Montreal Canadiens vs Tampa Bay Lightning
March 9, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Downie hacks Moen right in the mid-section. Replay shows how deliberate and iron-hawk it was. Man. Sticks are like email. They make people brave.

Canadiens poem. Metropolit.
Montreal Canadiens vs Anaheim Ducks

Carlyle is hiding his disappointment behind his ferocity.
Montreal Canadiens vs Los Angeles Kings
March 7, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
We see a shot of the King bench and I don’t see a lot of silver glitter. The days of grainy gay and grey gretzky are done. It’s all matte and mute now. The uniforms look fat letter and thick font. They’re not bad but they’re not compelling.
Montreal Canadiens vs San Jose Sharks
March 5, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Heatley is in. Uses the screen. One-on-two. Leans left. Shoots. High. Glove. The glove. The Pricey, dicey, smiling red gant glove. We loves it.
Halak 41

Canadiens poem. Jaroslav Halak.
Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins
March 2, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Canadiens win the faceoff on the glistening ice. Boston’s logo at centre ice, as I’ve said often, is compelling and tonight it is nearly majestic. I’m glad to return to a traditional rivalry with the usual suspects on a Tuesday night when only those who care about and understand the teams involved are watching. More or less.
Chattin’ With Gretzky

Hockey poem. Failed Athlete Decepticon. Pigmaker Suite.
Montreal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers
February 13, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Briere has a “my business here is done” look on his face as he settles onto the bench. It was done here a long time ago, bud. Now you’re just wasting everyone’s time. Must be nice. Four-gamer.
Montreal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers
February 12, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Stick to Price’s mask as he lies on the ice. And the Flyers jam at it like witch-hunters. And it goes in. Hartnell’s pitchfork was sharpest.
Montreal Canadiens vs Washington Capitals
February 11, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Demers talks about Neuvirth a bit. Then he references the NFL. He wants to know what the details are on injuries. Renaud Lavoie adds that in a serious league, we are told what is going on. Oh, get over it. In a league run by gambling interests, we are told what is going on. Be glad that this league, your NHL, doesn’t have the same type of transparency.
Montreal Canadiens vs Pittsburgh Penguins
February 6, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
We get a brief shot of the Pittsburgh bench. The grey ash of the crowd is behind the players' winking white helmets. And a balding dude who resembles Rick Tocchet is behind the Penguin players. I wonder how bad it all smells. Hockey is one of the most unpleasant-smelling of the sports.
Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins
February 4, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Bruins move it out. They are bent raster and dusty spider; confused offensive.
Puck Dust Silver

Canadiens poem. Reflection.
Stone Tipped Fir

Canadiens poem.
Montreal Canadiens versus Washington Capitals
January 5, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Ted Leonsis, Washington’s chief cheese has that “I’m somebody” demeanour. He’s chewing on pistachios and wearing a Hugo Boss suit. Well, I don’t know what he’s chewing and the suit could easily be a Moore’s. Leonsis has a tan and very black hair. Deeply black.

Montreal Mystique Interviews Howie Meeker (I of II)
May 31, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
At 86 years of age, Meeker remains candid, vibrant and precise in his comments and assessments. Meeker discusses the state of hockey today, what makes a good skater and much more. The CBC icon and former Maple Leaf Calder Trophy winner and three-time Stanley Cup champion is at his best and knocks Homme de Sept-Iles off his horse more than a few times. A delightful interview and a Montreal Mystique favourite.
