The Therrien Factor

The Therrien Factor

February 18th, 2013 With a record of 9-4-1 heading into tonight’s matchup versus the Carolina Hurricanes, the Montreal Canadiens have defied most expert predictions to this point in the season, and currently sit fifth in the Eastern Conference. But despite their surprisingly high point total a quarter of the way through the schedule, there are still quite...
Canadiens' Depth Charges Forward

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

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. It should have centered around the new team dynamic created by head coach Michel Therrien, or the rock-solid...
Gallagher and Galchenyuk Set the Pace in Montreal

Gallagher and Galchenyuk Set the Pace in Montreal

January 23rd, 2013 Andrei Markov may have been the star of the show in Montreal’s 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers last night, but if the Canadiens are going to see any kind of sustained success during this lock-out shortened season, it will likely need to come from the efforts of their much younger stars. Markov’s two-goal performance set the...
Will the Canadiens be Poisoned by Mediocrity?

Will the Canadiens be Poisoned by Mediocrity?

January 11th, 2013 The worst thing that could possibly happen to the Montreal Canadiens this season is an average result. With just 48 games in which to work, and a seemingly infinite list of questions which need to be answered, fans of hockey’s most storied franchise appear to be in for an interesting ride when the puck finally drops on the 2013...
Yes,There is Hockey...

Yes,There is Hockey...

December 18th, 2012 Simply put, I am sick of it all. I know that there are legitimate reasons for both sides of the NHL labour talks to take the approaches they have taken...but the truth is, I just can’t seem to muster up any more give-a-damn when it comes to the National Hockey League. Whenever I try to stir up a fiery opinion for an article or a...
Numbers Aside, Dougie Hamilton Leaves a Lasting Impression

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...
Is Mats Sundin a True First-Ballot Hall of Famer?

Is Mats Sundin a True First-Ballot Hall of Famer?

November 16th, 2012   As the hockey Hall of Fame inducted its four newest members this past week, the criteria by which players are selected for induction also shared a brief moment in the spotlight. With Adam Oates and Pavel Bure being made to wait five and six years, respectively, one caller to my weekly podcast wondered aloud whether Mats...
