Good job Bob
Habs improved
Article online since July 3rd 2009How many of you, dear Habs fans are going to keep on trash-talking big Bob!?! I actively participated in an open forum this week and couldn’t believe how many “Gerant D’estrade” there are out there! Some people think it’s so easy to just simply go out and sign Hossa or Gaborik....
HIT THE POST WITH CJAD'S RICK MOFFAT, VOICE OF THE CANADIENS&ALS
Article online since July 1st 2009Imagine spending $46-mill on Canada Day fireworks and your audience still ain't sure if you're firing Duds or Studs? Is that why Brian Burke was grinning that Grinch-like grin at the Draft last Friday...cuz he knew he was opening the vault for the Koma-saurus? Are you willing to forgive...

Article online since June 30th 2009If you can't get a big centreman is getting a little centre with a big salary really the next best thing? Was Higg living or partying on borrowed time in Montreal ever since the day Carbo stripped him of the A for assistant captain and gave it to Komisarek? To his credit Carbo never made...

Article online since June 29th 2009If Koivu's really out of the Habs' future, will Mike Komisarek be the new captain? Why can't I help thinking of how Koivu's departure from this team will effect the 7th and 8th floors of the Montreal Childrens let alone the ice-level of the Bell Centre? Was I stunned when Bob Gainey discreetly...

Article online since June 27th 2009Didn't I tell you the Habs would make Lecavalier a happy man over Draft Weekend? Too bad it was Philippe Lecavalier, not Vinnie. That's the agent for the most wildly cheered selection of Round 5--Gabriel Dumont. Don't be thinking at 5'9" that Gainey was playing the race card. Trevor...

Article online since June 27th 2009'NEXT GENERATION SAKU'? HABS SHOW 2ND ROUND FINNISH 'I'LL BE HEARTBROKEN IF I DON'T GET TO PLAY WITH HIM': Joonas Nattinen After going homegrown in Round 1 the Canadiens made their second pick in the draft a Koivu for the next generation. Joonas Nattinen is a 6'2" centre who starred...

Article online since June 27th 2009Did the Canadiens draft a Rat in Round 1? Habs fans--you better hope so. A surprising comparison for some when I asked Canadiens scout Denis Morel about Louis Leblanc. "Like Ken Linesman...gritty, high energy, motor's always going." Suffice to say "The Rat" Linesman scored plenty more...

Article online since June 26th 2009Need more evidence Gary Bettman must be impeached? We didn't need proof The Pocket Rocket and the Roadrunner are mortal, did we? Leave it to Gary Bettman to be soundly booed despite having The Roadrunner and the Pocket Rocket on stage with him to open the draft. That should be reason enough...

Article online since June 26th 2009What surprises you more---Federer actually losing 1 set at Wimbledon or Serena gushing over Michael Jackson in her post-victory news conference? I'm sorry but I'm feeling an emotional disconnect from Wacko Jacko's grieving fans. I must confess I'm still creeped out by him. I did win...

Article online since June 25th 2009Who would you rather have dinner with: Sean Avery, Barack Obama, or Anna Kournikova? That's the question the Leafs put to the NHL's top prospects before Draft Weekend. Chicago-native John Moore sounded less than convincing when he told me he picked his President. Me? I'd take Anna...

Article online since June 23rd 2009Will the Molson Brothers be able to entice free agents by offering easier returns on their beer empties? Does clearing out Bulldogs coaches including Don Lever mean no more extra-spicies from Mommesso's? If Chris Jennings makes the Alouettes do you know why they'll have Donovan McNab to...
Free agency
Article online since June 22nd 2009Ladies, welcome back to the 5th edition of we talk hockey. This week’s topic is definitely the most intriguing thus far. We will be discussing the potential future of our Habs. Bob Gainey’s decision making and negotiation skills will make or break our hopes to be a legitimate contender...

Article online since June 18th 2009Is Anthony Calvillo the Saku Koivu of the Als? No, not for the cancer-fighting heroics in the families. For their unappreciated skills, smarts and dedication to their teams. Adrian McPherson looks comfortable in his first CFL start and some Als fans are ready to annoint him as The Future...and...

Article online since June 15th 2009Why do so many Crosby-bashers who say 'Sid's a whiner' come off sounding like whiners themselves? I've got no problem with Crosby getting carried away with the Cup and failing to shake hands with Wings. If that's the harshest thing he's done at 21, he's doing fine. Did you hear Vincent...

Article online since June 11th 2009If the Quebecor-Rene' Angelil bid wins control of the Canadiens will Celine sing the anthem on Centennial night December 4th? As if the Habs need any more media circus attention, wouldn't you worry Peladeau would insist on a Hab frontpage of the Journal EVERY DAY? Since the Labour Solidarity...

Article online since June 8th 2009Isn't it time to give Coach Babcock at honorary phd, McGill? Loved seeing the McGill lucky tie improve its record to 5-1 in the playoffs but I'm still calling Penguins! Isn't it time to give Tony Proudfoot the Order of Canada? It's comforting to see Coach Proudfoot having input at coaches'...
Gainey got it right with Martin hire
Article online since June 5th 2009The Montreal Canadiens got their man: Jacques Martin. And, for many, the hiring of Jacques Martin as head coach, came as a surprise. After all, when was the last time a GM left a team to be a head coach somewhere else? But, was it really a surprise? Probably not. Jacques Martin, is a coach...

Street Hockey in The Spring
No More Local Heroes
Article online since May 22nd 2009A couple of days ago I was walking my dogs in the early evening and came across a street hockey game. The kid wearing the goalie gear was sporting a Habs jersey but as I passed the game, I saw a shot fired at the net and heard “Ohh… Cam Ward with another incredible save”. I have great...

Reality Better Then Fiction
Second Round of Playoffs Rocked
Article online since May 15th 2009I was watching TSN last night and someone (I think James Duthie) said that we were being spoiled by the second round of the playoffs this year. Normally at this time of year if the Canadiens have been knocked out I only pay attention to the NHL playoffs with a casual interest. I follow the...

Article online since May 15th 2009Didn't Claude Julien deserve a better fate? That deja vu turned deja voodoo. Bruins sucker-punched twice in the same series!? Trying to rally the Bruins from 3-1 down in games for the first time in franchise history? Julien had turned that trick 5 years ago for the Canadiens' first-ever...
