Wow I can't imagine not being able to watch Habs games on a regular basis! I'll write them an email

Anyone know anything about prices for the year? I don't have a TV anymore and I need my Habs!

My dad will love Blackjack Laraque. Furious George is weak though. It makes him sound a stupid child's cartoon monkey.

What about "Le Gros Georges"?

I'm not a huge fan of fighting. But, I cannot. Freaking. Wait. I just hope I attend a game that he fights in. PS: What's his new nickname going to be? St. George?

The Montreal Canadiens topped 100 points in a season for the first time since 1992-1993, a surprising development from a team stocked with young talent. Off-Season Game Plan looks at one of the most talented young teams in the league, and what they might do in an effort to take the next step and get back to competing for the Stanley Cup. Bounced by the Flyers in the second round of the playoffs, the Canadiens haven't advanced beyond the second round since 1993 (the last time they won the Stanely Cup, yet there is still a great sense of optimism surrounding the team because they have such quality young players on the rise to support their established veterans. With guys like Alex Kovalev and Saku Koivu holding leadership positions on the team, the Habs can't afford to waste their productive years. Thus, adding another veteran could help speed the Habs along the development curve. Free agency hasn't been terribly kind to Montreal in recent seasons, but the team's improving reputation as one of the league's up-and-coming young teams may help sway the decision of a potential big-name addition. If young players like Tomas Plekanec, Chris Higgins and the Kostitsyn brothers -- to say nothing of Carey Price -- improve, the Canadiens will have to be considered among the contenders heading into next season and that kind of potential is attractive. So, what kind of player might the Habs want to get? "We want to play a fast game," general manager Bob Gainey told the Montreal Gazette. "Could we be bigger and more rugged? Perhaps, but our philosophy is we're quick, we're exciting, we're on the attack and we're ready to score." That's a style of play that isn't just attractive to free agents, but it makes the Canadiens one of the more entertaining teams in the league to watch. Just like old times. Read the full article

Moral of the story: motorcycles are dangerous. Condolences to his family

Wtf happened for the last few weeks? Do we have a new server?

I laughed out loud.

Personal life Brière went to Collège Saint-Alexandre, a private high school in Gatineau. Brière and his wife Sylvie have three young sons: Caelan, Carson, and Cameron. Wtf kind of names are those?

GO HABS GO! I'd like to see Higgins score tonight and Sergei score tonight.

Damn your threads were awesome

He just signed with Oakland.

I wish Gagne was playing in this series. Feel bad for the guy...

Well unfortunately I was off by one in the east, so that messed up my matchups. Also, even though I got all the teams right in the West, I messed up who would play who. Hooray for me. Montreal Canadiens in 6. New York Rangers in 6. Colorado Avalanche in 7. San Jose Sharks in 7.

Craigslist, ebay...

I actually don't care at all.

Prediction: Montreal in 6. Result: Montreal in 7. Prediction: Pittsburgh in 5. Result: Pittsburgh in 4. Prediction: Washington in 6. Result: Philadelphia in 7. Prediction: New York in 7. Result: New York in 5. Prediction: Detroit in 5. Result: Detroit in 6. Prediction: San Jose in 7. Result: San Jose in 7. Prediction: Colorado in 6. Result: Colorado in 6. Prediction: Dallas in 6. Result: Dallas in 6. Teams correct: 7/8 Teams and games correct: 2/8

AA is the closest. Whites are really good, no matter where. All of the sight lines in the Bell Centre are great. I would avoid anything at far ends of the rink, like the Saputo and Molson Ex. Zone. The advantage for those sections is price. The best seats I've had were 10 rows back centre ice, the worst were in the back of the Molson Ex. zone. I had an awesome time on both occasions.

I think Koivu got a boost from being on the top line again as well I say keep the Game 7 lines together. What will be more debated is who he puts in the bottom 6. Does he give Ryder and Latendresse another chance?
