Leaf fans were forced to sit through Finger's Forgettable Five. Now Habs fans will hope they can quickly forget O'Byrne's Woeful One. Leading 3-2 at home late in the third period against the struggling New York Islanders on Monday night, the Montreal Canadiens were well on their way to securing...

Rumour has it that Canadiens defenseman Mike Komisarek will be out 1 month with a shoulder injury he sustained while playing the role of a punching bag last Thursday versus Boston. Talk about adding injury to insult. There's no point in beating around the fact that Komisarek got rag-dolled by Milan...

Obligatory Sports Babe The Montreal Canadiens beat St. Louis in a shootout yesterday. In the grand scheme of things, is this really such a big deal? No, not really.

Breaking into a luggage store ? Jumping on a bus shelter? How about flaming cop cars, you pussies! Montreal... show them how it's* done: *by "it" I, of course, mean "being a complete fuckwad. Because this is obviously retarded. It's not awesome. I'm serious. In no way do I...

There's no better feeling than leaving a game as a fan of the visiting team after a victory. That was the case for hundreds of supporters of the Montreal Canadiens who let their voices be heard in an exciting come-from-behind win Saturday on Long Island. Before the game even started, the massive...

All of you are well aware that the Montreal Canadiens are celebrating their centennial season in the current NHL campaign. Celebrations will be going on across Montreal all season long, and the expectations to win in this landmark season are higher than any Habs season in recent memory. But, um, there...

What's the deal with this whole Chris Higgins situation? First we're told that he's sitting out the first 3 games of the season because of a groin injury- the Habs have played 3 games since his injury has apparently healed, yet there's still no sign of him. Now rumours are beginning to...

Since Montreal's play did most of the talking on Saturday night, I'm going to keep this one short and sweet. Last night's 6-1 shellacking the Canadiens laid on the Leafs was indicative of exactly how these two teams size-up heading into the season- Montreal, a force in of the Northeast and...

The Canadiens escaped opening night in Buffalo with a single point Friday, on an evening where two of their three newest additions made their regular season debuts. Alex Tanguay and Robert Lang both saw plenty of ice-time and brought ample energy in their first game as members of "Les Canadiens"...

It’s funny what a difference a year makes. Around this time last season, hockey prognosticators were predicting that the Montreal Canadiens would barely make the playoffs. This time around they have them finishing atop the Eastern Conference, with some experts going as far as to call them (dare...

Since acquiring Alex Tanguay at the NHL entry draft back on June 20, Bob Gainey has been doing what he’s pretty much always done as the Habs’ general manager; he’s sitting tight. Briere vs. Sundin It was just a year ago when the Canadiens failed to lure free agent Daniel Briere to La...

The Montreal Canadiens owned the 25th overall selection in this year’s draft, but instead of using it, they sent it to the Calgary Flames in return for Alex Tanguay. In addition, the Habs also sent a 2nd-round selection in next year’s draft to the Flames for Calgary’s 5th-overall pick...
