I can finally say that the Canadiens completely controlled a game, well maybe not in the shots department. The Canadiens did, however, outplay the Boston Bruins tonight. They moved the puck beautifully and capitalized on most of their chances. They went […]

If Thursday night wasn’t enough for you then get ready for Saturday, when the Montreal Canadiens will play host to the Buffalo Sabres. Like the Senators, the Sabres are packed with offensive skill albeit losing Daniel Briere and Chris Drury to free agency. The Sabres are off to a decent start going 3-2, which in […]

I overheard a rumor today, from someone who knows “people” in the media. Supposedly , his source was suggested that a Montreal forward and defenseman may be headed to an unspecified Western Conference team. Some say that this deal might go down sooner rather than later. Yes, this is an Eklund rumor, who isn’t very […]

Close, but no cigar is a good way to describe tonight’s game. The Canadiens managed to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the third period only to give up a goal just ten seconds later. I thought […]

After Tuesday night’s upsetting loss to the Florida Panthers (second in a row), the Montreal Canadiens will look to upset the heavily favored Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Place tonight. Even though Cristobal Huet played a solid game, Guy Carbonneau has called upon rookie netminder Carey Price to carry the load against the Senators. Moreover, Guy […]

In a surprising move today (or at least to me) Guy Carbonneau has announced that Carey Price will start in goal for the Montreal Canadiens against the Ottawa Senators. Talk about throwing a guy into the wolf’s den. If Carey Price thought Pittsburgh was challenging, he’s in for quite the night against Heatly, Alfreddson, Spezza, […]

The Florida Panthers literally clawed their way back into this game, all thanks to the incredible goaltending of Tomas Vokoun. In a game where that Canadiens should have scored numerous goals, Vokoun held them to one. The Canadiens, […]

After dropping their home opener against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Canadiens will try to rebound with a win over the Florida Panthers. The story of late, has been their lack of offence and their undisciplined play. The Canadiens have 50-PIM in their first 4 games, which averages to 12.5 minutes a game on the penalty […]

After watching Wednesday night’s game, I was questioning the NHL and how they treat Sidney Crosby. During the game, I witnessed more lenience towards Crosby than any other player in the NHL. For example, on Saturday night against the Leafs, Chris Higgins was pushed into Vesa Toskala, a penalty was called for goaltender interference. Let’s […]

After winning in Pittsburgh, largely thanks to rookie goaltender Carey Price, the Canadiens will be playing on home ice for the first time this season. The Canadiens are coming home from their 3-game road trip with lots of momentum. (they took 5 out of a possible of 6 points) Unfortunately, the two games that […]
