Found February 15, 2012 on HabsAddict.com:
The 2012 NHL Trade Deadline is approximately two weeks away. If any of you are like me, excitement is building within. To be honest, I am really not sure why I get all giddy at this time of year. Generally speaking, the Montreal Canadiens make little or no moves at the deadline. Minor trades, little tweaking and roof repair have been the norm in recent years. However, this year I...

NHL Trade Deadline Bait: Montreal Canadiens' Hal Gill

Less than two short weeks away, the Trade Deadline is the focus of increasing discussion and chatter, both online and off. Obviously, here at HabsAddict we are more than thrilled to join the conversation. Continuing our multi-part series looking at both potential trade bait as well as possible targets for the Habs, we look at the potential trade of rearguard Hal Gill ...

Top 10 Worst Montreal Canadiens Players In Recent History

The Montreal Canadiens have won 24 Stanley cups, the most in NHL history, but they haven’t won Lord Stanley’s trophy since 1993. This long successful history has led to a storied list of players to be considered as the greatest Habs of all time. But the current streak of futility—18 years without a Stanley Cup—has also led to some of the worst players to even don the Bleu...

Speaking of Marchand, here's Hal Gill's knee on knee hit with Rich Peverly

While everyone is ******** themselves over Marchand's minor clipping penalty (apparently people feel that minor penalties are suspension worthy now -- that's how mad NHL fans are right now), people totally forgot this hit by the USS Hal Gill on Rich Peverly. Knee on knee.Peverly didn't return after this. There was no penalty called either.It's clearly knee to knee...

Habs/Bruins, Worst Habs, 2007 Draft and More

Morning puck fans. Really interesting piece in the links below. Especially for all those who are quick to dismiss the Canadiens' draft record. In short, in Hockey's Future evaluation of the 2007 Draft, four of the team's first five picks have graduated to the NHL. If you need a refresher, P.K Subban and Max Pacioretty, amongst others, were part of that draft...

Kamal Panesar: Habs Roundup: Is Montreal a seller, Randy Cunneyworth, NHL Trade deadline a

The NHL trade deadline is fast approaching—approximately two weeks away—and the buying teams are starting to separate themselves from the sellers. For the Montreal Canadiens, currently sitting in 12th overall in the East, the question is which category they will fall into. Logic would dictate that this team should be selling, since squeaking into the playoffs hardly...

Steven Hindle: The Andrei Markov Effect

Habs Barely .500 without #79 Since the start of the season, a question has been on my mind. At first it was just a little bit of curiosity on behalf of a guy who covers two teams very closely, a thought about the longevity and endurance of both the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals premiere defensemen. And though I was prepared to move on from that thought as both...

Video: Habs fans cheer after Chara is hit by puck

How far is too far? Hockey fans cheer for big hits and fights. When two guys drop the gloves, they want the guy on their team to rearrange the other guy’s face. It’s worse with rivals. Fan bases can develop an unbelievable hatred for one another, and no two groups of fans are a better example of that than the Bruins and Canadiens. That being said, is cheering when a rival...

The successes and failures of the Canes PK

In my recap of Monday's win over the Montreal Canadiens, I said that the Canes had two of their worst performances on the penalty kill along with one of their best. Overall, they were burned for two powerplay goals in the second period, gave up four scoring chances and nine shots on about six and a half minutes on the PK, which is pretty bad overall. Most of that damage came...

Zdeno Chara takes puck to face, Canadiens fans cheer...loudly

Anyone surprised? If so, you don't know the Montreal Canadiens fan base too well. These are the same whinebags who booed America's National Anthem in Boston and tried to have Zdeno Chara hung at the gallows following his hit on Max Pacioretty last year. Of course they're going to cheer when something like this happens, especially when it happens to a guy they hateÂ...

Gomez, Habs asst. have shouting match (AP)

Montreal Canadiens forward Scott Gomez and an assistant coach got into a shouting match at practice Tuesday. Assistant Randy Ladouceur apparently was upset at what he considered a lack of intensity during a drill. Gomez is among the league's highest-paid players but has only one goal this year for the struggling Canadiens.

Ty Anderson: Bruins avoid disaster, Montreal applauds injury, Brad strikes again?

For as much hatred as there is in a rivalry that's 88 years old, let's not kid ourselves, the match-up's between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens in 2011-12 have been anything but heated. It's been a lukewarm feud for these clubs, whose seasons have become a Northeastern tale of two cities, but the (likely) finale tonight in episode six did anything but disappoint...
