Dreaming of John…

March 27, 2013

I'm going to say something crazy right now. I am aware it's a bit off the wall and I am aware that it probably won't happen, but I do think it's worth exploring. With trade deadline just a week away, we look at a list of UFA's and wonder where these rent-a-players will be headed for about a dozen games or so. But when I look at the list of UFA's and I look at the Habs number one need, I don't find a match.

Morning After: Humiliated

Morning After: Humiliated

I am humiliated. Last night's game was embarrassing to watch. A SIX MINUTE POWER PLAY! But I don't want to harp on a game that was tedious to watch. I think the only reason I kept it on the television was because I don't know what else to watch. Suggestions? Are there sitcoms any more? If so, what's good? What I do want to talk about is Pierre Gauthier and how fearful we should be that he is the one in charge right now.

Which was worse?

Last night a fellow Habs fan on Twitter mentioned that this is the worst season for the Habs. I disagreed, I said the Centennial season was worse. In truth, both are terrible so let's compare and contrast to come up with the truly worst season of the Habs. Though to be fair, this season isn't over yet – things might totally change between now and April, in which case I will just delete this post :) I've broken down the post into categories; expectations, offseason, regular season moves, on-ice drama, off-ice drama. For each category I chose a "winner" for the worst season. My conclusion ties it all together. Though to be fair, this season isn't over yet – things might totally change between now and April, in which case I will just delete this post :) I've broken down the post into categories; expectations, offseason, regualar season moves, on-ice drama,...

Should he stay or should he go?!

Darling you got to let me know. Should he stay or should he go? It's May 2, I've voted, I've filed my taxes on time, and America found their villain. But what is actually on my mind is July 1 and what the Habs should do. My priorities are completely out of whack.

Tiger Blood and Winning

Here's my theory – when Max Pacioretty got hit in the ribs with a Wisniewski point shot, the image him being rolled out in a stretcher with an IV drip scared us all. BUT...do you know what was in that IV bag? I'll tell you what it was...Tiger blood, directly sent from Charlie Sheen's personal stock.

Trade Deadline Folies

I'm guilty..I pulled the trigger and then checked the source. All I saw was "#Habs have acquired Dustin Penner from #oilers for Jarred Tinordi and 1st rounder" with the name @RealKyper_ I clicked re-tweet...then, as I was listening to the radio, I realized no one else was talking about this

Morning After: Caps

December 29, 2010

Happy Holidays! It's been awhile since I've posted, my apologies. I was all over the place, and am finally back in town and settled down. I came home last night to the wonderful news of the Habs adding James Wisniewski to their blue line for the price of a 2nd round pick in 2011 (and a conditional 5th in 2012). I won't beat around the bush -- I LOVE THIS.

From O’Byrne to Bournival

From O’Byrne to Bournival

O'Byrne has been traded for Colorado prospect Michael Bournival. Who? Exactly.... Bournival currently plays in the QMJHL for the Shawinigan Cataractes. He was drafted last year by the Avalanche. I've never seen Bournival play, in fact I never heard of him until 5-minutes ago, so who am I to judge this trade. Who knows what kind of player Bournival will turn out to be. He's big, he seems to score a decent amount in the Q, and he's a local (ish) boy, so the Journal de Montreal can rest easy. For now, I'm all optimism. It's just sad to see another Habs drafted and trained player go to wayside. I liked O'Byrne, he provided the fans and the media with a steady stream of story lines:
