Christmas Gifts for the Canadiens
Posted on 29 Dec 2009 by Corey Krakower.

They have won 4 of their last 5, all of which have been on the road, and they conclude their 7 game road trip with 2 “home games” in Tampa and in Florida. There is plenty of positive and some negative to go around, but for now, I wanted ...

The second period goes to t...

Habs Defense Takes a Major Hit

Saturday's big win in Toronto came at a costly price. The news broke this afternoon that Andrei Markov and Mathieu Schneider will be out for extended periods of time, due to injuries sustained during the game.
