Montreal Canadiens

It was the fourth time this season the Habs had back to back games – their record now is an abysmal 0-4.  

It took four games for Randy Cunneyworth to make his first big decision in his tenure as coach of the Montreal Canadiens.  The healthy scratches for the game against Winnipeg were Lars Eller and the slumping PK Subban.  The result was a 4-0 game to continue a losing streak of five games.

The first period featured a four minute high-sticking penalty to Hal Gill – On the ensuing power play Blake Wheeler scored on a one timer with assists going to Byfuglien and Enstrom.  Later the Jets padded their lead on a nice passing play on a...

It was a good, back-and-forth twenty minutes of hockey with both teams registering seven shots on goal. There wasn't much in the way of action, as the only notable statistic on the score-sheet was a hooki...

The "Pride Of Quebec" is in Chicago tonight, to face off against the ultra hot Blackhawks.  

Coming into this game, the Habs are winless since the firing of francophone coach, Jacques Martin, and replacing him with unilingual anglophone coach, Randy Cunneyworth.  As ridiculous as these discriptions may sound, this is the reality for Habs fans these days.  It is no longer about hockey, it's simply about politcs this year.
