Your Son Will Know

December 5, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Son. Pigmaker Suite.

Montreal Canadiens vs. San Jose Sharks

December 4, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Like a fat man on the ropes, the Sharks effect one of the most slovenly rope-a-dope efforts I’ve seen. They can’t skate or pass with the Canadiens. So they heat up the canvas and sneak Cali bourbon in their opponents’ water pail.

Maple Red Monolith

December 3, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canada Ford Frathouse.

Montreal Canadiens vs. New Jersey Devils

December 2, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Brunet says Hedberg’s night is over.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Edmonton Oilers

December 1, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

He’s a bit of a songster. Peacock in a suit. Garden wet. Slick smirk.

Big Red C

November 30, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canadiens poem. Submerged.

L’Autre Jeux

November 30, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Mon vrai, vrai. Mes vrais. Et mes courant.

Four From The Cold

November 28, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Four From The Cold

Montreal Canadiens vs. Buffalo Sabres

November 27, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Miller keeps the Sabres, desperate, diving, sliding all, from a two-goal deficit. He is needed here. And he is more resolute than most of the other mask-wearers in this league. Like him or not. He’s more than a streak of aluminum.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Atlanta Thrashers

November 26, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

My brain is itchy. My hair is itchy. My eyes are dry. Losing is like swimming in hay.

Hockey White Sunset

November 25, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Hockey poem. Grand.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Los Angeles Kings

November 24, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Christmas should be retired. And certain Motown and Beatles songs. Enough.

Carey’s Slide

November 23, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canadiens poem. Resolve.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers

November 22, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Coburn responded. Called for roughing. Coburn looks like a jaundiced vampire. Puzzled and bloodless. Big ugly onion teeth, besides.

4:09

November 21, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canadiens poem. Our time.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

November 20, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Alain enjoys discussing fraudulence. Exposing it. He leads the questions along the Colin Campbell lines.

Sept-Iles SkyPrint

November 19, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canadiens poem. Six-hundred and fifty miles north east of Montreal.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Nashville Predators

November 18, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Montreal’s pace has been osmogrified by Nashville. They’ve cocooned and drugged their captor. Is a Predator an insect? Their logo is a sabre-tooth beast of some kind. Or an unusual tiger.

The Last Move

November 17, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canadiens poem. Sept-Iles.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers

November 16, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Scarecrows are flammable.

Maurice’ Rocket

November 15, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canadiens poem. Maurice.

All Uncles Included

November 14, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

What's my name. Black is Best.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Carolina Hurricanes

November 13, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

This planet is hockey. This town is tinsel. This heart is Montreal’s.

Hull Gill

November 12, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Canadiens poem. Down the middle, waiting.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Boston Bruins

November 11, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Julien stands, hands in pocket and nods in the affirmative. How many suits does an NHL coach own? Are they subsidized by the NHL? By the individual teams?

39 Year-Old Corner

November 11, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Albert Lewis. Michael Haynes. Lester Hayes. Eric Allen. You know the others.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Vancouver Canucks

November 9, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Living room invitations are one item. Stanley Cup wins another.

The Convictions Of Chemistry

November 8, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

10 15 (14, 41)

Meat

November 7, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

Baseball thunderbolt. On ice.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Ottawa Senators

November 6, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles

He plays as if he’s eaten three bunches of pre-game bananas.
