About Nick »

I have been a freelance writer for about 4 years and a Hockey/Habs fan for about 30.

I was born in Montreal but moved to Vancouver when I was 9 only to move back to "La Belle Province" when I was 26 and have been here ever since.

My take on the sports world is that we should be passionate about it but at the same time be able to step back and call a spade a spade. So although I might be Hab influenced, I'll be the first to call them on a boner move.

I am presently co-owner and sportswriter for thefranchiseradio.net and freelance for thehockeyfamily.com as well as host a bi-weekly hockey podcast with them. I can be presently heard on a weekly sports talk radio show every Sunday from 8:30-10:30 on CJLO AM 1690 in Montreal where we cover the Habs, Impact and Juniors as well as the grassroots and mainstream MMA news.

Looking forward to chatting with you !

    1979. Semi-final playoff series against Canadiens vs Boston. Up by a goal with less than two minutes left in the seventh game, the Bruins were penalized for having too many men on the ice. The Canadiens' Guy Lafleur scored the tying goal on the subsequent power play and ultimately won the game in overtime. Montreal went on to defeat the New York Rangers for their fourth straight Cup title.

    Greetings fellow Habs community member,

    The playoffs are starting in just two days, and while we are all gearing up with our lucky jerseys and our favourite beers (for those who are legally old enough), our beloved Canadiens are getting ready to make the most of the new chance that has been given to them with this playoff ticket.

    Exciting times, exciting times.

    Bleacher has always been a place of gathering and debating for us Hockey fans. This time again, we will take the playoffs and our views in our own writings, with a series of articles in partnership with the Boston Bruins community (details in the following link).

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/155874-a-call-to-arms-for-bruins-and-habs-writers

    So please come in and be part of it, to add to our already exciting playoffs atmosphere!

    Comments, suggestions and ideas are more than welcomed on the Community Leaders’ boards. Tell us what you think, what you want to add and such!

    Happy playoffs and GO HABS GO!

    Hey, how are you?

    I am trying to survey our community on what we can do, regarding the All-Star game. Like tributes, roundtable articles, stuffs like that.

    I kinda spread a roundtable idea around … on which player, and why him, to send there.

    If u have any idea, let me know! It would be fun to work on it together!

    Go Habs,
    Miah ;)

    yep im serious for the little phrase,
    I guess the Habs deserve the highest honours for the centenary (and for the great season), it would be nice to make the Habs community a little more special!

    what do u think?!
    but I dont know how to make it accepted by the members ,

    do u have any idea on how we can work on that?

    no pb for the link!
    so what do u think about the Mat Schneider rumour? Do we really need a D-man anyway? well, its just a rumour ...
    anyways, here's to another amazing season, with hopefully a better ending!

    ps: ur little quote down the end of the article "in Gainey we trust ..." is pretty cool ! we should make up one for the Habs community on BR! lol

    u're welcome for the comment.
    yeah, I saw on ur bio that u're a die hard Habs fan. well, I am sorry I did not introduce myself a little earlier! so I'll do it the formal way (lol!): I am Miah and I am the Canadiens community leader on BR. as u saw on my bio, whenever u feel like talking about the Habs or any team, I am always up for the debate!

    as I said in my latest comment, there will be a few articles in our community over the next few weeks concerning the Habs contracts signing. stuffs like whould say/go and so on.
    Among our future subjects of debates: the fact of having an experienced goalie instead of Halak to replace Price / what to do with Koivu and Kovalev / what kind of players should Gainey seek on the free agent market.
    our dear Bob already started discussions with Kostitsyn, which is good new.
