Montreal Canadiens vs. Ottawa Senators

Guess who gets first star.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Buffalo Sabres

March 21, 2012, by Homme de Sept-Îles

The Canadiens’ 82-game exhibition season has been a flat balloon and thousands of disappointed kids.

Montreal Canadiens vs. New York Islanders

Now I know why they call them TV dinners.

Qui d'autre, asks Houde.

At his best, Markov is unobtrusive, quick and an invisible torque-touch passer.

Aebischer is another ex-Avalanche tender that didn't work out for us. Budaj has not been as bad as Aebischer. But that's setting the bar low. That's trapping the monkey high. That's biting the tomato too many times.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Vancouver Canucks

Andrei Markov is back.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Edmonton Oilers

The CBC can't fire me, either.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

How did these freeple get tickets?

Montreal Canadiens vs. Minnesota Wild

And the hay bell Cs that centre our vision. The Big Red Cs.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

Price slides away on pads, helpless. The pass to Hall was crease-lip perfection. The jam and rot-shot riddled my pocked heart. Ropes aren't nylon on this wharf. They're itchy and blue. A kind of twisted, wet wool.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Florida Panthers

So many things to take offence over in today's NHL, eh?

Montreal Canadiens vs. Dallas Stars

Mike Ribeiro and rumours. This time the former Hab is subject of trade discussion. The trade deadline is looming and Ribeiro, the smooth hands and smirk, has counted seven points in his past seven. The visiting Dallas Star remains icy mellow magic; a centre with vision, moves and finish. He’s a play-maker first, a rock star second and a skater third. He’s not known for speed but for veer.

Montreal Canadiens vs. New Jersey Devils

Homage a Gary Carter.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Boston Bruins

Musings and In-Game Scribbles My English is as good as yours, I just write these in a stream-of-consciousness mode that I insist excuses me from small things like rules of grammar or general etiquette. Let’s call it conversational English, hopped up on beans. You know what kind of beans (no, Carl Mellesmoen, not the magic [...]
