Gionta may be out, Markov may be in rehab, but the cavalry is coming.
The cavalry in the immediate sense consists of hapless Georges Laraque (who admittedly will be a minor upgrade over even more hapless Greg Stewart) and Ryan O'Byrne.
Ryan O'Byrne had a very nice training camp as you all ...

Yesterday, I wrote about Gionta's injury and the resulting need for a serious evaluation of the Canadiens status at this point. Your response was passionate and thoughtful as usual.
I'm not sure where we netted out on the response, but apart from a few people I've spoken to, most seem to agree ...

It's official, Brian Gionta is injured.
According to RDS reports, Gionta will be out for an undetermined length of time.
This injury sends ripples through the whole lineup, meaning a less effective #1 line and PP, to be served up with less effective lines #2-4 and PK. Gionta is the fourth ...

When the Habs score that first goal: 6-1,
when they don't 2-9. You can ask for more
first goals, but that's not a strategy to pin your hat on. I think it's time the Canadiens learned how to play from behind...

Won't see Tobalev so chirpy after a loss
very often, better have a look. Maybe it's because
our goalie actually prevented a 4 goal game for the first time in living memory...

As the game unfolded the other night against
Tampa, it marked the 16th game of the season
that we had begun without our all-star Andrei Markov. It may not sound like much, but it's the first time since Andrei made the NHL grade that he has missed more ...

Game #15 Price Drops the Ball...Again
I've told you all about Francois Gagnon before, but let me assure you I wouldn't be writing this article today if I wasn't irate.
Yesterday, Gagnon on a slow news day once again took up his favourite topic: Andrei Kostitsyn. It's another in a long line of attacks on the player, as Gagnon slowly ...

RDS is reporting that some sharp-shooting Habs player has finally managed to hit the target.
It happened in practice, mind you, but the Canadiens recipient of play of the week (unnamed in the report) hit Hal Gill in the foot. It appears that the shot was both accurate and forceful enough to ...
