Mini -Break


Hello!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out one of the funniest and sanest Canadiens’ web sites …

Since the beginning of last season, with the exception of a couple of days here and there – I have written pretty much seven days a week on the Habs.

That is more than any of the guys who cover the team for the Montreal Gazette and most online web sites! (I could write three times a day and never catch up with the French media.)

I need a break.

I will be back in a short while. By the time Gomez scores a goal – wait, Ill be back sooner than that! With the latest news in my down-to-earth, funny style.

Thank you for supporting me and please check the archives – there are quite a bit of stories to keep you busy for a few days.

See ya soon …

Rick

Top Ten Signs Lars Eller’s Four Goal Night Inflated his Ego


Lars Eller became the first Hab to score four goals on home ice since Brian Bellows.

This feat caused great celebration among the home fans and in turn – created a fun evening for the young Danish skater.So much fun for the kid – it appears it has gone to his head !

Here now are the top Ten signs this is true …

10. Is now demanding free Big Mac trios at McDonalds.Not just in Montreal …everywhere he goes !

9. When Paul Henderson visited the Habs dressing room before the Tampa game, Lars stood up when someone asked about ‘the goal ‘!

8. Eller refuses to shake Red Fisher ‘s hand !

7. Has informed his teammates that – from now on , they can refer to him as Halak !

6. Nobody , and I mean nobody , can touch his stick ! ( Or – as he refers to it ; ‘my magic wand ‘!)

5. Suddenly – his helmet is too small …

4. Has asked management if he can park his new Porsche in Beliveau’s spot…

3. He called up EA Sports to insist they put his picture on the cover of their NHL video game.

2. Started taking French lessons so HE can coach the team !

And the number one reason his four goal night has inflated his ego ?

1. Does not ‘care’ if number ten is retired – he wants it and he wants it NOW !
