Postgame: Montreal 4, Buffalo 2

Justin usually posts these but he’s at his staff party tonight so I’ll step in. I only saw the third period so I’ll point out what I saw. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to comment.
Begin was, to summon Pierre McGuire, a monster! He was hitting anything that moved! I’ll have to look [...]

The Power play even showed up tonight, what a game!

I could talk about Carey Price’s second shutout [...]

Game 7: Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens

Game 7 is here, and just like everyone else, I’m scared out of my trees. As much as I believe in my Canadiens, I can’t help but have doubts after the way they have been playing the last few games. The Habs need to get their shit together and play like they want [...]

Canadiens Win In a Close One

This was probably one of the most nerve racking game I have ever watched as a Habs fan. The reffing was absolutely horrible, and this goes for both teams. As much as you Boston fans want to bitch and moan that a bad call may have cost you the game, the only [...]
