The ‘H’ Does Stand for ‘Habs’
So often in response to decisions taken for political or linguistic reasons, Habs management replies that they are demanded by ‘the fans.’ It refers to a small segment of its fanbase – a fanbase that is large, socioeconomically diverse, and global. A fanbase that is devout to three colours, whether or not the team on the ice is playoff-bound or whether or not the team behind-the-scenes is making the most egregious management errors. A fanbase that watches every game on RDS, CBC, Gamecentre, Centre Ice, etc., regardless of whether or not it works in the C-suite of Bombardier, Bell, Desjardins, Gildan, Saputo, Jean Coutu, etc. And yet, in spite of this, the organization seems to feel compelled to continue making the same mistakes of yore by virtually writing off its non-francophone fans. Officially, the ‘H’ does not stand for ‘Habs;’ it stands for ‘hockey.’ Unofficially, the ‘H’ does – and should – stand for ‘Habs.’ And it would serve management well to take heed of this.

The Deal is Done — Cash for Price
The numbers started leaking out just after 3 p.m. local time this afternoon. Was it $5.25 million? Further updates revealed a two year deal totalling $5.5 million.
While some struggled with long division, capologists quickly informed us that the hit was $2.75 million a year. The Canadiens will start the season with 22 players under contract and a shade less than $1.4 million remaining in the coffers, a razor thin margin in the cap world.
