Hey, guys!
So, this week I'm going to talk about something that has grabbed my attention and surprised me quite a bit. Yeah, you probably know what I'm talking about.... The Habs!
The Montreal Canadiens have been sensational this year! Starting off the regular season with a whopping 7-0 record! That's unheard of! Their new acquisitions over the summer have preet darn good for them, especially bringing in Zack Kassian from the Vancouver Canucks for Brandon Prust.
But, the real determining factor for Montreal has to be Carey Price! The young goalie has won six out of the past seven games! The Montreal Candiens are off to a fantastic start, but can they keep it up?
Montreal has been know to start off the season really well and then as we get to the middle of the season they get a bit odd, and by odd I mean, lose a few games back to back. Personally, I love Carey Price, I think for a young goaltender he's setting the bar really high for goalies all over the NHL and I think there's a ring for him in the not too distant future, but hey, what do I know, right?
So, I want to hear from you guys, my die hard Montreal fans! Do think the Habs can keep this unreal streak up? or do you think they're going to snap? Comment below!
Anyways, thanks for reading!
See you guys next week!

WOW! I FEEL GOOD!
Hey, guys!
So....HOW ABOUT THOSE JETS? The Winnipeg Jets are off to a fantastic start so far despite their rocky numbers in the preseason. I really hope they can keep it up! They started the regular season on the road in Boston winning 6-2, and another two wins against the Devils and the Rangers and one loss to the Islanders. Not too shabby if I do say so myself! I can't remember the last time the Jets were this great this early in the season! But, I have to hold my tongue, its very early in the season and I don't want to jinx anything.
I also have to mention how amazing Mark Scheifele is with 3 goals in 4 games! Last year Scheifele put some pretty decent numbers for a young forward. However, this year he is enroute to score 80 goals, which I think is ridiculous for someone that young, but hey, you never know, right?
So, I have to ask my readers. How long will the Jets keep up this amazing run? Will they lose at home or on the road? AND will Scheifele be a big part of the Jets success this year? What do you think? Comment below!
Until next week, guys!
GO JETS GO!

It's the most wonderful time of the yeaaaar!
Hey, guys!
I don't know about you guys but I'm super duper pumped right now! I just watched the Jets first regular season game and they just slaughtered the Boston Bruins! This makes me happier than the average person simply because I absolutely HATE the Bruins!
So, what can I say the Jets are off to good start and hopefully they can keep it going. They're playing in the toughest division so playoffs might be a real doozie again this year, but I have faith in them. Also, to anyone who watched the game tonight, how about that nice tap off Nic Petan's skate to make it 5-2 for the Jets? I'll tell you what, Petan and Nicolaj Ehlers are going to be fantastic players for the Jets (not to say they already aren't great players) but having that young blood on the team really makes the chemistry in the room a little more solid, in my opinion.
Now, I want to year from you guys! Who do you think out of all the new faces on the Jets this year is going to put up the most points? I'm putting my money on Ehlers! Who do you guys have your eyes on?
Until next time, guys!

I know it's the preseason but still...
Hey, guys.
So, I've been following the preseason quite a bit and I'm not happy at all with how the Jets have been doing...
I know, it's only the preseason but it's driving me nuts! The Jets have not won a SINGLE game. Does this grind anyone else's gears? Look, I get it, it's the preseason, but still! Micheal Hutchinson, who is supposed to be the Jets future starting goaltender lets in six goals the other day against Minnesota! Are you serious right now?
I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this post but thats fine, and everyone I talk to has said "Relax, it's only the preseason." I guess you could say I'm that guy who is worried that if the team is crappy in the preseason then they will be crappy in the regular season, you know, during the games that actually matter. With the Jets just squeaking their way into the Stanley Cup Playoffs last year, the expectations will be high of the players, and playing in the Central division certainly won't help either.
So, lets hear from you guys! How well do you think the Winnipeg Jets will do this year? I'm hoping for the playoffs and hopefully this time they win a game instead of getting swept, and hey, and advancement to the next round would be nice too.
Oh, and remember only 9 more days until hockey starts back up again! GO JETS GO!
Until next time guys!

Yeah, I'm still sour over that.
Hey, guys!
Today, I'm going to be talking about trades. One trade that I'm a bit sour about (even though it was two years ago) was the trade of my favourite goalie, Roberto Luongo from the Vancouver Canucks to the Florida Panthers. To me, Luongo was my favourite goalie in the NHL. The reason I was so upset over this trade was because the Canucks got nothing for him, and that previous summer they traded Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils.
HOW CAN A GENERAL MANGER DO THIS TO A POTENTIAL STANLEY CUP CONTENDER?
After the trade things have only been downhill for Vancouver. The Luongo trade happened in March of 2014, then in July 2014 Ryan Kesler, another star player for Vancouver was traded to Anaheim. Which inevitably started the hashtag on Twitter "#FireGillis" who at the time, was the general manger for the Canucks. immediately after the Kesler trade, Gillis was fired and replaced by Vanocouver Canucks alumni, Trevor Linden. However, since the replacement of Gillis with Linden he brought a new star goaltender, Ryan Miller from St. Louis. He isn't Luongo, but he does a somewhat decent job, I guess. Orca Bay, the company that owns the Canucks stated "We are in the process of a rebuild of this franchise." I'm seeing lots of talk, but no action. This past summer another Canucks star player was traded to Anaheim, Kevin Bieksa.
Four years ago, Vancouver was battling the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup, but unfortunately lost in game 7 in Vancouver.
Now, I would consider the Canucks lucky even if they could make it into the playoffs.
But, with all they trading they're doing, theres also hope for a better tomorrow.
Now, I want to hear from YOU! What trade/ trades still leaves a bad taste in your mouth? Comment below!
Anyways, thanks fro reading!

Hey, guys!
Today I'm going to talk about something big on philanthropy side in the NHL today. Now, for those of you who haven't heard, P.K Subban defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens agreed to make a 10 million dollar donation to the Montreal General Children's Hospital over the next 7 years.
Now, a lot of NHL fans either love Subban or hate him, as a Habs fan myself, I have big smile on my face, and I love him that much more. I think this is great for Subban and the Montreal Canadiens as a team. I mean, come on! How could you hate a guy for doing such an amazing thing?
I think this might be one of the biggest, if not the biggest donation to a medical institution in Canadian history. Because of this amazing donation, the Montreal General Children's Hosptial has renamed the Atrium after P.K. Subban! How incredible is that? Bottom line, love him or hate him, you have to have a big amount of respect for the guy after this.
I will also post the link from NHL.com so you guys can read the whole article. Also, I want to hear from you guys, do you think philanthropic work adds to a players respect level? Or do you think these guys should just stick to playing hockey?
Comment below!
And thanks again for reading!
See you next week!

I'm glad to be back!
Hey Everyone!
I took some time off from the whole blogging thing for a while but I'm happy to say that I am back in the game!
Now, some of you remember me for my blog about Metal and Hardcore music. But, and I apologize if this upsets anyone. I'm going to be changing the topic of my blog to hockey! My favourite sport! I'm going to be talking about players, goalies, coaches, calls, fights, tweets, refs, expansion franchises, struggling franchises, rumours, lawsuits, if it happens in the hockey world, I'll be all over it.
So, get ready to talk some serious puck!
Thanks for reading, guys!
