Is Habs’ Erik Cole The Best Free-Agent Signing Of The Year?
Much has been made of the questionable choices made by former Montreal Canadiens general manager, Pierre Gauthier, and fans absolutely rejoiced at the news of his firing last Thursday, but there is a near-flawless diamond among the rough moves that he made this year: Erik Cole.

Montreal Canadiens Erik Cole High-Fives Ref After Goal
I’ve seen alot of different goal celebrations throughout my years of being a hockey fan, but this has to be a first!
Last Wednesday, Habs forward Erik Cole scored a goal against the Ottawa Senators. Afterward, he skates past the ref (who is signaling the goal) and high-fives him. That’s definitely getting caught up in the moment.

SACRE BLEU!
Video: Habs player scores, high-fives ref
Erik Cole scored a goal on Wednesday night for the Ottowa Senators and couldn’t find any of his teammates to celebrate with. So what did Cole do? He found an outstretched arm of an 18-year veteran official Greg Kimmerly and gave him a high five. Pretty hilarious and you can only imagine what the ref was thinking after it happened.
“He was the only one there...

Erik Cole celebrates scoring goal by giving high-five to ref (Video)
Montreal Canadiens forward Erik Cole scored the first goal of Wednesday night's NHL game in Montreal against the Ottawa Senators. As Cole looked for someone to celebrate, the first person he came across was NHL referee Greg Kimmerly who had his hand up to signal that the goal was good. Naturally, Cole's instincts took over and he gave the ref a high-five.

CELEBRATION TIME
Video: Canadiens F scores, high-fives ref
The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in a shootout Wednesday night in a game with zero playoff implications.
Canadiens forward Erik Cole did provide some entertainment, though, in this battle of the Eastern Conference’s worst. It came in the form of a goal celebration. Watch:

SACRE BLEU!
Video: Habs player scores, high-fives ref
I can confidently say that I’ve never seen this happen before, but it was certainly entertaining. In the Canadiens/Senators game tonight, Erik Cole scored the first goal of the game on Sens backup goalie Ben Bishop and then proceeded to high-five referee Greg Kimmerly. It didn’t seem like Kimmerly was exactly planning for the high-five, more like signaling that it was a...

Alexei Emelin Destroys Teammate Erik Cole
Yesterday’s game between the Minnesota Wild and Montreal Canadiens proved to be very eventful. Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin tried to throw a check on Nick Johnson of the Minnesota Wild, but instead collided with his teammate Erik Cole and flipped him up into the air, acrobat style. Emelin has a notoriously mean hip check that I’m sure Cole wasn’t too pleased...

Video: Canadiens D hipchecks teammate
For an NHL defenseman, it has to be a good feeling to skate through center ice and lay a good hit on a guy with his head. But, it can't be a good feeling when that guy with his head down is your teammate.Montreal Canadiens blue liner Alexei Emelin had Minnesota Wild winger Nick Johnson lined up for a little hip check when Johnson pulled a nifty move to sidestep him. Instead...
