My Montreal Canadiens 12-Man Roster
by Tyg
When I first thought about what forwards I want playing for the Montreal Canadiens next week, my first inclination was to have fun with it and go gonzo. Frankly, I’d pretty much ice Team Canada in the bleu, blanc et rouge.
But stepping off Fantasy Island here, I thought it only fair to work within the confines of the roster that head coach Jacques Martin has to choose from and pick my team accordingly.
1. Eller – Gomez – Gionta
Cap hit aside, Scott Gomez is actually a speedy, effective centreman who routinely gains the offensive zone. Brian Gionta’s attributes I’ve...

My Montreal Canadiens 12-Man Roster
By Willey
The start of the 2010-11 hockey season is right around the corner and a certain buzz is filling the streets of Montreal but to me, the start of a new NHL season is always accompanied by a series of nagging questions.
Is this team good enough to make the playoffs? Will this team be tough enough to compete on a daily basis? What is this team missing? What would I do if I was GM?
Like any arm-chair GMs, I consistently question every single player on this roster and continuously use EA SPORTS NHL 11 as my de facto forum to make the roster changes which I feel would work best on my team.

Which Canadiens Would Be In Your Habs Top-12 Forwards List?
by Kamal Panesar
So a challenge, of sorts, has been thrown out into the Habs blogging community this week by @shmitzysays of the blog Shmitzy Says.
And what is the challenge?
To name the 12 forwards that I would choose to start the season in Montreal.
Given the nature of this assignment, I think "challenge" is perhaps not the right word. Shmitzy is a smart guy and with all the conversation and opinions going on about who should or should not be on...

Les gardiens du CH depuis le règne de Patrick Roy
Par ZoneHabs
Être gardien de but pour le Canadien de Montréal, c'est être l'une des personnalité les plus en vue dans les médias du Québec. Le poste tant convoité est aussi à l'origine d'innombrables discussions dans les foyers de la province. On se souvient tous du débat Price/Halak qui a divisé les partisans durant la saison dernière. Maintenant, que la question est réglée (sauf pour quelques faux fans du haut des gradins du Centre Bell), ZoneHabs a décidé d'analyser les performances de tous les cerbères du Tricolore depuis l'époque de Patrick Roy.

Can You Boo The Canadiens and Still Call Yourself a Fan?
by Kamal Panesar
Montreal, QC - The topic of the day in Montreal and around the NHL today, is the booing that Habs' goaltender Carey Price received during the Canadiens preseason loss to the Boston Bruins last night.
I watched the game from the comfort of my living room couch, and was doing live in-game Tweets while all of this was going on. Once Price let in the first goal—93 seconds into the game—you could see a shift in the sentiments being expressed through the Twitterverse.
While a small minority jumped all over Price for letting in a bad goal, the majority...
