    All the best to M. Beliveau on his birthday!

    I've related the story of my encounter with him on here before, so I won't again.  Suffice to say that moment was one I will always treasure.  He is a true gentle man . . . with a noble and kind heart. 

    I placed his autograph at the head of my desk so that each day I am reminded of his influence on me, which goes 'way beyond sports and my love for the Canadiens.

  • Comment on Game 66: Canadiens win to grab East lead
    I loved how Bob Cole kept getting cut off as the broadcast went to commercial . . . happened many times. Either he didn't know when to stop talking, or the technicians didn't care he was still talking! I'm glad I decided to miss Cherry and the Hot Stove League during the intermissions. Sounds like I couldn't have stood it!

    That shift by Lapierre was brilliant . . . all that digging snuffed the Devils' momentum! Wow!! Effort! Way to go all Les Boys. You wanted it . . . we wanted it . . . I wanted it . . . feel only slightly silly after yelling at my TV set for the last few minutes!! Allons!

    Cher M. Richard, Recalling that Feb 29th was your birthday and reading the many birthdays wishes from your fans, old and new, brought back sweet memories for me growing up as a Canadiens fan cheering for you and all our players -- road hockey, every afternoon after school, till well past dark, skating at the neighbourhood rink in all kinds of weather (mostly sub-zero!), and the glorious feeling of being bone tired after many hours of both -- all proudly wearing my #16 Montreal sweater. Please add my voice to the many who honour and respect you -- and who wish you the happiest of birthdays. Joyeux anniversaire!

    frank81 -- thanks for clarifying my error . . . it was a REAL quick look I took, obviously. So it's more like at 56th pick (as things stand now).
  • Comment on Hossa, a Penguin, slips through Habs grasp
    Just getting ready to hear the press conf . . . kept waiting all day for the other skate to drop after the Huet trade for what seemed like almost nothing. Overall, I am glad we didn't give up what Pitt did for Hossa. And, If I read the current standings correctly, if the season ended now, that second round pick is somewhere around 37th to 40th overall (just had a real quick look at it, admittedly). Not that bad. Some of us here wanted Price to take the lead . . . here goes. I'll sure be watching tonight!!
