About
Dave Stubbs has been a sportswriter since 1976, which was roughly a decade after he wore the first of many holes through the knees of his jeans playing nets in road hockey (using a modified butterfly popularized by Hall of Famer Glenn Hall). He still has the welts to show on his shins from that rotten, frozen orange ball.
Stubbs kept thick hockey scrapbooks filled with game summaries and Gazette and Montreal Star stories, collected dozens of Bee Hive Corn Syrup photos and put a fortune of hockey cards through the spokes of his bikes. First book ever owned: Scrubs On Skates, the classic by Scott Young (Neil's dad).
Stubbs's fantasy is to travel back in time to the 1950s and watch the great Canadiens dynasty that won five consecutive Stanley Cups. Or a decade earlier, to watch Elmer Lach centre Rocket Richard and Toe Blake on the fearsome Punch Line. Or at least to get Rogie Vachon into the Hockey Hall of Fame – where he belongs.

Just heard on team 990 that Pouliot is practising with Gomez and SK. If he could go the crease and creates traffics, he could be successful.
dang....that means no gionta.....any word on his fitness or expected return? the Leafs on boxing day?
Gionta's had a setback and was told by team doctors he needed to take 4 days off from skating, he's flown back to Montreal along with Mara.

I hope Bob sig ned Plecks before the end of the season or we will lose another nothing in return . Hes got to stop this ego crap
P.K!! P.K!!!
Since the RDS guys say "BANG!" a lot after bergeron scores, how about.....BERGEBANG!
Or Bangeron
Both Markov and Mara have been role players who have done their jobs. It seems the only criticism against them has been when someone expects more that they can give. There are other young d-men to step into Mara's role. At least temporarily.
Bergeron has a bit more of a unique role as the PP point shot.

Thank you Santa for returning Markov.
The only criticism I have against Markov is that he got injured. Wake up, Andrei, and stop being so god damn injured.
Timo the "terrible"
Considering all the defensemen we have both in the NHL and AHL, I think we can manage without Mara. Good opportunity to get Belle or Carle some more ice time, and keep bergie on 4th line and PP duty.
If Mara is out, why not give Carle another shot. Looked decent last time up?
I thought Carle looked real steady when he was up.
Great job Bergeron!! Lots of heart! Go Habs Go!!
#47 is the new awesome!
______________________________________ Lets name a Captain.
He awesomeness can only be recognized once he goes FULL BREEZER.
Also is Bergeron Likely to play with whiplash?
I think we can pretty much assume that mara broke something. Also why did they not whistle the play when he went down after we regained puck posession? is it because he got back up?
They only blow the whistle when hit in the head or face.
I think he got back up because they weren't blowing the whistle. We were questioning it was well. The poor guy was obviously seriously hurt and yet the play continued forever, or so it seemed!
........... "To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high." I STILL BELIEVE. I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE.
Either way I think he was great for roughing it. He just said "ouch, but I have a job to do"
Ya reminded me of Dandy last year.
