Yesterday was the first NHL hockey game for most fans since the end of the Olympics. After two weeks of some of the best hockey ever played anywhere, ever, I had to admit that it was a little difficult to get into last night's game...
Bombs over Broadway. That's what must certainly be going on in New York this morning. If not this morning, then for sure after last night's 3-1 win by the Habs over the Rangers in New York...
Raise your hand everyone who thought that the Habs would have three out of four wins and six out of eight points on their post-Olympic West Coast road trip. Not all at once now...
Last night, Maxim Lapierre, of the Montreal Canadiens, decided to commit a vicious and dirty hit on Scott Nichol, of the San Jose Sharks. This hit was completely uncalled for, and, more importantly, extremely dangerous...
Free advertising is good. Someone should tell Gary Bettman this so that he stops hinting at the end of a relationship between the NHL and Olympic hockey, a relationship that may very well save his sport...
Rarely does a professional hockey player find themselves being released from an NHL team, playing overseas in a European league, and then finding their way back to an NHL team in the thick of a playoff hunt...

The Olympic tournament has been quite a treat for hockey fans all around the world, but it will all be coming to an end, and most of the players will return to their respective leagues and continue on their journey toward a league title...
Despite lengthy injuries to a number of their star players this season, the Canadiens find themselves in a tie for sixth Place in the Eastern Conference...
I like Palushaj a lot, since his days in the USHL and the two years at Michigan. D'Agostini was an overachiever up to this season, but the magic seems to have run out for him...
So, after 8 years of breathless articles on the brilliance of the musclebound dwarfish lab assistant to the evil Bozo Gainey, have we had enough? All those wasted words about "stealing" prospects like (the balding Belarussian mullet), A...
It seems as though something has lit a fire under the Kostitsyn Brothers in Montreal. While there is no telling whether the reason is Olympics, injury, media scrutiny or just a will ...
The Olympic break seems to have done a lot of good for the Montreal Canadiens. Not only did they get their walking wounded back from injuries—with the exception of Michael Cammalleri and ...

Montreal 4 Boston 1 (TD Garden) The Olympics are over. It's funny. I found that I don't get tired of sports on my television 22 hours per day. Maybe that's not surprising. There was a dose of reality...
When the 09-10 season began, there was indeed an air of hope for Montreal Canadiens fans. Bob Gainey had aquired some big names like Gomez, Gionta, Cammalleri...
With three days off between Habs games, we are all left with plenty of time to sit and think. To think about the incredible six-game winning the streak the Habs are on. To think about the upcoming Saturday night matchup against the Leafs at the ACC...
The Montreal Canadiens are playing their best hockey of the season right now. They are 7-1 since the Olympic break ended and are on a 6 game winning streak. I'd say a few things have made this good play possible...
As we bask in the glow of the Canadiens' 5-game winning streak—they've actually won six of their last seven—there are a few things that I have noticed are giving the Habs success, of late...
Well it wasn't the classic Habs-Bruins matchup that we were expecting, but it was an entertaining game never-the-less. With both teams fighting for their playoff lives this four-point, head-to-head game was massively important for both teams...
