Hope Travis Moen is ok
Mar 24th
The other night as most people have seen, Travis Moen got Cullen’s skate to the forehead…. causing a really nasty cut and lots of blood.
I could help but go back to that moment all game long. Maybe that fact was made easier by the seeming lack of effort that the Habs showed on the ice.
My very best wishes go out to him.
Travis had a streak going this year. He was one in 3 players who had worn the Habs uniform in every season game (along with Plekanec and Gorges who probably should have missed one due to blocking a slap shot with his head).
What I’ll be looking for – Habs vs Avs
Oct 15th
Tonight, the Montreal Canadiens take on the Colorado Avalanche and is the Canadiens home opener.
Coming into tonight I’ve seen positives and negatives in the previous 5 games. The Avalanche should provide a very formidable opponent. They’ve got some great young talent and their taking off.
Here’s what I’ll be looking for tonight:

Thinking about the team 3 games in
Oct 7th
So we’re 3 games into the 2009/2010 NHL season. In these first 3 games there’s been many ups and downs already.
The Canadiens have had 2 big injuries and 1 minor injury in their first 2 games and thankfully last night everyone made it out ok!
Here’s a few thoughts on some ups and some downs so far (in no real particular order).

Thinking about the changes made after the first game
Oct 3rd
Thursday night.. at long last the 2009/2010 NHL season got underway. Getting back to Habs hockey…. love this time of year.
I got to watch a good chunk of Thursday’s game. I missed some of it so I’m not going to write a game recap or anything like that. But there were a few things that I did notice that I thought were worthy of a comment.
I can remember last season, and the season before and etc…. The Montreal Canadiens had a core of players for a good number of years, the veteran guys who weren’t brought back…. some who just up and left.

Montreal Canadiens vs New Jersey Devils – 2009/2010 season 35th game highlights and comments

Here are the game highlights from the Montreal Canadiens vs the New Jersey Devils played on December 17th 2009.
I missed the first period of play as I was at my daughter’s Christmas concert. (She did very well!)
Something the Canadiens have to improve on is the penalties they take. Again last night they took bad penalties which always puts them behind the 8 ball. While their penalty kill has been good this year (currently 8th in the league) it’s certainly not a reason to play shorthanded. Even when your only goal comes short handed (Travis Moen scored Montreal’s goal shorthanded).
Last night wasn’t the most exciting hockey in the world…. lot’s of shut down style defense. In the end though the one thing that sticks in my mind is New Jersey’s first goal. A long shot that was going way over the net…. Price puts his glove up…. the puck hits his glove, goes directly on the right side post…. bounces up to his feet…. where the puck then hits Carey’s skate as he skates back…. and the puck goes into the net.
Bad.
