GAINEY DESERVED BETTER

The lukewarm reception that Habs’ General Manager Bob Gainey received during Friday night’s Centennial Celebrations at the Bell Centre left me shaking my head.
Regardless of what you think of the job Gainey is doing as general manager of this hockey team,  he deserved more than the tepid response he got from Habs’ fans Friday night, [...]

GIVE ME A BREAK

So, Guillaume Latendresse is relieved that he’s no longer a member of the Montreal Canadiens.
Well, you know what, Guillaume?  There are plenty of Habs’ fans who feel the same way.
Talk about taking the low road.  After Latendresse was sent packing to Minnesota yesterday for another underachiever, forward Benoit Pouliot,  number 84 expressed his relief that the Canadiens traded him. It [...]

IT’S TIME TO SEE WHAT SERGEI CAN DO

It’s time to see what Sergei Kostitsyn can bring to the table.
After being banished to Hamilton and the American Hockey League Bulldogs for the past dozen games (which included a stint on the sidelines as a result of injury problems), it’s time for the Montreal Canadiens to give Sergei Kostitsyn another shot at the big time.
Seriously.  [...]

HABS SPECIAL TEAMS NOT SO SPECIAL

Hard to believe that a few short years ago,  Sheldon Souray’s booming shot was leading an effective Montreal Canadiens’ power play.
When Souray left town as an unrestricted free agent, the Habs managed to replace that blast from the point with Mark Streit, a surprisingly effective acquisition from Switzerland who, two years ago, blossomed as an offensive threat in [...]

GOALTENDING CONTROVERSY BREWS IN CYBERSPACE

Cyberspace is all a-twitter over comments made by Alan Walsh, the agent for Habs’ goaltender Jaroslav Halak.
Walsh insists he was just having a little fun, when he took a poke at Carey Price’s record of late following Montreal’s 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday night at the Bell Centre.
He did so when he [...]

HABS IN SURVIVAL MODE

Circle your calendar:  February 2, 2010, when the Vancouver Canucks are in town to play the Montreal Canadiens.
That’s the day the Canadiens are hoping to have Andrei Markov back in their lineup.  Markov, who was injured in the very first game of the regular season against Toronto when he had his tendon sliced in a [...]

HABS TURN PAGE ON OCTOBER

For all the hand-wringing that accompanied the Montreal Canadiens through the first month of the regular season, the Habs find themselves a .500 hockey team after posting a 7-7 record through the month of October. 
The most glaring statistic to come out of October is the fact that the Habs have won a grand total of [...]
