Season's greetings from the Canadiens

I love how Dandaneault's stick says LE DANDY

Wouldn't it be nice if the numbers on their sticks stood for how many goals they currently have.

Is there any partuicular reason that Koivu has #88 on his stick? . . . ______________________________________________ "Vote Saku for All-Star... or little Timmy gets it!!!"

I don't think Pleks had a chance to alter his stick before this picture was taken, because that stick is as long as Komisarek's and there is no tape on the end. Komisarek is 6'4" and Pleks is only 5'10". I realize that defensemen generally like longer sticks but I'd be very surprised if Plekanec's stick is that long considering how good he is with the puck. Dave, thanks for the post. I don't know why, but cheering for the Canadiens is almost a lifestyle. I'm so wrapped up in them that I'm analyzing their Christmas card.

The size of the knob on Hamrlik's (aka Hamlik) is massive. It looks like a goalie's stick. I wonder if that is a typo or a nickname? Grabovski's stick is the only nameless one. Surprised at how long Saku and Plekanec's sticks are. Perhaps it's an advantage in the faceoff circle? It never ceases to amaze me how much tape these guys put on their sticks. They get these ultra flimsy lightweight sticks that break every time they try to make a pass, but then they load the tape onto it, which makes it as heavy as a stronger wooden stick. Look at Lats' stick, for crying out loud!

Upon closer examination... "Smoke", I get... But "Le Dandy"? And "Hamlik" isn't that much shorter than "Hamrlik"... It just sounds dirtier :O

Does anyone have a take on the latest Habs-Sharks rumours- Marleau/Bernier for Koivu/Ryder + Prospect? It sounds interesting. As much as I love Koivu, I think there is definetley a rift between him and Carbo which is dragging him down.

Esposito gets sent home from the WJ camp for the third consecutive year. I'm glad we didn't pick him.

Id like to get myself on that christmas card list. Im barely on my families list so it'd be nice to get one from the Habs

interesting, the best puck handler on the team has the shortest stick for a forward. --------- until the problem in my picture is solved...we will not be Champions.

Look at much shorter Kovelevs stick is to Koivu's

Not sure if this was on anyone's Christmas list...but just read on TSN that PK made the World Juniors as the team's seventh defenseman....good job PK!

Haha, LE DANDY #25

Awww... look at that cute lil' Bouillon stick!

I like the photo of the sticks. I would find it interesting to read what type and style of sticks the players use along with comments on why they have made those choices. I also noticed that some have no "knobs" on the top. Do they wax the tape? Do some cut off the tape of the bottom of the blades? Etc. Perhaps others might find an article on this kind of stuff interesting too? Just a thought.

why is it we are making a point to showing who is on this years team, compared to back when we had really dominating teams in the 60's and 70's? I do enjoy this pick, I think they shoulda had more stuff like this back then. Trivia: from the current lineup of players we have up and players on the ir, whose stick is missing?

Pretty nifty. I'm hungry, time for some breakfast yum. Ex nihilo nihil fit

Does anyone know if there's a high res of the 2007-2008 card anywhere? That would make the coolest background for my laptop...

How does one get on such a Christmas list? Do you have to be a season ticket holder or have some other connection to the organization?

Very cool!!
