What Do the Sharks Have in Thornton?
September 30th, 2017 One of the first signs of my father’s arthritis was a tendency to drop things. Grabbing an object creates an instantaneous flow of information moving between hand and brain. For most people, this information flow requires no conscious thought. It is an instinct. The brain trusts the information coming from the hand. Arthritis, in...
Recap: Depth Gets It Done for Canadiens Versus Devils

Underrated Hab: Paul “Breakaway” Byron
October 24th, 2016 The Montreal Canadiens are starting off the 2016-17 season red-hot.

Canadiens Forward Weise No Longer Flying Under the Radar
October 31st, 2015 Like it or not, Dale Weise is about all that’s different about the Montreal Canadiens this season. Unsung Heroes Yes, Weise was with the Canadiens all throughout 2014-15 (having been traded to Montreal from the Vancouver Canucks the previous season), even winning the Jacques Beauchamp-Molson Trophy as the team’s most unsung...
Looking at the Montreal Canadiens' Fourth Line
October 30th, 2015 For an NHL team to go deep into the playoffs, it's no secret they need a lot of depth.

Canadiens in Good Salary-Cap Shape with Torrey Mitchell Deal

Montreal Canadiens Dominating Ottawa Senators in Game 1

Montreal Canadiens' Right Moves at Deadline
March 4th, 2015 It was a staple of Rodney Dangerfield's comedy career for over 40 years. ''I don't get no respect.'' A routine based on a rancid marriage, ungrateful kids and dead end jobs. No matter how hard Rodney tried, he always ended the butt of the joke. ''Never got no respect.'' The defensive side of the game is a lot like Rodney Dangerfield....
Montreal Canadiens Get Petry, Not Much Else
March 2nd, 2015 If you can’t beat them, have them join you.

This with Buffalo having...
A Look Back At Tim Murray's 2014 Trade Deadline Moves
