Last week, Tuesday Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson came to Montreal with his father for training. We trained a little bit - he taught me a lot of new stuff for my striking skills. His father is a very good mentor for me & a very good teacher. Unfortunately, Stephen hurt his knee and will have to do surgery for it. I left Saturday a.m. for the press tour in Vegas, and he...
Hey, what's up with everyone in the yard? I thought I'd stop in today to talk some hockey. Growing up in Canada, hockey was as much a part of my life as lacrosse was, and even though lacrosse fills up most of my time now days, I still find some time to be a hockey enthusiast……make that a Montreal Canadiens enthusiast!!!!
As many of you may know today was...

Montreal Canadiens have a stud in nets.
Carey Price will be getting a ton of playing time this season for the Habs. He has no competition in nets. The signing of Marc Denis means nothing. Denis or Halak will be Price's backup and the other will be sent to Hamilton. I wouldn't be shocked to see Halak get traded though.
Final Verdict: Carey Price will be a top 10 goaltender...

It always takes me being backed up against a wall to get this series predictions done, and the puck drops in fifteen minutes, so it's probably time to get something here. Once again I'll preface this series by admitting the incredible self interest I have in it. However at the same time, these are probably the two teams I know more than any other in the league. As a Penguins fan...

Yesterday Hab's tough guy Georges Laraque made some waves when he said that proposing a 10 minute misconduct for fights after the face off: was the stupidest thing ever!" Laraque told TSN. "I think it's a joke. They might as well take fighting out of the NHL...fighting won't be safer; it will be eliminated because an added 10 minute misconduct is too much."...

After being the number one star in Tampa Bay's 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, Vinny Prospal was still pissed. Unhappy after being demoted from Vinny Lecavalier's and Martin St. Louis' line for a few games, he let his feelings be known about the people who made the decision to give him less ice time.

So after another drubbing upon the Isles, the Official Isles website has 4 stories and features on Kyle Okposo, along with the China story. And nothing about the 3-0 loss to Montreal last night. The game recap is buried. If you watched the game, you watched an ineffectual offense unable to make a den...

If Mark Recchi's NHL career ends in the same city where it began, it won't be by the former Pittsburgh winger's choice.
The NHL's 23rd all-time leading scorer, who cleared waivers Wednesday, is likely to get bought out and signed by another club seeking the kind of veteran leadership that he delivered in Carolina's 2006 Stanley Cup run. Recchi, a two-time Cup...
