- Rocket’s away plotting a takeover of Leafsland so until he gets back you’re stuck with me. And Kyle. I promised Rocket that I wouldn’t turn All Habs into a shrine to Jaroslav Halak and other random goalies, but if you see random images/references/whatever to them, tell Rocket that it wasn’t me. And Rocket, if you’re reading this… it wasn’t me. Really.
- Wasn’t it just last week month two months ago that the NHLPA fired Paul Kelly and handed his job to Ian Penny? Well, if we thought that whole affair was a mess but somehow the NHLPA would sort itself out…. we were wrong. According to TSN, Penny technically resigned, but it sounds like he had little choice but to do so. I’m really only bringing this up because it could have a serious impact when the CBA can be reopened in two years. And if negotiations go badly… well, let’s just say I hope you’re like me and like following AHL/Junior/European hockey.
- Speaking of AHL hockey…. You might be interested to know that the Hammies Bulldogs are off to a great start. They’ve picked up points in all of their games and are the only team in the AHL who hasn’t yet lost in regulation (they have 2 shootout losses and 1 OT loss). Still early to tell, but I think thus far, Guy Boucher has been doing a really good job.
- Would you watch major junior hockey in Montreal if our city actually had a Habs prospect on the team? Would you come watch the Montreal Juniors if Alexander Avtsin came over to play? The Juniors have acquires his rights from the Quebec Remparts and now all they need to do is convince him to come play here. Why am I getting the feeling that this is going to be the super hard part?
- Is it mean of me to hope that Mike Komisarek will have another own goal tomorrow night against the Habs? He has two already. Another one can’t hurt. Right? Can’t hurt us, I mean… it might hurt him if Ron Wilson whacks him upside the head with a waterbottle….
