montreal canadiens hockey - habs blog

I reminded myself of the greatest sports video game in history:  ’Blades of Steel’ yesterday while ranting about loser points. In tribute we have the pic above which is clearly the Montreal Canadiens vs Edmonton Oilers… no wait… Montreal was orange and red while Edmonton was green and yellow. But...

If ever there was a time when our team needed to step up – it is now. We’ve seen the Lightning cruise into Montreal too many times before and take 2 points. There is no denying the effect that the city has on Lecavalier, St Louis, and Tanguay. It is...

Just a quick note as we get ready for the game tonight between the NHL’s best team and the Montreal Bulldogs. Great news to see Andrei Kostitsyn out skating (even if only in sweats). We couldn’t possibly need good news more now than ever!  Here’s hoping for a miracle tonight....
