  • Game 49: Habs/Red Wings

    Mats Naslund
    25 Jan 2012 | 9:59 am
    I love when the Habs play the Red Wings. Don’t get me wrong – the outcome is usually bad for the Canadiens, but there is something so amazing.. so formerly Montreal, about the Red Wings team. They are about as close as you can come to a “Dynasty” as you can get in modern hockey. They don’t win every year like the Habs used to, but they never draft high – and they’re always good. Their players get old, but they never slow down.  I simply can’t get enough of watching Zetterberg, Datsyk, Lidstrom, Franzen, Kronwall, Filppula, Hudler, and Holmstrom…

    Mats Naslund
    21 Jan 2012 | 9:08 am
    Classic 11-12 Canadiens. Take a 4-2 lead into the third period and blo it all to eventually lose in OT. I couldn’t watch last night due to a family function, but something tells me that I didn’t need to see it go down to understand what happened. Frankly, I had no illusions that an immaculate run for the playoffs was possible, even though I harbour no ill-will to those who want to hope that a comeback is possible. Frankly, I’m the type of person who sees a losing season as an opportunity, one in which a team who is smart in trade, can set up the next season by identifying…

    If there is a team in the league that simply doesn’t care for the whining that goes on about the Montreal Canadiens injury problems this season – it’s the Pittsburgh Penguins. Obviously missing Sidney Crosby (who remains 12th on team scoring despite only playing 8 games this season) hurts. But the Penguins have also missed considerable time from Kris Letang, Jordan Stall and Tyler Kennedy. Through thick and thin, the Penguins remain in 6th place in the Eastern Conference – and look ever like the team that seems to now perennially sit in good standing – ready to…

    Late breaker tonight. The Habs face the Capitals tonight who lost last evening to the Islanders. Can the Habs take advantage of an opponent who played 24 hours ago? It wouldn’t be typical of this season, but would surely be a welcome change for fans of the Canadiens. Go Habs Go!!!

  • Game 45: Habs/Rangers

    Mats Naslund
    15 Jan 2012 | 9:01 am
    Following a tough shootout loss at home last night, the Canadiens welcome (begrudgingly) the New York Rangers to town who are fresh off of a 3-0 victory against the Maple Leafs. Marty Biron started in net (and played fantastically), which will leave the Habs to face Lundqvist. I guess Torterella wasn’t about to start Biron in Montreal after the 4-0 victory Montreal scored earlier in the season. For Montreal fans it will be the first opportunity to see Rene Bourque in a Habs jersey. The trade that sent Michael Cammalleri back to Calgary has been a controversial one. From an emotional…

A quick snapshot is taken which includes income, existing debt, savings, length of employment, etc. All of these factors will then be analyzed to determine your loan eligibility. Pre-approval is written documentation that shows you have the support of a lender who is willing to finance you. It means an underwriter has reviewed your loan application. Based on your income, debt ratio and savings, the underwriter provides the dollar…

    With this year's NHL All-Star Game held in Ottawa. We thought we'd dig into the archoves and pull up Robert and Francis' look back at one of the Ottawa area's greatest Habs legends. Aurele Joliat joined the Canadiens in 1922, stayed on scene for sixteen seasons, scored 270 career goals, won a Hart Trophy and three Stanley Cups. He departed from the game, owning several Canadiens team records. Incredibly, the player who hailed from the New Edinburgh borough of Ottawa, came within a few hundred bucks of becoming an Ottawa Senator one year before his acquisition by the Canadiens! More on that in…

    Wow. It's crazy what happens when the Montreal Canadiens get a bit of luck on their side for once. With the Detroit Red Wings coming out of the gate very lackadaisical and without legendary defenseman and captain NIcklas Lidstrom, the Habs dominated the Red Wings on the scoreboard 7-2 and chased All-Star goaltender Jimmy Howard after just 20 minutes of play. Much maligned Scott Gomez got the game going with a rocket pass that bounced off Rene Bourque and behind Howard. The scouting reports that Bourque was a slow skater couldn't have been more wrong, as he's been flying down the wing every…

    If there was a team you'd want to pattern after, in the post-lockout/salary cap era, it's the Detroit Red Wings. The NHL franchise from Motor City have built a successful system around a core of key players for nearly 20 years, and found a way to keep it successful in the "New NHL." It actually dates back further with the drafting of Steve Yzerman by then Wings GM and current Sr. VP Jim Devellano, but didn't really take shape until the arrival of Nicklas Lidstrom and company in the early nineties. The Chicago Blackhawks started using that system, and it paid off. The Edmonton Oilers could be…

However, when it comes to a team outing to visit The President of The United States, on needs to check his ego at the door. So the Bruins, with only one American in tow made the trip to the East Wing to visit President Obama today. Former Bruin, and current Habs rearguard Tomas Kaberle took advantage of the team's off day to make the trek. That's what makes it interesting to me. A team of predominantly Canadian an European players, were willing to meet a world leader, not of their own…

A couple notable on-ice absentees were Carey Price and Travis Moen. Moen was taking a therapy day, while Price was nursing what is reported to be a cut on his foot. A vinyl shooter tutor took his place opposite Peter Budaj. In the skills portion, Mathieu Darche, Andrei Kostitsyn and Tomas Kaberle each hit the four targets in six attempts during the Shooting Accuracy competition. Kaberle was the overall winner by accomplishing it the fastest, in 13.8 seconds.

Not only do houseplants bring life to an indoors pace, they help detoxify the air in your home and they’ve even been shown to increase productivity in the workplace. Thumbs not so green?

Mais ce matin, fait inusité a surpris ceux qui était à l’écoute des Oranges Pressées à CIBL, en pleine intervention studio, une grue travaillant à l’installation des grands panneaux vitrés du nouveau 2-22 a décidé de faire une entrée remarquée. Ils expliquent, sur le site officiel de la…

    Photo: Martin Dubé Comme vous le savez, j’ai une fixation sur les ponts de la ville et maintenant que c’est officiel, les études vont commencés sur notre nouveau Pont Champlain qui commencera à prendre forme d’ici quelques années. Le Ministre des Transports, Denis Lebel a officiellement lancé la phase de l’évaluation environnementale fédérale du projet de construction du nouveau pont le plus utilisé du Canada.

    Une autre semaine, une autre liste de top quelque chose. Heureusement, Montréal y apparaît plus souvent qu’autrefois dernièrement et ça nous fait des bretelles « à péter ». Aujourd’hui la vedette est la salle de Spectacle de la Ste-Cath, Le Métropolis. Si comme moi, vous avez connu votre Métropolis plus jeune en écoutant Jici Lauzon dans l’émission du même nom à la télé de Radio-Canada, sachez que même avant l’arrivée de cette récente liste de la compagnie Pollstar, L’endroit qui est sous la gestion de L’Équipe…

    Au début octobre, je vous parlais de la nouvelle émission d’Anthony Bourdain, « The Layover« , après avoir regardé le début de la saison et finalement l’épisode sur Montréal. Je dois vous dire que Bourdain est tout ce que je croyais et encore plus. L’animateur de « No Reservations » qui avait fait un épisode au Québec s’est tapé un 26h à Montréal, avec une bonne partie en compagnie de Martin Picard et Normand Laprise. Vous verrez des vignettes sur Beauty’s, mes Bixis, Anne-Marie Withenshaw, le Marché…

    Les défaites à répétitions, Jacques Martin renvoyé, Randy Cunneyworth qui ne parle que la langue de Shakespeare. Est-ce une possibilité que peut-être, rien que peut-être, nous donnons un peu trop d’importance au hockey ? Ne vous trompez pas, j’adore le hockey, le sport en général même, suivez nous sur Twitter et vous verrez que je tweet souvent durant les matchs de nos Habs, des Alouettes ou de l’Impact. Or les manchettes sont inondées par le Canadien. Mettons les choses au clair, des gens sont attaqués, violés et tués partout sur la planète. Des dictateurs…
