Guy Carbonneau says he never saw it coming.
Just about everyone else, however, did.
Carbonneau spoke to the media yesterday for the first time since being fired Mar. 9, in the hours after a Canadiens’ 3-1 over the Dallas Stars in Dallas. Despite Montreal’s struggles this season, Carbonneau told a packed house at the Bell Centre yesterday [...]

HABS THROUGH CARBO’S EYES

HABS DON’T HAVE TO GO FAR FOR LATEST ACQUISITION
Some 24 hours after dispatching the popular Steve Begin to Dallas, Canadiens GM Bob Gainey found that depth centreman he was looking for.
And he didn’t have to go far, to get him.
After the Habs arrived in Philadephia for last night’s gme against the Flyers, they announced the acquisition of Glen Metropolit off waivers from the Flyers. Which meant that [...]

HALAK TO THE RESCUE
It’s not hard to see why, with five minutes to play in last night’s game against the Vancouver Canucks, Habs’ netminder Jaroslav Halak decided to take advantage of a stoppage in play to skate the bench for a swig of water.
At the time, the Canadiens were clinging to a 2-0 lead, with Halak and the [...]

KOVALEV SHINES IN SPOTLIGHT
Did you expect anything less from Alex Kovalev?
With the spotlight on number 27, for all the wrong reasons, Kovalev returned to action yesterday, scored a goal and added two assists, to help power the Canadiens to a 5-3 win over a stubborn Ottawa Senators hockey club.
The chant “Kovy, Kovy, Kovy” rang through the Bell Centre [...]

WINNING STREAK SNAPPED AT ONE
When the Montreal Canadiens initially released their February practice schedule, they had ice time pencilled in at their facility in Brossard for noon today.
Maybe they should use it.
Then again, why bother. Nothing seems to be working for this Habs‘ team that fell 4-2 in Vancouver last night, in a game the featured more of the [...]

FINALLY. A WIN. ON THE ROAD.
The Montreal Canadiens can thank Jaroslav Halak for their first win on the road after seven straight setbacks.
Halak was outstanding (something you haven’t been able to say about either of the two Montreal netminders for almost a month) in Montreal’s 4-2 win over the struggling Colorado Avalanche last night. The backup netminder, who is sure [...]

EARLY EXIT FOR HALAK IN ATLANTA
It wasn’t supposed to end this way for Jaroslav Halak.
After taking the team through a very respectable 6-2 run while Carey Price was out nursing an ankle injury, Halak made his 9th consecutive start last night in Atlanta against the Thrashers.
By the time the game was 30:58 seconds old, Halak was on his way to [...]

HABS BAIL OUT HALAK
It’s not too often you can win a hockey game when your netminder gives up a goal every six shots.
But that’s exactly what happened at the Bell Centre this afternoon, as the Canadiens blew a pair of two-goal leads to salvage a 6-5 shootout victory over the Florida Panthers.
The goaltender in question: Jaroslav Halak. Head [...]

PACIORETTY PRODUCES IN 1ST NHL GAME
It didn’t take long for Max Pacioretty to make an impact at the NHL level.
Pacioretty, one of four members of the Hamilton Bulldogs called up by the Canadiens this week as a result a growing list of injured players, scored in his very first NHL game, on his very first shot, against the New Jersey [...]

CANADIENS EMBARRASSED YET AGAIN
Matt D’Agostini?
Sure, why not.
While you’re at it, how about Max Pacioretty, Ben Maxwell, Ryan White, Gregory Stewart, and Yannick Weber.
And throw in Brock Trotter, Chad Anderson, Alex Henry and Yanick Lehoux.
Let’s not forget Mike Glumac.
Hey, it worked last night for the Washington Capitals.
With a slew of players out with injuries, the Caps iced a team [...]
