You Ain’t Shane, You Ain’t Mook – ’19-’20 NHL Team Previews: Montreal Canadiens

By Sam Fels September 18, 2019 0

Did you know the Habs finished two points out of a playoff spot last year? I sure didn’t. Considering all the noise they make and all the complaining they do that you have to pay attention to them because of HISTORY and CULTURE (that being that they speak the French language like they’ve had an […]

Game #71 – Hawks vs. Canadiens Spotlight: Does Shea Weber Fit Anymore?

By Sam Fels March 16, 2019 0

It’s been three seasons now, so the shock of the Shea Weber-PK Subban trade has worn off. Subban has gone on to anchor a Cup-contender for his entire time in Nashville, while Weber’s record in Montreal is much more spotty. Canadiens diehards (read: sycophants) would tell you that all of Subban’s teammates hate him in […]

Game #31 – Canadiens vs. Hawks Q&A: Andrew Berkshire From…Well, Everywhere

By Sam Fels December 9, 2018 0

You can catch him a lot of places, so we recommend you just follow Andrew Berkshire @AndrewBerkshire and at his tumblr andrewberkshire.tumblr.com. The Canadiens started out hot, but have cooled off of late. What fueled the former and what’s the cause of the latter? Hot starts from everyone new really helped the Habs this year. […]

Your Friends And Neighbors – ’17-’18 NHL Team Previews: The Bleu, Blanc, And Suck

By September 9, 2017

Most of my thoughts on the Montreal Canadiens are contained here. But I won’t miss a chance to shit on them twice. Or hundreds. Whatever it takes. While they might not be poorly coached anymore (though I’m less convinced of Claude Julien’s genius than others), they’re still poorly run, poorly watched, and the kvetching that […]

Poodle Bites! C’mon Frenchie!: Habs Q&A With Laura The Active Stick

By November 13, 2016

Sadly the Canadiens only visit once a season, so we don’t get to talk to our good friend Laura The Active Stick as much as we’d like (@TheActiveStick). But hey, she’s been out drinking with me and lived to tell the tale. More than Fifth Feather and his wrist can say. Let’s see what she […]

Predators Spotlight: The One And Only

By October 14, 2016

This blog has never hidden its affection for Pernell Karl Subban. It’s just a shame that the rest of the hockey world, specifically the one that considers itself so polite and understanding (and cold), wouldn’t follow suit. That’s ok though. PK Subban can probably make a bigger impact on the sport on this side of […]
