The new season is almost there. As every year, some teams have made a few changes in their logos and/or uniforms. Among them, the Buffalo Sabres, who recently introduced their new set of jerseys. As you can see, they’re going for a “traditional” look. Of course, someone had to pay a cruel price for those [...]

Apparently, Jaro Spacek found some time to escape from his lifeguarding duties to answer a few questions about his personal music/books/movies/etc. tastes for the habs website. I’m mentioning this because those kind of “get to know your players” interviews that virtually all the professional teams put on their websites tend to really make me laugh. [...]

Yes, let’s face it, it’s summer, and there’s no hockey… But hockey fans are not the only ones suffering during summer. It’s not easier for hockey players. Just like every year, the Habs have to find jobs during the off-season to make a bit of money. This summer, thanks to an exclusive series* of photoshops [...]

This started as a post stating my love for Chipchura and my sadness to see him go. But then, it turned into something bigger. An ode to fringe NHLers. I’ve already written a little bit about Chips this year (I’ll miss this name A LOT). As you know, he was dealt to Anaheim yesterday. Looking [...]

I’m a little late on this, but I just wanted to say something about the Hartnell finger biting incident. Every time this happens, I’m HIGHLY amused by the sheer outrage and the apparently terrible pain that a little bite on the finger inevitably provokes. Now, it’s true that I haven’t been bitten in a long [...]

J’ai toujours aimé ces petites histoires de superstition et de routine d’avant match, parce que ça montre finalement bien que les sportifs professionnels sont des gens ordinaires (ou presque) placés dans des situations extraordinaires, où on attend d’eux des choses spéciales. Comme il leur est impossible d’avoir le contrôle sur tout,  alors que la pression [...]

I’m sorry I’m not updating this blog a little more often these days, but I’m busy, and honestly, I just don’t feel very inspired. I’m not really excited about the Stanley Cup Final, and there’s just not much going on with the habs. Actually, I just realized I didn’t even bother posting anything special after [...]

Encore un exemple des petits plaisirs de la vie dans la NHL: Au programme pour les Habs ce soir: Soirée concours de flûte avec les Senators à Ottawa! Jarkko s’est entraîné très dur pour ce soir!

Yesterday I read this post from EP at Shifts and Sets about the infamous pink jerseys, and it inspired me a little rant about some marketing trends of the NHL. I completely agree with EP about those pink jerseys. I think it’s a rather unfortunate way to try to appeal to the female hockey fans. [...]

Just so you know, I wrote this in French, because the article I comment in this post was written in French. But I wrote an English traduction of this post too, because I really wanted to make sure everybody could read it. You can find the English version just under this post, here. ~~~ Bon, [...]
