Scott Gomez Hits Hole-In-One To Win A Car At His Own Charity Golf Tournament
Here's this, from the Anchorage Daily News:...
The Canadiens Have Hired Michel Therrien So He Can Fail Again
Hockey is the only thing that keeps Canadians from committing mass suicide during drawn-out winters. And perhaps no one has been so close to suicide lately as the people of Montreal. When the Habs stumbled to a 13-12-7 start this season, head coach Jacques Martin was canned and replaced with interim...
A Prayer For Jacques Plante's Busted Schnoz
Let's let Jacques Plante's Hockey Hall of Fame biography tell this one:...
Here's The Canadiens' Gary Carter Tribute That Didn't Air In The United States
For reasons that baffle the mind, NBC Sports Network elected not to show you this touching tribute to Gary Carter that preceded tonight's Devils-Canadiens game in Montreal. Carter—one of Montreal's true sports legends—was given a hero's au revoir that deserves to be seen by a wider audience, so h...
Gary Carter Went Out With A Win
There's a great line in the New York Times obituary of Gary Carter that says he "may have led the 1986 Mets in hugging teammates."...
Gary Carter Has Died
After months of increasingly dire reports of Gary Carter's battle with brain cancer, the Hall of Fame catcher passed away today at the age of 57. The news was first reported by the Times's Richard Sandomir....
Scott Gomez Has Gone A Full Calendar Year Without Scoring A Goal, And Habs Fans Have Special Plans For Mocking Him
Pauvre, pauvre Scott Gomez. Il y a presque un an depuis son dernier but, donc les supporters de Montréal s'attendent de lui taquiner. Don't speak French? Scott Gomez sucks. [Gomez Celebration]...
The Hockey Gods <i>Will</i> Have Their Bloody Vengeance
Earlier this month, Calgary winger Rene Bourque gave a dirty elbow to the head of Washington's Nicklas Backstrom. The Caps' leading scorer has been out ever since with a concussion, and Bourque was suspended five games by the league. But that's not justice. That's The Man's justice. The Capitals d...
Nobody Does Meltdowns Quite Like Montreal
The Canadiens are scraping the bottom of the conference. Everything that can go wrong, has. Mike Cammalleri voiced some of those frustrations Wednesday, complaining about playing time and the Habs' "losing mentality." One day later, he's gone. This will solve all their problems!...
A Confusing NHL Racial Controversy Gets Muddier, As Banana Reference Nets A One-Game Suspension
We thought this one was going to be cut-and-dried. We thought Krys Barch said something hateful and racist and unacceptable to P.K. Subban, and the NHL would come down with all its disciplinary might to show that there's no place for racism in hockey, and then we'd all move on. Naturally, nothing's ...
If The Canadiens' Interim Head Coach Doesn't Learn French, He'll Probably Be Fired
Montreal Canadiens' interim head coach Randy Cunneyworth doesn't speak any French. This is apparently such a problem among fans that the team's GM had to address the issue with the sort of groveling, mealy-mouthed statement you give when your coach blows a .48 on his Breathalyzer....
Bruins Fans, Canadiens Fans Throw Down In Montreal
Montreal is very much the Boston of Canada, if you replace "wants to be Irish" with "wants to be French." So the Canadiens and Bruins rivalry, which has gotten extra-chippy recently, is an opportunity for the rest of the NHL to stand back and say "let's hope there are no survivors."...
This Office Prank Is A Good Argument Against Ever Working With A Bruins Fan
We're told that the prankster in this video, who hopefully still has a job, is Kelly Park, son of NHL Hall of Famer Brad Park. He promised the CFO of their company that he would "prank" him should the Bruins knock out the Habs in the first round. They did, somewhat dramatically, and Park chose to ...
The Perils Of Pissing At A Bruins Game When You Are A Canadiens Fan
Here is an ad for adult diapers from Barstool Sports. If this Canadiens fan squeezed out a drop or two, he almost certainly shat himself as well....
Jack Edwards's Baffling Pro-Boston, Anti-Royalty Rant
Noted homer Jack Edwards probably couldn't sleep last night after his beloved Bruins came back to oust the Canadiens in 7 games. But before tossing and turning with visions of Jozef Stümpel dancing in his head, he had some parting words on the NESN postgame show....
This Is Not Andrew Ference Giving Habs Fans The Finger
Your morning roundup for April 22, the day America went to its room and listened to Smiths records....
Jack Edwards: Homer To End All Homers
Last night, NESN's Jack Edwards reminded us that he is still the ultimate homer of the hockey commentating world — hockey's Tommy Heinsohn, if you will. In Game 3 of the Bruins-Canadiens series, Edwards screamed at Montreal's Roman Hamrik to "GET UP!" after he tackled Michael Ryder to the ice. He ...
Canada Acknowledges That Its Hockey Is More Important Than Its Politics
Canada has rescheduled a French federal election debate to accommodate the opening game of the Montreal-Boston game on Thursday. We admire the compromise: here in the states, we'd probably just have had to choose based on which event made for a better drinking game....
Chicago's Marty Turco Uses Bench Time To Place Bets With Fans, Write "Turco Rules!" On $5 Bills
Marty Turco signed a one-year contract with Chicago last summer and expected to start in net for the Blackhawks. But for much of the season, he's served as Corey Crawford's back-up and has gotten well-acquainted with the pine. He hasn't started a game since Feb. 11. So Turco's now looking for new so...
