Julien Completely Justified in Rant on Montreal Embellishment
From Mike Ribeiro to Max Lapierre to today’s P.K.

Blackhawks Fix: Randomness for a Hockeyless October
Fine. So the season isn’t starting on time, I’ve accepted that, BUT that will not stop me from finishing my game-by-game breakdown of the Blackhawks season.

Let’s Give Credit Where It’s Due: Washington Deserved To Win The Series
It was their 196th game in the past eighteen months. Their power-play was once again unproductive, scoring at only a 14% (3-for-23) clip. They’d lost three out of the four playoff games on home ice.
