Galchenyuk OT Goal Breaks Habs 4-Game Losing Streak In Arizona Alex Galchenyuk’s OT goal broke the Habs 4-game losing streak as they beat the Coyotes 5-4 in Arizona Thursday night. The game that was as erratic as their season has been, with ups and downs culminating in the sudden-death win. It started off well, disintegrated […]
Habs Edged 3-2 By Capitals Habs were edged 3-2 by the Capitals Saturday afternoon, in a game that saw them picking up the pace only as the clock counted down in the third period. The first period – with a delay of game I’ll explain further – brought a bit of life to them as […]
Habs Outshot, Outplayed, Outscored in Loss to Flyers The Habs were outshot, outplayed, and outscored in a 3-1 loss to the Flyers Thursday night. In a game where they took a season-low 16 shots on the Philadelphia net, they relied on Carey Price who, while solid, could not play both sides of the ice all […]
Pacioretty Hat Trick Gives Habs A 5-2 Win Vs Sabres A Pacioretty hat trick gave the Habs a 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night in Montreal, as the Habs played another strong, dominant game on home ice.

Habs Outshot in 3-1 Loss To Islanders Habs were outshot in a 3-1 loss to the Islanders Thursday night in Brooklyn.

Habs Win Vs Flames: An Evening With The Montreal Canadiens The Habs win vs the Flames Tuesday night was an exceptional game, and I had the privilege of attending. As this game saw me sitting closer than I ever have before, and as I don’t attend regularly (due to prohibitive pricing and a family of […]
Habs Edged By Wings In Slow Motion The Habs were edged by the Wings in slow motion Monday afternoon, a rare weekday game due to Martin Luther King Day being a holiday in the USA. An unusually monotonous game, this Original-Six match-up did not yield the habitual sparks we see when the Habs and Wings meet. […]
Habs Edged Rangers In Entertaining, Emotional Game The Habs edged the Rangers in an entertaining, emotional game filled with excitement and controversy, Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Andrew Shaw and Alex Galchenyuk returned to the line-up, after being sidelined with injuries. Shaw played only the first period, due to a penalty and game misconduct […]
Big Win For Habs, 7-4 vs Jets A big win for the Habs, with a 7-4 victory in Winnipeg Wednesday night. With Phillip Danault and Artturi Lehkonen each scoring two goals, Sven Andrighetto getting his first of the season, and Tomas Plekanec getting his second in two games, it was a good night for individual […]
Carey Price Is Not The Reason The Capitals Beat The Habs Carey Price is not the reason the Capitals beat the Habs Monday night, in a 4-1 game at the Bell Centre. But he’s being blamed for the loss. At least, on social media. Tomas Plekanec finally scored (his 4th; a power-play goal halfway through […]
The end of the season press conference has come and gone. Marc Bergevin and Geoff Molson came to address the usual group of individuals from the media and while a fresh note or two was played at this proverbial concert, this presser has –in essence– only made things worse. Marc and Geoff preach a […]
