February 1, 2012, by Homme de Sept-Îles

Welcome back. Your Habs host the Buffalo Sabres. Darcy Regier. Lindy Ruff. Ryan Miller. The gold tassels and stripes; the cutlass and blue bison; Perreault's flair and the brothers of the net, Don Edwards and Bob Sauvé. The past meets the present on New Forum ice.

If you don’t watch the team, don’t defend Cammalleri. It wasn’t English or French. It was a do-nothing player daring to throw his team under the bus.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Ottawa Senators

January 15, 2012, by Homme de Sept-Îles

So what. So what. So what. It all matters. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter.
