manager Frank Selke in the mid 1940's, when Richard scored 50 goals in 50 games while World War II raged overseas. While the assumption went more or less undisputed at the time, ...

Life's gotten in the way, so I'll
just have a quick few thoughts on the 1-0
loss to Calgary last night as I was only able to catch maybe half the game up till this point. From what I saw it was a heck of game. Fast, lots of hitting, the obligatory fights, players standing up, ...

When I think of the Calgary Flames
, (in town to play the Habs tonight), thoughts of
1986 and 1989 immediately spring to mind. There are great memories, some not so good, but hearing someone say the Flames name is like playing word association with the hockey flashpoints of ...

Entering the 2009 season the Canadiens franchise had
plenty of unanswered questions. The goaltending question is an eternal
one in Montreal and with both Price and Halak entering RFA years, 2009 should offer no reprieve. Late 2009 has mimicked early 2009 as inconsistency has ...

Apart from Brian Gionta, the Habs top
line can't fight it's way in close. It's no
surprise the lone goal came off Gionta's stick. The skills of Scott Gomez and Mike Cammalleri do not dictate the job description of crashing the D to gain the crease. It's ...

Don't know if it was Benoit Brunet
or Pieere Houde of RDS last night who mentioned
that coach Jacques Martin has tried and done everything to get his team's offense going, but I'll take issue with that. Yes Martin has juggled forward lines, but his changes are ...

Not a post about the Habs

legendary goaltender Jacques Plante drastically changed the face on
hockey by becoming the first netminder to permanently don a mask during games. I have told about Todd Denault's Plante book a few times, but here's a good little read from the ...

One thing that we have all learned
about Jacques Martin so far is that he goes
with a winning hand. A goalie wins and he stays put. The team wins and the line combos that produce remain unchanged. After the all eggs in one basket combo of the Giant Mexican Squid Line (copyright ...
