Canadiens' Depth Charges Forward
February 9th, 2013 Ten games into the season and sitting at 6-3-1, the Montreal Canadiens have so far been one of the season’s most surprising young teams. After finishing 19th in overall goal scoring last year, and without having made any significant offensive upgrades via trade or free agency, most experts had predicted another anemic output from a...
PK Subban is Not Poison
January 31st, 2013 The media buzz surrounding the Montreal Canadiens’ locker room this week should have been about the four consecutive wins the team had strung together heading into last night’s matchup against the Ottawa Senators.

Whenever I try to stir up a fiery opinion for an article or a...
Numbers Aside, Dougie Hamilton Leaves a Lasting Impression
December 4th, 2012 I’ll be the first to admit that I normally do not follow junior hockey very closely. In fact, outside of the World Junior Championships, the last time I saw a major junior tilt was probably while I was growing up in Cape Breton. I can’t remember the exact date of that game, but I do recall that the Screaming Eagles were still...
