Off season rumblings have begun
May 29th
Lot’s of talk already just days after the Canadiens playoff run ended.
I know that for some of you the interest in your favorite NHL team doesn’t end. For me, it certainly does not.
While the Habs were on their playoff run I tried to focus on their games. Current line ups, their performance etc…. while trying to leave the impending UFAs, RFAs, salary cap and that question that will keep lingering of which goaltender stays in Montreal??? Or IF they can somehow keep both.
Now that it’s the off-season (ok, not for you Hawks/Flyers fans) I’m starting to think about this stuff a little bit and am reading what other bloggers have to say as well as the media.
Certainly some interesting articles out there. Here are just a few.

Upper Deck blog feature – All Hail Halak
Apr 29th
I was contacted earlier earlier by Chris Carlin who writes for the Upper Deck blog. He shared an article that featured Halak, talked about playoff hockey, the City of Montreal and of course the Capitals vs Canadiens series that we’ve just witnessed.
I enjoyed the article and thought I’d share it here.

Habs bits of the week
Nov 10th
Thought I would highlight a few articles that I read over the last week.
Price/Halak – The Stats – October 2009
by Chris Boyle for Eyes on the Prize
This is a great article on the goaltender statistics and it cuts through to the bare facts.
Chris does a great analysis of the shots both Halak and Price have faced will visual graphs displaying where the shots were taken from as well as the save percentage per area.
Really worth the read!

UPDATES: Walsh controversy
by Rocket for All Habs
The night that I wasn’t on Twitter at all (you can find me on twitter at @yves_on_habs) there was a bit of controversy as Halak’s agent Mr Allan Walsh tweeted a comment about Carey Price’s stats. If you want the whole story please read the articles on the All Habs blog!
Well written and described.
Learning to live without Markov
by Topham for Lions in Winter
This article contains some numbers showing just what the team’s play has been like when Markov has been out. Some interesting numbers in this article and if you thought Markov was an important player the team’s most important player this article might provide proof of his value through the last few seasons.
Andrei, I miss you!
