Habs break the Canucks winning streak!
Nov 10th
Was great to see last night. Don’t get me wrong though, far from perfection on ice. But Carey Price is playing some great hockey. I know some people have still tried to tag some of the Habs problems on his shoulders (on the Habs facebook page and a bit on Twitter)… but comon. Watching him play, he’s moving well, he looks aggressive, confident…. he’s starting to look the way people wanted him to be.
Now let’s not get too carried away…. but hands down, he’s been one of the better players this season. Keeping his team in the hunt for some “Ws”.
Here’s a nice little video…. showing the boys winning!
Sportsnet feature: Price feels right about upcoming season

This is definitely a big season for Price. Everyone knows it.
One thing that I’m waiting to see is exactly how those “passionate” fans… you know, the ones who seem to think booing your players off the ice is gonna help somehow…. and how Price himself reacts to some of the challenges that will certainly present themselves.
There are gonna be games where the team in front of him may let a ton of shots through… again. And there are gonna be games where Price is gonna let a soft goal in… or maybe 2.
Will the fans give him a fair shake? Are they gonna jump on him in true “boo bird” fashion when he plays a bad game? Might they even blame him for a loss where the team lets him face…. say 45 shots…. and only manage 20-ish shots on their opponents? (happened last year)
How is Carey’s confidence gonna hold?
Price, in my opinion, is one heck of a talented goaltender. He’s got loads of natural skill, size… he’s won at every level. He’s got all the tools.
If the boo birds flock to the bell center with regularity this season, how will Price react?
I’m hoping he’s given a fair shot. Yeah, people can voice their displeasure but getting on a guy who’s playing on your team repeatedly… just remember what they did to Brisebois (like him or not), probably did nothing to improve the moral not only of the player but the entire team.
I’m with ya Carey. Hope you have a strong season.
Gomez and Cammalleri with a few words on Price
Aug 17th
As the new season’s camps are just around the corner I’m starting to get in hockey mode. They’re (the players) about to start working again… and I just started a new job.
In fact, I think I’ll be wearing some Habs gear in a photo shoot for my new job.
Anyway…. here’s a short clip of Scott Gomez and Mike Cammalleri on Price. (Courtesy of Sportsnet)
Sportsnet reporting that Jarred Tinordi will play for OHL’s London Knights
Aug 11th
According to Sportsnet Jarred Tinordi, the Habs 22nd overall pick in the 2010 NHL draft will be playing for the London Knights in the OHL. They report an official announcement should come within days.
Although there is currently some debate on which road is better suited for a young player’s development, Major Junior vs NCAA, I believe having Tinordi in a situation where he plays many more games will only be good for his development.
I was happy to hear about Louis Leblanc playing in the “Q”… which means I’ll likely skip out to watch him play. I’m equally happy to hear that Jarred will be playing in the OHL under Dale Hunter. Will be easier for some of us to catch a glimpse of him and keep track of his developmental years.
I’m quite pleased at this announcement. Should be noted that Dale Hunter played with Jarred’s father and has been a family friend for years. So Tinordi will have familiarity with his new coach.
