Posted Friday March 15, 2013, About: Canadiens extend David Desharnais

Smart move by Bergevin to sign him at that price. Desharnais shows up every night and doesn't let bigger guys scare him.

Next round, March 27: Canadiens @ Bruins

And like a wise man once said: "If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle."

Not from this corner, mon ami.

And forget that line about getting Prust from Montreal, especially for that cream puff.

7th in the league in shots taken (83), 389th in % of goal per shot (6%). The top 10 goal scorers average between 15.1 and 24.5%

Oh the irony!.....

Too bad the Irked One hasn't landed a new GM job yet. The Leafs could trade Kessel and his bloated contract to him for two firsts and a second.

Seriously! I keep waiting for volcano Therrien to erupt any day now. The closest I saw came after the SO loss in Buffalo when they let a 2-goal lead slip away late in the third. Other than that, he's looked very calm and collected, even funny at times. Of course, going 8-0-3 in his last 11 helps. I still say he blows his stack at least once before the end of the season and once more in the playoffs.

Price did his best Red-Light Racicot impression on Saturday night....

Fixed. lol!

Price got down on himself after letting in a couple of softies and when that happens, he starts brooding, plays too low or goes down on his knees too fast and gets beaten easily by high shots. For an example, look at the OT winner.

Saturday's looked more like an All-Star game actually.

Posted Monday March 04, 2013, About: Julien calls out Montreal: 'Embarrassing for our game'

Could happen. We still have a long way to go. Not even halfway through this short season yet.

Posted Monday March 04, 2013, About: Julien calls out Montreal: 'Embarrassing for our game'

You throw in a couple of OT games as well...

Posted Monday March 04, 2013, About: Julien calls out Montreal: 'Embarrassing for our game'

Sorry I missed the point. I kinda did that on purpose. I like reminding Leafs fans of that deal, especially now that we know who the Bruins selected with those high picks they got from dumping Kessel on you. The Irked One might have left the building, the impact of his worst trade remains.

Posted Monday March 04, 2013, About: Julien calls out Montreal: 'Embarrassing for our game'

Force of habit? Possible. With Phil, you never know.

In a normal season, late February/early March sounds a tad early, even for the Leafs. Though not by much. The late start and end this year probably means they'll go on life-support after Easter.

Posted Monday March 04, 2013, About: Julien calls out Montreal: 'Embarrassing for our game'

Seriously, don't you wish you had Hamilton and Seguin in your lineup right now? Phil going -6 in his last two games puts him at -1 overall. Sounds like he went back to working on his golf game again.

Posted Monday March 04, 2013, About: Julien calls out Montreal: 'Embarrassing for our game'

Well, it certainly looks like Seguin's watched a lot of football, er... soccer lately.

Regardless, the only fact that matters this morning:

Montreal 4
Boston 3

And we get to do it again March 27 in Boston.

Posted Sunday March 03, 2013, About: Analyst: Cowboys could be open to some Tony Romo trade scenarios

What do you mean, 'real close'? He's made it so far as I can tell.

Posted Saturday March 02, 2013, About: Brian Burke: NHL coaches have a shelf life

Same reason they think we need to hear every word any of the Kardashians, Jim Cramer, Kristen Stewart, Justin Bieber or Pierre McGuire say, bostongm.

Apparently talentless people have some appeal to a certain crowd, one none of us can identify with or truly understand.

Posted Friday March 01, 2013, About: Cherry blasts Phaneuf

Not a problem. The league engraved the names of the players on the Cup. Good enough for us.

You heard of that tradition, haven't you? Engraving the names of the winners on the Cup? Sure you have.

Posted Friday March 01, 2013, About: Cherry blasts Phaneuf

Or just make them, period.
