Scott Gomez: Montreal Canadiens' Captain?

Scott Gomez spent two seasons playing in New York and they definitely weren't the greatest years of his career. After thriving as a New Jersey Devil, the NHL's first Latin-American player crossed ...

Montreal Canadiens: With Training Camp Comes a New Hope

Training camp is finally upon us. After months of criticizing, hypothesizing, and speculation, we can finally bear witness to the brand spanking new Montreal Canadiens. The five-year plan is over—a new one is about to begin...

Saku Koivu: Montreal Canadiens Fans Will Miss You

Today is bittersweet for me. On one hand, I am elated about the free-agent signings. Bob Gainey finally got the impact player(s) he's been looking for all these years. But not without a loss...

Alex Kovalev, Saku Koivu, Alex Tanguay, Mike Komisarek, Robert Lang, Tom Kostopoulos, Mathieu Schneider, Francis Bouillion, Mathieu Dandenault, and Patrice Brisebois...

2009 NHL Conference Finals: The Beginning of the End of Fun

That was just downright boring. After two fantastic rounds, culminating with 3-of-4 series going to a seventh, deciding game, I guess I thought we'd be in for a treat...

The 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thus Far: A Bitter Fan's Perspective

I really love hockey. It consumes my thoughts most hours of the day. I'd be lying if I said that I've never had dreams of hoisting the Cup—or vivid nightmares pertaining to playoff elimination, for that matter...

Montreal Canadiens Fans: Welcome Back to the Bandwagon

2008-2009 NHL Regular Season In Review

With the 2009 Playoffs nearly upon us, I thought it may be a good idea to shine a light on some of the stories we've seen develop in the regular season thus far...

Canadiens-Lightning: Montreal Defeats Tampa Bay, Karri Ramo Steals the Show?

The Montreal Canadiens desperately need to beat teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning on a consistent basis. Fighting for their playoff lives, the Habs must take advantage of lesser teams...

Montreal Canadiens' New Look: Sergei's Back, Max Must Pack

Do or die. That just about sums it up. The Montreal Canadiens have very little time to start win hockey games. They can no longer count on other teams to lose. If the playoffs are in the picture, victories are necessary...

Get Back to Basics: Montreal Canadiens Need To Learn the Clichés

How come it's so difficult? To win a hockey game, a team must, you know, play a fulll 60 minutes, give it their 110 percent, leave it all on the ice and...uh...play well defensively. They've learned and preached the hockey cliches...

The Montreal Canadiens Are in the Playoffs: These Are the Match-Ups

I understand that with the Canadiens recent struggles, a lot of "fans" are starting to doubt the likelihood of a playoff spot...

Montreal Canadiens Will Start Winning Again

It's really not the end of the world. I've been reading articles saying that the sky is falling, but when push comes to shove, the Montreal Canadiens are still a playoff team with a brilliant hockey mind behind their bench...

That Sucked: Montreal Canadiens Lose To Last-Place Islanders...Again!

I feel your pain, Dawson. What a night. Sometimes it's quite difficult to watch the Habs. In a game we should have dominated, we lost to the worst team in the NHL, the New York Islanders, 3-2 in overtime...

Gone But Not Forgotten: Guy Carbonneau and The Habs

I'm a 25-year-old Montreal Canadiens fan. The Habs have won the Stanley Cup twice in my lifetime and I have vivid memories of the second time. Watching Guy Carbonneau hoist the Cup as the captain of the team was one of the proudest moments of my life...

A-Really?: The Plight of An Alex Rodriguez Fan

Now I'm just confused. First, minor surgery, then major surgery, followed by no surgery, and finally, arthroscopic surgery. What the hell is a labrum anyway? I'm a Yankees fan. I have been for many years...

The Montreal Canadiens at the Deadline: The Best Trade Was No Trade at All

Bob Gainey doesn't make big splashes on trade-deadline day. He just doesn't do it. The closest deal he's made since his arrival in Montreal was his wizardly trade with the Rangers that landed us Alex (then Alexei) Kovalev in exchange for Josef Balej...

Coming Down the Stretch: The Habs and the Playoffs

I suppose that this is the make-it-or-break-it time for our beloved Habs. We've been on a roller-coaster ride of a season, but this next stretch of games are what really counts. Forget about the blistering start of the season...
