Habs Rookie Camps – Season Prelude!
Sep 13th
Many of you, well if you’re anything like me, are anticipating the beginning of training camp. I really can’t say it enough.. but I’m looking forward to Habs hockey. Bigtime.
A prelude to the training camp and pre-season is the Rookie Camps.
Thanks to the Montreal Gazette we can even see clips on YouTube. Yeah I know, they’re probably not the only ones.
Once all the pre-season roster is together and they play their first pre-season games I’m usually elated. I love seeing the prospects play in pre-season games. I know some people say the games mean nothing… etc.. etc… But they do mean something.
We get to see the young guys along side the regular roster players. How they handle it, talent level… improvements over last year… etc.. etc..
Can’t wait!
Cammalleri on loss to Leafs and a few comments
Feb 25th
I love Habs Inside/Out! A great resource for Canadiens fans everywhere.
Anyway, here’s Cammalleri on the loss to the Leafs. (courtesy of Habs Inside/Out)
It was a spirited game last night and at times the Habs did play with great intensity. I gotta say that I thought Reimer played well, he made some crucial stops for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal just couldn’t capitalize.
This morning, the Canadiens sit in 6th place and are 9 points ahead of the 9th place Sabres, but with 20 games left to play there are alot of points up for grabs. And this time of year, every game becomes crucial unless you’re sitting in 1st in your conference like Philly is. At 86 points, they’re quite comfortable.
But the 71 point Habs??? Every game is crucial!
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.
